Sure its located in one of the those massive '80s resorts on the Golden Mile that makes us cringe, but it's in one of the best renovated luxury hotels and home to husband-and-wife team, Chef Mauricio Giovanini and his wife Pía Ninci. A prestigious interior space of red-inspired decor mixes with posh chairs with chrome leg detailing perfectly reflects a dark hardwood floor and glass-enclosed kitchen with dinnertime glimpses of the star-chef himself. One of the few gourmands in Marbella open throughout the year, summertime is when you'll want a seat on the ocean view terrace with swaying palm trees under the open night sky.

Critics and keen gastronomes have heaped praise upon this magnificent restaurant, also in the centre of Marbella and run by founders, husband-and-wife team, Chef Mauricio Giovanini and his wife, Pía Ninci.

The Food

Messina Restaurant has received one Michelin star for his Andalusian menu that’s inspired by sea, sky, mountains and sand. Main course marries fish and meat dishes like jumbo prawns with artesian greens, previously mentioned sea bass or a slow-roasted tomato version and rotating grilled meats served sizzling to the table.

Last Word

Two-star Michelin chef and wife turn Marbella into foodie destination of Spain.
