New Orleans Caterer for 60+ Years
The Messina Family History
The Messina’s name first entered the New Orleans culinary scene in June of 1961 when Andy Messina fulfilled his lifelong dream of owning a restaurant with his father. Andy Messina’s Restaurant and Catering Company served the Kenner area for more than 30 years when Andy’s son, George, took over the restaurant in 1991. George’s vision to expand the trusted family restaurant business to new levels. Consistency in quality, attention to detail, repeat customer satisfaction and increased revenues each year has propelled Messina’s to become a leader in the New Orleans food and beverage industry.
Today Messina’s is a full-service food and beverage provider with a large commissary in Jefferson Parish, a kitchen in New Orleans, and two sales offices. We provide off-site catering to some of New Orleans’ most prestigious event spaces and private residences, manage some of the area’s largest food and beverage festivals, and provide exclusive food and beverage management to many prominent local venues and hotels.
