Review The Messy Tomato - Adelaide

Unsuspecting place with such yummy food. Cannot believe how delicious the pastas was! Granchio was out of the world……just needed some bread to mop up every little bit of sauce left. Breakfast platter was full of variety from savoury to sweet. We ordered 2 servings to feed 3 people. Definitely be back! Update: Sphagetti primavera so subtle in its looks but bucket loads of flavour! Another yummo

Messy Tomato has friendly servers, a soothing atmosphere and exemplary kitchen staff. When I walked into the restaurant, I was warmly greeted by a male and female server who sat me down and walked me through the menu. I ordered the egg, broccolini, cheese and toast breakfast dish and an oat milk coffee and both were perfectly executed. Afterwards, I had a great chat with the owner and kitchen attendant, both of which treated me to pleasant conversation. Highly recommend this place as breakfast/lunch catchup joint with friends.

One of the best breakfast places in Adelaide CBD. Highly recommended. Service is really good too.

Busy buzzing popular place on Sunday morning brunch where my friend raved about the place for its food. Yes the platter for 2 was instagram-envy worthy. However, improvements can be made in their timing. We booked for 10.30AM, but still had to wait 15 minutes. Friendly server was busy working the front of the house where she had to tend to people inside and outside the establishment and we probably were there during their peak time which was a surprise to see the one main server. Another person, perhaps the owner or manager helped out front from time to time which I thought, if you know your only wait staff is busy, take the initiative to help take orders, clear tables, quality check and be engaged with the customers rather than just monitor the situation. By the time a third person came out to help, rush hour service was over.

OMG … they’ve nailed it. How can such a small kitchen pump out such nice food. Best crab / prawn pasta for a long time & pasta cooked al dente !!

We had a 5 star dining experience, every touch point exceeded our expectations. The staff are highly experienced, greatly attentive, and didn't mind a joke while taking our order (which was a nice touch). The food was fantastic, the ingredients were fresh, tasty and the flavours were well balanced. The portion sizes were very generous, we had the shared breakfast between three of us and there was more than enough food to go around. Last but not least, the coffee was perfect, the weather called for an iced long black and is certainly hit the spot. We'll most definitely be back.

One of the best breakfasts in Adelaide CBD. Omelette was packed full of delicious veggies and was very nicely balanced. Fungi tartuffo was also very nice and balanced. Staff were very friendly.

First time visit and can't wait to go back. Great value for money combined with atmosphere and service. The food was absolutely outstanding and Toni, Tony and their team did a great job looking after my friend and I. We had vegan special and napoletano for brunch, really enjoyable. We shared pistachio dessert and they were marvellous. I will be back here very soon. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.

Delicious food. The breakfast platter was huge and had so much different food on it! Loved it. The service was also extremely friendly and welcoming. We will be back!

We had breakfast today at the Messy Tomato which was a decent enough venue with sizeable meal portions though my chai was incredibly watery and my dish lacked seasoning. <br/><br/>I definitely didn’t appreciate the owner referring to me as ‘chicky babe’ as a 32 year old woman in 2020. Wouldn’t return

Amazing pasta platter and amazing service (attentive in all the right ways)... I have already recommended to many and will absolutely go back. Gnocchi with porcini mushrooms my fave 😍.
