Really struggling this week. 10a.Tip to cool an Italian place (7) M?S?I?A. I can't parse Messina. 23a. Famous old king at lunch, say (5) G?U?T. Thank you for any help

Doh. The penny has just dropped. Mess=tip in=cool. Still can't solve 23 across though.

Thanks Danny and Jo. Won't do a Best Answer as they both deserve it. I had Incur for 17 down which threw me out.
