Grotte-Pizzeria,Focacceria,Bar In Messina

Honestly, I had to change my mind. It didn't start out very well. The day before, I had gone to make a reservation for a table of 12 people. It was Saturday, and the girl at the cash register was rude. That's a compliment! Instead, we found the staff, though small for the number of people, very kind and helpful. The pizza was good, with crispy and well-cooked dough. The gluten-free one was also good. The traditional focaccia was decent, but the capricciosa was a little less so. The only major flaw was the poor-quality cheese. It looks like a rava. The one with speck and burrata, however, was excellent. Service was a bit slow; we waited over an hour for the focaccia. The pizzas, however, arrived 15 minutes after ordering. Prices were average.

Without saying a word, I paid €50 for about 4 kg of Messina focaccia. If last year's menu is still valid, the traditional one should have cost €10 per kg, so I shouldn't have paid more than €40. But since they thought they'd found chicken, they played the classic three-card monte. They were happy, but I'll never stop by again. Not to mention their smug and rather confusing attitude.

Specialties: granita, focaccia, and rustici. All excellent.

The focaccia was good and the price was good, the view over the Strait of Messina is stunning, the downside is the difficulty in parking and the dangerous location on a bend.

Excellent pizzeria in Messina facing the sea, in my opinion, being from Rome, the best pizza in Messina (here they call it focaccia). The only problem is that sometimes you wait a long time to eat.

One of the best foccacia in Messina.

Great evening with friends, delicious focaccia

Great cafe with different snacks and drinks. €9 for my table 😁🍹
