Ristorante La Siesta 2.0 In Messina

19/09/2025: Tasty but overpriced food in an unfortunate setting. You're sitting on top of a main avenue and the noise/exhaust from constant traffic (mostly motorcycels, and buses) makes eating here a literal headache. Small portions and a 4 euro cover per person make this an terrible value despite the quality of the food.

17/09/2025: New to Sicily and it took me an hour to decide where to eat. I ended up here because the touristy spot nearby was too busy and wow, I was lucky. The seafood was unbelievable. I had the mussels ‘mare’ starter and the seafood linguine, and both were hands down the best seafood I’ve ever eaten in my life. Everything was cooked to perfection nothing overdone, just fresh, flavorful, and unforgettable. The staff had real character, and the chefs put their own creative spin on every dish, even the tiramisù. I walked in with pictures and left with one of the best first dining experiences I could have imagined in Taormina. Highly recommend!
