L'Ancora dal 1968 In Messina

Excellent and convenient for stopping while waiting for the ferry to arrive even if you don't consume anything. For me it's like a service area both for the quiet atmosphere because it gives a sense of relaxation and for those people like me who leave work and they want to relax by eating something or just take a break while waiting for the ferry... It's a truly relaxing place. I gave 4 stars and not 5 because the service is excellent, the only thing that could be used in moderation is the music. Sometimes and very high. I think that in an environment where there are many people different from each other it is right to respect everyone's freedom..Maybe set it lower...In any case your service is generally excellent..Thank you for this service

It is a point of reference for Messina residents and commuters who cross the strait every day, you can taste excellent rustic dishes (I was particularly struck by the arancini) and you can have lunch or dinner at modest prices at the self-service restaurant. With the view of the strait and of the arriving or departing ships.

Good food but I found several hairs or eyelashes on the plate and in the food. I only have photos of two hairs but I found at least two more in the little goatee. In the photos you can see a hair on the plate and one on the potatoes. Otherwise friendly staff.

Passable but good if you are traveling as a place to eat

good place because it is close to the ferry but there is no table service the bathrooms have terrible hygiene and the place is also very dirty I repeat it is worth it just for the proximity to the port the arancini ragù ok very good but pistachio doesn't taste like pistachio babà inedible I don't recommend at all it said the pizza menu and they tell me it wasn't there I have no words...

Bar located in Messina adjacent to the ferry terminal that connects Messina to Villa Dan Giovanni. The place is well stocked with every typical Sicilian delicacy, I tried their arancine, exceptional as well as the courtesy of the staff at the bar counter, everything was very good except for the cleanliness of the external tables which leaves a little to be desired. However, if you have to judge the service and the products they sell, I can only review it positively, recommending takeaway.

We went to Messina last year for the concert at the San Filippo stadium, we found this place near the boarding point, it's nice and large, quite crowded, self-service with a lot of variety of Sicilian cuisine products, rotisserie, fish, pasta and desserts, we opted for for light food but excellent flavor... recommended!
