Watch the campanile till the noon hour with its animatronic show of lions roaring, roosters crowing, and priests bowing. Then step over to one of the top places for pizza in all of Italy. Best and most Sicilian is the Pizza Disgraziata, which our server Marco highly recommended to us, and which New Orleans knows from Sicilian immigrant Salvatore Lupo as the Muffaletta sandwich of Central Grocery. But the pagnotta bread in Messina is the best we’ve ever had, superior I must confess to that used by its New Orleans cousin. A glass of house red and you’ll be ready for the climb to Christo Re!

Everything is very well organized, from the service to the presentation of the dishes. The pizza I ordered was really good, with a thin, crispy crust, and the ingredients were fresh. I found the prices fair for the quality offered. The restaurant is also very well located and has a modern yet welcoming style. Ideal for a quiet, stress-free meal in the city center. Without a doubt, a place I would return to without hesitation.

I ordered a pizza and it was delicious, with perfectly cooked dough and fresh ingredients. You can tell they make it with care and use quality ingredients. The service was very pleasant, the staff friendly and punctual, always with a positive attitude. The atmosphere is welcoming, with a simple yet pleasant style, ideal for a quiet dinner. I found the prices reasonable for the quality. Overall, it was a very positive experience. It's definitely a place I'll return to try other dishes.

We dined here during a cruise stop for a leisurely lunch… as in three hours! Shout out to Elio for the great service! He never rushed us, even kindly letting us stay when the restaurant closed for a few hours. (We didn’t realize.) You must order the local fried cheese with honey; it is simply delicious! The pizzas were equally tasty and we all enjoyed trying the different crusts.

Soft and crispy at the same time, using only quality ingredients. The best way to enjoy a pizza in the city center, with the spectacular bell tower of Messina Cathedral and its immense square in the background. Highly recommended.
Greetings to the owners.

The location is great, the food is great, the service was a little slow. We asked twice for an ashtray, twice for a beer. But overall very nice.
