Merlino A In Oliveri

Excellent arancini... Too bad about the guy (with glasses) who serves at the counter with infinite rudeness.

At 10pm on August 11th he had nothing left to eat... that's not how a tour operator in Sicily should be... there's not much left to give you an idea...

Exceptional focaccia, congratulations

A little gem in the heart of Messina! This family-run rotisserie is a real find: although the interior is small, it offers comfortable outdoor tables where you can enjoy their specialties in peace. The variety of pinzas and focaccias is truly surprising: each piece is prepared with fresh, authentic ingredients, and you can taste all the love the family puts into their work. The staff is courteous and helpful, always ready to offer advice with a smile. A simple, authentic, and welcoming place, ideal for a tasty lunch break or a delicious snack. I will definitely return and recommend it to anyone who wants to experience home-made flavors, without frills, but made just right! Excellent value for money!

GENUINE PRODUCTS of excellent quality, KIND AND PROFESSIONAL staff. I was very satisfied, the products exceeded my expectations, I would definitely recommend it. I will be back. ALWAYS LIKE THIS, GUYS

Rosticceria Merlino is simply exceptional! Every visit is a delicious and satisfying culinary experience. The ingredients are always incredibly fresh and prepared with unparalleled skill. The chicken is succulent and perfectly crispy, the arancini are a masterpiece of flavor, and every specialty I've tried has left me wanting to return. The staff is always kind and welcoming, making the atmosphere even more pleasant. Merlino is definitely my go-to place for authentic traditional cuisine!

Entering this rotisserie is like visiting a friend's house: the welcome is always warm, with genuine smiles and a rare kindness. The staff is helpful, fast, and always eager to make you feel at ease, even during the busiest times. And then... the focaccia. Simply irresistible! Soft on the inside, fragrant on the outside, with a scent that captivates as soon as you enter. Whether stuffed, plain, or freshly baked, it's the place's true highlight—one of those things that keeps you coming back for just a bite. A place that combines customer service with the pleasure of good, authentic, and lovingly made food. My sincere compliments to the entire staff: you eat well here, but above all, you feel good.

I discovered this place by chance and I was thrilled! They offer a wide selection of hot food products, all prepared with fresh and quality ingredients. But the real star is the arancino: crunchy on the outside, with a creamy and tasty filling that melts in your mouth. A perfect balance between tradition and authentic taste. Friendly service, clean environment and honest prices. I will definitely be back!

When you think of Sicily you think of hospitality and good food, the kind without too many frills and authentic. As a lover of focaccia messinese, to be clear the one with anchovy, I can say that it is the best I have ever eaten. For vegetarians the norm is highly recommended...eating aubergines that are not as black as oil is now a utopia. Not to mention the galactic vegetable pitone. All this, which is already a lot, is surrounded by a welcoming and familiar environment. Compliments Merlino Rosticceria. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED
