When we first walked in the door, the old gentlemen (owner) was sitting behind the register…granted, he was half asleep and the place was busy. LOL. The grandson was our waiter and guided us well through the menu. We ordered authentic and WE GOT IT! Family owned, fresh with locals every. It was sooo good, paired with a wonderful local wine. I HIGHLY recommend this place…moreover, caprese salad, seafood ravioli and the swordfish!! YUMMY!

We went for lunch and had no complaints about the dishes we chose.
Both the portions and prices were good. The only downside is that some of the ingredients used were frozen (as noted on the menu).
The service definitely needs improvement; it's extremely slow and poorly prepared.

A charming place, excellent food and generous portions (especially for the starters), admirable service, and very attentive to intolerances. Once we requested gluten-free appetizers, they asked us if we had any intolerances or celiac disease, and they immediately brought us gluten-free bread, very accommodating with everything.
A truly beautiful place to eat, the fish and risotto are sublime. One of the best risottos I've ever eaten.
Highly recommended.

An excellent restaurant adjacent to Messina Cathedral. Both indoor and outdoor seating are available. The restaurant is air-conditioned. Reservations are recommended, especially in the summer when the city is crowded with tourists and cruise passengers. The dishes offered (both meat and fish) are delicious. The only drawback is that the ingredients on the menu are listed exclusively in English. The prices are reasonable.

During our summer vacation in Sicily this year, we finally managed to return to Messina.
Even though we stumbled upon it by chance, we were definitely not disappointed:
- Very good, authentic food
- Friendly and attentive service
- Excellent value for money
Thank you very much!
If we're ever in Messina again, we'll definitely be happy to return to Osteria del Campanile!

Tra tutti i locali visitati qui non ci è venuta voglia di tornare, non tanto per il pranzo: costi e cibo sono nella media, siamo rimasti abbastanza soddisfatti, l'arredamento è retrò, il ristorante molto comodo, in pieno centro; ciò che non ci è piaciuto è come il titolare tratta i dipendenti, tutti possono sbagliare e vanno giustamente ripresi e indirizzati, ma non a voce alta, in maniera più che sgarbata e volgare e davanti ai clienti, non si fa. Ci auguriamo che sia stato un episodio isolato, soprattutto per il rispetto che tutte le persone meritano, indipendentemente dai loro eventuali errori.

A varied menu, well-prepared traditional food, and friendly service. Prices reflect the offering. A place to return to.
