Sfizi Fritti e Poi... In Messina

What can I say? It's the best! A view of the Strait, delicious food, and the owners and staff are incredibly kind and friendly. Don't miss the squid ink arancini with Mazara del Vallo prawns! Highly recommended.

It was late, the restaurants in the area weren't cooking for lunch anymore, there were two of us, and we stopped feeling discouraged—a Sunday without a reservation is impossible—but instead they welcomed us warmly, and we ate, satisfied. Well...all in all, we were lucky...would I recommend it? 😁😉 Absolutely, and enjoy your meal!

It's not just a restaurant, it's one of those places that stays with you. I come here often and every time I feel at home. The food is something special: you can truly taste the love in every dish, from the flavors to the pairings; everything is made with a care that is rare these days. Every time I bring someone here, I always make a great impression. But the best thing isn't just the good food... it's the atmosphere: you relax, you feel good, you enjoy the moment. The staff is fantastic, always smiling and genuine, they make you feel truly welcomed, not just like a mere customer. It's one of those places I wholeheartedly recommend, without a second thought. If you're looking for a place to eat well but also feel good, this is the place, and Tiziana and Peppe are fantastic people.

It's one of those special places you always want to return to, because it makes you feel at home every time. The stunning seaside location makes the atmosphere even more charming and relaxing, perfect for enjoying pleasant moments in complete tranquility. The staff is kind, attentive, and always available, but the real highlight is the excellent food: carefully crafted, flavorful dishes, prepared with evident passion. Every visit is a confirmation, never a disappointment. It's become our go-to for a special dinner or simply to treat ourselves to something delicious while overlooking the sea. Highly recommended for those looking not just for a good restaurant, but a place where they can truly feel at home.

A fantastic experience. Excellent food prepared with the simplicity of times gone by. Signora Filippa is the queen of the kitchen and shows all her love for her work and her restaurant. Nestled in a corner of paradise, you can enjoy the cuisine of times gone by, with almost forgotten flavors and aromas. An experience that caresses the soul, heart, and taste buds. You can also enjoy interesting wines.

Well, the place is very nice, almost on the beach, with a beautiful view of the Strait; the service was very friendly, especially the girl serving tables who seemed very professional and attentive; the arancini with black rice and fish are exceptional, definitely worth trying, even if they're a bit pricey in my opinion (€7); the pasta was very well made and beautifully presented; the fish caponata was also a pleasant surprise; I wasn't sold on the octopus salad (it was a bit tough in my opinion), the fish rolls, which arrived cold, and the grilled swordfish, whose cooking wasn't my cup of tea (but maybe that's a personal preference; it also arrived a bit cold). What I didn't completely enjoy were the panna cotta (which I had to chew, which I found strange), and the homemade tiramisu. Overall, I thought the price was a bit high given the satisfaction I received from the food. However, I plan to return another time to see if it's a worthwhile place or one to avoid. However, I had the impression that the restaurant aims to offer something original and potentially very good.
