Trattoria del Lago In Messina

Compared to the average restaurant, Trattoria del Lago is a couple of steps above. The environment is simple, a little dated and not particularly well looked after. The service is also efficient, dedicated to substance and without too many frills. Having said that, since one goes to the restaurant to eat, let's see how the owners have disengaged. Mixed appetizers with fish with onions, baby pancakes, fish with salad, octopus, fish balls with sauce, stuffed mussels. All good. The choice of first courses is absolutely basic... too basic Spaghetti with clams, mussels or tomato... too little However the spaghetti with clams was good. We also tasted a portion of mixed fried shrimp and calamari... good. Finally a peppered mussel...this is also good. Water, wine and soft drinks. 43 euros per person... in my opinion a little too much for a decent but too limited menu, maximum profit with minimum investment. You pay a little more in much nicer restaurants, with better service and an extremely varied menu.

Excellent food, shame I paid €16 for two plates of penne with tomato sauce (overcooked, by the way). However, the price is excessive.

Excellent food, fresh, full of many courses, professional, friendly and approachable staff. The owner said U Baruni very easy going, and wise person of the sea. I highly recommend it. Top 100%.

Beautiful place, by the lake...clean place, with various dishes of excellent quality, from starters to finishing...delicious little things...it's like eating the little things that your grandmother prepares...traditional Messina dishes!!!.. Very kind staff!!!..What can I say???.. Must try!!!

It is a small and cozy restaurant. The cuisine is genuine! Everything delicious

Trattoria di antica tradizione dove gusti pesce fresco e genuino, cucinato secondo criteri della semplicità e delle ricette del luogo. Una goduria per il palato 😊
