Trattoria Don Nino In Messina

You couldn't ask for anything better.

Exceptional food, unique atmosphere. I've rarely found places like this in the area. I'll definitely be back.

We were there with our racing bikes and received a warm welcome and had a very good meal. The service was very friendly and explained everything to us, and most importantly, the food was the best part.

Perfect compliments to all professionals

A true Messina trattoria. Delicious, fresh, and high-quality food. There were two of us; we ordered the stockfish fritters as an appetizer. They were delicious. The frying was perfect, soft and not at all invasive or full of oil. For our first courses, we ordered spaghetti with squid ink and a half portion of spaccatelle alla ghiotta. What can I say? Large plates and perfectly cooked pasta. The squid ink was fresh, and the ghiotta sauce was exquisite. For our second course, we ordered stockfish in white sauce. A quintessential Messina dish. The quantity was wow! And the taste was just like your mom or grandma's. So you'll be super happy. The sauce was exquisite. The service was excellent. We never felt like a stranger. Sometimes in these trattorias, a non-regular customer is treated like just another guest. But at Nino's, we felt right at home. The staff was kind, polite, and open to any request without ever making us feel uncomfortable. The bill was perfect. As in other reviews, there's no cover charge. But there's no need, because this restaurant is customer-focused, not money-focused, and you'll notice it from the moment you walk in. Highly recommended, I'll definitely be back. (I don't have a photo; my phone battery was dead.)

A very high quality restaurant with its own unique and delicious recipes. A friendly environment and kind staff that makes us feel like we are getting food from home. It can be described as a very clean restaurant where you can get quality food at a reasonable price.

I was there before Christmas and everything was delicious, the stockfish in all its variations and preparations was superb!!!!! Mouth-watering. I recommend it.

I can finally find traditional and well-made dishes... tasty... served by qualified staff... kind and always ready.... Fair price.... I highly recommend it...

Excellent stockfish (the Trattoria specializes in stockfish), cooked in a truly traditional, home-style manner, offering excellent value. A true trattoria, as it was once meant to be.

Everything was good despite the rude service.
