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.

Good afternoon, I was there two days ago with my husband for lunch. The food was all delicious, from the stockfish salad to the stockfish fritters. To finish, the pasta alla ghiotta was super delicious. You rediscover the full flavor of the sea, everything was really good. We will definitely be back. The atmosphere is welcoming and the waiters are always courteous and ready to serve you.

An excellent trattoria where you can enjoy the famous stockfish "a ghiotta" (stocco) exclusively in Sicily. Stockfish is a specialty exclusive to Messina.
In other places in Sicily, people try to imitate it. But the true
stockfish "a ghiotta" can be eaten and savored exclusively at Trattoria Don Nino on Viale Europa in Messina.

In addition to their great friendliness and genuine customer service skills, the stockfish salad is absolutely delicious, incredibly fresh and well-seasoned with supreme-quality extra virgin olive oil. The qualified staff is ready to cater to any need.
The ideal place for those who want to rediscover the ancient flavors of Sicily, combining tradition and exceptional quality.
Despite this, the prices are incredibly reasonable, with no cover charge or similar gimmicks like those found in many commercial establishments these days.

Oh my, what a wonderful meal I had the pleasure of enjoying. Let's start with the friendly waiter, with his typical Sicilian appearance and physiognomy. Then I ordered 2 Norma and a pasta with tomato sauce for my two children. The photo shows the splendid and delicious Pasta alla Norma. PLENTY TO SAY THE LEAST.
EXCELLENT. THEN I MOVED ON TO A BEAUTIFUL AND DELICIOUS SWORDFISH SKEWER. EXCEPTIONAL. I ALSO HAD MY CHILDREN FOOD AN EXCELLENT VEAL SKEWER. TENDER AND FLAVORFUL. 62 PIECES IN ALL, INCLUDING WATER AND COVER CHARGE. COMPLIMENTS.

We decided to have lunch at Trattoria Don Nino, drawn by the aromas that waft along the street every day. It was a delightful discovery. At the end of lunch, we reflected on how it had been a long time since we'd eaten so well. Authentic flavors, friendly staff, and a location that pleasantly transports you back in time. It's definitely a goodbye!
