Zio Billy In Messina

Excellent focaccia from the historic Zio, quick service, friendly atmosphere, fair prices

The taste and smell of real Messina focaccia. Only flaw: focaccia a little too salty. For the rest everything is exceptional, the garden with a view, the friendliness and helpfulness of the staff, the cost, yes you understood correctly, there are still some places where you pay 15 euros per person to eat....

Really excellent Messina focaccia, good pizza, very friendly and professional staff.

Focaccia was not as usual ! dry and dough with a different flavor than usual.

We have been going there for 25 years. I am writing this review because I don't agree with some of the negative ones made by "dystopian" customers.... Of course, prices have adjusted over the years (to the cost of living). True, very rarely the focaccia may arrive a little over cooked, but it remains fantastic. Also try the cuisine, truly refined and tasty. Location surrounded by nature. And the homemade desserts... sublime. And then the courtesy of the service: everyone was very kind. Highly recommended.

The specialty? the Messina focaccia but you can taste much more, all equally good, they have recently renovated the interior making the place more welcoming, the real strong point remains the exterior, created among the gardens mostly of citrus fruits, it is pleasant and fresh in the sultry summer evenings.

Characteristic restaurant, located in the southern area of ​​the city, where you can appreciate the typical dishes of Messina

I really liked the traditional focaccia. I would say...flavors of the past!!

He's no longer the Uncle Billy of my memories. Evening with friends to eat Uncle Billy's focaccia like in the old days. Nice location outside with tables set under a garden of trees. Poor focaccia: thin, dry and hard dough... you could see it wasn't fresh. Not very tasty ingredients. Not a good focaccia for my personal tastes. On the other hand, we paid very little and all in all it makes up for the fact that the product was poor. Would I go back?... I don't think so... but if you want to eat without pretentions, for a Saturday evening of focaccia alone or with friends, paying little and in a nice place then I recommend it. 👍

Inside the place there are a lot of seats and the noise is unbearable
