I migliori ristoranti di cucina cucina siciliana in Messina

22/03/2025: My visit to La Macina was an absolute highlight! From the moment you enter the restaurant, you sense the authentic Sicilian ambiance – warm, inviting, and designed with great attention to detail. The staff was exceptionally friendly and attentive. You immediately feel welcome and well looked after. About the food: I tried various antipasti, which were superbly seasoned and perfectly presented – a real treat! The steak was cooked to perfection, juicy, and of the highest quality. It was accompanied by an excellent red wine that perfectly complemented the food. Even the bread was exceptionally good – fresh, crispy, and full of flavor. An all-around perfect evening! If you're looking for authentic Sicilian cuisine with excellent service and a beautiful ambiance, you shouldn't miss La Macina. I'll definitely be back!

18/03/2025: Characteristic place, excellent food with natural products different from all the others, the owner always very kind and helpful 😍👍😋

30/01/2025: We went to Trattoria La Carruba to celebrate my parents' 50th wedding anniversary. Kind and professional staff, exquisite food, cooked fresh and with non-obvious combinations, refined plating. Contemporary but not cold furnishings. Mr. Morgano - the owner - is a kind, helpful and attentive person to the customer's needs. Excellent value for money. We will definitely return for a more casual dinner or lunch.

12/01/2025: It's always a pleasure to meet up to eat at La Carruba! Excellent cuisine with typical Nebrodi dishes, expertly prepared, pleasant environment, quality, passion and kindness. The quality/price ratio is unmatched in the area. I would go there every day! I highly recommend it!

14/01/2025: A place full of penises 😂 good and reasonably priced food. Nice view from the terraces.

07/12/2024: We were here in August and wow - amazing views of Etna and the food was unbelievable too. An incredible experience!

28/03/2025: Simply stunning! Flavors of Sicily

27/03/2025: Small but very welcoming place, the smile from the staff never fails. Good service, good cellar and delicious dishes served, from starters to desserts. The price is in line, slightly above the norm for the wine. Overall it was a very pleasant experience

06/03/2025: We had two wonderful meals in this restaurant. The service was beyond excellent, the food was delicious and authentic. The restaurant feels warm and welcoming. We would recommend everyone to come here.

06/03/2025: Very good pasta. We ordered twice: pasta alla Norma and spaghetti allio ollio.

01/03/2025: Be careful, this is no longer a pizzeria... but a seafood restaurant. And in my opinion a little expensive... but hey. Tourist environment and beautiful walk along the bay with a view of Taormina

06/01/2025: Excellent fish dishes and attentive service. We ate there twice during our stay in Giardini Naxos and would love to come back.

10/02/2025: Sincere restaurant, friendly and easy-going owner, good food and fair prices. I recommend the albacore salad, a delicious appetizer! Fresh fish

30/01/2025: I highly recommend it to everyone I know, tasty and plentiful food, affordable prices, excellent quality/price ratio. I have been several times and have always eaten very well, a flagship restaurant of our @bedda Messina

08/03/2025: Love this place. Everytime we visit the food keeps getting better & better. Menu changes according to what’s in season and the chef knows exactly how to use the freshness of what she has available. This time we went for the Angus Carpaccio followed by amazing pasta with a donkey meat ragu and another pasta with black pig and fresh fennel sauce (this was absolutely devine). As seconds, my wife opted for the veal with artichoke sauce while I had the red snapper in tomato sauce. As you can imagine, the sweets were insane, you can hardly go wrong in Sicily with sweets. Giovanni and Francesco made sure that everything went smoothly throughout our meal. What a gem of a restaurant. If in Savoca doing the Godfather Tour or just passing by, this place is highly recommended. We even had the honour of meeting the proprietor Antonello, a very friendly and interesting person.

09/01/2025: Unforgettable lunch on Christmas day

05/01/2025: Good carbonara and pistachio pesto

04/01/2025: Eccellente dal servizio impeccabile ai loro piatti molto curati. Proprio per quanto detto prima, per me non è una trattoria ma un Ristorante! Innanzitutto il proprietario è stato Gentilissimo, e non ha esitato un attimo, nel riportare indietro un piatto eseguito benissimo, ma per mio gusto personale non gradito, malgrado potevo essere più attento durante l'ordinazione del piatto e richiedere maggiori informazioni, visto i miei gusti personali. Ho avuto il piacere di degustare: -Insalata di carciofi marinati con gamberi; -Pasta con nero di seppie; chi era con me ha mangiato anche gli involtini di pesce spada, che sono stati graditissimi. Prezzo giusto.

23/02/2025: There were 4 of us who had a fish lunch in this restaurant and all that remains to be said is that it was superlative in every way

13/02/2025: The best restaurant in Forza d'Agrò...

23/03/2025: We decided to go to this restaurant, but we will never go there again. The quality of the fish is really low, the swordfish sausage had nothing fishy about it but was all crumbs, the caponata (which arrived significantly later than the starters, so much so that they brought it to us as soon as we already had the dishes to eat the first course) seemed more like a boiled vegetable soup, the gratin mussels seemed pre-cooked and then reheated. Then they gave us a plate in which we had to have both first and second courses, when as in every restaurant they change the dishes between the first and second courses. The pasta with swordfish and fennel was very salty, inedible. The second mixture of grilled fish, roasted squid, prawns etc. was definitely not fresh fish and you can immediately tell when the fish is fresh or if they have had it for several days. Even though it was a fixed menu, we sat down at 1pm but got up at 3.30pm due to the extremely slow service. In the end, at the time of the sweets and bitters, we had the glasses of the bitters, but we asked where the bitters were and they brought them to us after 15 minutes because in their words "they couldn't find the bottles". Surely the expectations were very different, we are people who tend to eat "even the tables" so for us to give such an opinion means that it is really serious, we will never return.

21/03/2025: Sooooo good starters.....plenty for two people....some courses are special...made with care and passion.... We chose appetizers and first courses on the owner's advice....after about 14/16 appetizers we moved on to the first courses.....but we weren't able to finish them.... Worth a try if you are in the area or if you go there specifically.....we will definitely be back.....

21/10/2024: Very good food, quick and pleasant service, beautiful view on the beach and sea.

21/10/2024: Had a wonderful dinner with Sicilian friends.

01/03/2025: Amazing! Some of the best food we’ve eaten in Sicily. DEFINITELY the best food we’ve eaten in Taormina. The fried mackerel was fresh, simple and delicious. The orange slices were perfect with it. Super generous portion. The nduja pasta was unreal! I could eat it every week! Sooooo flavourful and delicious! The pasta was so fresh and the perfect texture. And, it was SO nice to have some spice in Sicily. The lamb shank looked very simple, but it was soooo delicious! Sitting in a shallow but deeply flavoured, beautiful broth. Again - I could eat this weekly! The wine was excellent! Found 2 new favourite reds. It was busy, but service was 10/10. Everyone was super lovely, attentive and had great energy. The restaurant (split across two buildings) itself is adorable and in a lovely, intimate location. The outside seating area feels very cute and romantic. I think when we return we might try and eat here most nights! It was the only place we ate that didn’t feel as though flavours were tailored to basic European tourist palates. I PRAY the vanilla TikTok influencers don’t discover this one and turn it into a content spot. 100% recommend.

03/02/2025: On a rainy and winter evening we found a welcoming table, excellent food, refined and delicious wine (Sciare Vive Carricante), chat and the company (with sharing of the dishes that came out of the kitchen for them) of the wonderful owners. Unforgettable.

30/03/2025: Excellent location, clean and comfortable rooms! You can enjoy a beautiful view of the lake and also thanks to a very good chef I can say that you eat very well! I hope to return soon. Congratulations to everyone!

21/10/2024: Second stay at Hotel Nettuno and the first after the renovation. The renovation freshens up the look of the hotel while fitting the overall calm flair of the hotel. Some places (like the basement toilets or the garage) were left out and now don't fit into the more modern and clean style. Sadly the renovation also did not include the hotels/rooms heating, ventilation and air conditioning, which lead to (subjectively) uncomfortably high temperatures in the corridors and rooms, due to the fact that the AC was already switched to "winter mode" despite warmer temperatures, so it could only heat the room further but not cool it down. The only way to cool down my room was opening a window, which helped only a bit and was nearly constantly open over my stay. Room temperatures still were between 21°C and 24°C, which was way too warm for me (as already mentioned on check out). The new color scheme make the rooms brighter, which is an improvement compared to last year. All was clean and functioning, though the bathroom of my room (211) seemingly did not receive the same care during the renovation as the rest of the room (forgot to mention on check out). Noise sensible persons should pack some earplugs for slamming room doors, due to the automatic door closers (mentioned on check out as well) or not as soundproof walls as can be expected in newer hotels. The staff is super friendly and helpful. The food in the restaurant improved compared to last year and was very good! Breakfast buffet is also very good, but a vegan milk option (e.g. oat milk) is missing (though I did not ask for it to be honest). The location of the hotel is perfect for those who like to visit Bardolino (10-20min to the center, depending on ability) or walk on the promenade of Lake Garda. Bike storage is possible in the garage, though there is no separate secured room to put them in.
