I migliori ristoranti di cucina cucina siciliana in Messina

21/12/2025: Excellent seafood dinner in Giardini Naxos. Family-style cooking, quality ingredients, and exquisite dishes. The raw seafood is incredibly fresh, and both the swordfish caponata and the scampi linguine are excellent. And to finish, a delicious dessert and a nice rye. The place is small but cozy (reservations are recommended), and the staff is kind and friendly. Nothing like the tourist-trapping restaurants in Naxos! Highly recommended, we'll be back!

10/12/2025: Excellent food, well-cooked. Absolutely top-quality ingredients, innovation, and good ideas without distorting traditional dishes. Excellent service and a truly warm and welcoming atmosphere. The rosé wine served by the glass was, in my opinion, terrible, both overall and for the price. It's a shame because the wine list is very interesting and there are better wines to choose from. Still, a well-deserved five stars!

06/01/2026: The food was average, too expensive, and the first courses were poorly prepared. There was a long wait between courses. The prices were high for nothing.

01/01/2026: A very pleasant experience on the first day of this new year, the dishes were exceptional, both the fish and meat menus, presented impeccably, beautiful to look at and sensational to the palate, excellent and refined service, perfect atmosphere, we also enjoyed a beautiful view, I highly recommend this restaurant.

12/01/2026: This restaurant offers interesting, different dishes from the usual Nebrodi tradition. The location is spacious, and the staff is welcoming and professional. The only drawback, which unfortunately weighs heavily, is the price-quality ratio compared to other places in the area. For the quantity and quality of what we ate and drank, €50 per person is, in our opinion, a bit high compared to the €30-35 you'll find at other places. Recommended if you want to try different dishes, but not for Nebrodi specialties.

04/01/2026: A warm, homely inn, with a host who welcomes and assists us like a caring host. A menu expertly concealed, neither in writing nor via a QR code, immerses us in a continuous discovery of appetizers, amidst the warm colors of each local vegetable and the intense flavors of each aromatic herb that fills the air. Next comes the heart of the Nebrodi mountains, on a bed of green lamb's lettuce and sweet cherry tomatoes, followed by tender slices of black pork. Topping it all off is the freshness of a blancmange tart embellished with cinnamon and caramel. Key words: tradition, balance, delicacy, and refinement. Everything perfectly in line with the expectations of the imperative that greets us on the steps at the entrance: "Acta non verba." See you next time!

13/11/2025: I was there for the first time in 2019 for Ferragosto, I returned this year on a Sunday in November and found the same atmosphere, quality, kindness, and professionalism as six years ago. Always a pleasure to return.

18/11/2025: Great historic trattoria, unpretentious location, top-notch hospitality from the great Ugo, extraordinary dishes, full of flavor and passion.

30/10/2025: Our family stayed at the hotel for the last weekend in October: -Room: renovated, small, but with ample storage space; narrow beds; balcony with a partial lake view; clean bathroom -Staff: friendly and helpful -Location: directly on the lake, a 5-minute walk to the center of Bardolino, parking directly in front of the hotel -Breakfast: delicious and a very good selection (fresh fruit, cheese and cold cuts, pastries, freshly squeezed juice, etc.) - even on the last day the hotel was open

22/10/2025: Nice hotel close to the center. Only about a 5-minute walk to the pedestrian zone. Unfortunately, we couldn't use the pool because it was already too cold (October). There's usually plenty of parking nearby. Breakfast is also okay and plentiful.

08/01/2026: I went to this restaurant with my family, and I can't complain, since everything was delicious and in large quantities. The main problem was both the staff and the timing of the food. When we booked, we had requested a table inside near the air conditioning, but we were placed outside with our backs to the sun, which was unpleasant in the midday heat of July. At one point, I asked for the "shutter" behind me to be lowered; the very kind staff told me it would be closed shortly. I waited half an hour and then closed it myself, as the heat was unbearable. Once it was closed, I went in and complained about the request not being heeded, and received an apology. We then ordered, and the meal arrived at 2:30 PM (we had arrived at 1 PM). I requested three bottles of water, which arrived after a 20-minute wait. The decor leaves much to be desired, not to mention the sweltering heat in that place. I rated it average only for the staff and the timing. I really liked the view from outside the restaurant, however.

08/01/2026: My photos speak for themselves 🥰

07/01/2026: Not the experience I expected. Quite unwelcoming waitress. Thought she was mad at something. Tasteless Bread. Caponata was okay, but Spaghetti with Bluefin Tuna Caviar smelled really fish, felt it's from rotten fish. Cod with mashed potatoes were just plain, mediocre at best. When I asked about a few other menu like cuttlefish salad, she simply said it's a summer menu. In January, thir menu indeed are quite limited. The worst experience I had in Sicily

06/01/2026: Delicious food, but you won't find typical Italian favorites here. Original dishes prepared with local ingredients.

19/01/2026: Wonderful experience. Service and food were top-notch. A welcoming place for those who want to escape tourist spots.

12/01/2026: Excellent lunch. Prices are a bit high, but justified by the attention to detail and the staff's expertise. We were looked after by a super-friendly woman. The music was perfect. The location isn't the best for Taormina, but it's worth it. The only thing I would have avoided was the presence of someone I believe to be the owner, who not-so-gently "works" from a table away, taking orders, talking on the phone, etc.
