I migliori ristoranti di cucina italiana in Messina

17/04/2026: Hands down the best cannoli in Sicily. Personally I’ve never seen the big deal about cannoli but this one converted me. Made fresh daily, shell perfectly crisp, ricotta light and not too sweet. The couple running it were also lovely. Highly recommend going out of your way for it, it’s worth it. We even bought two more to takeaway for the next day. The only surprise was €3 for an espresso in a paper cup, a bit steep.

16/04/2026: Literally the best Cannoli I ate on Sicily. I've tried 2 options - chocolate and the one with fresh strawberries - totally worth it. Ricotta and chocolate creme were do silky and tasteful. Great job!

06/05/2026: Fantastic pizza. Exactly what we were looking for - a local “hole in the wall“ that makes pizza in a wood fired oven. Just 4 guys who make great pizza!

05/05/2026: If you like standard Sicilian food served in large portions don’t go here! If you want something a bit different from the run of the mill restaurants, fantastic combinations of flavours and a fine dining experience you must go to this restaurant. The whole experience was wonderful, the service was superb, the presentation of the food a work of art. Can’t recommend it enough, the best restaurant I have been to in Taormina.

14/04/2026: Welcoming place, top-notch staff, helpful, friendly but above all a great place to spend carefree moments.

14/04/2026: Welcoming place, excellent food, qualified staff and kind, friendly owner who will satisfy you in everything!

06/05/2026: The restaurant is very well-kept and the atmosphere is truly exceptional. The staff is extremely polite and professional. My girlfriend and I were greeted with kindness and a beautiful smile, and we also appreciated the advice on both the dishes and the wines. The fish carpaccio was simply amazing... a perfectly crafted combination of flavors, and the spaghetti with seaweed, anemones, and sea urchins didn't taste like the sea... it was THE sea! More than a dinner, it was an authentic experience, and I highly recommend everyone stop by to try the dishes, which, blending tradition and innovation, are sure to amaze you. A 10 out of 10, we'll definitely be back. BRAVI BRAVI BRAVI 🙏🏻

21/04/2026: Excellent restaurant, the food is made with passion, the service is warm...everything is perfect...I really recommend this place.

15/04/2026: We found this place by chance while passing through Brolo. Everything was delicious, so much so that we went back the next day.

12/04/2026: High quality sandwiches 🔝maximum cleanliness and very kind staff 💪😊highly recommended..

21/03/2026: A charming and quaint place, attentive staff, and good food, all in the village of Milazzo... A welcoming and informal place. The only drawback is the parking, but you know, in certain places, that's quite obvious... But you can still park about 300 meters from the restaurant near the church of San Francesco da Paola. I'm not giving the food a 5⭐ just because I have to try other dishes first, but what we tasted was undoubtedly excellent quality. See you soon.

02/03/2026: Overall positive experience, quality ingredients, the only flaw was too much cream in the pistachio pesto.

07/05/2026: Everything was great. Food was delicious, the view is amazing and the hosts are very polite. The prices are much better than in most other places I have eaten nearby. Everything in the picture plus one dessert was 40€

05/05/2026: The best arancini, the best music, very kind owner! 🤩

17/03/2026: I recommend it, great breads, great cakes. I'm tempted to go back to Savoca for a while just for this bakery.

27/02/2026: A very nice place with a beautiful view and friendly service. The food is simple, but really tasty. A big plus for being open off-season. The owner is very nice and welcoming. Definitely worth a visit!

04/05/2026: Reserve a table on the balcony in advance

14/04/2026: Great atmosphere, small but cozy place with excellent service. The food is fantastic, with a wide variety of meats and dishes. Awesome!!!

01/04/2026: It was delicious; the small pizza was at least 26 cm in diameter. The dough was excellent, with a nice crust that wasn't dry. The tomato sauce really tasted like tomatoes. The hamburger was also very good; it came in a panini. Think of it like a doner kebab, except the bread was filled with the burger ingredients (patty, lettuce, cheese, tomato, ketchup, and mayo). The staff was also very friendly and attentive (they also speak English and French). It was a very pleasant evening.

14/02/2026: Excellent pizza; very friendly staff. Great value for money.

09/05/2026: Friendly staff as you enter the place you are enchanted by the explosion of Sicilianness, a truly nice, clean and well-kept environment. The sandwiches are exceptional, from the choice of bread with multiple options from the cereal sandwich to the black Venus rice with turmeric. The products from fish to shrimp and much more are top quality. I highly recommend it.. see you soon!!

05/05/2026: Wonderful and unique sandwiches - we got the shrimp and tuna panini and it was one of our favorite meals in Italy. The guys there were so sweet and the food was delicious. It was unique with fresh seafood, burrata and wonderful bread. We also got the limoncello spritz that was so great! Highly suggest as a stop if you’re in Messina, especially as a cruise guest.

22/02/2026: We got married in Lipari on October 4th. It was an intimate civil ceremony, with 25 guests in total. Following an excellent lunch and some excellent reviews, we chose Sangre Rojo restaurant for our celebration. Nunzia guided us through the lunch menu and table settings, respecting our desire for simplicity and suggesting what she felt would be appropriate, but also gently and firmly advising us against what she deemed unsuitable. The lunch went very well, and we won't waste time raving about the raw antipasti, the octopus and bean soup, the busiate pasta with anchovies and fennel, and the citrus-stuffed calamari, because they simply have to be tried (no more fuss). A special mention, however, goes to the panna cotta with freshly picked figs, which overcame the feeling of satiety in all (all!) of our guests. The view, with the Lipari coast stretching into the blue sea, did the rest. A huge thank you to Nunzia, her family, and all the staff for their kindness and professionalism! Highly recommended! Giulia and Gabriele p.S. If we have a second wedding, we'll definitely be back! :D

30/01/2026: I've been to dinner several times, accompanying guests from the boat I worked on... the restaurant is worth it in every way... the view, the welcome, the professional, attentive, and friendly service... the carefully prepared dishes of an innovative cuisine that still maintains Aeolian and Sicilian traditions... the well-stocked wine cellar. You can also start the evening by booking an aperitif while admiring a spectacular sunset. The guests were enthusiastic and satisfied. We warmly thank all the staff who made our evenings relaxing and, above all, cheerful, always capable of providing a smile. PS: Book in advance... it's a very popular place.
