I migliori ristoranti di cucina italiana in Messina

16/07/2025: Very kind service, amazing cannoli, thank you very much for the experience! Definitely will return🫶🏼

15/07/2025: The best cannoli I have ever had!!! The reviews speak for themselves. The man was very welcoming and told us about their Guinness world record which they achieved in 1999 for making creating the largest Sicilian dough ball. I got a traditional cannoli with a pistachio shell which I will forever dream about 😍 my partner got the hazelnut cream cannoli which he also loved.

06/07/2025: Very kind owner and staff, excellent sandwiches and very punctual home delivery service. Highly recommended

02/07/2025: We came across it “almost by chance”, thinking of going in for a sandwich, and we found ourselves in front of a much more inviting proposal: a platter of cold cuts and a mixed grill… with a tasty surprise: there was also mutton! 🐑 What we liked: • Typical quality and local products, which could be perceived in every bite. • Rich and generous platter, perfect for an appetizer to share. • Mixed grill, with a well-balanced mix of flavors and meats: not just pork! • The staff: young and friendly guys, with a service that makes you feel at home. Ultimately: an experience that goes beyond a simple “snack”, a tasty, authentic meal. The quality-price ratio is excellent and the atmosphere warmed by a smile makes everything more pleasant. 🔥 We liked it so much that… if we can, we will return very soon!

02/07/2025: Great location. Great food. Knowledgeable staff, constantly present. The owner, Mrs. Clelia, is very kind. I recommend it.

30/06/2025: It didn't convince me. Ranging from the palate to the quantity, quality, location, I didn't appreciate any particular strong points that would have made the difference. Acceptable.

03/07/2025: I recommend the Sicilian goulash soup and a glass of wine. Service 5+

03/07/2025: We had the pleasure of spending our first evening as a married couple in Castelmola, and by pure chance we came across this place. The owner, who was closing, didn't hesitate to welcome us when we looked out to ask if it was still possible to eat something. With great kindness he had us sit at the outside tables and served us some typical dishes, including delicious arancini seasoned with a tasty concoction prepared by him. What can I say... the food was exquisite, but even more exquisite was the meeting with the owner: a generous, simple and authentic person. A heartfelt thank you, because it is precisely these small, great experiences that remain forever in the memories.

06/07/2025: I took a takeaway pizza dello stretto, a gluten-free and lactose-free pizza. Kind and helpful staff. Top pizzas.

04/07/2025: Friendly staff, very good pizza.

18/06/2025: Delicious pastas like you've never tasted before. A small but quiet terrace where you can eat. Service is friendly and good.

16/06/2025: Delicious and authentic carbonara pasta and mixed salad with caramelized onions! Beautiful atmosphere and wonderful service! Thank you for having us!

08/07/2025: Found this place last minute on Google. Lovely place lovely beach restaurant was fantastic. Highly recommend.

08/07/2025: Everything was perfect, I recommend this beach club! Thanks to the welcoming staff :)

22/06/2025: Great place, great food, great service. Highly recommend.

12/06/2025: Amazing restaurant. Great value, terrific food, super nice staff and accommodating of food allergies. The location is also extremely pleasant.

16/07/2025: “Spaghetti al sugo di nero di seppia” is the best I ever tried as a half-Italian. Ocean views, cool air from the sea and easy service.

13/07/2025: There were three of us, I can't help but rave about it, the food was excellent, the mussels were well-prepared and in good quantity, the swordfish cutlet was different from other places, served with baked potatoes and sauces available, I would go back right away.

03/06/2025: Arriving at this place is like feeling at home, the environment is familiar as is the welcome, the staff is polite, patient and helpful... Added value is the little shop where Mrs. Luciana offers local products and especially her preparations jams syrups caponata.. We ate some appetizers that represent the territory, the pepper and aubergine rolls perhaps too small (aubergine and pepper) appear to be little present compared to the filling as well as the olives The fried stuffed egg is surprising, the cheeses and jams that accompany the fresh ricotta just warm are excellent... Quick but not very descriptive of what was brought to the table (I did not understand what a sweet and sour dish was, perhaps meat!?) The first courses were very generous and well thought out, but the risotto had a bitter taste (perhaps the hazelnuts were too toasted!?) The macaroni alla norma were good The busiate (they were not the pasta shape they were the twins....), full flavor, but no burrata (maybe finished....) and it was replaced by mozzarella, and it doesn't make the dish enveloping and blended like burrata can give... They manage to have many seats, maybe you can give up a few tables and be more excellent (they have all the potential) Quality and price appreciable right Coffee in a cup "hurray!" In many places they serve coffee on paper😆 I'll have to come back to taste the second courses...

28/05/2025: It's still one of my favorite places! Excellent food, attentive and kind staff. Promoted!

03/06/2025: The restaurant offers delicious food and well-crafted drinks, all set in a lovely location that’s great for a relaxed outing. The service was friendly and attentive, and the overall atmosphere was warm and inviting. However, the strong floral scent in the space was a bit overwhelming and clashed with the enjoyment of the food. Despite that, it was an overall pleasant experience and worth a visit.

30/05/2025: This is a perfect place to make a stop and have a beverage. Cannot tell about food since we only had coffee. However, the view and the ambiance is very nice.

20/06/2025: Delicious food and homemade wine. A friendly waiter took the order despite the late hour, just before the restaurant closed. It is worth reading the menu in Italian, more dishes than in English. If we are in Messina again, we will definitely come back here.

20/06/2025: Friendly, welcoming and helpful owners. Great food and quiet place. Highly recommended.

07/06/2025: Nowadays, finding a dish that surprises you and makes you discover totally new flavors is definitely not easy. For this I am grateful to the chef. For example, I think that the spaghettoni with anemones and sea urchins can only be tasted here and it is really worth it! And in any case, all the dishes are prepared with care and attention to the raw materials. Just to give an example, for each dish the oil with which it is prepared is mentioned!

01/06/2025: Excellent. I don’t have a lot to say but this: The service is exceptional, the chief comes to present you your dishes, and everyone is nice. When it comes to the food, it’s simply amazing. And for the place itself, it’s decorated with taste and the place is calm.

04/07/2025: Excellent service... exquisite food in a hidden spot... worth a visit!!! 👍🏼 The best in town if you want to avoid the typical tourist restaurants!! Thanks for the unbeatable service, Francesco!!

02/07/2025: Le Naumachie is one of the best places to eat in Taormina. Situated next to the remains of one of the most historic corners of Taormina (the Naumachia building), it is atmospheric and majestic. The restaurant’s chef offers his guests tasteful and stunning dishes, beautifully presented, equivalent to those of a Michelin * restaurant. In between each course, you are offered a (complimentary) amuse bouche, each one of them being a true state of the art! They have an excellent wine list, for every purse, starting from a fairly low price/bottle and raising up to thousands of euros/bottle, should you feel spendy 😊 (this is not to be considered as a drawback, though, since one can pick one of the value-for-money wines they offer at lower prices)! The restaurant has surely invested well and wise on their service, which was excellent -relaxed and friendly, as another client suggested- and always ready to discuss their menu options and offer analytical details about everything (including the site’s history 😊). The signora at the entrance (I believe the owner’s mother) invites you at the restaurant as if you were back home! We will surely enjoy another dinner at this fantastic restaurant, when we return to Taormina, and enjoy an even better bottle of wine (or even two), something that we weren’t able to do this time, since we had an almost 2-hour drive back to Siracusa and drinking and driving is not advisable! The price range below included a value-for-money bottle of wine, two starters and two main courses.

02/07/2025: Everything was super delicious, the best vibe in Taormina

02/07/2025: Delicious brioche and granita. Always very busy, long line, or prepare to stand in line or come early
