I migliori ristoranti di cucina italiana in Messina

26/09/2025: What can I say? The food is truly delicious, wonderful dishes made with high-quality, carefully selected ingredients. Luca, the owner, clearly cooks with passion and love, and it shines through in his dishes. The price is truly fair for what you get, and I definitely recommend it!

08/09/2025: Tasty and hearty specialties at a reasonable price. Welcoming atmosphere and friendly service. Highly recommended.

24/09/2025: Looking for fresh, good fish, sourced locally with an Italian flair? Then you've come to the right place! Delicious food, a daily changing menu, and chilled wine. We dined here as a group of seven and received a warm welcome. Despite the language barrier, we were able to order everything ☀️

21/09/2025: Highly recommended for people who want to eat very well. It seems to be a family-run business, relatively well hidden in an industrial park. It initially seemed a bit deserted, as we were the only guests when we arrived on a Saturday evening. But this soon changed. We received a very friendly welcome and each ordered a platter of various grilled fish. Since we had also eaten fish dishes the day before at another restaurant (two places away, much more expensive), we now had a direct comparison. Result: The food tasted significantly better, with much more fish on the plate! When we got the bill, we were immediately delighted again. We felt the total price of €50 for two such substantial fish platters, one wine, and one beer was absolutely justified and fair. Especially since there was no extra charge for setting the table. (The day before, we had to pay €2.50 per person for a napkin and cutlery on the table.) The ambiance is neat and clean, and we were served royally in English and Italian, using appropriate hand signals. Many thanks to the owners!!! It was great!

12/09/2025: The best advertisement for this place is the reviews. It's a well-known fact that it's still a gas station bar and tobacconist, but the quality of the food and the helpfulness of the staff make all the difference. It's worth deviating from your itinerary and, why not, visiting on purpose.

10/09/2025: Incredible find! Don’t like the outside appearance of a gas station fool you. Best food we’ve had in Italy and Sicily!

25/09/2025: A nice surprise...everything was perfect

22/09/2025: Kind and delicious fried pizza, unforgettable thanks

30/06/2025: Sat outside, at the top of the stairs, overlooking the busy, main street below. Decorated with fairy lights amongst the trees, people often stopped to take a photo of the restaurant. Service was impeccable. We enjoyed chats with the owners and staff and the food…the food was delectable! Local ingredients, fresh, tasty, bellisimo! Worth every cent! (We made a reservation)

30/06/2025: We visited this restaurant in Taormina, which is set in a truly beautiful location. We had pizza and it was excellent, with fresh ingredients and well-balanced flavors.

16/09/2025: Truly incredibly delicious food. Very flavorful and exceptional. The pasta was excellent, and the panna cotta was a dream. I can definitely recommend it. The owner is very attentive and friendly.

04/09/2025: Excellent food and service I ordered Sea bass (fresh catch of the day) with baked radicchio Marinated watermelon for dessert (truly unique. Must try) Nero diavola (black devil's wine) with a delicate flavor that paired perfectly with the fish The bitter reset, a surprise worth trying. The owner was very kind and helpful.

12/07/2025: Sono stato per cena e l’esperienza è stata eccellente. Il cibo era molto buono, con pesce fresco e ben cucinato. Il personale è stato estremamente gentile, e in particolare il proprietario si è dimostrato davvero cordiale: ci ha consigliato con attenzione, aiutandoci a ordinare le giuste quantità senza esagerare. Un gesto raro e molto apprezzato. Anche i prezzi sono stati sorprendentemente bassi rispetto alla qualità offerta. Un ottimo rapporto qualità-prezzo. Tornerò sicuramente.

07/07/2025: Erano anni che avevamo deciso di non andare più a cenare in questo ristorante per la progressiva decadenza della qualità dei prodotti e della capacità di cucinare, purtroppo sperando che magari fosse migliorato abbiamo commesso l'errore di ritornarci. In pratica non hanno pesce fresco, solo surgelato che accompagnano con una salsa acidula che si ritrova quasi in tutti i piatti dagli spaghetti alla caponata di pesce e tutti gli antipasti come le cozze ripiene, sono dominate da questo sapore di pomodoro acido. gli involtini di pesce spada,senza pomodoro. erano secchi e poco saporiti ! Insomma una esperienza che potevamo benissimo evitare e che ha rovinato la serata. A fronte di un conto di 115 euro per 4 persone in pratica un antipasto e un piatto di portata a persona con un calice di vino e due bottigliette d'acqua!

26/09/2025: Had a wonderful dinner here! It was our favorite meal of the trip. Staff was super friendly

19/09/2025: Terrifying: the menu was very limited, which makes you think the dishes are specialty dishes. Well, considering the prices, you can understand that, but neither one nor the other. The food was simple and poor. The prices were abusive. In short, it was a disaster. €60/person, infamous.

07/09/2025: I asked for a pizza but that's not the right pizza either. In Italy, they can't make a pizza, God help me... a crust full of oil, some more arugula to fill the pizza, some tomatoes and that was about all. They say pizza

06/09/2025: Pleasant atmosphere, excellent dishes

06/10/2025: Great experience at this restaurant. Delicious pizza, excellently cooked fresh pasta. Friendly and always helpful staff. Very large restaurant, nice terrace.

05/10/2025: The perfect place for a casual dinner with friends or family! The pizza is delicious: soft, well-leavened, and easy to digest! The service is friendly and attentive. Nice wine selection.

24/09/2025: It's closed even though the hours say it's open. Please update the hours so as not to mislead people.

27/08/2025: Amazing experience! The staff went above and beyond to make us feel welcome, and the service was spot-on the whole night. The food was absolutely delicious—fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. The mussels were a 10/10, easily the best I’ve had. Can’t wait to come back!

21/08/2025: Efficient guys, up to the job, friendly and cordial in their manner.

01/08/2025: Discovered with maps! We really appreciated the value for money and their willingness to add sauces and vegetables to our sandwiches. Very appreciated and friendly!

05/10/2025: Wowowowowowow 😍 we found the place spontaneously and it was the perfect surprise, its gluten free friendly and the sandwiches were delicious and full of flavour 🩷 i highly recommend !! Especially the burger with buratta and the one with salmon ***But i have to say it was expensive maybe overpriced even, we ordered 2 sandwiches and two cokes and it was around 36€

04/10/2025: Excellent welcome, fresh and freshly cooked products, generous sandwiches, excellent place to enjoy a sandwich for lunch

03/09/2025: Opening hours don't match Google. The ambiance isn't inviting. The food, however, is very good!

01/09/2025: Everything was delicious and very fresh. The platter was just a bit pricey for what it contained. I wasn't crazy about the chicken meatballs. I recommend adding a little more. The only downside is that you have to order it yourself, with an army of waiters just standing there and watching you do nothing. Otherwise, they were kind and friendly.

16/07/2025: Simple but good pizza. A good place to eat as well.

14/07/2025: Made very welcome after a late arrival in Naxxos ( and the hotels restaurants were closed at 21.30hrs !! ) - excellent food throughout - great attentive and professional service - family run - definately worth a visit.
