26/09/2025: Excellent fish-based first and second courses, friendly and professional staff, and reasonable prices.

23/09/2025: We had two excellent pizzas. Other locals seem to have dinner here as well and the waitress was one of the nicest and efficient we had so far :)

10/10/2025: A simple but beautiful location, with a large, well-kept lawn, an indoor building (where the bathroom is located), and an underground mushroom farm that can be set up.

20/09/2025: This venue is simply stunning! The caves are an incredible natural spectacle, and the service was impeccable. We celebrated our son's 18th birthday here, and Cristiana was truly professional and attentive to our every need. She created a magical atmosphere and made our event even more special. Her attention to detail and her ability to understand our emotions made everything even more perfect. Large, welcoming spaces made the party as dynamic as we wanted: from the aperitif in the marquee to the buffet in the garden, and finally the disco in the caves! I highly recommend this venue to anyone looking for a unique and memorable place to celebrate an important event, because it truly is one of a kind!

04/10/2025: Lovely and clean location Excellent coffee

29/09/2025: I've been there several times for lunch and it's always been excellent, with delicious dishes and exceptional raw seafood! Excellent food from appetizer to dessert.

25/09/2025: This place is a remarkable blend of fresh, authentic Sicilian cuisine and a lively atmosphere, brought to life by the owners, whose warmth and cheerful attention make every guest feel at ease. The food recommendations were outstanding, the wine superb, and the stories and genuine hospitality unforgettable. Congratulations to the team—I cannot wait to return! The Patti area itself is enchanting, well worth exploring for those eager to discover the island in depth.

16/09/2025: The food is very good, with classic yet innovative recipes. Excellent quality, welcoming atmosphere. Top.

04/09/2025: L'Officina di Mare is a centrally located and elegant place. The decor is minimalist but with commendable attention to detail. The food always lives up to expectations, with the fish always fresh and the starters and appetizers delicious. Mario is an excellent host, and the owners are also lovely people. A must-try when in Lipari.

29/08/2025: A memorable Aeolian holiday, and the grand finale was returning to this restaurant. We had a wonderful time, starting with the welcome from Mr. Mario, who advised us on the menu choices and pampered us with a Sicilian cannolo to die for. The crudités are exceptional in terms of freshness and quality. The attention to quality is evident in the olive oil they provide. A modern and refined location. The waitresses were kind and professional; thanks to Manuel for the wine selection.

11/08/2025: Beautiful highly recommended nice in everything.

01/08/2025: Our family stay at this agriturismo was pure magic. The tranquility, the stunning views of the mountains and Mount Etna, the pool, and all the activities for the kids were simply perfect. But the real highlight was the hospitality of Filippo and Rita and their incredible food. The homemade Sicilian dishes they served us every night, with fresh vegetables from their garden, were hands down the best we've ever tasted. Our kids even asked why we couldn't spend all vacations here!

18/07/2025: Delicious granita with cream and brioche!

08/06/2025: Divine food Friendly and kind staff Highly recommend

03/06/2025: Excellent Sicilian food. Not the fastest service and no internal view, but a characteristic place

19/10/2025: Today I bought some small pastries. I'm very sorry to admit that the quality was very poor. They were hard, and the cream was sour. It's unfair to sell old products, on the verge of expiration. I'm deeply disappointed.

14/10/2025: Friendly welcome. A few pizza-type dishes to heat up. Terrace on a quiet street.

25/08/2025: I stumbled upon this place by chance and it was one of the best ice creams I've ever tasted.

13/08/2025: While traveling around Sicily, we happily stumbled upon this amazing bar, ice cream shop, and pastry shop!!! A charming and welcoming location, superb granitas, a wide variety of quality pastries...and last but not least, the friendly and helpful staff. If you're ever in the area, it would be a shame not to visit. Highly recommended!!!

28/09/2025: Beware of tourist rip-offs! We were charged €9.00 for two regular granites. Aside from the fact that the price is already higher than at other bars in town, we were also charged a €1.50 service charge (according to the owner: "because they brought the granites to our table.") Absolutely outrageous and a rip-off. Such a charge is normally only charged by restaurants for table service when dining. We haven't experienced anything like this at any other bar in Sicily. We won't be visiting this bar again.

15/09/2025: TOP service! Delicious food and a pleasant atmosphere.

08/10/2025: Great place, food and service, as well as the amazing location, I absolutely recommend it!

08/10/2025: I recently visited Pizzeria di Antenati in Messina, and I must say it was a truly perfect experience in every way! We ordered both gluten-free pizza and a gluten-free appetizer, and I was pleasantly surprised by the quality of the ingredients and the care with which everything was prepared. The ingredients are fresh, the pizzas light and tasty, and the attention to detail is evident in every dish. The staff is truly a strong point: courteous, helpful, and above all, attentive to customer needs, including those with food intolerances. It's rare to find such attentive and professional service! Another very positive note is the restrooms, impeccably clean and fragrant, a sign of careful and respectful customer service.

21/09/2025: "Unfortunately, I had a terrible experience today. I've always spoken highly of this ice cream shop and even brought my relatives, convinced of the quality it once had. Instead, the ice cream was terrible and made all four of us feel sick. I was very disappointed, especially because I wanted to make a good impression on my brother and uncles. I made a terrible impression, and right now I can only say I'm deeply disappointed. I will never return. On top of all that, after we had four ice creams, they even differentiated the amount of cream in the smallest cone. This is not the right way to show customer service."

21/09/2025: We had four cones of terrible hazelnut and gianduja ice cream. They taste the same. The chocolate left our teeth and lips black. It took 10 minutes to remove the stains, and that doesn't mean it's of high quality. Afterward, we had stomach cramps and heartburn. The cream was ivory, not milky white, and melted to the point of falling out. The ice cream isn't fresh; the cone wafers aren't crispy. It left our mouths sour.
