I migliori ristoranti di cucina italiana in Messina

26/11/2025: Excellent restaurant, excellent seafood, and very friendly staff. My wife and I arrived without a reservation, but luckily there was room. We ate deliciously overlooking the harbor. Recommended.

09/10/2025: Review: Ristorante Panzakina Our group of five enjoyed a fabulous lunch at Ristorante Panzakina. The spaghetti cacio e pepe was perfectly balanced — creamy, peppery, and full of flavour — while the l’insalata di mare was fresh, vibrant, and beautifully seasoned. The rosato was sublime, pairing effortlessly with both dishes. Service was polished yet relaxed, with staff attentive without being intrusive. The atmosphere captured effortless coastal charm, enhanced by lovely views over the boat harbour. It’s the kind of place where great food, wine, and scenery come together in perfect harmony — a true highlight of seaside dining in Sicily.

09/10/2025: Very good, inexpensive, very friendly

07/09/2025: Very welcoming. The owner made us sandwiches with fresh, quality ingredients. Delicious!

30/10/2025: A beautiful and welcoming restaurant with a stunning view of the village of Tripi. I've had the pleasure of dining here on several occasions throughout the year, and I've always had a wonderful experience: the food is consistently excellent, prepared with fresh, seasonal ingredients, the portions are generous, and the staff is friendly, professional, and helpful. You can also purchase traditional local honeys, along with homemade preserves and pâtés made by the restaurant owners—all truly delicious. Highly recommended for those who want to eat well without spending a lot in a quiet, charming place far from the hustle and bustle of the city.

20/10/2025: Excellent lunch with quality and kindness

20/10/2025: A wonderful lunch and excellent service! Highly recommend! The gluten free pasta was perfect. 👌

20/10/2025: This restaurant offers an oasis away from the crowds with a wonderful garden view and lots of fresh air. The seafood menu, along with the pasta and great service are a real winner.

26/11/2025: Good ricotta conoli and friendly service, good prices

15/11/2025: A very beautiful place,with excellent sweets and coffee. Good service and very good prices.

11/11/2025: An old-fashioned trattoria with good raw materials cooked traditionally.

02/10/2025: This is a wonderful trattoria started in 1972 and has remained in the family since. As others have mentioned it is justly famous for its made in house maccheroni, and I would add that the assortment of antipasti are incredible. Well worth a visit - the views are also spectacular.

06/12/2025: A sweet and kind saleswoman and delicious arancini.

25/10/2025: Very good calm location, and cafe actually works like it is written! The food was very good and the prices are surprisingly good:) Staff is very friendly too

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

03/12/2025: Excellent stockfish (the Trattoria specializes in stockfish), cooked in a truly traditional, home-style manner, offering excellent value. A true trattoria, as it was once meant to be.

29/11/2025: Everything was good despite the rude service.

27/08/2025: Very good chicken, kind sales assistants.

01/08/2025: When I return to Milazzo on holiday it's a regular stop...TOP professionalism

24/10/2025: We’ve been staying in Letojanni for about a week, and this is by far the best restaurant we’ve tried here. I only wish we had discovered it sooner.

14/10/2025: Unfortunately, I don't recommend it. The food was below average in terms of quality and taste, and the service also left a lot to be desired. Long waits to be served. Very touristy and not authentic Sicilian. If you have a car, it's better to drive a few kilometers and eat in smaller outlying towns where the locals would also go. The food is so much better there, and the value for money is unbeatable.

09/11/2025: Welcoming restaurant, excellent menu, and delicious food. The owners are welcoming and professional. I recommend.

06/09/2025: Congratulations, a pleasant surprise for both the location and the food. TOP dishes, TOP meat, professionalism, and friendliness. 10++++++

04/10/2025: Great place, but above all, the food is soooo good. Thanks for your time.

26/09/2025: It's worth coming for the entire range of fish "antipasto" appetizers. Served in small portions, one after another, on multiple plates :) Delicious and fresh, tried many times and always delicious. Spaghetti with seafood... mmmm :) I RECOMMEND P.S. An original and special post. Vero Siciliano. ❤️

15/10/2025: Small place (max 45 people), but that's okay. Scaletta Zanclea is a small town on the Messina/Catania coast, run by a husband and wife team. Egidia works as a waitress, and Mario is the excellent pizza chef. The pizzas are varied, the dough is very good and easy to digest, and the price is reasonable. If you're passing through Scaletta Zanclea, take advantage of it. It's definitely worth the effort. 😉

02/10/2025: Excellent experience, very good and easy-to-digest pizza. Friendly and welcoming staff. Will definitely return...nice place, a bit small.

02/11/2025: Excellent place. Always fresh products.

14/09/2025: Yes, okay, a nice place with attentive staff. A good effort isn't really a good job. The pizza was okay (but not really more than that). My fish arrived when my husband had finished his pizza (which wasn't prepared in a flash, since most of the guests here seem to only eat pizza): a "local" fish (forgot the name), grilled, for a whopping €31.50 (!!!) for 450g – about 150 meters from the sea or the harbor. But it was prepared with absolutely insignificant flavor and without any refinement (spices, herb/garlic butter, etc.), not a separate plate for the bones! Along with a few thin slices of run-of-the-mill white bread, and for another €7, a small plate with a handful of thin slices of eggplant and zucchini (I'd completely skipped the tomatoes). Salt, pepper, and oil were only available upon request, and toward the end, the staff (several times!) took your plates from the table while you were still holding your cutlery and chewing, regardless of whether you might have wanted to eat the remaining bread with olive oil, for example. Friends of Italian cuisine: I can get a meal like this in the middle of Germany, in Munich, hundreds of kilometers from the nearest sea, much tastier, more lovingly prepared, and even cheaper – that's simply unheard of! Completely overpriced and overrated.
