I migliori ristoranti di cucina italiana in Messina

08/03/2026: I've been there several times. The pizzas are excellent and unique...excellent quality. Quick and efficient service.

26/01/2026: We're used to pizzas with thick crusts, the ones that look beautiful but are full of chemicals. Here you have the opportunity to eat healthily—a concept that hasn't yet been fully applied to pizza. Many people probably don't even understand what they're eating. Pizza is a masterpiece. Both delicious and healthy. Many compliments, truly. Pump up the marketing! Tell people what they're eating! Educate them! You're creating a revolution! Well done, well done, well done!

03/08/2026: A stay with top marks. We'll definitely be back. We stayed at the Agriturismo "Agri Hotel Da Marianna" and were truly won over. As soon as you enter the apartment, you immediately breathe in the fresh, fragrant air: it's the first thing you notice and makes you feel instantly at home. The cleanliness is meticulous in every detail, and the room is tastefully and carefully furnished. You can tell they care. The owner, Luciano, and his brother are available, attentive, super welcoming, and ready to satisfy your every need. Every morning, they recommended excursions or beautiful places to visit, providing us with all the information we needed. A rare kindness. The breakfast was varied and plentiful, but the special touch was that every morning there was a different cake and pancake with homemade jam. A delight! The food is excellent, but special praise goes to Tomas, who takes care of the roast: he has a real talent and a unique taste. The staff are also young but incredibly friendly and ready to answer any questions with a smile. The location is strategic: perfect for those who want to relax, visit Sicily's most beautiful villages, go on excursions, and, if you want, even get to the sea in a short distance. Highly recommended! An authentic, thoughtful, and warm experience.

03/08/2026: It was a great experience, definitely worth repeating...the waiter who served us was excellent and friendly...the food was good

03/01/2026: Last night, because I'm writing this at 2:00 AM, I visited this restaurant with my girls. Obviously, I thought for a moment so as not to write a hasty review motivated only by my disappointment. We sat at seat 14 and ordered a few items. The only appetizer, potatoes with cheese and speck, were delivered without the last two ingredients, so they were remedied by bringing back the same dish rearranged with the two missing ingredients. I didn't think it was nice, but in the end, they were potatoes! What justified my review, however, was the plate of gratinated mussels, ordered by my daughter. The dish contained twenty miscounted mussels, one of which emitted a nauseating stench. I don't want to lecture anyone, but if my daughter didn't have that questionable habit of smelling food, maybe I'd be writing this review from the emergency room and not from my room.

02/01/2026: Unforgettable New Year's Eve! Good food and good music! Great value! Friendly staff!

19/05/2026: Excellent service Delicate and plentiful food Friendly staff At the end of the evening, the staff unexpectedly gave me a lovely surprise for my birthday. Thank you for a wonderful evening!!!

19/05/2026: A lovely hotel with truly very friendly staff. When I read the other reviews, I thought they couldn't possibly be that nice. But they are.

29/07/2026: The quality of the food and service was excellent. Among the dishes on the menu, I would recommend the prawns and spaghetti with bottarga and ricotta mousse, truly exceptional. The atmosphere was truly unique. Of the restaurants where we dined during our stay in Panarea, I would consider this place the best for its atmosphere and good food. Highly recommended!!!!!

19/07/2026: The most delicious tomato and aubergine pasta!

18/05/2026: 83 euros 1 bottle of water 3 appetizers and 2 muffins coffee offered too expensive appetizers in smaller quantities than in the past.

12/05/2026: Fantastic food, delicious black pork, friendly staff. Fair prices.

11/07/2026: We ate at this restaurant a few weeks ago because it's right down the street, and since it's a trattoria, the food is usually good. My partner and I chose the outdoor area, which wasn't very well-maintained and had mosquitoes. The food was bland, the wine wasn't great, the raw fish was flavorless, and the soup was way too much for one person, and it's obviously expensive. It was a disappointment, especially since the sign on the street shows photos of the dishes that bear no resemblance to the real thing.

05/07/2026: This is, without exaggeration, the worst place in Taormina. If I could give it 0 stars, I would. We arrived around 8:30 PM, and there was only one other table occupied. You'd think that with such a busy environment, the service would be excellent. But it was quite the opposite. The service was terrible from the very beginning. They didn't help us choose our dishes or even properly answer basic questions about the ingredients in the salad. When we said we wanted to think a little more before ordering, the employee demonstratively grimaced, turned around, and left. After that, practically no one came to us. They only remembered us when the dishes arrived. Now about the food. We ordered the Fish Grill Set, and it was a complete disappointment. Almost all the seafood was overcooked and bitter. There was sand in the shrimp. The fish was inedible – dry and burnt. The only decent thing was the potatoes. Thank goodness for them, at least. And the final touch—they completely forgot to bring our salad. The very salad we'd asked about several times. They simply forgot about it. We haven't experienced such poor service and such substandard food in a long time. I absolutely do not recommend this place. Taormina has countless wonderful restaurants—don't waste your time or money here.

07/05/2026: Amazing pastry shop, quality comes at a price and here we have plenty of quality!!

09/02/2026: Exceptional Piparelle. Congratulations from Portovenere.

19/04/2026: A true, typical family-run trattoria

04/04/2026: This is an absolute gem of a place. The ambience is so friendly and the food is out of this world.

26/07/2026: We were unable to share our experience at this restaurant. We waited outside for 10 minutes, with several servers passing by. None of them came to greet us. We finally called them over, only for them to tell us they couldn't seat us even though the restaurant wasn't full! I gave it one star because I couldn't give it zero! I strongly advise against going there! Judging by the owner's comment, perhaps he's the one who needs to control his anger. He doesn't know how to respond to negative comments without aggression. These responses should be constructive for improvement. Your server could have simply said, "We're fully booked, please consider making a reservation for next time," with a smile. Best of luck.

25/07/2026: Disappointed by our experience. We stood in front of the servers for about ten minutes without anyone even glancing at us or saying a word. After a while, we had to ask a server if it was still possible to have dinner. He simply shook his head and told us it wasn't, without a word. We completely understand that a restaurant can't accommodate a group of 10 people without a reservation. That wasn't what bothered us. What really disappointed us was the lack of consideration and the feeling of being completely ignored. A simple "good evening," a few words of explanation, and a smile would have been enough to make the situation much more pleasant. It's a shame, because the food looked very appetizing, and we came looking forward to discovering the establishment. I'm not in the habit of leaving negative reviews, but this experience really affected me. All customers deserve to be treated with respect, whether they have booked or not.

06/06/2026: Friendly staff, excellent restrooms. Thank you.

11/05/2026: I celebrated my daughter's First Communion and Confirmation. The food was all delicious, the portions generous, and the ingredients were of the highest quality. The staff was extremely kind and organized. They frequently stopped by the tables to ask if they'd like more (even though I didn't think there was any need because the portions were generous), and they never failed to provide drinks. Most importantly, all the guests were satisfied and full, and everyone complimented them. Finally, I'd also like to compliment the decor they created, which was beautiful. A tip: go try their specialties.

20/10/2025: Beautiful place, unique and original, a piano at the entrance with a pianist to give a touch of exclusivity, even if not everyone may like eating with music that drowns out your conversation with the diners, we had pizzas with bruschetta and mixed fried food, good pizzas (not exceptional) and expensive, bruschetta good and expensive, chips poor, salty and expensive, it was Saturday, the place was full but not very full but before they served us the pizzas we waited too long, anyway pleasant evening, the important thing is to be in good company

14/10/2025: Excellent pizza and attentive service. The menu is a bit confusing, but the combination of quotes and art in general is much appreciated. Quiet place.

01/06/2026: Popped in for lunch with a few friends. Staff were great and the food was fresh and tasty. I had the sword fish with olives and capers which were excellent

31/05/2026: Today we went out to dinner with the family. The food was absolutely delicious. My wife said she had the best mussels ever. The service was very friendly and attentive. Thank you for your hospitality. We would love to return soon. Today we went out to dinner with the family. The food was absolutely delicious. My wife said she had the best mussels ever.

18/04/2026: What can I say? Two local friends recommended this restaurant to us, and I have to say I was right to listen. Impeccable service, delicious, varied food, and truly reasonable prices...plus, they offered us homemade desserts that capped off the meal and made us want to come back again!

18/04/2026: We took a detour from Taormina to Cefalu. A restaurant nestled in the mountains, offering exceptional quality and capturing the essence of rural Italy. Delicious lamb pasta.

25/04/2026: A welcoming and pleasant place. I had lunch with my family and was very satisfied. The food was excellent. The chef welcomed us personally and took care of every aspect of the meal, describing each dish in detail, demonstrating his passion for his work and love for the local area. I will return as soon as possible. Giusy

13/04/2026: Very nice and welcoming restaurant. Excellent food, tried twice. The first time, the fish menu, was really good. The second time, the meat menu, superb. The chef manages to create sensational dishes. I highly recommend it!
