I migliori ristoranti di cucina italiana in Messina

11/10/2025: Fast, delicious and with a nice service. Would recommend and will visit again :)

09/10/2025: In hindsight, We confirm the spirit of this restaurant 🍴, With rather bland cuisine, The service, a disaster, the owners and their entire team, without a single smile or attention. Without any identity.

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!!!

14/10/2025: An interesting place with good hot sandwiches and a party atmosphere. It's hard to get there in the evening. Google Maps leads you from a closed parking lot. You have to walk or drive to the highway junction and enter before it. Or take the street on the left, looking from the city, which is just past the railway viaduct and follow it. It's dark in the evening but peaceful. I recommend it.

21/09/2025: We paid €25 per person in advance by bank transfer for the evening, which was a partnership with Nennella. It was a complete rip-off. The menu included DOP buffalo mozzarella with tomato and olives as an appetizer, pasta and potatoes as a first course, seasoned bread (their famous and delicious seasoned bread) as a second course, and baba for dessert. In reality, they brought us a skewer of mozzarella and tomato bites along with a slice of COLD and ICED seasoned bread, a small bowl of pasta with provola and potatoes for the first course, and a mini baba for dessert. And the second course?! We never imagined it would be that. A piece of bread that arrived with the "appetizer." We were disappointed; it was our first time there, and we wanted to try the much-vaunted seasoned bread, but it was awful! What a shame! I won't be back!

14/11/2025: We celebrated our son Emanuele's 18th birthday in this dream location on October 24, 2025. Every detail was meticulously designed, with large outdoor spaces, a beautiful and elegant indoor dining room, and a spacious and well-equipped kitchen. The "grotto" was a truly unforgettable natural spectacle. I want to extend my heartfelt thanks and compliments to Cristiana, who assisted me before and during the event, ensuring everything ran flawlessly. It will definitely be our choice again for a future event. Moira

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.

23/10/2025: Popped in for a quick lunch, amazing pizza of mushrooms and artichokes, wonderful and plentiful mussels in a delish white wine and garlic, peach iced tea, lovely lunch for three and affordable. Go, mangia e divertiti!!!

21/10/2025: Gluten free friendly and super delicious.

01/12/2025: Goodness, kindness, friendliness, and quality. We tried a first course, a second course, and desserts. Everything was superb! Highly recommended.

25/10/2025: Enjoyed a delicious meal in a quiet corner. Friendly service.

01/09/2025: We stayed at the Agriturismo for 3 days. We had a wonderful time, welcomed by Antonia, the owner, who was very kind and attentive to our every need. The food was also delicious! I recommend it for its strategic location near Milazzo and Messina.

21/08/2025: Excellent experience, simple but very nice location, professional service, excellent value for money. We had mixed appetizers, each one more delicious than the last, of the highest quality, as were the first courses. The grilled meat was good, and the side dishes, which I would make more delicious, were on par with the other courses. The house wine was good. There's a short stretch of dirt road to access the agriturismo, but nothing particularly challenging. We'll definitely be back.

02/11/2025: I was recommended this restaurant for a get-together with friends, and I must say, even though I'd been there before, it had been a long time. The first impression, as soon as we entered the room, was of a casual yet clean and tidy place. The staff was absolutely perfect, helpful, precise, and friendly. And lunch? Various appetizers—corrected if I may say so—plenty, good, nothing earth-shattering, but you'll definitely find appetizers to your liking, like meatballs, eggplant or zucchini rolls, cheeses and cured meats, stuffed mushrooms, and these are just my favorites from the multitude of appetizers. It seemed like everything was gone, but instead we moved on to two first courses. Pappardelle with mushrooms, excellent, and Trofii with pistachio, amazing. Finally, a bit of mixed roast beef and lamb, delicious. And to finish, dessert, which I personally didn't order. The price? Well, almost the same as pizza with dessert and chips, but we had a restaurant-quality lunch. Moral of the story: well done, see you again.

22/10/2025: A good-quality trattoria, offering a few set menus and à la carte options. Authentic food and generous portions (free carry-out trays included!).

30/08/2025: Cozy little place Super friendly staff Excellent coffee

12/08/2025: Lovely and easy place where to stop for a refreshment and enjoyable ice cream pistachio

09/12/2025: Once we arrived, we were greeted with smiles and a warm welcome that, despite the winter, cheered us up. Matching the warm welcome and cheerfulness of the staff, the meticulously prepared dishes arrived, perfectly cooked and flavorful, far beyond the norm, all topped off by a staff that was more than present, helpful, and above all, friendly. Highly recommended; the chef's skill at grilling is indescribable.

07/11/2025: We went last night to this beautiful restaurant recommended by Fabrizio from Area 51. We had a wonderful time, the food was delicious, and the hospitality was top notch. We felt right at home, if not better! The owners were incredibly friendly and welcoming. Wonderful people!

09/12/2025: I'd been away from Messina for a long time, so I returned to Antenati. The restaurant has been drastically renovated and is very beautiful. It's maintained the quality of its menu, offering excellent pizzas, sandwiches, and steakhouse dishes. Gluten-free options are also available.

08/12/2025: Excellent location, friendly and courteous service. The mixed grill consists of two sausage nests, a burger, and delicious chops. An excellent craft beer is also available.

29/09/2025: This place is perfect if you want a pizza. It's unbeatably good and the atmosphere is fantastic. One star deducted for the other dishes (I had a salad, while other reviews said it was the pasta) and the beer quantities (0.33 is served in 0.25-liter glasses and 0.66 in 0.5-liter glasses).

24/09/2025: The sign says it all! WORLD CHAMPION PIZZA. Highly recommended to anyone passing by. Great welcome and SOOOOO FRIENDLY, really good food and cocktails.

20/11/2025: Historic restaurant in Capo d'Orlando, Lucia and Cettina are wonderful hosts. The first courses are indescribable and endless! The house antipasto is very good! They also make excellent pizza!

09/11/2025: Germans eat early, so getting a table for two wasn't a problem. We ordered Pizza Del Capo (€11), 12 grilled prawns coated in delicious breading (€13), and very, very tasty spaghetti carbonara (€9), along with water and half a liter of house red wine for €3. The staff was also very friendly. We were very surprised to pay so little for such a delicious meal. It's a completely different story at other restaurants in the area... We'll definitely be back.

22/09/2025: Exceptional granita, stellar cream
