I migliori ristoranti di cucina italiana in Messina

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.

21/04/2026: All good but still impossible to use the card to pay as the POS is always out of order.

07/04/2026: Great bar and really good cakes. The granita is also excellent.

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.

17/06/2026: The property is very clean and welcoming, featuring a small but charming spa with all the essential amenities for a pleasant moment of relaxation. Breakfast is plentiful and excellent, as is the cuisine, which offers refined dishes expertly prepared by a top-notch chef. Special thanks to all the staff, always helpful, smiling, and courteous. A truly pleasant experience that I highly recommend.

13/06/2026: Superb structure, staff, atmosphere, food. Congratulations

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: We ate very well! Delicious food, welcoming staff.

19/04/2026: A wonderful, timeless place, where you want to let it pass by, losing yourself in a unique atmosphere. Authenticity is found in every detail: the courtesy of the staff, the excellent food, everything carefully prepared by them, in the background children playing happily on a manicured lawn, a true connection with nature! I think the best word to describe this magical place is welcoming, and it's not at all a given to feel so welcomed. Thank you for the wonderful experience.

22/05/2026: Small, simple, yet welcoming, with delicious dishes and pizzas. This family-run restaurant has been open for many years, evolving and adapting to market changes over time, always satisfying its clientele while preserving the traditions of local cuisine. This has made it a cutting-edge business in food service. The food and the selection of dishes are delicious, but above all, the staff's warmth toward customers—a simple yet effective approach.

24/04/2026: Generous portions, good food. Very kind, helpful, and knowledgeable staff. They're a wonderful team, they deserve a 10 ⭐️

14/04/2026: A negative experience, unfortunately not an isolated one. At the first polite comment, the staff's reaction was disproportionate and unprofessional: heated tones and a complete inability to handle criticism. It's precisely in moments like these that the quality of service is measured. The point of the discussion was simple: after ordering wine by the glass, I was asked if it was okay, even if it was expensive, and only later did it emerge that the glass had been "poorly poured" by my colleagues, meaning it wasn't full, with a two-euro discount and no willingness to open a new bottle (an Etna red for around €80) "for me." An unclear dynamic, difficult to consider consistent with attentive service. Added to this is an even more unpleasant episode: after inquiring about a forgotten jacket, I was explicitly told that the reply was sent at 2 a.m. "on purpose" to disregard my rest (I swear, those exact words). It was accompanied by an invitation not to show up again and a heated argument over the 10-minute delay (the taxi was late, and we even let me know; the music evening started very late because the place was empty and no one told us). During the interaction, personal references were also made, such as "I know who you are, I know your parents," which were completely out of place and irrelevant to the context. I understand that managing multiple places can be challenging, but we've witnessed these scenes too often. Stress and the fact that you don't take days off cannot justify either angry attitudes or deliberately inappropriate behavior toward customers. A minimum level of professionalism should remain a constant, otherwise you should rest or seek professional help. This isn't the first time I've witnessed the owner make a scene toward customers and employees; it seems like a a little too much.

14/04/2026: We are the team of Villa Nadira. We went to Sottosopra with our host after hearing about it from her, and after she had recommended it to many guests. We’re not entirely sure what happened, but ordering a glass of wine turned out to be surprisingly complicated — lots of back and forth, with the waiter constantly coming and going. When we arrived, no one greeted us, and the waitress gave us an unfriendly look. So we ended up taking shots at the bar, as we were being ignored by the entire staff and didn’t even know where to sit. We waited in front of the kitchen. Eventually, we realized our table was downstairs. The live music night was nice, although the place was quite empty and they started very late. We’re not sure what happened later while paying the bill — at the time, we thought they were just joking around. One of us even played music and connected with the musicians, so overall there had been some genuinely nice moments. Two days later, we found out we were no longer welcome. Another staff member accompanied our host for clarification and told us that the waiter had said he would grab them by the hair and throw them out. A supposed manager justified the situation by saying that the owner never has days off. Avoid this place if you just want to have a good time without dealing with the staff’s anger.

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.

28/12/2025: Fantastic place, welcoming, clean, and perfect for relaxing after long walks in the Nebrodi Mountains. The spa is brand new and well-functioning (beyond my expectations). The owners' politeness and kindness make the difference. We ate all the typical local dishes, impeccably prepared. I highly recommend it.

27/12/2025: We had a wonderful experience at this fantastic B&B! We stayed for one night, taking advantage of both the spa and the restaurant. Everything was taken care of down to the smallest detail, and the family management was excellent!

06/03/2026: Delicious cannoli and a huge selection of other pastries. I'd gladly come back anytime :-)

25/12/2025: I received a Black and White cake from this pastry shop as a gift. The packaging was oddly glued together with staples, but nothing unusual. The surprise was inside, as the cake arrived without even a serving plate and was thrown haphazardly into the box without the slightest care. At least a stand could have been included.

13/05/2026: If you're looking for authentic, timeless flavors in Giardini Naxos, Rosticceria Da Andrea is a must-see. It's one of those historic places that exudes tradition and passion for work. The highlight is undoubtedly the chicken: succulent, flavorful, and perfectly cooked, with that crispy skin that makes it irresistible. You can taste the special care taken in selecting the ingredients and seasoning. But what really makes this place special, beyond the quality of the food, is the welcome. The owners are exceptionally kind, always extremely helpful and with a smile on their faces. They make you feel at home from the moment you arrive, an added value that's not at all easy to find these days. Highly recommended for both a quick lunch and a quality takeout dinner. A historic landmark that never disappoints!

12/04/2026: We're staying at a campsite and after seeing Da Andrea online, we decided to try it. The chicken was delicious, with a lovely lemony flavor. The potatoes were also very good. I recommend it for a quick and tasty meal.

05/05/2026: I recommend it, even if the pork and lamb from the grill served on my plate weren't the best.

22/04/2026: La Vecchia Fattoria — ★★★★★ A truly superlative dining experience. The food is outstanding — beautifully prepared, full of flavour, and the menu offers an impressive variety to suit every taste. What makes this place stand out, though, is the service: attentive, warm, and genuinely welcoming from start to finish. La Vecchia Fattoria is the kind of restaurant you leave already looking forward to your next visit.

06/11/2025: Come in!! Trust me Despite the entrance, the place is clean and dignified. The food is excellent and the value is excellent. And the lovely and kind waitress who welcomes you with a big smile is gold these days. Recommended!!!!

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.

02/06/2026: Very nice location, excellent cuisine, attentive service. An extra star for the wine and dessert list. The cannoli are top notch.

02/06/2026: Here's a review ready to publish: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Last night we had dinner at Officina di Mare and, once again, the experience was excellent. The food is truly exquisite, with dishes crafted with attention to detail and high-quality ingredients that bring out the best in the flavors of the sea. The restaurant stands out for its modern and elegant style, a refined and welcoming atmosphere that makes the evening even more enjoyable. The service and hospitality were also impeccable: the staff were professional, friendly, and always attentive to the needs of their guests. It wasn't our first visit and it certainly won't be our last. Each time, we find the same quality and attention that make the difference. Highly recommended to anyone who wants to treat themselves to an excellent dinner in a beautiful and refined setting. Congratulations to all the staff! 👏🌊🍽️
