I migliori ristoranti di cucina italiana in Messina

27/05/2026: We dined at this restaurant two nights in a row during our three-day stay in Taormina, just to prove how much we enjoyed it! Excellent food, very attentive and friendly service and wait staff, and a more than adequate quality/price ratio. RECOMMENDED!

05/01/2026: We discovered it by chance yesterday. We came to see the living nativity scene and were looking for a place to eat and a lady recommended this place to us... we ate well and the service was truly excellent.

11/07/2026: We loved both the food and the service; it was very friendly, welcoming, and everything was delicious.

11/07/2026: We loved it, very clean and excellent service, very friendly

26/07/2026: Terrible service at the bar. The waiter cleared the outside tables and put everything on the inside counter (without a tray). The coffees were ready on the counter, but we couldn't drink them because he kept putting dirty glasses on top. Extremely disorganized. Not recommended. 2 coffees, both burned. There were a maximum of 6 customers in the bar, and they were completely confused and panicked.

25/07/2026: Delicious granita and excellent selection of vegan options. Friendly staff. We'll definitely be back!

24/12/2025: Excellent food, detailed for lunch, good service Good customer service Excellent courtesy and politeness Relaxing space Clean, tidy, well-equipped Well-presented products Good selection

27/05/2026: Excellent experience, extensive menu, and top-quality food. The owner and staff were welcoming, friendly, and incredibly professional. Highly recommended!

13/05/2026: I recommend it for the excellent appetizer and the delicate first course, even if the pork and lamb from the grill served on my plate weren't the best. Finally, a little fruit, even if presumably not chosen by whoever managed the group's reservation, would have been a complete addition to the full menu.

26/06/2026: Excellent piadinas, super friendly staff...

14/06/2026: Wide selection and excellent quality. Very short wait times and very friendly staff. A great alternative to the usual pizza or sandwich, at a reasonable price. Congratulations!

07/07/2026: Among the best hamburger joints in Messina

06/06/2026: Everything was good, nothing to complain about and the meat was juicy. I ordered takeout, but if I order a pumpkin and gorgonzola sandwich I expect gorgonzola, but instead they added mayonnaise... disappointed.

13/07/2026: Service was excellent, but the food needs a complete overhaul. We're very sorry to have to give a negative review, but the dinner wasn't great. The food was decidedly awful: pasta was way overcooked, pizza was frozen, and a fish dish tasted like nothing.

12/07/2026: We ordered pizzas to take away to our hotel room next door. The pizzas were delicious and the view was amazing 😍🍕 The staff was very friendly as well! Strongly recommend.

12/05/2026: What a wonderful experience our stay here at the end of April was! A place seemingly untouched by time, so authentic. Charming, smiling hosts who took such good care of us. Delicious, traditional, and enormous meals. Everything is produced on-site. The joy of setting off for a walk each morning with homemade fruit and cakes 😊 The taste of true Sicily 🥰

20/05/2026: The service was nice and the atmosphere of the restaurant was nice, but the lack of a menu (apart from pizzas) is an absolute weak point... you choose something, buy something, and only at the checkout do you know how much it costs (for 5 people, each of whom ordered only one thing, we paid 85 EUR, but apart from the price of the pizza, it is not known what generated such a high bill). The food was quite tasty, but it did not evoke such enthusiasm as described in other reviews here.

26/04/2026: We returned in April 2026; truly excellent service and first-class food. Romagnoli Family

07/12/2025: I was truly impressed by this restaurant: a charming, elegant place with attention to every detail. The atmosphere is refined yet welcoming, perfect for a special dinner. A special thanks goes to Gilbert, the waiter who looked after us with great professionalism and courtesy. Extremely kind, knowledgeable, and always available, he expertly guided us through the wine selection, suggesting perfect pairings with each course. His passion and attention to detail made the experience even more enjoyable. The quality of the food is excellent: fresh ingredients, carefully crafted dishes, and balanced flavors. The portions are perfectly designed: you arrive at the end of the meal feeling full but not weighed down, with the feeling of having savored each course to perfection. The price is absolutely in line with the quality offered; in fact, considering the attentive service and the high quality of the cuisine, it's even reasonable. I highly recommend this restaurant: a true gastronomic experience, worth trying again and again! Congratulations to all the staff, especially Gilbert, who made the evening unforgettable. 🍽️✨

30/11/2025: An experience definitely worth repeating. The choice of ingredients, the attention to detail, and the expertise in the preparation lead to an outcome that can only be excellent. Every single flavor is well-balanced and perfectly paired. The dishes are a succession of taste and refinement. The staff is friendly and knowledgeable. The service is attentive and courteous. There's a plan. You can see it, and above all, taste it, with every bite. Recommended.

04/08/2026: Returning to Lipari after a few years, I chose to dine at this restaurant, which I had fond memories of. The food is still excellent, and the setting is beautiful, with the sunset over Salina, Filicudi, and Alicudi. The service was precise and punctual. Highly recommended, and we'll be back soon!

30/07/2026: We discovered this little family-run restaurant almost by chance at lunch. When we arrived, it was empty (we almost thought it was closed!), but deciding to try it was a great idea. We were greeted warmly and offered a complimentary appetizer (provola cheese, olives, and delicious bread). We continued with two truly delicious and flavorful pasta dishes, where the authenticity of the ingredients was evident. The bill was also excellent, offering a truly competitive quality-price ratio. The real gem is the location: a beautiful terrace with a splendid view of the sea. A very peaceful and carefully managed place that is definitely worth a visit.

24/06/2026: Excellent sandwiches, but too many seats in relation to the capacity to prepare the sandwiches, so when it is crowded you have to wait quite a while,

17/04/2026: Excellent sandwiches and chips!!! High quality products... service could be improved.

06/08/2026: A sublime appetizer: boiled calamari accompanied by peeled prawns on a bed of green beans, radicchio, and raw broad beans. A delight to say the least. I highly recommend it to anyone who wants to savor the true aromas and flavors of the season. I won't bother listing the other dishes, which are all worth discovering. After yesterday, I can also recommend the pauro en crosta. Refined cuisine in its naturalness and beautiful composition. An elegant location in every way. Top.

06/08/2026: The appetizer was good, the mixed fried food was excellent, everything was fresh, the pasta tartar and shrimp with truffle was excellent. There was a small glitch, but it can happen. For my first time, it was ok.
