I migliori ristoranti di cucina italiana in Messina

06/09/2025: I had dinner with my family at this restaurant. We had a wonderful time. As soon as we arrived, they gave us a truly wonderful table near the beach. Kudos to Sara for her kindness; she took care of us throughout the dinner. The young man who took our order was also excellent; he gave us some really good recommendations. We ate very well. The dishes were beautifully presented. Recommended.

30/08/2025: We ate deliciously at Nereo, on the charming little balcony overlooking the beach, which offers a truly magical atmosphere. The owner and staff were friendly, helpful, and very professional. An experience worth repeating!

23/09/2025: The pasta or primo piatto is unparalleled, full of flavor, exquisite. The second course, to be honest, didn't live up to what we'd already eaten. The dessert was very tasty, and the service was nothing special.

16/08/2025: Typical food with handmade sourdough. The service was spectacular. They served us today, even though we arrived a little late.

07/09/2025: Excellent gastronomy and butcher shop

15/07/2025: Quality delicatessen, excellent butcher, very good delicatessen with various tasty dishes, certainly not cheap.

06/09/2025: Perfect location, the best views you'll find. The food is exquisite, and the service is excellent. 100% recommended.

06/09/2025: This was the best pizza I ever had in my entire life (Mongibello)! Also, the linguine with seafood were so fresh and good, I was shocked. Everything was cooked to perfection! We will be coming again.

18/08/2025: Good pizza, but very questionable service. They couldn't get the pizza to be ready in time with the kitchen. After the pizza was finished, the dishes for two of us arrived, and they watched the others. Lots of confusion in the dining room.

11/08/2025: The pizza might be good, but the pricing policy definitely needs rethinking. Removing two ingredients from a pizza and still charging boutique prices isn't fair.

23/09/2025: We were sitting on the beach in front of the restaurant. The smell of food made us hungry. I then found cozze (mussels) on the menu. The portion was a generous €15. I've never tasted better. Slightly spicy, with garlic, tomato, and white wine. Coperto was €1.50. The cozze is a dream. Good service with a sea view. Moretti draft beer is too expensive at €6 (0.4l).

22/09/2025: Lack of transparency... a well-kept beach in an excellent location... but what we consumers cannot and will not forgive is the lack of transparency and the unclear information regarding prices for admission, sunbeds, umbrellas, etc.

24/08/2025: Delicious chicken, spectacular parmigiana. It reminded me of my grandmother's. All at a very low price: 4-5 euros.

22/08/2025: Excellent chicken shop, great prices, and you can find delicious things like small stuffed peppers and stuffed aubergines just like grandma used to make. Highly recommended.

16/10/2025: Very nice and delicious food! Best pizza in Sicily❤️

01/10/2025: In September it is already a quiet place, you can sit inside the restaurant or outside with a sea view. The fritura mista is great, the service is pleasant.

17/10/2025: We had an absolutely legendary lunch at Caffe Isola Bella. Nazar and Fabio guided us through the menu. The food was very good. Can’t wait to come back for round two.

16/10/2025: Great little bar near the Isola Bella. Great service with a smile. Nazar and Ulukbek made us feel very welcome! ☺️ thanks guys !

19/09/2025: Unique and spectacular dishes, delicious. The place is beautiful on the seafront. We've been there several times to try all the dishes on the menu. I highly recommend it. Go there.

12/09/2025: Like every year, as soon as I arrive in Patti, I can't help but eat at Papilla. Oddly enough, it's a bar/restaurant where the food is truly excellent. Both lunch and dinner are great. I love the bruschetta; I've tried them all, the pistachio ones are a must. The arancini, the cacio e pepe ones, are excellent. For my first course, I'm sticking with the spaghetti with swordfish, lemon, and almond flakes. Delicious. The pasta alla norma, the parmigiana, and the caponata are all revisited, so if you're expecting tradition, skip them. I liked them all, too. Shoutout to Emanuele, the bartender at lunchtime, who was very friendly, as were the girls serving tables. And they're young... good luck everyone!

20/09/2025: There's nothing wrong with this place, located in the historic part of Milazzo. The very kind young waiter served us impeccably. That said, waiting an hour and a half for a plate of seafood spaghetti is unacceptable. Out of respect for the people accompanying us, I didn't leave early.

10/09/2025: We stumbled upon Il Giardino di Sicilia Milazzo while looking for a place to grab dinner. It was a perfect experience! The staff is friendly and attentive, and the food is absolutely amazing! We ordered many different dishes and they even gave us a tasting portion of each dish for the table so everyone could try what the other was having. It was such a pleasant experience and i am tempted to book another flight to sicily simply to come back and eat here!

28/09/2025: I've been to this restaurant for lunch several times. I recommend it on less crowded days. The service is good, as is the food. The only flaw, in my opinion, is the quality/price ratio. Overall, I recommend it.

21/09/2025: Last night we had dinner at the Camélia, the building and view were lovely. The house wine (grilled) should be avoided (dishwasher smell in the glass and the wine was very flat and tasteless). As for the dishes... the grilled vegetables were swimming in oil, the calamari was fried with the skin on, the pizzas were dry, not to mention the long service... between the starter and the main course... an hour went by!

31/08/2025: The lighting is too harsh. Everything else is great!

24/07/2025: Unbeatable quality/price. These Sicilian pizzas are very good.

14/10/2025: Very good pizza, super friendly service, great atmosphere, close to the sea. I recommend it to everyone. I'll definitely be back. Best regards

28/09/2025: Excellent focacceria on the seafront, the inside room is a bit small!

28/09/2025: Great welcome, very good pizza too, but you absolutely have to try the lovely plate of pasta alla carbonara. Pour une très bonne pizza mais aussi les pâtes à la carbonara! Il faut y aller !

03/09/2025: Small, local pub in Francavilla di Sicilia, we were looking for something else but ended there by chance. The outside atmosphere was nice at sunset. We had insalata Gustosa, antipasti Sicilia, toast Solito, piadine Miami, pizza Salccicia, french fries, cola, ice tea and half liter white wine for 52 euros. The food was good, the salad and appetizer were the best, followed by the sandwiches and pizza at the end, but still good.
