I migliori ristoranti di cucina italiana in Messina

18/09/2025: Francesco is the best waiter I've ever worked with, even though he's only been working here for a short time, he's a professional. Superlative croissants

31/05/2025: Everything very good and helpful and kind staff! Highly recommended 👌

07/09/2025: Nice place, excellent food, and good service. The wine list offers an excellent selection. A place you'll gladly return to.

19/08/2025: This place embodied what keeps Sicily from standing out above all others. A dinner for vacationers with a craving for meat. Five of us showed up and were seated at a table inside, which I was forced to appreciate, despite the heat and the mere presence of fans, since everywhere outside, people are still allowed to smoke rudely in front of those eating. People need to be legally obligated; respect and civic duty are nonexistent. Luckily, we were first to arrive, even though it was 8:00 PM. So, no delays with service. We skipped the first courses, ordering three appetizers to share and five second courses: fillets, tagliata, veal cheek, as well as a good 2017 Sicilian wine. All excellent. What's the flaw? The side dish for the two beef fillets, as per the menu, was "ash-fried potatoes"; the other three second courses included mashed potatoes. When the dishes arrived, they all contained mashed potatoes. Naturally, we prefer to eat hot, but as soon as one of the staff approaches, I ask why the side dish was changed from the menu, adding with a smile, "Maybe the chef didn't feel like making the potatoes à la citron." Unless I misunderstood, I was told the chef was on vacation and was handed the menu so I could verify what I was already sure of. Nothing more. I don't apologize for the forced change, but at least offer a half-word to justify it. Nothing at all. At the end of the dinner, I ask another woman in the dining room about it, who tells me they had a reception at lunch that messed everything up. End of excuse... But can you? If I order a pizza with chopped cherry tomatoes, can you just bring it to me with the sauce and not care? It's still tomato, right? What was the point of coming to the table before the dishes arrived and saying a few words about it? Who would have objected? Oh well, in Sicily, simmu cussi! I pay the bill, after pointing out the extra glass of wine I'd ordered before opting for the bottle, which is promptly deducted. I thank them for the excellent meat (not the side dish), say goodbye, and leave. Nothing is missing from achieving excellence. Except, perhaps, it doesn't matter. And as a native of the island, that's precisely what bothers me.

22/10/2025: I daydream about the olives on a daily basis.

06/10/2025: A delightful and well-run place. The staff is excellent, always available and attentive to requests.

17/08/2025: The location is truly beautiful and well-kept: it's a real shame to find the weather bad on August 15th and not eat outside. The fish is fresh, certainly well-frozen and of high quality, but it's prepared without imagination, without that special something that makes you remember it. With two bottles of wine, appetizers, and a first course, we spent €50 per person (considering we had three small children). Dessert needs rethinking: the flans are fine, but the crème brulee and freshly defrosted cheesecake aren't up to par with the place, and especially the bill. The service is truly lame (missing menus, endless waits for dessert, lack of coordination, sloppiness). There's no parking: you have to park in the middle of the street. I don't think we'll be back.

07/08/2025: Excellent food and friendly staff.

04/12/2025: not bad food, but the stone in the pasta was very unpleasant

26/11/2025: In years past, this restaurant was one of my favorites. Unfortunately, recent visits haven't confirmed those positive memories. Prices have increased significantly, but the quality of the dishes hasn't kept pace. The dishes are lacking in flavor and, considering the high prices, significantly below expectations. I sincerely hope the restaurant regains the quality that made it special.

19/11/2025: Quality, home-style food. The staff are truly welcoming. It's like eating at your mom's...

18/11/2025: The focaccia was inedible!! Full of oil, it tasted like soup. I also had some fried arancini and some French fries, which were less oily than the focaccia. It was truly disgusting. I had to throw it away. The French fries tasted like fish, and the pistachio arancini only had a few chopped pistachios inside. Never again.

16/09/2025: Family restaurant. Hearty and delicious dishes. Great atmosphere

05/09/2025: Exceptional service, considering it's midweek at the end of August in a remote village in the Peloritani. Good traditional cuisine at a fair price.

15/04/2025: Eccellenti sia i formaggi che i piatti della tradizione siciliana preparati a mano, al momento. Lasciatevi consigliare dal personale il tagliere e i vini adatti ai vostri gusti. E poi, gustate una cassata! Cercate bene il locale nella via, c’è una piccola insegna all’ingresso!!

14/04/2025: No hay palabras para describir lo deliciosa que es la comida. Cada artículo era mejor que el siguiente: la albóndiga era la mejor que he probado, la berenjena estaba divina, los quesos y las carnes eran todos locales y excelentes. El servicio fue increíble y se puede sentir el amor en la preparación de la comida. La mejor comida en Taormina manos abajo

18/07/2025: Beh la location…sulla spiaggia nera di Vulcano. Staff informale ma attento e cortese. Pizza buonissima. Consiglio la Sicilia Bedda, quel pesto di agrumi….buona e fresca. E la Salina, più decisa ma rispettosa dei sapori delle Eolie. Al tramonto poi…. Consigliatissimo

15/07/2025: Top ristorante a Vulcano! Pane cunzato ottimo, pizze ottime, birre ottime, location bellissima, personale gentile e prezzi onesti.

21/08/2025: Great food and very helpful staff

17/08/2025: A truly beautiful, quaint place, with seafood featuring a wide array of flavors and truly excellent pairings. We'll definitely be returning. I recommend the appetizer menu, which has a truly extensive selection, and the first courses. I highly recommend driving up a mountain to get here. Congratulations!

12/11/2025: We visited a local restaurant in Taormina for lunch, perched on the hillside with beautiful sea views. Unfortunately, the terrace was closed due to a storm that day, but the atmosphere was still relaxed and inviting. The service was attentive, the staff were friendly, and the food was excellent. We kept it simple with just one course and a drink, but the overall experience was definitely enjoyable.

28/10/2025: We found ourselves at this restaurant for lunch during our trip to Sicily. The view was breathtaking and the staff were incredibly friendly. We ate deliciously and enjoyed the view of Isola Bella. I'm giving it five stars because we really enjoyed our stay. We were greeted with great hospitality and kindness, and the food was excellent.

27/10/2025: Excellent seafood restaurant. Very friendly staff. We ate really well. I highly recommend it.

20/09/2025: Top-notch seafood cuisine....fresh fish, simple cooking enhances the flavor of the fish...compliments, I highly recommend it to gourmets.

18/11/2025: Unfortunately, I live far from this shop, where I would be a loyal customer. They have everything I consider a treat and that gives me peace of mind. Luckily, online orders exist. I was really pleased with the service, very fast, and the package was well-packaged. Thank you.

15/11/2025: The report is negative because there is no way for elderly people who do not have a credit card to pay cash on delivery.

10/09/2025: A bit hectic and uncoordinated, but very tasty

05/09/2025: Three of us had dinner: excellent service, and within 2 minutes of ordering, the meal arrived, beautifully seasoned. We ate the pizzas, which we really enjoyed. The variety of toppings is also very high quality. I must also say that the chef is very skilled. I also gave the location 5 stars because it seems very traditional: the glasses are very unique, and I think the idea of ​​the lamps is very beautiful. The price is fair for the high-quality food. Thank you so much for the experience.

09/11/2025: I ordered Involtini Pesce Spada Fresco Grigliati alla Siciliana. The rolls were very small, Spada is very thin, ingredients not tasty, the fried batter outside is badly burnt. Why is this dish cost 32euros? The waiter was kind but the stern faced lady who seems to me the shopkeeper was rather curt and blunt, store-oriented style, reluctant to welcome a customer from the far east small island.

29/10/2025: The views, food and service were perfect!
