I migliori ristoranti di cucina italiana in Messina

30/10/2025: Pretty setting, cold decor and bad lighting. Not well equipped for yoga retreats. The entire staff smokes, the yoga room is a dining room next to the kitchen, good breakfast, the dinner menu had some good pasta dishes but was challenging for vegans and vegetarians (some had to go buy food), the ‘double rooms’ have a bed and a sofa, not adequate for 2 adults sharing. This required costly changes after arrival, though we had confirmed there would be 2 beds. Also, there are 2 buildings, one 100m away by the road and much less charming than the one pictured. BEWARE of unpleasant surprise charges at check out! They charge 30€ for a 5 min ride to or from town! I also got charged 8€ for 2 cups of tea (!), despite having unlimited tea as part of our retreat… Not the hotel's fault but I had a sleepless night due to a mouse in my room, they helped remove it but I never received an apology from the staff and was told it was because I opened the door to the balcony, although the mouse had made a hole in the mosquito net! Swiss hospitality, I suppose. That said, our yoga teacher was absolutely wonderful and would gladly join her again elsewhere!

26/10/2025: My partner and I had a wonderful weekend stay there! The property is beautiful, we had a great welcome drink, and the room was very comfortable 🤗 The still-warm October morning was perfect for spending time by the pool. On Saturday afternoon, the owners took us to the olive harvest in a neighboring grove. It was incredibly interesting to watch and even get involved ourselves! Afterwards, we pressed the olives in the nearby press to make the finest oil. It was an unforgettable weekend 🫒✨

14/06/2026: We ate well, the Aeolian calamari was delicious and also the swordfish chops

23/03/2026: We had a wonderful lunch, excellent food, and impeccable service! Thanks for everything!! Especially Carmelo. If we come back, we'll definitely be back!

12/07/2026: I just ordered 2 portions of baked pasta to take away. Delivery was fast, but the pasta was inedible because it was so sweet. I don't understand why it was so sweet. Go easy on the sugar.

01/07/2026: Excellent chicken, nothing to say, highly recommended, I also praise the kindness of the owner

08/09/2025: A wonderful discovery! The beach is spotless and well-organized. The staff is incredibly friendly... and what about the beach and the sea? Fantastic! We'll definitely be back next summer.

08/09/2025: Very nice beach, very kind and helpful staff

29/01/2026: Excellent clean beach, delicious food, we really love coming here to relax.

05/10/2025: Great location, delicious food, friendly staff - you can't ask for more!

15/07/2026: Simply incredibly convenient, with Messina delicacies that are worth trying.

17/03/2026: Clean and tidy, tasty and fresh dishes, very friendly

24/06/2026: A pleasant evening with colleagues, Excellent appetizers, excellent pizza, and good service. With background music. We'll be back.

16/06/2026: We came from the Hotel Olimpo, a nice spot for the beach. However, the staff don't seem to enjoy their work. I think the girl behind the bar, in particular, is fed up with it🤨. It's also a bit odd that you aren't allowed to choose which sunbed to take. We only had lunch here, paninis. Fine, but not really melted well.

07/09/2025: I ordered a plate of seafood spaghetti and it was undoubtedly the best I've ever tasted: fresh, balanced, and authentic flavors, with the pasta cooked to perfection. My sincere compliments also go to the staff, who were always attentive, helpful, and extremely knowledgeable in describing the dishes and offering the best recommendations. An experience that combines gastronomic quality and great professionalism: I will definitely be back and recommend it to anyone who wants to experience high-quality cuisine. The icing on the cake was the karaoke night!

28/08/2025: Very good food, but several items on the bill were cheated. It smells like a tourist rip-off.

02/08/2026: Highly recommended for a quality seafood dinner. Everything is excellent, from the raw and cooked appetizers, to the squid ink strozzapreti with truffle and Mazzara shrimp, the spaghetti with sea urchins (not always on the menu), and the amazing cannoli in a caramelized almond wafer. They also offer numerous new dishes, including cod ice cream for dipping in the "a ghiotta" sauce and a revisited shrimp cocktail. The owners are always delightful and passionate about their work and the dishes they serve.

22/07/2026: Grande Pino, very beautiful outside with lots of nature, but dark inside. If it's not under the air conditioning in the summer, you'll get a bit sweaty. Very friendly staff, professional service. The price is a bit exaggerated. The pasta was mediocre; one dish had too much oil. The eggplant wasn't drained well. A bit expensive; we weren't very happy.

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

22/06/2026: I've been going there since I was a kid, and if my friend Salvatore is still running it, it's the best! You won't find anything better in the area! I'll be there in a month and I can't wait to go back for dinner! My wife still dreams of a first course she ate there a few years ago 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 Everything was fantastic: location, food, service!

10/06/2026: Very poor value for money. The frozen seafood pasta was awful. The only positive point was the terrace with a sea view.

23/02/2026: My husband and I had lunch yesterday and we had a really good time: apart from the friendliness and courtesy of the staff, the food was very good, home-cooked with many zero-mile dishes.

06/12/2025: Excellent food that reflects the region and what the season has to offer. A must-visit. Their homemade soap and wine are also excellent.

01/06/2026: What can I say? Perfect location, we celebrated New Year's Eve, 2nd Communion and many other events, delicious food, excellent service, quality waiters... The owner Cristina is a delightful person.

02/01/2026: I was there for New Year's Eve dinner... the worst of my life... buffet appetizer... and when people slowly started to serve themselves, many dishes were finished and never replaced, and the exact same thing with the desserts and fruit, a disgrace for a dinner that you book and paid a lot of money, except for the first courses which were served at the table, the service was sufficient, rating 3... I will never set foot in there again and not just me but many of the people who were with us

28/05/2026: The best paninis around. The bread is freshly made every time.

28/05/2026: Very good food, but you have to treat your employees with care and politeness

22/05/2026: A stylish and atmospheric place, very clean and with a pleasant, relaxed atmosphere. Conveniently located away from the hustle and bustle of the beach, yet close to the sea.

21/05/2026: Hotel Da Peppe is a place you want to return to 🇮🇹☀️ Our guests enjoyed exceptional hospitality, a family atmosphere, and excellent service that made everyone feel truly special from day one ❤️😊 A huge advantage of the hotel is its beautiful location right by the sea 🌊🌴, allowing you to admire Sicilian views and feel the true spirit of Italy every day ✨ The excellent cuisine 🍝🦐 also deserves special mention – delicious dishes, fresh ingredients, and Italian flavors that will linger in your memory for a long time 😍 We wholeheartedly recommend Hotel Da Peppe to anyone visiting Sicily 🇮🇹
