I migliori ristoranti di cucina italiana in Messina

22/05/2025: I was at a birthday party that went very well: everything was very well-kept, the atmosphere and staff were very welcoming, the food was good and plentiful. It was worth coming from Rome, for loved ones it is always worth being there and the Circoletto was the right setting.

12/05/2025: An unforgettable experience at Circoletto – when cooking becomes pure emotion There are evenings that remain imprinted in the heart, and the one spent at the Circoletto was one of those rare occasions in which everything - absolutely everything - borders on perfection. From the first moment we were welcomed with warmth and professionalism by Gianfranco, the owner, who with his sincere smile and his passion for hospitality made us feel immediately at home. But it is at the table that a real spectacle of the senses unfolds. Each dish was a journey, a story, a surprise. The raw material? Simply excellent. Raw fish of a touching freshness, fresh pasta that tastes of expert hands and tradition, second courses worthy of a standing ovation. Impossible to forget the amberjack: cooked to perfection, clean flavor, balanced intensity. A dish that alone would be worth the trip. And then he arrives, chef Calogero, a professional of rare humility and extraordinary competence. He told us about his creations with authentic passion, explaining the soul of each dish, the origin of the ingredients, the reason for each choice. It's not just cuisine: it's art, culture, emotion. The service? Impeccable. The environment? Well-kept, welcoming, authentic. Special praise also goes to the cellar: a truly surprising selection of labels, with rare and unobtainable vintages that tell territories, stories and expert hands. Each wine served accompanied the dishes, enhancing their flavors and giving us further emotions, as only bottles chosen with love and expertise can do. A wine list that alone is worth the visit. There wasn't a single dish that didn't give us pleasure, amazement and gratitude. From the first to the last bite we perceived love, care and very high quality. Our vote? Five full, sincere, deserved stars. And a promise: we will return to Sicily soon, even just to be able to sit at that table again and let ourselves be enchanted. Thanks Circololetto. Thank you chef Calogero. Thanks Gianfranco. Until the next emotion. Patrizia and Luciano 🥰🥰🥰

12/12/2025: Nice place, good food, we'll be happy to return!

14/11/2025: We go for lunch at least every two weeks, and I have to say we have a great time. Besides sushi, we eat Italian food and lots of desserts. The staff is friendly and courteous. Congratulations!

16/09/2025: Excellent restaurant. Great food wonderful service and scenic surroundings.

30/08/2025: We called the day before to have their renowned rabbit prepared, and the next day at lunch we were graciously welcomed by the owner, who, thanks also to our exclusive presence in the entire restaurant, pampered us with excellent house red wine and a typical Aeolian salad. The location offers a terrace overlooking Salina, and the final price was absolutely in line with the island, but fair considering what we were fortunate enough to eat.

24/11/2025: family atmosphere, cheap food and delicious pizza, thank you

25/09/2025: Very good pizza and one of the nicest places in Milazzo's square. Highly recommended!

23/08/2025: Nice place, good ingredients, and friendly staff. When it's crowded, the wait can be long.

19/08/2025: Simply divine. They offer superb desserts and granitas. Try the typical Messina dessert, the black and white one, which they prepare here according to tradition.

17/06/2025: Granita with delicious cream, ditto the warm brioche. Friendly staff and great prices. Recommended.

24/04/2025: Il miglior cornetto e la migliore brioche col tuppo, secondo me, della provincia di Messina. Granita ottima, consiglio anche la sfogliatella alla ricotta. Top!

20/10/2025: We have been there twice, and only ordered pasta. In my opinion they have the best pasta in the area as a home restaurant.

12/10/2025: The food is not special, the portions are small, but it is expensive. Maybe because it is surrounded by hotels and villas.

15/11/2025: Excellent for workers who need to have lunch, simple and abundant dishes

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

06/12/2025: The off-menu pizza is delicious. The Carbonara is a must-try 👍

03/12/2025: A truly positive experience at this pizzeria, whose hallmarks are hospitality, kindness, and deliciousness. Let us recommend the pizzas off the menu: they're amazing, and they're still good.

16/11/2025: Handsome and youthful, I love the coffee and cream granita and then the delicious hazelnut ice cream

11/10/2025: Welcoming, clean and everyone is friendly.

29/10/2025: Amazing coffee and delicious pastries with a view of the sea and Stromboli. Loud, but relaxed and laid-back.

12/10/2025: I haven't tried all the bars in Lipari, but this is DEFINITELY the best for spectacular breakfasts and aperitivos!!! The prices are truly Sicilian, not the exorbitant tourist fare you'll find on most islands. We've tried the pastries, the granitas with cream, and the croissants; everything has always been delicious and served in the best possible way. Not to mention the aperitivos!! The price is incredibly low for everything they serve! If you go to the island, you MUST stop here at least once; besides, there's a bus stop right in front.

19/09/2025: All the dishes are sublime, the service is excellent and fast,

23/08/2025: I eat here often, and I can honestly say I've always felt very comfortable. The place is very clean, and the staff is very knowledgeable and friendly. The owner recommended the pasta dish off the menu: tonnarelli with crab. I must say, she gave us a very good recommendation, as it was delicious and filling. Not to mention the appetizers, which were the brushette with shrimp and the salmon and burrata. We left very satisfied, and we'll definitely be back. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.

12/08/2025: Nothing to say. Everything was perfect. They seated us, despite the late hour, welcoming us with great courtesy and kindness. All the dishes served were excellent and carefully prepared. Honorable mention for the lobster sauce: special.

09/08/2025: Attention to detail, dishes carefully crafted and executed to perfection. Superb wait staff. Everything was delicious, from appetizers to dessert. Compliments to the entire staff!

13/11/2025: A restaurant on the outskirts of Taormina. Well located. Prices are below average for Taormina. Friendly staff and good food.

16/10/2025: I really loved The Cherry Bar and visited a few times on my recent trip to Taormina. Such a relaxing little place with outdoor seating and good service. Antonio is so friendly and accommodating and Stephanie is the best! The chef makes the best Lasagna, so light and delicious! Drinks were delicious and generous! I also made sure to pick out a few fine pastries to enjoy later before I left. A must visit on your way thru Taormina!

20/10/2025: I've been to many pizzerias in Milazzo. I'm a regular and almost never change places. One evening, when the pizzeria I usually go to was closed, we stopped here. I can't say enough good things!!! It was packed outside and more than half the dining room inside, being a Saturday night. They came right away to bring us drinks. They took our order shortly after, and the pizzas arrived in less than half an hour, especially considering the place was packed and takeout was always on the way... A small discount on the final bill too. Very fragrant pizza and light dough. Very well topped! Congratulations guys, keep it up!! See you soon!!!!

27/09/2025: Super delicious, inexpensive pizza. We ate there once and picked up a pizza once, which was prepared very quickly and cooked to perfection. Definitely recommend it!
