I migliori ristoranti di cucina italiana in Messina

23/11/2025: We stayed in Giardini Naxos for 6 nights and ate here twice. I wish we had eaten here more. Fabulous food. Pastas & pizzas. Wonderful service and they went out of their way to cater to my fussy teenager. Such reasonable prices. Highly recommended.

25/10/2025: Not a bad restaurant. Excellent location, on a quiet street next to an archaeological park. Very good service. The food isn't bad, but it's still average.

11/11/2025: Very friendly staff, we didn’t speak the same language, but we understood each other. Food is so delicious, I think the best cous-cous salad ever!

02/10/2025: We grabbed two sandwiches at Stuzzikosa in the morning before our boat ride to Lipari. It is conveniently located about 3 blocks from the ferry dock. The two people that helped us were extremely friendly and were patient with our "broken" Italian and spoke to us in English. The sandwiches had very good meat, cheese, and fresh components. The cost was super reasonable (4.50 Euro each) and the sandwich was more than filling. I ordered the Pizzicoso and was very happy with my choice. I am definitely considering stopping at Stuzzikosa on the return trip from Lipari. This has been the best sandwich I have had in my two weeks in Italy!

06/10/2025: Super friendly service. The ladies are attentive and friendly, despite the large number of customers. The ice cream is incredibly delicious. The best I've had in Sicily so far. The cakes look delicious and are a popular item there. I tried the tiramisu, which was very good.

20/07/2025: Simply top!!! I'm only sorry I discovered it so recently!! Amazing ice cream and pastry shop!! 😋😍

07/12/2025: I visited Tratoria Rapisardi yesterday. It's a wonderful family atmosphere. The young owner is a fantastic guy.

01/12/2025: Entering Trattoria Rapisardi was like stepping into the past: a past made of authentic flavors, genuine aromas, and family-style recipes. Chef Andrea Gentile perfectly embodies this philosophy: simplicity, passion, and a smile ready to describe each dish as if it were a little journey into the most authentic Sicily.

27/11/2025: I cant leave review on their food as the restaurant was closed, the resturant hasn't bothered to update their Google operating hours.. we have travelled from Taormina thinking to check the beautiful view enjoy good after, but we were left disappointed. We understand that it is off season times ( end of Nov 2025) but at least they should have made an update as there are still people travelling.

25/11/2025: A must! stunning location, homemade authentic Italian 🇮🇹 food - don’t hesitate! best food on that rock 💫

20/12/2025: A beautiful, welcoming place, beautifully decorated for the Christmas holidays. I went with my girlfriend for a quick lunch. Even though the place was packed and we hadn't booked, we were greeted with great kindness upon entry. We had lunch with a shared platter and two delicious first courses of the day, everything excellent and beautifully plated. I'd like to highlight the great courtesy and exquisite service of the dining room staff, especially the waitresses who seated us and served us at our table. They were truly kind and professional. Compliments to Toronero...we'll definitely be back with the family.

19/12/2025: Excellent food. Welcoming place. Polite, knowledgeable, and friendly staff.

03/12/2025: Very pleasant experience and very good pizza! I had the zuccola and the dough was very light. I highly recommend it🫶🏻

03/12/2025: Delicious pizza!! Super friendly staff and fabulous pizza Very welcoming place, perfect for an evening with friends Highly recommended

18/11/2025: A few Sundays ago, I forgot to review this little restaurant on the Giardini Naxos seafront, in the less crowded part of the town. My partner, our dog, and I sat at the outdoor tables, since the weather here still allowed it. We ordered seafood linguine and a sea bass main course, and the sight alone was spectacular. Everything was truly excellent, both in terms of the freshness of the ingredients and the balance of the salt. Of course, before leaving, we complimented the chef.

30/10/2025: Great food with seating out on the sea front as well as the square next to it with shade under the trees. Food was great. Good service. The only thing was ordering seafood pasta I would prefer I didn't have to spend 10 minutes deshelling I would prefer the chef do that rather than me.

02/10/2025: A restaurant worth a detour. Run for 21 years by the couple Manuel, in the kitchen, and Eliana, the hostess. The digital menu showcases beautiful dishes, including antipasti, pronk, and secondi. The dolce are also highly recommended. We started with ravioli filled with fish, presented in a lovely fish sauce. We also had linguine with pink prawns. It came with a superb sauce and beautifully balanced in flavor. We continued with the crispy fresh fish of the day. Perfectly cooked! The same was true for the Scottish steak tagliata. It came with a green salad with some Parmesan and oil. Delicious! We finished with a cannelono filled with ricotta and a warm flan with a liquid pistachio filling. A delicious bottle of Grillo accompanied it, a beautiful white with character. Everything was served with humor and expert advice. A truly memorable place.

30/09/2025: A pleasant surprise. Excellent food, from preparation to presentation. Welcoming atmosphere and a kind hostess.

01/11/2025: We've eaten there four times... and we could eat there every day. We felt very comfortable there. We were always warmly welcomed. The food was the best we've ever had. The team there is like a family. Thank you for the culinary journey at your restaurant.

01/11/2025: The food was excellent and the staff were friendly. It was the best restaurant I've tried recently.

09/12/2025: Excellent place, wonderful staff and owners! The Goti appetizer is spectacular, and the meat melts in your mouth.

08/12/2025: Nice welcoming place, very kind and prepared staff, good food, I recommend it

05/10/2025: Dinner with 5 🕺🕺💃💃💃+1👶 Food: It's okay and gets 4x⭐️ Service: It's okay and gets 3.5⭐️ "It would be nice if the meal, 2 pizzas, and the other dishes (fish and pasta) were served at the same time." Atmosphere: It's clean and seems thoughtfully decorated. PS: You should make a reservation in advance.

01/10/2025: Fabulous place. We had pasta, vongole and prawn. Both dishes were amazing! Best vongole I've had whilst travelling around Sicily. Nice ambience, clean and very attentive staff. Highly recommend 👌

20/11/2025: A perfect restaurant, just a six-minute walk from the center. You get great value for your money, high quality, and attentive service. Highly recommended!

09/11/2025: With high hopes from other reviews, we visited for dinner. The mussels for starter were tasty. The lobster linguine has maybe the meat of a claw at the most with no hint of a lobster tasting sauce. The pizza dough is dry and tasteless. However, the waiter seemed to be nice.

29/10/2025: Excellent hamburger and a great atmosphere! The service was impeccable, with the typical Italian smiles and friendliness! Thank you!

27/10/2025: Excellent food, very good fries with their three sauces. Also their burgers. The service was very good, too, the staff were very friendly.

17/10/2025: Where you think it's just a dream, it's actually reality. Villa Alba, the tree houses, is a truly splendid place. It feels like a fairytale, the breathtaking sunsets change the scenery every time, all it takes is a cloud and everything takes on a different shape. The kindness and helpfulness... is immense. I've had contact with Mrs. Tiziana, who is extremely kind, courteous, and available, even to grant unexpected wishes. I'm absolutely in love with this place. Highly recommended.

14/10/2025: This is the second time we've been guests at an event at this location... the first was for a wedding, where I was blown away by the beauty and meticulous care of the gardens that served as the backdrop. Eight years later, for a baptism, I noticed that the attention to detail and the location haven't changed (perhaps improved). Everything was perfect, the staff was friendly and attentive. My expectations for the food were high, but they were fully met. What can I say? Overall, in my opinion, Villa Alba is the best place for events and ceremonies right now. Congratulations
