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.

13/05/2026: My wife and I had dinner last week, savoring the house seafood appetizer, consisting of nine different dishes, each more delicious and tantalizing than the last. We then ordered mixed grill and fried calamari, both excellent. The Sicilian cannoli and mandarin sorbet rounded out a five-star dinner. The friendliness of the owner and staff was also excellent, as was the quality/price ratio. We will definitely be back!

09/05/2026: It's always a wonderful experience. The food is delicious, from the seafood appetizers to the pizza. Every course is meticulously prepared, down to the smallest detail, both in appearance and, above all, in flavor. The prices are truly excellent. The staff is friendly and always available.

11/06/2026: A bar known for its almond liqueur. But there are other things to see as well...

09/06/2026: Me and my fiance visited this particular bat for just 2 glasses of almond "wine". The lady serving us was very polite, friendly and professional. Almond "wine" really good and in very good price, and after spending so little money we even got a little gift (what a surprise!!!). This place is really worth to visit, highly recommend!!! Grazie mille

17/05/2026: Everything was very good, the place was also beautiful. It's a shame that the cashier is a nice lady, but she has an angry, unsociable face. The waiters, on the other hand, were very nice.

04/05/2026: Impeccable service, 10 out of 10.

07/05/2026: We had a horrible experience at the restaurant. I went to Castelmola many times and everywhere people were friendly. Elena, our server was annoyed just by the fact we entered with 3 children. The place was quiet and I said we're going to sit at the last table outside just to make sure children won't bother anyone. The question 'What do you want?' is unacceptable even if English isn't the first language for someone, but she asked also in Italian : Cosa volete?! in a hurry like we were on her way in a quiet place.... My 4 years old daughter was tired so she lifted up the plastic table cover and I told her to put it down. Elena in the other hand has told her off; stop it! Now your family can't eat here because of you!!! She looked at her so badly even though she stopped when I asked her to sit still. The pizza Margherita was okay and the 2 aperols as well, but the service....never again. My card didn't work contactless and she kept shouting it's NEGATIVE PAYMENT, NEGATIVE NEGATIVE....I said we can insert the the card of course and then it worked....never again, never!!!! Elena, educate yourself!!!

07/05/2026: Great food ( the bruschetta was one, if not the best i ever had), great service. If you are on that mountain, eat there!

14/05/2026: From Catania, we go to eat at Luciana's at least once a year, because we love sampling the owner's handcrafted delicacies. After a visit to Tindari, our next stop is San Piero Patti, a village surrounded by green hazelnut groves. Here, you'll find Luciana's trattoria, where the warm welcome, friendly service, and authentic, affordable food offer a truly memorable dining experience.

09/05/2026: Beautiful location, delicious meals and excellent, hospitable service.

03/05/2026: A true Italian atmosphere. I highly recommend it, very reasonable prices, and excellent service. 😀

02/05/2026: A true trattoria like it once was, good, simple dishes, but precise and balanced in taste, very kind, welcoming staff, fantastic quality and price, excellent for those who travel often and have a lot of expenses. Highly recommended.

18/05/2026: Friendly service. A beautiful terrace makes this restaurant special. Good pasta dishes.

16/05/2026: It was recommended by our local host, Isabella. Casa Niclodi was easily the best meal of our entire trip—we’re still talking about it days later. Every dish was incredible, and you can really feel the care behind the food. The service made it even better—so warm, genuine, and attentive without being over the top. It just felt special from start to finish. Don’t miss this place.

05/05/2026: Amazing little restaurant tucked off the street. Amazing service with knowledgeable servers who are happy to explain all the dishes. We had a beautiful meal here and they even catered to our little boy who is only 11 months old. We especially loved the sea bass Sicilian style. Highly recommend!

04/05/2026: People loving people. Excellent food Ambience

21/04/2026: A super friendly and family welcome. The food is exceptional. A must-visit address at the entrance to Antillo

12/04/2026: Beautiful place in every way: food, service, and scenery. The owner is very kind. I highly recommend trying this place.

02/05/2026: In a seaside location, you'll find fresh fish, an excellent lunch, delicious appetizers, first courses, and second courses. The service is also excellent. The owner's welcome is warm...we'll definitely be back and I highly recommend it. Congratulations!!!!!

02/05/2026: We had a great lunch, and especially with my celiac son. Highly recommended, and very kind too.

10/01/2026: NOT FOR CELIACS: Little attention to celiacs, my son was very ill despite constant requests for attention to avoid contamination.

22/12/2025: We tried several seafood dishes, and everything was delicious, perfectly cooked, without overpowering flavors or overdone sauces. The ingredients were visibly fresh and well-prepared. The service was pleasant, friendly, and attentive throughout the meal, yet not intrusive. The atmosphere is pleasant and relaxed, perfect for a quiet meal. Everything ran smoothly, without long waits. It's not a fancy place, but it exudes care and expertise. I left satisfied and with an overall very positive impression.

09/06/2026: Defiantly my first go-to restaurant when in Messina!

29/05/2026: Excellent quality raw materials, processed with great respect to obtain unique dishes based on stockfish. Waiting times are adequate for the dishes requested. Friendly and professional staff. I couldn't have asked for more from Romagna. We've been back three times in two weeks. Thank you and see you soon. Giuseppe and Lorena Mangano

03/05/2026: I had a great time, the food was excellent, and they accommodated my needs. The service was perfect, and I felt very welcomed thanks to Antonio (the waiter), who was very kind and polite. The place is very welcoming and beautiful, and I will definitely be back.

02/05/2026: We had a really good time, both in terms of service and atmosphere, and for the quality of the product.

08/09/2025: I ate excellent raw ham, although the portion was certainly not large. The staff was friendly and knowledgeable. The only flaw is that the restaurant isn't air-conditioned.

06/09/2025: Great relaxing day at the Ipanema Guess, attentive staff, a charming place, I recommend it without hesitation
