I migliori ristoranti di cucina italiana in Messina

14/03/2026: We were drawn in by the cozy atmosphere and live music. The service, the food, the prices, and especially the musical entertainment – ​​each was worth 5 stars. The guests sang and danced along... a fantastic evening.

09/01/2026: I went there with my parents, I don't know if it was because it was winter, but the food was poor quality, and the staff practically sat with us at the table. The price was ridiculous: €102, with a grilled zucchini costing €15. Tourism is fine, but let's not exaggerate. Not to mention the pizza, which was clearly bought from the pizzeria next door and arrived cold. (Made right before our eyes.) And I forgot about the burnt breaded swordfish. The only positive note was the octopus sandwich, which was good but nothing special.

15/02/2026: I had the pizza and it was good, but with too much crust that I didn't eat, I would like to make a suggestion: using part of the crust you could make a slightly larger pizza.

12/02/2026: I recently visited Comparello Bello with a few friends, and we honestly had a really good time. The place had a relaxed, welcoming vibe great for a casual hangout where you can just sit, talk, and enjoy your meal without feeling rushed.We ordered burgers, and the food was delicious. Everything came out hot and well put together, and it felt like the kind of comfort food that hits the spot when you’re out with friends. If you’re a burger person, this is definitely a solid option to try.But the best part of our visit was the service especially our waitress. She spoke English, which made things so much easier, and she was genuinely helpful, kind, and sweet the whole time. That type of warm service really changes the entire experience. I strongly recommend Comparello Bello, and you can also reserve online, which is super convenient.

03/03/2026: Very nice place Top-notch service The food is very good

04/01/2026: The wait was very long (they served us about an hour after we arrived). The food was good, the desserts fantastic.

29/10/2025: What a delight. Appetizers, first courses, roast meats like mutton, buinissimi, and fresh fries—it's like lunch at grandma's house. The owner and staff are very kind and courteous.

23/10/2025: Went here for lunch on a weekday, the place was practically empty as it is a part of a 5 star hotel. The outdoor dining terrace is bang on the beach with the beautiful mazzaro cove in full sight. The service levels were very high and they do charge a 15 percent service charge for the same. The food we ordered was routine fare like tuna tartare, a vegetarian pizza and pasta norma. Everything was as it should be, but nothing stood out as exceptional. Would recommend the place for a lazy lunch while visiting isolabella.

16/10/2025: We went as a group for a birthday. I chose the restaurant. We were all impressed by the charming setting and the impeccable service, with waiters who spoke French. But when the food arrived, we were all disappointed. Given the exorbitant prices, I felt really uncomfortable. Go there if you want to enjoy a pleasant setting and good service, but if you want to eat well, don't go. The dishes really lack flavor—you wouldn't think you were in Italy, which is a shame.

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.

08/11/2025: Excellent food, both meat and fish, and also pizzas.

26/09/2025: Good-quality typical Sicilian dishes, with fast, courteous service. The restaurant is very well-maintained and clean. Affordable prices.

09/02/2026: Exceptional Piparelle. Congratulations from Portovenere.

25/12/2025: We ordered a pistachio panettone, and it was an absolute hit. By far the best dessert at the table. My compliments, truly! 😍😍👍👍👌😉

12/08/2025: Great experience. Beautiful and quiet place. Exceptional food. Always attentive, friendly, and efficient staff. I highly recommend it.

03/03/2026: Exceptional pizza! 5 well-deserved stars.

24/12/2025: Delicious food and service. The owner and staff are attentive and incredibly friendly. Today there was a variety of antipasti, delicious fish, and to finish, lots of desserts, each accompanied by a little story. Tomorrow I'll be back for pizza when the wood-fired oven is lit. Highly recommended!

25/09/2025: Delicious and affordable, with a great ocean view. The staff, though they don't speak English, are very friendly. Highly recommended! A true Chinese person who doesn't lie to other Chinese people.

08/09/2025: Beautiful place right on the beach. Service a little slow, but probably because it's the end of the season. Pizza was so-so, a little undercooked.

13/10/2025: A splendid location on the Sant'Agata Militello seafront, the beautifully appointed interior dining room reaches its peak beauty in the summer months, with its garden and swimming pool offering a splendid view of the Aeolian Islands and fairytale sunsets. We've been here several times, for lunch, dinner, and even for our wedding ceremony. On each occasion, the food has been impeccable, thanks to the mastery of Chef Biagio and his staff, both in preparation and presentation, and with beautifully balanced flavors. The owner, Carmela, is excellent, always attentive to detail and the service is attentive and courteous. The price is absolutely in line with the offerings. Highly recommended.

12/10/2025: Wonderful location, impeccable service, everyone was friendly and kind, especially Mrs. Carmela who satisfied us in everything.

04/01/2026: Cettina is very nice and kind! The brioche with ice cream is delicious...

29/12/2025: Very good location and service. Our waitress Maria was very nice and friendly. Great music, negroni was phantastic!

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.

02/12/2025: I wanted to try it more than once to see if it was an isolated incident. The tomato on the focaccia was completely sour (happened several times) and there was almost no mozzarella/cheese (just a hint). Plus, the place was cold. It's a shame because the place is nice, but under these conditions, we won't be coming back.

27/09/2025: Upon entering the restaurant, we were greeted unwelcome by a lady who, when we requested a table we'd previously reserved over the phone, exclaimed, "I don't have a table, wait there!" (all in Sicilian). Once we secured a table, the quality of service improved. We ordered a simple mixed fried dish and the traditional focaccia, which was very good. One downside was the large number of animals, given that we were sitting in the outdoor area.
