I migliori ristoranti di cucina italiana in Messina

08/06/2026: Very old and outdated; we had an aperitif served in a latte macchiato glass, along with day-old chips and nuts that were already soft and damp. There are better options.

01/06/2026: Reservations close at 12:30, but you can still add your name to the list and wait for tables to become available. Overall, a good place for a quick lunch on the beach without having to dismantle your umbrella and everything else. Food. The salad is good, but they could be a little more generous. The bread isn't very crispy and has too much crumb. Very good coffee. Friendly staff.

02/07/2026: I ordered takeout. Very low quality. The owners are welcoming, but that's not enough...

02/06/2026: The food was amazing and the staff was very friendly. There is gluten free options that also taste great. The staff did not speak english but still the ordering was very easy.

02/06/2026: The staff's behavior is absolutely beyond reproach. At 1:30 PM, they told us there was an hour-long wait, so we said, "Shall we take a walk and come back?" The response was, "Yes, we'll be waiting." We arrived at 2:20 PM, and a young man told us it was too late to be seated... Luckily, we were warmly welcomed by another well-known restaurant in the area, but I don't think it's a fair way to treat customers.

02/06/2026: We found ourselves at this place and had a really good dinner. The prices are also worth the money. We'll be back.

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!

24/05/2026: The famous aperidrinkami is delicious and plentiful, with cold cuts as well as small portions of lasagna, piadina, and other items. A must-try.

10/05/2026: Once upon a time, with its Aperidrinkami, it was one of the best aperitifs in the area. Today, unfortunately, it's become quite mediocre. The quality has dropped significantly. The worst thing, however, is hearing the (I believe) owner speak arrogantly to the waiters, even in front of customers. It's a truly unpleasant scene and gives the impression of an environment that lacks respect for the people who work there.

08/06/2026: The location is beautiful, with a stunning view. The staff is attentive, and the prices are quite reasonable. The pizzas are excellent, and the restaurant is more than good. It's uncomfortable when it's hot, as the space (under a large awning) is poorly ventilated.

12/04/2026: If I could, I'd give it a zero, and I'm really disappointed. Two years ago, we came here for fish, and it was all very good. Today, we brought friends back, and it was a total disappointment. They didn't have anything, so we asked the chef for advice. They brought us an appetizer with fish covered in vinegar, and two fish, which were also good. We ordered the house wine, which is a compliment to say it's gassy, ​​and a bitter. The price, €35 per person, was crazy and pointless for what we ate (so little), and we went home hungry. Furthermore, nothing was specified on the receipt; there were several €50 charges, which, despite asking, were never explained to us. Highly not recommended; please avoid, or better yet, know that by going, you're trying your luck.

26/10/2025: Very bad. For a piece of bread with provola cheese, today at the October stand in Floresta, they initially charged 4 euros and after a long wait, they demanded 5, taking advantage without restraint and without a receipt. The provola cheese melted inside the measly piece of bread looked like rubber. 🤮

08/09/2025: Great atmosphere, new furnishings, welcoming. Tasty, well-cooked food, generous portions, and excellent service. Very pleasant, polite, and friendly staff. The price is right!

13/05/2026: Bought a great salad roll. Ordered two Americano coffees. Asked if we could also have milk. ‘Non!!’ How hard can a small side of milk be?

23/04/2026: Everything is good and high quality, with medium-high prices... the staff is friendly, knowledgeable, and helpful. You'll find quality, typical Sicilian products. Homemade cuisine. See you next time.

25/04/2026: We got pasta with salmon and pasta with shrimp, as well as a pizza. The pasta with salmon was so salty it was almost inedible. The pasta with shrimp—the shrimp had a distinctly unpleasant taste. On the other hand, the pizza was really good. This is not a place I will come back to.

02/03/2026: The people who work here know their job. The pizza is very good, among the best in Milazzo. I celebrated my birthday here years ago. Everyone was so kind.

07/06/2026: Once significantly higher, and then making a 7-month-old baby pay for the cover charge... Well...

03/06/2026: Excellent pizza. I'll definitely be back.

09/05/2026: On the evening of May 1st, I had dinner with friends at this creperie. I found the waitress rude, and because there was a hair in my crepe, they didn't replace it or even apply a discount to my bill. I definitely won't be returning.

27/01/2026: We were cheated in the middle of the day, simply because we were tourists. They added three dishes to the bill right in front of us, even though we only ordered two. I do not recommend this place to anyone.

10/07/2026: The bar is quite dated, with a dirty and smelly bathroom already at 8 a.m. The cleanliness of the bathroom and the bar interior especially needs to be improved. The waitresses are quite friendly and helpful. The place needs some updating.

07/06/2026: One of the few bars in the city that truly showcases Messina's pastry and ice cream traditions. The granitas are top-notch, especially when the brioche is fresh.

14/10/2025: We went to La Lupara for an evening meal. We had the grilled squid and grilled prawns, plus a couple of cannoli and a few beers. The owners are lovely people and offer great food and company. The restaurant was full of locals, with a great atmosphere. Well worth a visit 😊😊👏👏

03/10/2025: Very-very good service and exellent food! Thank You!

14/08/2025: We chose this restaurant at random, based on the menu found online and the reviews, and I must say we made the right choice... a wonderful terrace with a breathtaking view, top-quality food, and excellent service. All in a quiet atmosphere, with good background music and no intrusiveness. Highly recommended!

14/08/2025: It was a great restaurant. Beautiful food and view and wine! Recommend highly! Thank you!!
