I migliori ristoranti di cucina italiana in Messina

05/10/2025: Great location, delicious food, friendly staff - you can't ask for more!

21/09/2025: Excellent food, very tasty! The staff and owner are very kind. Always a pleasure to spend Sunday lunch with you 👌👏👏

01/11/2025: Very tasty food, friendly service. I recommend it.

08/10/2025: Always very friendly, and super fast in serving the food. The dishes are made with fresh products and very plentiful.

06/01/2026: I stayed at this agriturismo with my family and we had a truly wonderful time. The food was excellent and the staff were welcoming and made sure we had everything we needed. We truly felt at home. We recommend it to anyone looking for a different, relaxing day; we'll definitely be back.

04/01/2026: A place surrounded by nature, excellent traditional cuisine and kind staff... We will return!!!

05/01/2026: We ordered a salad and specifically told our server we wanted no meat in the salad, as one of us is a vegetarian, which he confirmed and yet there was ham in the salad which we noticed after a few bites. When we pointed it out to the server, he took the salad, removed the ham and brought it back to us, even though it was now tainted with meat. We sent the salad back, after which our server was quite rude. They even had the audacity to charge us for the salad and when I pointed this out to the server, he just ignored us.

10/12/2025: The restaurant is located on Milazzo's main street, a short distance from the port. The dishes offered are enticing, and the ones I chose (see photo) were nothing short of exceptional. All the ingredients have an intense flavor. The meat is cooked to perfection. The staff is friendly and always ready to accommodate guests' requests. Highly recommended. Parking is limited, and there are free or paid street parking spaces.

30/10/2025: Authentic, traditional Italian cuisine. Matheo has been running the place for over 50 years. It's well worth the experience. I highly recommend it.

12/10/2025: Nice and by the sea but I only limited myself to having a coffee 🤩

02/11/2025: The pastry shop is currently located on Via Maregrosso, but the products are always good. We had a problem with one product, and they immediately resent it. It's excellent, as always! Thank you so much for your professionalism and the quality of the products! Highly recommended.

14/10/2025: The real One !!! La Vera . IRRERA

10/10/2025: Excellent gym, spacious, with cutting-edge equipment, all qualified instructors who know what they are doing (something hard to find in other facilities). 5 stars and more are well deserved.

30/06/2025: I've been going to Palestra Palamodè for 3 years and I love it! The facility is clean, the equipment is modern, and the staff is always helpful and knowledgeable. The atmosphere is motivating, and the classes are well-organized. I recommend it to anyone looking for serious training and results!

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!

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.

04/01/2026: Welcoming staff and good food for a nice aperitif

13/09/2025: Complete rip-off. For two glasses of wine, a bottle of which costs €20, I paid €16. It's a shame, but there are honest restaurants.

04/01/2026: While visiting Santo Stefano di Camastra, we were looking for a typical restaurant where we could sample traditional dishes. A Google search led us to the "Tri Quarti e na Gazzusa" restaurant. The restaurant is medium-sized, with about ten tables, and furnished in a rustic style. It's decorated with photos of various characters and local ceramics. A kind and friendly lady welcomed us and promptly brought us our menus. The service was quite fast, and our dishes arrived within minutes. For lunch, we ordered: a rustic appetizer with cured meats and cheeses, excellent and plentiful; two different first courses, tagliatelle with Nebrodi black pig ragù (delicious!) and ravioli with swordfish and lime (delicious!); finally, we finished the meal with an excellent grilled meat. Afterward, I didn't have room for dessert 😂 I don't know if we'll return to Santo Stefano, but if we do, we'll definitely return to "Tri Quarti"!

21/11/2025: We returned after a year, and stopped specifically for lunch. I'd call it a little restaurant, something more than the usual trattoria. A small but well-organized place, family-run, with plenty of courtesy and kindness. We found the same style and the same home-style cooking, always well-presented, excellent, and plentiful. Good, high-quality food, generous portions, and the mixed grill made with quality meats. What more can I say? We'll definitely stop by as soon as we're passing through.

18/07/2025: We only tried an excellent granita with brioche. The cream was excellent. The service was fairly quick. It would be nice to install some air conditioning in the covered building overlooking the street.

18/07/2025: We chose this restaurant/bar due to special needs, especially with my celiac son. It's really hard to find a well-equipped and, above all, well-prepared restaurant. There's always the fear of contamination. Fate brought us to this place, where we were welcomed by Laura, a very kind woman who took care of my son and, in fact, all of us. We ate wonderfully. The bar is also well-stocked with gluten-free products, a joy for us. We truly felt at home. Next time we're in the area, we'll definitely be back.

19/10/2025: I had to stop by by chance. The place is definitely not touristy (I understood from the local views). But the atmosphere is really nice, the food is good :)

13/09/2025: I was drawn in by the reviews, but... No kidding! The place is very old, very dirty, perhaps not renovated in 40 years, with terrible decor. The bathroom is shameful, all broken and dirty. I can't even imagine the food. The prices are low, but the food isn't up to par. The only decent thing is the pizza. We ordered a kind of tagliata served 1980s-style with a balsamic vinegar glaze in a zigzag pattern. It was old, tasteless, and stringy, and cost 14 euros! The mixed grill was decent, but I wouldn't recommend it to anyone! I'm sorry, places like this should just close down in 2025.

22/11/2025: The "Grigliata" pizza was delicious, with fresh ingredients and cooked to perfection. I'll be back with great pleasure.

21/11/2025: One of the best pizza in messina. Highly recommend it!
