I migliori ristoranti di cucina italiana in Messina

17/08/2025: We returned to this restaurant 15 years after our first visit, and it was a great experience. We chose the fish menu; the food was fresh and well-cooked, the wine was excellent, and the staff was friendly and knowledgeable. Excellent value for money. We'll definitely be back, perhaps to try the meat or seafood aperitifs...they look very inviting.

13/08/2025: A typical place that combines a gelateria, a rotisserie, and a trattoria. The trattoria area is a bit unusual, but I can assure you the food is truly delicious. We had excellent mussels, a mixed fry, and swordfish and salmon skewers—all delicious. I especially had a plate of fish-filled ravioli with a sauce of octopus, tomatoes, capers, and olives—it was exquisite. The price was very fair. Recommended. We'll definitely be back ❤️

19/05/2025: Excellent coffee granita, cream of the right consistency and sweetness. Simple, neighborhood, welcoming atmosphere

14/02/2025: I always have an aperitif. They're courteous and kind, which is why I always come back.

29/04/2025: Siamo stati in questa pizzeria per una serata tra amici, attratti dall'offerta del giro pizza con bevande a volontà, e ne siamo rimasti davvero soddisfatti! Il servizio è stato veloce e cortese, il personale sempre disponibile a portarci nuove varietà di pizza, tutte calde e ben farcite. Le pizze erano gustose e ben cotte, con un impasto leggero e digeribile. Ampia la scelta dei gusti: dalle classiche alle più fantasiose, ce n’era per tutti i palati. Le bevande, comprese nell'offerta, venivano servite senza lesinare, un plus non da poco! Ottimo rapporto qualità-prezzo, ideale per gruppi numerosi e serate informali. Torneremo sicuramente!

01/04/2025: Very good pizzas, very nice staff, excellent music... Friday and Sunday are fun....

23/07/2025: We've been eating pizzas from Pizzeria Roma for years now, and nothing has ever disappointed me, not even the Margherita, which in its simplicity is truly delicious. A few weeks ago, I saw the new entry "CAPRICIOSA 4.0" on social media. In my opinion, it's a pizza like no other, I'd say superb, for my tastes, obviously. It's not a revisited Capricciosa, which is hard to describe. The superior quality artichokes finish with a hint of truffle oil—in short, it's worth trying.

06/03/2025: Very organised, excellent pizza

11/08/2025: Locale molto carino con vista mare sul piccolo golfo di San Gregorio, accoglienza calorosa del titolare che ci ha spiegato i vari piatti del giorno. Pesce freschissimo, sapori veramente autentici, eccellente l’arrosto di alici ed anche l’insalata di polpo. Tra i primi ho preferito optare per i paccheri allo scoglio con vongole calamari e cozze e tranci di pomodoro. A mio parere, un piatto semplice ma riuscitissimo. Ottimi anche le pietanze degli altri commensali in particolare i totani fritti e il capone arrosto. Infine , molto buono il parfait di mandorla e consigliatissima la granita di limone con gelsi. Servizio eccellente.

11/08/2025: Pesce freschissimo cucinano alla perfezione da Santino. Bisogna farsi consigliare per non sbagliare. Sarde ricciole caponi totani pescati questa mattina. Polipo grandioso. Parlano le foto allegate. Personale di sala gentile e competente con Tony e Calogero impegnatissimi. Il tutto con la supervisione dell intramontabile MATTEO che dà l impronta al locale storico da decenni. Ve lo consiglio

20/07/2025: Food was disqusting.Sea food rizzoto with sot taste and sea food,small portion.Service not Bad.All together,humalitiating!

10/07/2025: Ristorante suggestivo vista mare dove e' possibile gustare del pesce fresco e dei piatti semplici na curati in ogni dettaglio... il panorama e' mozzafiato... si può trascorrere una serata davvero rilassante!

28/07/2025: The worst coffees and cappuccinos I've ever had! Burnt coffee and watered-down cappuccino. Avoid going there, or try it yourself.

29/06/2025: Kind and helpful staff, I had a toast, it was GIANT, and I spent the right amount, I was really happy because in Novara I spent double and the Toast was not good, I recommend it, the coffee is also good.

05/07/2025: Very welcoming place. Excellent and fantastic service... The food is a real goodness of quality and above all genuine.. The owner was very kind and helpful but above all he knows how to advise you. And the cook is a show in the dishes and obviously courteous and kind..... We will return.......

06/04/2025: Kind and friendly people, excellent food, I recommend it to everyone

12/06/2025: About restaurant , does not value the money . Flavorless raw fish, carpaccio and pasta! lack of personality in the preparations, joyless food and not good energie from de maitre .

04/04/2025: From the hotel room to breakfast to dinner - everything is just right here. The staff is extremely friendly and helpful. Our room is bright, spacious, with a beautiful terrace. An absolute insider tip.

27/07/2025: I'm delighted to return to this restaurant in Malfa, on the island of Salina, and it's always a confirmation! This time, I had the pleasure of tasting the truly exceptional scialatielli with red shrimp and pistachios, fragrant and beautifully balanced. The seafood spaghetti was simply perfect: the flavor of the sea in every bite. I was also surprised by the pasta with baked ricotta and chili pepper: creamy, flavorful, with a balanced spicy touch that made it irresistible. A simple yet winning combination, demonstrating the chef's care and passion for local cuisine. I already knew the restaurant for its well-crafted cocktails and creamy gelato, but this experience also truly impressed me from a gastronomic perspective. Considering the high prices in Salina, I can say that this place was a real discovery, especially for the high quality of the ingredients. Highly recommended for those seeking authentic flavors, a warm welcome, and quality. I will definitely be back!

27/07/2025: Torno con piacere in questo locale a Malfa, sull'isola di Salina, e ogni volta è una conferma! Questa volta ho avuto il piacere di gustare degli scialatielli con gamberi rossi e pistacchio davvero eccezionali, profumati e molto equilibrati. Gli spaghetti ai frutti di mare, poi, erano semplicemente perfetti: il sapore del mare in ogni boccone. A sorprendermi è stata anche una pasta con ricotta infornata e peperoncino: cremosa, saporita, con un tocco piccante equilibrato che la rendeva irresistibile. Una combinazione semplice ma vincente, che dimostra la cura e la passione dello chef per la cucina del territorio. Già conoscevo il locale per i cocktail ben fatti e il gelato cremosissimo, ma questa esperienza mi ha davvero colpito anche dal punto di vista gastronomico. Considerando i prezzi alti di Salina, posso dire che questo posto è stata una vera scoperta, in particolare per la qualità altissima delle materie prime. Consigliatissimo per chi cerca sapori autentici, accoglienza e qualità. Ci tornerò sicuramente!

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.

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.

17/07/2025: Il ristorante conferma l’alta qualità che lo contraddistingue da anni. Menù ben assortito per tutte le portate, molto curate e con sapori mediterranei ben definiti. Servizio inappuntabile, senza attese snervanti. Il personale di sala (tutti giovani!) gentilissimo, pronto ed efficiente. Prezzi in linea con la qualità e la localizzazione.

17/07/2025: Siamo a Panarea, la più glamour delle sette, nonché la perla. La nostra scelta è ricaduta in questo storico e iconico ristorante dell’isola, dove si respira aria di mondanità e sapori autentici. Servizio lodevole e prezzi rapportati…come un po’ da tutti, ma qui sei appagato !

08/06/2025: I’m so sad. Everything was very bad.

27/05/2025: An experience to forget and share with as many people as possible, first and foremost the motorcycle club group I belong to..... Ridiculous amount of food and questionable quality...... The second course of meat at the measly price of 18 euros included three small pieces of tough meat. The whole thing was crowned by a salty bill.....

06/07/2025: Fairly pricy for the quality. Very sweet cocktail despite saying not sweet please. Table cleared and asked if we wanted dessert while still waiting for main course to arrive. Pleasant enough setting and some friendly staff but have had better meals and service for less in Sicily and even in Taormina.

11/06/2025: Good service but the prices are too high and the portions too small. The restaurant was 75% empty at dinner time.

07/08/2025: I stopped by the Plaza bar by chance for pizza, and to my surprise, it was excellent, not burnt, and had a great flavor. I was truly satisfied, and I'll be back with my wife.

09/07/2025: Questionable from a culinary perspective. Pasta was out of stock, some pizzas were unavailable. The pizzas served looked like frozen goods – no one ate more than half. Mozzarella salad came with jelly. No comment. Okay for ice cream and a drink. Better to go somewhere else for food.
