I migliori ristoranti di cucina italiana in Messina

29/10/2025: Wonderful authentic hotel with Sicilian spirit and energy!!!

26/10/2025: Hotel da Peppe is in desperate need of renovation. You arrive at a hotel crammed with old stuff. When it rains heavily, some rooms get wet, so you have to move. The rooms are more like storage rooms. The food is good, the best thing about the entire hotel. The location on the beach is great.

21/10/2025: I don't think I've been more offended than this experience! We were recommended this place by a sweet shop owner down the street. We arrived at 7:15 pm and asked the waiter (a tall, thin guy with black hair and glasses) when they close. He said 7:30 pm, which we knew wasn't true. He then said he doesn't understand Italian, so I spoke English to him. Then he said he didn't understand English. He hands me his phone with Google Translate, and it was "English to Italian." He was clearly jerking me around and didn't want to serve us. This was petty and childish. I don't think I've ever been more offended than this experience!

14/10/2025: This has to be one of the best Bars in Salina. A MUST GO!!!! Emiliana, Christopher, Bartallo & Fedarica could not have been more accommodating to all our drinking and food needs. In a month that I stayed in Salina I went there almost everyday. The atmosphere was exactly what you want while you're on vacation in summer. I LOVED IT!!!!!

02/10/2025: Very good pizza, rustic but nice place

29/08/2025: Restaurant with a park and great for children's birthday parties. The pizzas and savoury pies are good.

24/09/2025: We organized a wonderful party for about 60 people at Manuja in September 2025 under the new management of Giorgia and her husband. Aside from their kindness and helpfulness, the food was delicious, we had a great time, the place was magical, and the buffet was so good! We had both vegetarians and celiacs, and they were able to accommodate every request. Thank you so much for organizing our pre-wedding!

24/08/2025: Our expectations were a bit disappointing, with pizzas that were unfortunately not good. I can only hope that it was just a moment and that everything becomes 5 stars 😜

21/09/2025: We had the pleasure of being guests of some very dear friends who decided to celebrate their 25th wedding anniversary at this venue. We were pleasantly surprised and satisfied with the quality of the food and the courtesy of the staff. Highly recommended.

28/08/2025: Not great, especially on the plate.

20/09/2025: There's nothing wrong with this place, located in the historic part of Milazzo. The very kind young waiter served us impeccably. That said, waiting an hour and a half for a plate of seafood spaghetti is unacceptable. Out of respect for the people accompanying us, I didn't leave early.

10/09/2025: We stumbled upon Il Giardino di Sicilia Milazzo while looking for a place to grab dinner. It was a perfect experience! The staff is friendly and attentive, and the food is absolutely amazing! We ordered many different dishes and they even gave us a tasting portion of each dish for the table so everyone could try what the other was having. It was such a pleasant experience and i am tempted to book another flight to sicily simply to come back and eat here!

17/09/2025: Good place for a simple meal, decent cuisine. Too bad we couldn't enjoy a sea view, but overall the food is still satisfactory and the flavors are quite classic.

10/09/2025: I had the pleasure of dining here last night. The place is very elegant and pleasant. We were served by very kind and helpful waiters, always ready to recommend the right food. We started with a delicious shrimp cocktail, followed by spaghetti with clams and gnocchi with pesto and shrimp, all accompanied by a fruity white wine that made the dinner incredibly tasty. We finished with a panna cotta and an apple tart. Nothing to add, everything was perfect. The sound of the waves in the background created a magical atmosphere. If you love good food, this is a must-try, highly recommended!

01/12/2025: A unique place. Visited for an aperitif. Everything was fine, but the quality/price ratio wasn't right.

28/11/2025: Great vibes, live music and fantastic atmosphere. Didn’t eat food here, only drinks & delicious cocktails. Was super busy so a slight wait for drinks but the bar staff were run off their feet and worked really hard to accommodate our party. Popped in for one…stayed until closing (think that sums up our enjoyment).

08/12/2025: It was closed, even though Google Maps said it was open. Please update the opening hours!!!

01/12/2025: Wow! This food was home cooked and SO delicious. I got the Carbonara and the calzone and my heart and stomach are leaving so happy. And you can’t beat the prices. Also, the restaurant owner was so very kind. 10/10 recommend this place!

12/10/2025: Came twice, was closed even when it showed it was open on google. Very disapointing

20/09/2025: Like everything on the island, it's rather expensive. The salad was very good. The pistachio cookies were a bit dry. Friendly service. Good outdoor seating. Large selection of dishes and breads.

11/10/2025: The traditional dishes are very good, but the place is a bit dark and could use a refresh. Time seems to have stopped somewhere between the '80s and '90s.

20/05/2025: An old pastry shop in Messina. Known for its excellent homemade cannoli, and much more, it's deliciously freshly made, along with ice cream, granitas, and more. Everything is delicious. You'll find excellent desserts and a very friendly service. The owner is an excellent person and very professional.

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 !

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.

03/10/2025: Delicious focaccia and rustici…I recommend it

03/09/2025: Truly awful, the focaccia and rustici are obscene. It's inedible by my standards, I had stomach problems for days. I can't understand how focaccia can be sold for €16 a kilo and still be so awful.
