I migliori ristoranti di cucina italiana in Messina

02/01/2026: Very good pizza, friendly and fast staff. Very welcoming place, shame about the bathroom off the dining room.

23/09/2025: The pizza was delicious, but the wait was too long. An hour and a half for a pizza seems too long.

07/04/2026: Discriminatory. We waited 30 minutes without any response or service. All the parents with children were in the bar next door. Perhaps if I had come without my son they would have served me? Since the place doesn't cater to children and the bar next door attracts them all? On the other hand, the restrooms are clean, I recommend it!

04/04/2026: A small beachfront spot just steps from the pier. Friendly service, fresh produce, and a priceless view. We'll be back.

24/11/2025: This evening we bought some rustici, inedible to say the least. ARANCINO WITH SOUR RAGÙ, ARANCINO WITH BUTTER MORE SOUR THAN THE LAST. I'm sorry, we'll never come again.

01/08/2025: Abbiamo mangiato a pranzo in questo ristorante, su una bella terrazza con vista mare. Abbiamo mangiato pane cunzato, frittura mista, spiedini di pesce spada. Buon cibo, piatti tipici, servizio veloce e prezzi adeguati.

22/07/2025: Luftiger Terasse, Blick aufs Meer, sehr gutes Essen: Pizza blitzschnell am Tischund köstlich,,Risotto und Nudel absolut top! Hauswein kühl und leicht. Absolut empfehlenswert!

20/12/2025: Beautiful place, perfect for parties with children. Friendly staff. Excellent aperitif. I will be back.

20/12/2025: Mauro's place is terribly welcoming, as is its owner, Genny is no exception, a round of applause to Piccaluga,

27/03/2026: I've always eaten reasonably well, considering the price/quality/service ratio, which isn't excellent but is acceptable. However, last Sunday you completely messed up by serving me a mixed grill of fish cooked the night before and re-baked for me... indescribable and unacceptable. I didn't say anything to you at the time so as not to stir up controversy in front of my friends and children who were guests... but think about it because you've lost several other customers with me...

26/03/2026: Finally, a bar where you can enjoy excellent lactose-free ice cream! Even the cream was lactose-free!

18/02/2026: A welcoming place with good food. We ordered the platter for three of us, and it was enough for an appetizer. Plus, the delicious meatballs. The meat-based main courses were good. Delicious tiramisu.

23/12/2025: New and well-structured venue.... Excellent cocktails and aperitifs

15/03/2026: I stayed only three nights. It was February, and the hotel wasn't operating at full capacity; some facilities were closed. But I had a beautiful sea view room, and the view when you wake up in the morning is priceless. The room was clean, and the staff was friendly. I had a great time. If I were to return to the area, I would definitely stay here again. I recommend it.

13/01/2026: Who doesn't enjoy swimming in a pool with cigarettes butts. Good things swimming caps are mandatory, but too bad no one told us it's not forced anyway, and in the end we didn't have to buy those swimming caps I guess. No lifeguard at the pool. Loud partying noises till 3am. When at 2am I called reception, because I couldn't sleep, they told me "1 hour" and left the phone hanging, so if you are planning your RELAXING STAY/VACATION it would probably be better to avoid this hotel.

06/03/2026: One of the pest pizzas i've ever had! Good beer and very cozy. Friendly owner :)

14/11/2025: The worst pizza I've ever had in Italy!!! I think it was frozen....

08/01/2026: Dear [SICILY FOOD], I would like to file a formal complaint regarding what happened this evening at your restaurant. I went to your business with my daughter to eat. From the moment we arrived, we were greeted with evident superficiality by the staff, who informed us that we could not sit in the dining room due to a lack of staff, requiring payment in advance as a condition for seating. Although we found this disrespectful to the customer, we accepted. Once we entered the dining room, we found the hygiene conditions unacceptable: the tables and floor were visibly dirty. For this reason, disgusted, we decided not to eat there and to take the food away. The situation further worsened when, during food preparation, while the focaccia was being cut, my daughter noticed a large cockroach on the counter. I immediately reported the incident to the staff on site. Despite the seriousness of the incident, I still paid and left the premises, but I consider what happened to be extremely serious from a hygiene and health perspective and from a customer-facing perspective. I would like to express my profound disappointment and inform you that, in light of this experience, I will not be returning to your establishment. I hope, however, that immediate measures will be taken to ensure adequate hygiene conditions and more respectful customer treatment. Kind regards,

03/12/2025: Nice place, although it could be better managed with a little imagination. It lacks a greater Sicilian touch. If you want to be original, you have to sell only Sicilian and local products and not other goods you find in supermarkets.

06/10/2025: Excellent quality ice cream and very knowledgeable and friendly girl

23/09/2025: It's inconceivable that businesses like this exist in 2025 without a bathroom inside!! The girl behind the counter isn't exactly happy; maybe she should find another job!! The ice cream isn't anything special.

11/10/2025: Maurizio was very kind and welcoming. The caponata was the best I've tasted in the Aeolian Islands, and the stuffed squid with sauce was wonderful! Thank you.

05/10/2025: For the owner alone this restaurant is worth a visit. Such a lovely and engaging man, who spoke Italian, English and German with us. The food is delicious and though on the pricier side, portion size and quality justify it. We had the best seafood noodles here. (Sadly I only have a photo of the empty shells)

18/09/2025: Fast service and excellent pizza! Pleasant little terrace in the evening.

11/09/2025: Fantastically delicious pizza! Nice service.

29/01/2026: My wife and I stopped by and stumbled upon this trattoria. What a find! The starters were truly top-notch. Even our 6-month-old daughter eagerly ate our dishes. Highly recommended.

25/01/2026: It would be better to close it... if I could not put the stars I would and think that they would have infinite potential NEVER AGAIN. RATHER A SANDWICH ON THE MEADOWS
