I migliori ristoranti di cucina italiana in Messina

27/07/2026: The Aperols tasted very watery! Will not drink there again.

24/07/2026: Mediocre and expensive pizza! A long wait for a tasteless pizza. The dough was hard, the toppings were poor quality, and it was undercooked.

16/07/2026: The pizza here is decent, but the problem is delivery: a while back, my parents ordered a pizza for delivery, and when the delivery man arrived, he refused to take it to their floor and made an elderly man climb the stairs to pick it up. The other problem is the neighborhood, which is full of disadvantaged people and doesn't encourage you to stay there.

09/07/2026: Terrible welcome, total lack of professionalism Last night we went for two pizzas and the experience was truly unpleasant. The lady at the cash register turned to us in an extremely rude and unwelcoming manner. To make matters worse, she completely ignored my partner while she was asking her simple questions, pretending nothing was happening. The pizza may be good, but the rudeness and total lack of respect for the customer will put you off returning. Not recommended.

29/06/2026: I strongly advise against choosing this hotel—how on earth does it have four stars? If you don't opt ​​for a more expensive sea-view room, you're stuck looking at a shabby building and a dumpster. Breakfast consisted of ten plates of pastries and croissants, plus cheese, ham, and tomatoes; we went only once—a waste of money. Forget about using the Wi-Fi in the room—the signal was terrible, so I had to use my own mobile data (another waste of money). The air conditioning was hit-or-miss, and the TV kept breaking down (the World Cup was on, and there was no chance to watch it). You can only enter the pool if you wear a swim cap; I’ve stayed in dozens of hotels and never encountered such a ridiculous rule. The only good thing is the location; unfortunately, the hotel’s potential is completely wasted. Never again.

07/06/2026: Nice enough place however despite their website showing a host of facilities, they were all closed....no pool, no roof terrace, no outside bar. We were very disappointed. So check before you book, I would guess that if everything is open it would be a great place to stay. There's not too much in the area to do but the beach is lovely. Most of the local restaurants were also closed so unable to comment on local food.

27/05/2026: Closed for years, what a shame!

07/04/2026: Lots of boats in a picturesque cove

09/08/2026: The products may be good but some of the staff are very, very RUDE.

02/08/2026: It's one of those places where, as soon as you walk in, you're tempted to buy everything. The food is excellent. Everything is delicious. The staff is welcoming and helpful. Highly recommended

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)

27/05/2026: If you're looking for an Argentinian in Sicily, here you'll find barbecue, grills, a small soccer field, parking, a place for the kids to play... Spectacular, right on the seafront

23/05/2026: Messina-style focaccia is inedible!

17/10/2025: Do you know what "shrinkflation" is? Essentially, it's when the price of a product is kept the same but the quantity is reduced. These rustici cost €1.50 and would once have been called mini-sized... now, however, they're the "normal" size. Very good, yes, but small and therefore expensive. P.S. I understand the answer, but in that case, there are two options: everyone else uses much lower-quality raw materials, or they have a lower profit margin. (The truth probably lies somewhere in the middle.)

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

07/10/2025: The best bar in Barcelona, ​​without a doubt!!!!! All their pastries are fresh, the ice cream is top-notch, and they always make sure the coffee is perfectly prepared. Plus, the service was the best I've ever received in all of Italy!! I would definitely return to Barcelona to visit Vintage Bar!! Thank you!

22/06/2026: Amazing, amazing place. You feel the warmth of the ancient osteria where everything is locally produced without too many pretensions!!! Fresh, clean, and quiet place!!! Excellent homemade food, well-served, well-seasoned, and of excellent flavor and quality!!! Recommended for everyone, even families. Not the cheapest, but the quality/price ratio is top-notch!!! The kindness and courtesy of the Miraglia family is truly 1000-star quality!!! We had a great time and ate very well.

02/05/2026: Excellent local food. The owner was very friendly and attentive to our needs. The stoves were very pleasant, considering the low temperatures outside. A delightful evening, highly recommended. See you next time!!

09/05/2026: Excellent quality of drinks, excellent food, excellent service, very kind staff

18/04/2026: Among the best cocktails in Messina

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

11/03/2026: After just three slices of focaccia, it felt like I'd eaten twice as much: the dough isn't very airy and leaves a heavy feeling in the stomach that lingers throughout the digestion. The ingredients are of decent quality, but they're not very distinctive on the palate, except for the traditional one with tuma. A very nice location and a normal wait (we booked around 6 PM to pick up at 8 PM and had to wait about ten minutes), but for other flavors of focaccia, it's best to go elsewhere. Maybe in the future we'll try some rustico and pizza.

11/03/2026: The pizza dough is delicious, light, and soft, cooked to perfection, and the ingredients are top-quality, offering an excellent value. As soon as you walk in, you immediately notice the brightness and cleanliness of the place, but what really captures you is Palma's amazing kindness. She's professional, kind, and always smiling (which I think is crucial when interacting with customers!). I also recommend trying the focaccia, which will leave you speechless. I want to sincerely compliment the team that works at this pizzeria, from those who toil behind the scenes to those who put their face forward and always welcome customers with enthusiasm and kindness!

27/07/2026: Terrible. We called to make a reservation for 10 people with two celiac girls. They told us over the phone that they would be putting aside two gluten-free pizza bases. We arrived, sat down, ordered, and were told the gluten-free bases were sold out. You can imagine my daughter's face. I don't think anything else needs to be said.

25/07/2026: Terrible prices, expensive pizza without salt, little seasoning, you only buy dough and also terrible....the orange in short....poor service without organization....never again
