I migliori ristoranti di cucina italiana in Messina

06/07/2026: Very affordable! Have come back a few times in our stay.

10/06/2026: A good Aperol and at the regular price of 5€, I respect that and recommend it 😀

10/06/2026: I enter politely, without looking at the price. I'm sitting right at the entrance and no one comes to serve me, so I get up and go to the counter. The waiter is eating and laughing; I wait patiently and calmly tell him it's okay if he's eating something. He prepares me a spritz, brings it to the table himself, drinks it, and gets up to pay—and he continues eating and laughing in my face. As a polite customer, who has paid and essentially served himself, I ask what's so funny. He responds: "I always laugh." A place that leaves customers seated without a word, and staff that mistake service for a private moment, with an unprofessional attitude toward those who enter. The spritz was decent, but the welcome was not.

23/05/2026: Cozy place and really good pizza. And they have a paradise of ice cream to choose from.

30/06/2026: Excellent cannoli and fast and friendly service

29/06/2026: a terrible experience!!! I arrive at 7:00 pm (with the bar empty!) and I ask them if we can have some toast in 10 minutes for two little girls because we had the hydrofoil and they tell us that there are no problems, at 7:15 pm we start to ask (the hydrofoil left at 7:30 pm), at 7:20 pm we ask again and (not noticing my husband) they say - verbatim - "this guy is breaking our balls today" a completely inappropriate language, they deliver the toast to us only at 7:25 pm to take away obviously and delivered in a scandalous way (my 10 year old daughter knows better how to prepare a simple cheese toast!), another very sore point was the manager's response to my request, I'm celiac what flavor of ice cream can I have? none!!! they are all contaminated, without courtesy/tactlessness and above all without offering me any alternative, I definitely won't go back again! I advise you to equip yourself with "kindness" the same things if handled with kindness could change everything

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

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!

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

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

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

03/10/2025: Shame Shame Shame Run away from this fake resort. They say it's a Lipari resort, but it's actually on Vulcano. Thank goodness my stubbornness made me do some research the day before. I got my money back from eDream because I was right. Fake

24/08/2025: It's a 4-star resort, but only potentially. It feels like an unfinished structure. There's no shuttle to take you from the port. The rooms are nice, although the fixtures and fittings could use a makeover. There's also little privacy. Breakfast is excellent.

10/11/2025: We 've visited in the summer. Terrible service and bad pizza. Nice view but only this

21/09/2025: Poor service and interminable wait times. An hour and a half for six pizzas. Plastic plates and cups.

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.

13/10/2025: Super bar in a more than convenient location facing the harbor! The food and beverages are carefully prepared, tasty, and flavorful. A lovely, well-kept, clean, and cheerful location. The staff are a plus; the owner, Salvatore, saved me in a necessary emergency! Highly recommended, and above all, thank you.

08/10/2025: As many others have said, it's scandalous what they offer you and what you pay! My sandwich was dry, no oil or condiments, it had one layer of meat and iceberg lettuce for 8 euro!!!! Never again
