I migliori ristoranti di cucina italiana in Messina

11/08/2025: Simply... spectacular granita! Nothing else needs to be said. Delicious. The end.

08/08/2025: What can I say? I went there with a friend and we ate a series of unpleasant fish dishes, each one better than the last, accompanied by an excellent local wine. The staff were friendly and helpful, and the place was very popular.

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.

20/09/2025: A good place to eat seafood is essential. They cook quite well, with an excellent slice of pauro, and a good mixed fried fish platter with various types of fish. Perhaps the shrimp and calamari were missing, but the cuttlefish made up for it. The fish appetizer, which was rather sparse, could use a rethink. All in all, a place worth trying. And last but not least, the service was impeccable and fast. The only flaw is the location, which is from the 1980s, but the quality of the food makes up for it. It's been closed for good for several months now.

11/04/2025: Honestly one of my favorite places to eat in Messina, the hidden ones that at a very honest price make you eat like heaven

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.

22/09/2025: I had a good time, good pizza and friendly staff.

01/09/2025: expensive, dishes with small portions and the atmosphere is horrible

24/09/2025: A real treat, I highly recommend it! The welcome is incredibly kind, and the food... I have no words! It's delicious and authentically traditional.

28/06/2025: Restaurant and bar for friends and acquaintances. You are in company and always laugh. Daily menu and always fresh. Good food and excellent service.

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.

19/09/2025: Generous dishes, swordfish galore.

31/08/2025: It says it's open on Sundays, with the opening hours. It would be respectful to customers to update the information here on Google.

14/09/2025: very long waiting times, 50 minutes, almost 1 hour waiting for a pizza, shameful

07/09/2025: We stopped at a somewhat inconvenient time, yet the guys were incredibly friendly and helpful. Seeing how hungry we were, they quickly fried up four arancini for us. They were fabulous and highly recommended. Trust me, eat them! We also enjoyed a hamburger sandwich and a slice of pizza, which were truly delicious. The burger was delicious. As soon as we get back to Sicily, we already know where to stock up!

23/05/2025: I visited this café as a tourist speaking NO Italian, (only Si, Grazi, and Por Favore) and was treated very kindly and welcomingly by the barista who helped me find the pastry I wanted and made me a beautiful cappuccino!

14/05/2025: BUSINESS HAS CHANGED MANAGEMENT. FROM 2024

29/08/2025: Excellent aperitifs, Giovanni is an excellent bartender, always available.

29/08/2025: Last Saturday, I spent an evening at this bar on the Roccalumera seafront, strategically located with a picturesque view of the Strait. The modern, pleasant atmosphere puts you at ease, allowing you to relax and enjoy an excellent aperitif with background music. I had an excellent whiskey sour, expertly crafted with a perfect blend of various ingredients. I recommend this lovely establishment because the atmosphere is pleasant and relaxing, with excellent bar and cuisine. Affordable prices.

02/11/2025: Frozen fish, inedible seafood linguine, rubbery mussels, horrible shrimp, limp pasta. Salmon pennette that didn't even smell like it, just tasted like cream. I don't know how you can call it a restaurant. I cook better at home. P.S.: I'm editing my review after reading the response. It's all bullshit. I didn't bother anyone, nor did I treat the waiters badly (like slaves), especially because I've known Andrea for a long time. Negative reviews are for self-improvement, not for making up excuses. So, in addition to improving your cooking, improve this as well.

31/10/2025: The dishes are plentiful....For the rest, I'd give it a 0. The lady who seated us wasn't at all friendly, but the guy, on the contrary, was helpful and smiling. The dishes are inedible. My wife had paccheri with shrimp and radicchio, and they were drowning in oil. I had seafood linguine....tasteless. Consider that I live in a touristy seaside town and I can tell a good dish apart, but you won't find this food even in low-end restaurants.

19/10/2025: Well done to the gentleman in the dining room! Excellent food!

14/10/2025: This isn't a campsite anymore. The owner made that rather rudely clear to me. We were allowed to stay for dinner, but we decided against it...

25/07/2025: A very pleasant location to enjoy in peace with the managers Annamaria and Sandro who are truly professionals in the sector.

29/06/2025: Called 5 times to book a table at their beach for Sunday evening and I had no answer nor was I ever called back. Absolutely unprofessional
