I migliori ristoranti di cucina italiana in Messina

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

16/08/2026: I've been wanting to go for a while out of curiosity, and I normally avoid writing negative reviews. Unfortunately, I have to say I'm very disappointed! Very nice place, but the rest... Exorbitant prices, especially if you risk throwing almost everything away, as happened. Very thin pizzas, therefore larger and more irregular in shape, burnt, solid, and tasteless. I always try to find an excuse, but from the reviews I've read, it seems like habit and not a coincidence. A few things need to be tweaked.

12/08/2026: First and last time. Unprofessional staff, the lady who took the order was extremely rude. Burnt pizzas, extremely uncomfortable plastic chairs.

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.

15/08/2026: Two granitas, "strawberry and lemon" and "chocolate, pistachio, and cream," and two brioches, the bill was €8: - the granitas tasted only of sugar - the brioches were shameful, dry, and bready; I would rather not serve them or I would drastically lower the price. A question naturally arises: in the center of Messina, with much more competition, would they continue to offer products like this?

10/08/2026: A regular ice cream. The staff was really rude and unhelpful. I couldn't believe they were giving me two ice creams for free, considering how they served them. These places shouldn't be open to the public.

16/08/2026: Aperol for 6 EUR! We visit regularly.

16/08/2026: Far too expensive for such mediocre food.

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!!

05/08/2026: I've been getting their cannoli for about 38 years. They make two types, large and regular. I prefer the large ones because the shell stays thinner and softer. The ricotta is divinely crafted, and when it hits your mouth, it explodes with incredible flavor. The chocolate is creamy, truly wonderful. Kudos to the entire staff.

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
