I migliori ristoranti di cucina italiana in Messina

02/04/2026: I've known Spadaro Bar all my life; it was number one for its rotisserie and ice cream. Unfortunately, it's no longer a mediocre rotisserie. The focaccia is the same. The staff behind the counter is always arguing. Extremely slow service; even with a reservation, I waited almost an hour. A total disappointment. A shame.

17/03/2026: Focaccia and especially rustici are the best in the city

22/04/2026: We had breakfast here during our day trip to Taormina. There's a nice place to sit outside. The service was reasonably friendly. Our order arrived after a few minutes. The arancini were unfortunately a bit cold, but still tasted good. The wrap we had was also okay. The prices were rather high. Overall, our visit was alright, but nothing more.

10/04/2026: A nice and pleasant place to eat as a family (with teenagers). The food is quite good for a quick meal, and we appreciated the photos on the menu, which made it easy for the children to choose their dishes. However, we were unpleasantly surprised when the bill arrived; we were charged an extra €6 for cutlery. I don't know if this was indicated on the menu; in any case, we hadn't read it.

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

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

02/05/2026: A very positive culinary experience. Tonight I had the pleasure of dining at this restaurant, and I must say it was an excellent experience. The dish that really won me over was the Angus steak, cooked to perfection. The meat was tender, juicy, and flavorful, with a rich, bold flavor. The cooking, which was actually their average choice, was impeccable, with a crispy outer crust and a soft, red center, exactly how I wanted it. Furthermore, the restaurant's atmosphere is welcoming and relaxing, with attentive and professional service. The staff was very helpful, and the wait time between dishes was perfect, never feeling excessively long. A true pleasure for the palate! I will definitely return to try other dishes on the menu, but the Angus steak will remain in my memory as one of the best. Highly recommended for meat lovers! And, in a restaurant that claims to be seafood, it's a pleasant surprise.

08/04/2026: It's a nice place and they do great pizza and fish. The food is really good.

15/05/2026: The prawn cocktail unfortunately consisted of only six (and not at all tasty, given the name) party prawns, placed on a bed of iceberg lettuce and drowned in ready-made cocktail sauce. We could have bought them ourselves at the local ARD (German public broadcasting center). Disappointing for €15. However, it's a perfectly pleasant place to sit and drink wine.

10/05/2026: A tourist trap. Poor food, run-down venue, sky-high prices, unjustifiably above average. The only redeeming features are the sea view and the friendly staff.

21/09/2025: After calling and being told no reservation was needed, I showed up at 1:50 PM and they told me they'd sold out. They should organize themselves better. Luckily, they were able to find a solution in the area. It's a shame about the location, although basic, it could be better managed! 😮‍💨

11/09/2025: Sandwiches/sausage/pasta... Everything they make is delicious.

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

03/05/2025: Veramente con grande disappunto, perché un locale dovrebbe rispondere al primo squillo mi dispiace tanto anche perché ci sono stata in passata e mi ero trovata bene quindi a questo punto devo dire che il servizio è pessimo il fatto che non si possa prenotare senza rischiare che poi magari si arriva fin là e non si trova posto

14/04/2025: Everything is perfect every year when we go to Sicily, it is a point of reference for us and our friends

04/11/2025: The atmosphere is quite modern. The products are questionable. We had a cappuccino and a Nutella croissant. The quality of the cappuccino and croissant was poor.

29/10/2025: This morning I went into the hospital bar, moderate prices and excellent quality, with particular attention to cleanliness especially in cleaning the clean and fragrant bathrooms, with the cleaning lady very kind and friendly, I recommend it

12/05/2026: Nice, small snack bar with a beautiful view of the sea, great service and a production kitchen. If I have a chance to visit again, I will gladly stop by. 🙂 Grazia mille

20/02/2026: The owner seems pretty annoyed by comments on reviews. I don't even want to eat here, lol.

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.

25/04/2026: Three stars and I won't add anything else!!!

15/04/2026: €14 for two croissants with ice cream and a small cup. Shame! Never again.
