I migliori ristoranti di cucina italiana in Messina

26/10/2025: Please note this is no longer a campsite. It is only a restaurant.

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

02/01/2026: Terrible experience. The appetizer was incredibly poor and of truly questionable quality. The portions were meager on everything, including the pasta: ridiculous quantities that didn't even begin to justify the price. Now I completely understand why the place was completely empty. Paying €152 for four pieces of fish and a plate of pasta for four is simply unacceptable. A pack of pasta costs less than €2: is it really that difficult to get a little more? We left the table hungry and with a bitter taste in our mouths. We'll never return.

01/01/2026: We were warmly welcomed, the staff were very friendly, the pizza was good, and the price was fair. The fried food needs to be revisited, but that might have been a fluke.

19/11/2025: The coffee and arancini were very delicious, and the staff member was a very nice Hungarian-speaking lady! 🫶🏻

07/11/2025: We ordered 3 portions of fish and chips and squid to take away. The food was prepared very slowly. (approx. 20-30 minutes) When paying, it turned out that we could not pay by card, only cash. The paper cone we received contained very little squid, but at least it was expensive. We will not go here again, I do not 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)

18/09/2025: Fast service and excellent pizza! Pleasant little terrace in the evening.

11/09/2025: Fantastically delicious pizza! Nice service.

23/02/2026: Interesting, but pleasant, concept. No menus or prices. Just order a drink and get something delicious. Then surprisingly your table gets covered with loads of hot & cold snacks. Fantastic if you haven't eaten, possibly a waste if you're not hungry. Regarding cost, of course this concept is a bit of a risk. But we were very pleasantly surprised - €11 each for awesome cocktails and enough munchies for dinner for us. I'd definitely go again.

10/02/2026: I stumbled upon this place by chance and had a great time. I'll definitely be back! Very professional and helpful! Excellent cocktails and appetizers.

13/01/2026: Who doesn't enjoy swimming in a pool with cigarettes butts. Good things swimming caps are mandatory, but too bad no one told us it's not forced anyway, and in the end we didn't have to buy those swimming caps I guess. No lifeguard at the pool. Loud partying noises till 3am. When at 2am I called reception, because I couldn't sleep, they told me "1 hour" and left the phone hanging, so if you are planning your RELAXING STAY/VACATION it would probably be better to avoid this hotel.

05/01/2026: We stayed here for the first two days and the last day of a tour. The motto: great at the front, terrible at the back. We had a "handicapped room" for two nights. Large, with a balcony and a sea view. It was fine! On the last day, we had a room at the back. Small, with a view of slum-like alleys. Water reached the middle of the bathroom when we showered. On the day of departure, at 6:15 a.m. (it was still dark outside), the power outage in the room! We had to pack our suitcases using our cell phone lights! Later, we received no response, apology, or anything like that at reception. And why can't they replace this "balcony furniture"?

01/01/2026: I beg you, take my advice. The people who cook have no idea how to make even a plate of spaghetti with clams. The quality of the ingredients is terrible. Plus, the prices are incredibly high. And the owner talks nonsense and makes fun of you: the Mazzara shrimp, which were actually huge and frozen solid, were actually frozen. The location is beautiful, but I highly recommend eating anywhere but this one. They're too bad.

18/12/2025: Very charming place, good food. Prices are above average.

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.

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.

28/02/2026: The pistachio granita wasn't good, it was very oxidized; the others were average. The brioche was good.

14/02/2026: A €10 Spritz...in the little bar in the Torre Faro square. Need I say more? It seems truly offensive. And I don't want to be harsh on the judgement. THE OWNERS SHOULD SIMPLY BE ASHAMED.

08/01/2026: Dear [SICILY FOOD], I would like to file a formal complaint regarding what happened this evening at your restaurant. I went to your business with my daughter to eat. From the moment we arrived, we were greeted with evident superficiality by the staff, who informed us that we could not sit in the dining room due to a lack of staff, requiring payment in advance as a condition for seating. Although we found this disrespectful to the customer, we accepted. Once we entered the dining room, we found the hygiene conditions unacceptable: the tables and floor were visibly dirty. For this reason, disgusted, we decided not to eat there and to take the food away. The situation further worsened when, during food preparation, while the focaccia was being cut, my daughter noticed a large cockroach on the counter. I immediately reported the incident to the staff on site. Despite the seriousness of the incident, I still paid and left the premises, but I consider what happened to be extremely serious from a hygiene and health perspective and from a customer-facing perspective. I would like to express my profound disappointment and inform you that, in light of this experience, I will not be returning to your establishment. I hope, however, that immediate measures will be taken to ensure adequate hygiene conditions and more respectful customer treatment. Kind regards,

03/12/2025: Nice place, although it could be better managed with a little imagination. It lacks a greater Sicilian touch. If you want to be original, you have to sell only Sicilian and local products and not other goods you find in supermarkets.

05/03/2026: Incorrect opening hours, closed in March

27/10/2025: Aperitif break after a crazy adventure, very good service, lovely terrace
