I migliori ristoranti di cucina italiana in Messina

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

25/09/2025: Excellent food, very kind owner, special dishes

21/09/2025: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Such a warm experience! We’re really grateful for the welcoming service, especially on a Sunday when the restaurant would normally be closed. The food was absolutely delicious and felt like a comforting home-cooked meal. We truly enjoyed the hours we spent there. A big thank you! 💚

15/08/2025: Everything was spectacular, from the food to the cleanliness. The staff was kind and courteous. Highly recommended.

08/08/2025: Since February, the creator of this restaurant, which began in the 1960s as a small trattoria for those who worked in the area and couldn't return home for lunch, has passed away. Now, his children and grandchildren continue this gastronomic journey, offering dishes invented by Cavaliere Nino Bontempo. Thank you for allowing us to relish the flavors Nino explained to us, perhaps even sitting down with us, as was the case on the day of my First Communion 58 years ago. Andrea Vanella

04/10/2025: We were very disappointed: • Poor and careless food – the Caprese salad (€10) was just two sliced tomatoes with a few pieces of mozzarella and no dressing at all (see photo). • Long waiting time, even though the place was not busy. • Huge “Pizza” sign outside, but they only serve pizza in the evening – very misleading! • Absolutely not worth the price. • Only positive point: the water was nicely chilled. Definitely not recommended.

01/10/2025: Stopped for an end of night wine and cannolo. Great prices, fast service, no frills. Looks intimidating as it's very local, but it's open to all!

26/09/2025: The ancient flavors of Messina...focaccia made with top-quality ingredients...service at the counter, kindness and courtesy are particularly noteworthy...highly recommended

18/07/2025: The focaccia was good but not excellent, the fried foods were delicious. We'll be back.

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.

22/04/2025: Excellent food Many appetizers in very small portions The pasta is good And the second too wine already leaving for vinegar No menu on the internet, read the price 30/40 per person At the time of the bill we paid 50 euros per person and without a receipt Honestly too expensive

06/04/2025: Very nice culinary experience. Nothing less than excellent

28/08/2025: A good focacceria in the southern area of ​​Messina. The traditional focaccia is excellent! (But they don't use enough anchovies, in my opinion.) Other flavors are good to decent. Free, punctual home delivery service and a friendly staff member. Fair prices.

24/08/2025: I've had delivery three times and I have to say it's always been great! The pizza is delicious and the staff is really friendly. From the moment you call, they're always smiling and helpful, and delivery is always on time! I rarely write reviews, but the service and staff are truly worth it. Highly recommended!

09/09/2025: The environment is very noisy and uncomfortable for the price you pay.

23/07/2025: We've been eating pizzas from Pizzeria Roma for years now, and nothing has ever disappointed me, not even the Margherita, which in its simplicity is truly delicious. A few weeks ago, I saw the new entry "CAPRICIOSA 4.0" on social media. In my opinion, it's a pizza like no other, I'd say superb, for my tastes, obviously. It's not a revisited Capricciosa, which is hard to describe. The superior quality artichokes finish with a hint of truffle oil—in short, it's worth trying.

10/10/2025: 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"?

07/10/2025: The rooms are very disappointing and basic. We booked two superior rooms but had to change our dates and ended up getting one superior and one standard, both at the price of the superior. And the difference between the two options is significant (standard has no balcony, no view and is much smaller). Breakfast mediocre and at 9.20 am already cold and not much left. Coffee absolutely disgusting. The only positive was that the receptionist nice and friendly.

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.

29/07/2025: Siamo stati da Alfredo per colazione, pranzo e cena, tutto buonissimo, cordiali e calorosi, una tappa imperdibile!!!

27/07/2025: Il VERO pane cunzato è molto diverso!! Basta cercare una foto su Internet e si capisce subito che ciò che è servito in quel ristorante e che loro chiamano "pane cunzato" non è in realtà Pane Cunzato! Oltretutto è stata chiesta anche una verifica ad una cuoca siciliana esperta tramite foto scattata sul momento in cui è stato portato il piatto quando sono andat* a pranzare in questo ristorante e la risposta è stata che quello "non era assolutamente un VERO pane cunzato"!!! Perciò non consiglio assolutamente di mangiare in questo ristorante.

08/05/2025: Vino a través de este lugar en nuestro primer día en Taormina para el almuerzo. Tuvimos un gran almuerzo en una bonita terraza. La pizza era la mejor que tuvimos en Taormina y una gran carbonara también. Terminé viniendo aquí para almorzar dos de los cuatro días aquí. Buena relación calidad-precio y lo recomendaría.

04/05/2025: Lindo comedor con vista, pero eso es todo. La comida es promedio, pero sorprendentemente el vino fue diluido. Pedimos una jarra de vino tinto de la casa y nos quedamos atónitos cuando lo probamos y obviamente era medio agua. Nunca he tenido esto en ningún restaurante.
