I migliori ristoranti di cucina italiana in Messina

28/12/2025: The service was quite poor...It was something like: + Are you open? - Yes, of course we are We sit down, the waiter comes and we order. Few minutes later, he brings the drinks and says: - "I am sorry guys but I forgot to tell you that we're closing in 30 minutes." Then, having shots with the employees in front of the customers when they are queueing up is not very professional (secondo mie...) Expensive as the main street in Taormina, spritz senza amore...

03/11/2025: Cozy little place! BUT 12 euros for a bottle of beer - it must be one of the most expensive in town. It was definitely our most expensive beer on our entire vacation

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.

23/08/2025: Here's the deal. 7:00 PM. We arrive and find a tall waiter who, without offense, we could describe as apathetic and expressionless. We ask: can we sit down for a drink? He looks around and points to a table: in a moment his colleague cleans the table. Maybe we should also pass her a cloth because there was something spilled on the table.... Beyond him are two other girls, one with her arms folded and the other—well, not even those. I imagine the owner is happy to pay them for this. We wait, then wait some more, then leave. And at the lido next door, two proseccos served by the sea in three minutes and lots of smiles. Terrible service is an understatement. Not recommended.

22/08/2025: The place is worth it, it is definitely worth a visit, staying there gives you the impression of being in a magical place immersed in canals and boats, even if some areas are a bit shabby.

13/10/2025: The staff is friendly but the food is terrible and the structure is dilapidated, the parking is even dangerous.

05/08/2025: I'd heard good things about this place, and looking on Facebook, I saw some tempting dishes—boards of appetizers, first courses, second courses, etc. When we got there after an hour's drive, the staff told me they only do pizza rounds; 4 people is too much, so we ordered four pizzas from the menu... well... neither praise nor infamy... I've had better. The service is non-existent, drinks are basic... water and Messina beer... napkins are on demand, and when it's time to pay, a waitress pockets the money, turns her back, and walks away, without a receipt... I thought they were doing us a favor by letting us in. The prices are certainly low, but so is the quality. I'll also have to reconsider my relationship with the people who recommended it to me... never again 😕

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

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.

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.

21/09/2025: We had the pleasure of being guests of some very dear friends who decided to celebrate their 25th wedding anniversary at this venue. We were pleasantly surprised and satisfied with the quality of the food and the courtesy of the staff. Highly recommended.

28/08/2025: Not great, especially on the plate.

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"?

23/11/2025: Very kind staff and very good pizza ❤️

09/09/2025: Extremely high prices, waitress who doesn't even know why she's there, manager who tries to add to the bill, avoid.

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.

24/11/2025: This evening we bought some rustici, inedible to say the least. ARANCINO WITH SOUR RAGÙ, ARANCINO WITH BUTTER MORE SOUR THAN THE LAST. I'm sorry, we'll never come again.

08/10/2025: They never miss a beat. What I order is always delicious. And punctuality is a strong point.

02/01/2026: Very good pizza, friendly and fast staff. Very welcoming place, shame about the bathroom off the dining room.

23/09/2025: The pizza was delicious, but the wait was too long. An hour and a half for a pizza seems too long.

06/10/2025: Excellent quality ice cream and very knowledgeable and friendly girl

23/09/2025: It's inconceivable that businesses like this exist in 2025 without a bathroom inside!! The girl behind the counter isn't exactly happy; maybe she should find another job!! The ice cream isn't anything special.
