I migliori ristoranti di cucina italiana in Messina

12/10/2025: Very good food. Friendly service. Quiet and cozy place.

28/09/2025: Bad frozen pizza, prices comparable to other restaurants in the area but much less good

23/10/2025: We ate well in this little tarttoria

29/09/2025: An authentic restaurant in a quiet alley. Delicious food and friendly, attentive staff. +++

17/10/2025: Very good restaurant. Chef Giuseppe explained us every meal in detail. They use local ingredients and everything was so delicious.

06/10/2025: We arrived around 9:15 pm and were greeted very coldly, feeling like we were intruding. We couldn't get a menu: we were simply told that there were only a few glasses of wine, beer, or cocktails left. We ordered a beer and a glass of wine... the latter was clearly a leftover bottle with a deposit, charged at €10 per glass. There was no opportunity for a snack, and the waiter stayed behind the bar on his phone, apparently waiting for us to leave to join his friends in the neighboring restaurant. A truly disappointing experience, to be avoided.

31/10/2025: Terrible service, waiters who can't speak Italian, let alone write down orders. The result? Everything arrives wrong. The Pitoni is good, but they could be significantly improved by replacing the cheese they use with an excellent tuma. The focaccia is terrible.

29/10/2025: We had some ice cream. Nice place to feel like a local. Very peaceful.

19/10/2025: Terrible place. Mediocre food. Zero professionalism.

06/10/2025: The staff were courteous and friendly, but the appetizers were poor in quality and quantity. We only ordered the first course, skipping the main course. The quality was acceptable, but the price was outrageous for what we ate. I don't think I'll go there again.

18/10/2025: A delicious meal. We ordered arancini, pitoni, and focaccia for dinner. Then we had a dessert called "bianco e nero," which was spectacular.

10/10/2025: A pizzeria, restaurant, café, and bakery all in one 😀. Great coffee, delicious mini ice cream cones, and super traditional Sicilian rolls with fillings (spinach, cheese, pistachios, mortadella, etc.) – truly some of the best I've ever had. A takeaway option, perfect for the beach. Plus, a ton of various sweets. A must-see if you're visiting a beach in the area.

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 😕

04/10/2024: Spectacular point with breathtaking views, also reachable on foot from the port of Panarea, via a flat road that winds between the wonderful typical Aeolian white houses, covered in bougainvillea, ficus and prickly pears. The climb to the Milazzo tip allows you to enjoy from above the panorama of the nearby islands. Directly on the right and left of the tip are the beautiful dark beaches of Cala Junco and Cala Zimmari.

15/09/2024: Aperitivo con l’equipaggio della barca.. circa 12 persone. Locale con vista ok ma le sedute sono estremamente scomode (la metà era su un muretto dove non erano nemmeno forniti cuscini decorativi da usare). Ogni drink costa 20€, un po’ troppo. NEMMENO A CORTINA O A CORVARA IN BADIA! Dopo aver ordinato una dozzina di drink si sono presentati con due vassoi in croce con pietanze tutto sommato ok ma veramente scarse in termini di quantità. Rappresentata la questione, con immensa scortesia, ci hanno detto che la cucina stava chiudendo e che non c’era altro. Significava forse che ci stavano dando gli avanzi?? Boh! Ad ogni modo lo skipper è intervenuto parlando con un manager di sua conoscenza e voilà… sono arrivati altri vassoi! Infine non mi è parso che i wc fossero accessibili ai disabili in primis perchè dalla terrazza si devono scendere due piani di scale e poi non ho notato nè ascensori nè ringhiere attrezzate per favorire la discesa dei disabili.

16/08/2025: Elegant place, friendly staff, and delicious pizza. Must try!!!

21/07/2025: Pizzeria in a slightly dated old house, probably in need of renovation. The terrace overlooking the Aeolian Islands is beautiful, but it's noisy because it borders the main road, with roaring motorcycles... impossible to talk. The pizza is average, perhaps a bit too large.

18/11/2025: the most expensive coffee i’ve ever had in Italy, for 2 espresso with milk we paid 10 euros! Ridiculous. it wasn’t even beautiful, place is very rusty and we didn’t feel welcome.

16/09/2025: Really good bakery and coffe shop, just near the Theather. Nice atmosphere and service, real Italian family bussines.

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

21/10/2025: We visited this little wine bar twice as we liked it. The first time we had the delicious Etna wine with a cheese & olive board. The second time we had afternoon cocktails. It's a quiet little bar on a busy walkway. The staff were friendly and service was good.

11/08/2025: Historic pizzeria with a variety of doughs. Excellent main courses and fondues. Finish with an exceptional chocolate liqueur. Reasonable prices. I highly recommend it.

10/08/2025: I've been going there for many years, and honestly, the pizza is delicious. The cleanliness and friendliness of the staff are also remarkable.

07/09/2025: Sant'Alessio!!! We are on the move!!! Come!! Nautilus!!!! Always 💞 super positive, music, fun, polite owners are waiting for you!

14/07/2025: The deckchairs and umbrellas are very discolored and almost broken. The food is decent.

02/10/2025: We ate brioche, it was incredibly delicious! 🤤

22/09/2025: Exceptional brioche with ice cream accompanied by the friendliness and helpfulness of the staff

10/11/2025: We were here in October, so it was less crowded than in the summer. The food was delicious. Excellent pizzas. The service was friendly and helpful. A beautiful spot with a view of the sea.

09/11/2025: Just for an espresso, but after seeing the restroom, I wouldn't eat there. Right by the sea 🌊, I imagine it would be cozy with the large terrace. It rained when we were there.
