I migliori ristoranti di cucina italiana in Messina

07/04/2026: The food is very good, the staff very friendly, and the setting is incredible. I highly recommend it! A very good place to eat.

07/04/2026: We did a beautiful hike from Taormina up to the top of the hill, which was definitely the highlight of our visit. The views were absolutely breathtaking — we could see Etna, the sea, and the Teatro Greco. It was truly stunning. In the evening after the dinner we went all the way down by walk, very easy, comfortable and illuminated. The restaurant also offers a very nice view, but I would recommend going when the weather is warm and the windows are open to fully enjoy it. The service was very kind and welcoming, which we really appreciated. The food was good —around four-star, but we had slightly higher expectations when it came to the cuisine.

01/11/2025: Nice people and service. Delicious food and desserts. Thank you

27/10/2025: Chance stop for lunch. Pizza square for lunch . Amazing. Brown dough with hand picked olives personally preserved by the owner. Best pizza I have had in Italy. Great cappuccino (no long life milk at this cafe) Friendly owner who suggested the almond granita with pistachio gelato. Perfect combination and so good. We even had a second cappuccino with the dessert. Thanks for such a kind welcome and a wonderful experience. Best culinary surprise of our trip.

07/04/2026: Bam Bar is definitely worth the hype! There was a queue when we arrived, but it moved surprisingly fast, so don’t let that put you off. The place itself is beautiful, with an authentic and very special design that makes it feel unique and full of character — you can really feel the charm of Taormina. The granita was incredibly fresh and flavorful, and you can taste the quality in every bite. The atmosphere is lively and fun, and it’s easy to see why it was featured in The White Lotus.

06/04/2026: The best granita and brioche ever!!

05/04/2026: Very nice ice cream they had dark chocolate which was especially good

21/10/2025: Lovely place, with great ice cream options!

04/04/2026: Room is facing the sea. Fantastic view! Service is very good. Hotel is very near the cable car station. Very convenient to go to taormina Town.

02/04/2026: Great place to clear your mind and think

07/04/2026: A warm, lively place where the traditional cuisine is delicious and reasonably priced. Highly recommended.

06/04/2026: Delicious, friendly service, good prices

17/11/2025: I had dinner at 3 Quarti in Taormina and was truly won over: a restaurant that works with integrity, taste, and great attention to detail. I started with a beef tartare: precisely cut, fresh meat, and just the right amount of seasoning, with a salad, cherry tomatoes, and cream that complement the dish without overpowering its flavor. For my second course, I had a meat dish with potatoes and green beans: perfectly cooked, the meat tender on the inside and beautifully browned on the outside, resting on a creamy potato base; the crispy green beans add balance and lightness. You can sense the chef's touch, attentive to the ingredients and the cooking process: linear, focused, flawless dishes. Exceptional service, relaxed atmosphere. In conclusion, 3 Quarti is a restaurant I would recommend without hesitation to anyone seeking refined, authentic cuisine in Taormina.

15/11/2025: After a week in Sicily, I’ve come to think Italian food is massively overrated. HOWEVER, this place was amazing. Every dish slapped. Wines slapped. Dessert — boom. Dad and daughter serving tables — heartwarming. Honestly wish I’d come back here

06/01/2026: Our favourite restaurant in Taormina! We came here on our first evening of our honeymoon and enjoyed it so much we came back on our last. The restaurant interior is lovely, but we enjoyed sitting in the courtyard on both occasions. Food was absolutely delicious and cooked to perfection. All the staff were very helpful and friendly, explaining dishes and helping us to find the right wine pairings. The manager in particular was super friendly. All round incredible place and a must visit.

04/01/2026: Very, very good food! Pleasant atmosphere and extremely friendly staff! I recommend!

02/11/2025: Ristorante Le Orologio is an absolute gem! The food was exceptional, every dish was fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. The restaurant’s design is elegant yet cozy, blending modern style with classic Sicilian charm. The patio offers a truly unique panoramic view of the town and the sea, especially stunning at sunset. Dining here feels like an experience rather than just a meal, excellent service, relaxing atmosphere, and unforgettable scenery. Whether you’re visiting for a romantic dinner or a casual lunch, Le Orologio delivers perfection in taste, ambiance, and view. Definitely one of the must-visit spots in the area!

14/10/2025: My mother and I arrived here. We had planned to eat, but we decided to have a glass of wine. So we asked for the menu and ended up giving it back because we only wanted a glass of wine. A grumpy face immediately appeared. Well, we just accepted that until the bill finally arrived. €20 for two glasses of house wine. How badly can you get ripped off? I'd say if you only want a drink, go somewhere else quickly, because they'll rip you off right here.

17/10/2025: Where you think it's just a dream, it's actually reality. Villa Alba, the tree houses, is a truly splendid place. It feels like a fairytale, the breathtaking sunsets change the scenery every time, all it takes is a cloud and everything takes on a different shape. The kindness and helpfulness... is immense. I've had contact with Mrs. Tiziana, who is extremely kind, courteous, and available, even to grant unexpected wishes. I'm absolutely in love with this place. Highly recommended.

14/10/2025: This is the second time we've been guests at an event at this location... the first was for a wedding, where I was blown away by the beauty and meticulous care of the gardens that served as the backdrop. Eight years later, for a baptism, I noticed that the attention to detail and the location haven't changed (perhaps improved). Everything was perfect, the staff was friendly and attentive. My expectations for the food were high, but they were fully met. What can I say? Overall, in my opinion, Villa Alba is the best place for events and ceremonies right now. Congratulations

14/10/2025: THIS IS NEXT LEVEL EATING!!!! Paola and her team are the BEST. I couldn't help myself & visited this place on a number of occasions including my birthday. They really made me feel special on that day and they speak great English. LOVED EATING AT THIS PLACE

12/10/2025: Absolutely delicious meal, mahi mahi fish was exceptional. Really nice spot in Malfa.

08/04/2026: A restaurant beautifully situated on Isola Bella. We went there in the evening without a reservation and managed to get a table. The menu was varied, but the prices were above average. Despite having a starter, main course, and dessert, we unfortunately left feeling a bit hungry. That would have been fine, as the food tasted great, but for the price, one naturally expects something different. The service was adequate. The single waiter tried his best to manage everything on his own while remaining friendly.

07/04/2026: Exceptional lunch with a breathtaking view! The dishes are carefully prepared and the fish is incredibly fresh. Impeccable service. The setting, a terrace overlooking Isola Bella, is welcoming and clean. The staff is friendly and professional. Excellent value for money. Highly recommended!

28/10/2025: We were on a sailing holiday and arrived in Salina marina for the night. We chose this restaurant because it was small but busy. We now know why it was busy even for off season. The food was fabulous. The yellowtail was especially good. Although a limited selection the wine was local and good. Highly recommended.

28/10/2025: A fantastic experience for simple, classic with a twist Aeolian cuisine! We had a wonderful dinner while in Salina and would highly recommend the restaurant. Chef Fillipo is a genius when it comes to taking the most humble of local ingredients and turning them into absolute delicacies. Starting with the broad bean soup with herbed ricotta and anchovies a classic Sicilian soup taken to the next level with fresh herbed ricotta and salty anchovies. We both wanted meat for so we chose the black pork sausages and the house made beef spiedini both absolutely delicious and so simple and we both had the purslane salad, foraged from the local mountains and just delicious. The salted mandarin sorbet with Lemon jam was a perfect finish. We loved everything and would highly recommended you visit.

15/02/2026: Excellent value for money, especially the high-quality meat and generous portions. Everyone was very kind and helpful. I recommend it.

25/01/2026: Everything was excellent and the service was attentive. The view was beautiful, definitely worth the trip.

31/03/2026: I hadn't been there in a couple of years and found the place even more beautiful and well-kept, and the food superb! The owners have even managed to improve on the previous offerings, which were already top-notch. The presentation of the dishes, the service, and the kind and welcoming staff all contribute to the perfect success of a lunch with friends, who were also literally amazed by the excellent quality/price ratio, once the bill arrived. The place is airy, and even with a large crowd, it was possible to hold a conversation at the table, almost undisturbed by background noise. This is another feature worth mentioning!

28/03/2026: Nice atmosphere, excellent food, fast and friendly staff. Well done everyone.
