I migliori ristoranti di cucina italiana in Messina

14/11/2025: "A holiday of pure relaxation. Waking up to the sight and sound of the sea is a unique and rejuvenating experience. The culinary experience is equally superb: dining while admiring the beautiful view of the beach and the sea-view garden, enjoying excellent food, is the icing on the cake. Highly recommended for those seeking peace and well-being."

14/11/2025: We've discovered a corner of paradise. If you're looking for relaxation, picture-perfect views, and haute cuisine, this is the place. The sea view is priceless, especially at sunset. The dishes are delicious, made with fresh ingredients and local recipes. The tranquil atmosphere and attentive staff made our dinner a memorable experience. Highly recommended for couples or families seeking peace and good food.

01/11/2025: Yesterday we had lunch at Enotria, we had the truly delicious seafood salad, two first courses with very fresh fish, two tarts, one with persimmons and almonds and one with chocolate, pears and rum, excellent! I highly recommend it.

23/10/2025: Excellent location, excellent staff, clean and well organized, decorated dishes, really attentive to everything I recommend it

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

11/10/2025: Nice small place. Gelato is good, so is the ice cream sandwich. Owner was very nice.

14/12/2025: I had the pleasure, or rather, I got lost in flavors I thought were extinct!! The appetizers with cured meats and cheeses (the fried tuma was sublime), the small olives with just the right amount of saltiness, and the beans with pork rind were exceptional!!! But when they brought me the first course, "macaroni with sauce," I almost shed a tear. It was strictly HAND-MADE macaroni, which, along with the sauce, seemed made for each other! To top it all off, the waiters were very professional and attentive! In short, EXCELLENT lunch

11/11/2025: I've been going to Roccafiorita for many years, but I absolutely have to stop at Rist. La Fermata. Mr. Eugenio and I are family. The food is truly excellent, it's worth it!

03/12/2025: The best pastry and ice cream shop in Taormina.

02/12/2025: Great place to enjoy an excellent Sicilian Granita!

01/12/2025: Average, I tried the paccheri with swordfish and the mussel soup, good value for money, generous portions

26/11/2025: Best restaurant in Taormina, a real treat even for me, who doesn't eat dairy.

30/11/2025: Good food and very friendly staff. Perhaps the bill could have been a little lighter, since drinks aren't included in the menu; for three people, it easily costs over €120.

29/10/2025: A good-quality trattoria. Reasonable prices. Informal and welcoming atmosphere.

28/09/2025: Enchanting place, wonderful dinner with products of their own production. But above all the owners Cherubina, Giacomo, and their two daughters are exceptional people like few others today, always available and make you feel like real family.

21/09/2025: So many things can be said about agriturismo l'uliveto but for me 'coming home' sums up what staying here feels like. A truly family owned working farm, you can see the owners working hard from before 5 am until 11 at night if not later. The hosts, Giacomo and Cherubina are always at your disposal and if you ever need anything they'll do all they can to accommodate you and make your stay as great as it can be. When we arrived we were instantly swept away by the beauty of the farm, the olive trees, hundreds of years old scattered everywhere are definitely the main features, but nestled in between the sea of olive trees are, lemon, mandarin,nespola trees you can also spot the grapes, tomatoes, the herbs, and countless beautiful flowers scattered around. One thing to have in mind is Don't expect a 4-5 star hotel, we stayed in the room called "Limoneto" the room was quite basic but was big enough for a family of 4. The room was complete with a cooker and sink that is big enough to Cook a small meal and with a bathroom with a shower. The sleeping arrangements were a double bed for the adults and a sofa bed for the kids. However the room offered a piece of magic, the little courtyard. Having lunch outside under the shade of the umbrella with the most amazing views over the Sicilian mountainous rugged terrain was breathtaking. Another area where l'uliveto excels is with the eating. There's one dinning room where all guests have their meals and it always felt spacious and comfortable. Almost all the produce used comes from the farm, the eggs, the fruit, the hams, honey, olives, olive oil, etc, etc,etc. Breakfast was amazing, everyday Cherubina came out with her amazing cakes, fresh fruit which were mainly figs as this was what's in season, but not like the figs we buy in a supermarket, amazing tasting figs. We had also a basket of bread to go with a choice of jams, orange, lemon, fig, peach, etc. All homemade. Great coffee, I drink espresso, and their coffee was one of the best I've had, even across Italy. Always too much for us, however, we'd be offered a sheet of aluminium foil to take any of the leftovers with us. Diner which was often served at 8 for most guests was equally delicious, you would start with the primo, which consisted of a pasta dish. Homemade pasta mostly, and with a variety of sausages, yes, using their products. I will never forget the spaghetti with courgette pasta. The secondo consisted of a meat dish with various delicious sides, made from ingredients picked that day. Fagiolini, tomatoes, courgettes in many ways, salads, etc. anything that was ready to be picked, it would usually end up on our tables same day. The meat was mainly chicken or pork and always very flavoursome however the roasted wild boar was out of this world. The swimming pool was great, the times we used it it was quiet and clean and just like the rest of the farm it offered breathtaking views. All this said, words can't describe how welcoming Giacomo, Cherubina and family make you feel. The two weeks we spent at the Agriturismo l'uliveto we felt at home all credit to this hard working, kind family running one of the most authentic places we've visited. We can't wait to return here with the rest of our family as I am sure they'll fall in love with l'uliveto Just like we did.

06/10/2025: Gilberto's desserts are guaranteed to tempt you! The hospitality, food, and heavenly setting justify the distance from the port, which is also compensated by the 5-star shuttle service. Maria Tindara gets top marks!

28/09/2025: We just had a unique weekend! As soon as we arrived on Vulcano, we rented the legendary Mehari from Paolo and immediately headed to our peaceful oasis on Vulcano Piano! Maria Tindara is the most authentic place you can find on Vulcano! It's outside the port, true, but it's perfectly located halfway between Gelso and the port! The dinner was spectacular, an explosion of flavors! Save room for the desserts because they are incredible and definitely made with love! Gilberto was attentive to our every need, even recommending a truly unique spot with a breathtaking view of the islands and the crater rim to your left—a spot that rivals the climb up the crater the day before, and definitely less tiring! The rooms are simple and authentic, and in the evening you're only accompanied by the chirping of the cicadas! We'll always come back!

23/09/2025: The lobster pasta was excellent, with just the right portions. Excellent wine selection, knowledgeable staff. Small but elegant, it's best to reserve a table.

23/09/2025: Everything was great. The pizza was delicious. The starter, consisting of fries and croquettes, was huge, and we were almost full for the two of us. Highly recommended.

16/11/2025: A welcoming and comfortable place, with a varied and excellent menu, but special mention goes to the staff: professional, kind, and very helpful. Even though it was a fixed menu day, they were accommodating to our requests. Definitely recommended!

23/10/2025: Perfect authentic food, the service much friendlier than in some of the restaurants at the harbor

10/10/2025: Had the porcine mushroom pizza. Sherlock Holmes would have had a hard time finding a mushroom .

15/08/2025: The staff is friendly, the fresh pasta and tiramisu are excellent. Fresh and quality products!

07/08/2025: After two weeks in Taormina, we discovered this hidden gem on our last day and what a wonderful surprise! The warm, welcoming atmosphere created by the kind family who runs the place made us feel right at home. The food was exactly what we needed: comforting and full of flavor. The vegetable soup was absolutely delicious, the lamb cotoletta was tender and perfectly cooked, and the tagliatelle and swordfish rolls were just fantastic. On top of all that, the prices were the best we found in Taormina — great quality without the tourist mark-up. I only wish we had found this place sooner! Highly recommended.
