I migliori ristoranti di cucina italiana in Messina

14/01/2026: Guy's, Amazing food and atmosphere. La Parmigiana is one of the best. Just local! Come here and enjoy 😉

09/01/2026: Delicious spaghetti with tomatoes and spaghetti aglio olio. Italian flair, breathtaking view.

24/08/2025: Terrible, confused and unprofessional staff and management, poor food.

19/08/2025: If I could give zero stars I would, the place itself is also beautiful on the seafront, as soon as we arrived we had to absorb the complaints of the waiter Emanuele, immediately afterwards the apparently kind but very authoritative owner shows up with the depressed waiter, we order two appetizers and two fried dishes, one thinks that being in Sicily and on the seafront the fish, regardless of the price, is of excellent quality and size, instead in my opinion they take the scraps to cook them as best as possible, then if we want to talk about the oil for frying they certainly haven't changed it since December 1st January, unfortunately, not knowing the place we were ripped off in everything even economically 80 € is stolen, forget it, stay away and have a loaf of bread with mortadella which is better

21/09/2025: An insult to Italian food, the worst meal I’ve had in 4 months of travelling through Europe. Extremely overpriced too. Such a shame for such a glorious island.

21/09/2025: The apartment is in an exceptional location, but they didn't have the reservation made two months before. It took a lot of nerves and discussion with the manager The restaurant was a joke, disappointing food, not good at all and very expensive and bad service

06/02/2026: From light pizza to immense sandwiches, the best in Messina

18/01/2026: I returned to this pizzeria after a while, and I honestly found the behavior of the waitress who served us unacceptable (black hair and dark glasses). I swear I've never had such a bad experience. I KINDLY asked for a replacement glass because, even though I hadn't used it, it was dirty. The response was incredibly rude. Leaving that aside, I asked for a small change to the pizza: that the basil pesto be removed. Of course, they brought me a pizza with 3 kg of basil pesto on top, and it was loaded with salt, so I left it all. The fries were completely raw. I don't know what happened to this place because in the past years, I remember having always eaten very well... what a shame.

01/01/2026: Ordered pinsa at 2:00 PM and waited 50 minutes. After repeated reminders, they told us they were in the oven. Waited another 20 minutes and the wrong pinsa arrived.!!! At least let them know about the wait time.

23/11/2025: My rating is: The cappuccino was acceptable, the kind of pastry with the apples was not soft.... Prices are sky high.

17/10/2025: We had a very pleasant evening here - this place is casual non-pretentious and relaxed. We had lasagne, salad and deserts. Salad was fresh and tasty. We loved the ice cream in a cup too. With beer and wine and a reasonable bill - what is there not to like?

16/10/2025: To each his own. But our food and experience was excellent.

01/08/2025: Accueil et service catastrophiques. Personnel et responsable arrogants et irrespectueux, à la limite du tolérable . On nous a demandé 4x si on voulait le restaurant ou la pizzeria en sous sol . Le repas était bon , mais ce comportement gâche tout . Les tables avec vue sur la magnifique terrasse ne sont pas accessibles au commun des mortels. Je déconseille fortement ce restaurant .

30/07/2025: Visited Granduca in July 2025 on the anniversary of our wedding. Especially especially as we had our wedding meal here 22 years ago to the day. First issue was they couldn’t find our booking despite us going in a week earlier and booking our table. That was sorted and we were sat in a very nice seat overlooking the bay. Food was good, not brilliant but was okay. Service was shocking. So unfriendly, unwelcoming and downright snobby. We will not be returning.

10/11/2025: A welcoming and elegant venue with a good selection of cocktails and well-prepared dishes. The atmosphere is pleasant and the service is friendly. Ideal for a quiet evening or aperitif with friends. Overall, a good experience that deserves four stars.

31/05/2025: Good food quality but abnormal timing 1 hour and a half for a pizza and 3 first courses and the starter arrived after half an hour. Note that the place has a maximum of 25 lids when ordering. Staff mortified by the situation.

25/08/2025: Beautiful location, but rude, uninterested, and incompetent staff. It's impossible that in the middle of August there's no way to heat up a plate of roast potatoes, so we had to eat them cold. The restrooms are appalling, management definitely needs to be changed. The location has great potential, but it's not being fully exploited.

23/08/2025: Cold food, lazy, incompetent and rude staff, indecent toilets.

26/07/2025: Good variety of products, from breakfast croissants to classic biscuits, various types of bread, and even rustic pastries and focaccia. Satisfactory quality, friendly and courteous staff. I also had the opportunity to try the Too Good to Go box, a generous quantity with a variety of products, especially for breakfast. I absolutely recommend it.

04/06/2025: Congratulations, excellent pizza, and excellent price, first time I have the pleasure of trying your pizza and I was satisfied, I would definitely recommend your place, I will be happy to return 😉
