I migliori ristoranti di cucina italiana in Messina

19/04/2026: A great place to eat close to home. The wait staff is polite and friendly. The atmosphere is welcoming. The food is very good, especially the appetizers and desserts, the latter of which are amazing!

18/03/2026: Guys, this is fine dining! Outstanding, incredibly creative cuisine and attentive service. The prices are more than reasonable, almost too low for this level (shhh...). Treat yourselves!

04/07/2026: Great atmosphere and excellent pizzas! They don't bloat and always have fresh ingredients.

29/06/2026: Very nice location, precise and punctual service, pizza not exceptional, but good enough.

09/06/2026: Great pasta and service. A lovely atmosphere, and much less crowded than other places we visited in early June. Everything felt relaxed and enjoyable. I would definitely recommend it! Cheers.

09/06/2026: Excellent location, in the center of Taormina. Everyone who works there is very young, very kind and friendly. The food is truly good (hard to imagine in a tourist spot). Highly recommended. I hope it doesn't change. I'll definitely go on my next trip, already convinced of where to have lunch or dinner.

29/06/2026: A wonderful discovery, a small but very welcoming place. Everything is a bit simple, but you really feel at home. You might sit with strangers and end up making friends. Good food and good wine are also essential for that. The bread, cured meats, and cheeses are exceptional. The owner and his wife are super friendly, but the price is ridiculous: two sandwiches and two quarts of wine (spectacular) are €11! From now on, this will be my regular place.

27/06/2026: Delicious sandwiches but very rude service

04/11/2025: Large selection of ice creams, two scoops €4, average Italian taste, price more expensive due to the large number of tourists.

29/10/2025: Really good ice cream! Pistacchio is a must try. The staff is really polite and helpful :)

12/07/2026: A top-notch butcher shop. You can also eat there, and very good food, with very fair prices and very friendly staff. Highly recommended.

06/07/2026: Unparalleled traditional Messina cuisine

20/06/2026: I visited this restaurant after it was recommended to me as a "hidden gem." I'm very grateful for the kind service I received despite my unfamiliarity with ordering. The swordfish rolls called "Involtini," recommended by the staff, were incredibly delicious. They were unbelievably good. The vongole was also superb; the flavors were perfectly balanced, with each ingredient complementing the others without being overpowering. Compared to Japan, Italian portions are larger, so I couldn't order many dishes, but this is definitely a restaurant I want to return to. Next time, I'll definitely order the swordfish rolls, and I'd also like to try other pasta dishes!

05/06/2026: Very fine food, good atmosphere, superb service

23/06/2026: ABSOLUTELY POSITIVE EXPERIENCE. EVERYTHING EXCELLENT.

21/06/2026: This wonderful sunset rivals the beauty with which we were welcomed by Luigi, Desiree, and Omar. Excellent cocktails, excellent food, and a great location. I highly recommend it.

26/05/2026: I'm a bit torn about rating this restaurant, because my experience was marked by stark contrasts between the quality of the service and the livability of the place. The atmosphere: A decidedly sore point. The dining room is overcrowded, with too many tables crammed into a decidedly inadequate space. As a result, the tables are very close together and the atmosphere becomes extremely noisy, making it difficult even to chat. The service: The staff is excellent, courteous, and meticulous. However, the time management is decidedly too fast. In just an hour, we saw various appetizers, two first courses, and two second courses parade across the table. More than a relaxing lunch, it felt like a race against time: the risk is that you gorge yourself without being able to fully enjoy the dishes, which deserve a more relaxed pace. In summary: The food is good and the staff is excellent, but the rush and chaos of the dining room take away the pleasure of conviviality. Would I go back? Maybe yes, but only on a weekday and hoping for less crowds.

23/05/2026: Nice place, authentic food, unfortunately you have to take the full menu...

05/06/2026: Excellent food quality and a professional, friendly welcome. Recommended!

22/05/2026: Everything was delicious, top-quality, locally sourced products, delicious cured meats and cheeses, and the meat was truly delicious and well-cooked. Thanks to Lorella, who was incredibly kind; at the end of the meal, she even offered us an excellent hazelnut digestif. It's worth the drive to eat well in a very nice restaurant with a beautiful view of the mountains.

08/05/2026: Passing through Santo Stefano di Camastra we had dinner in this restaurant, very nice and elegant, excellent food both meat and fish, you eat well, I recommend it

02/08/2026: Exceptional trattoria! Beautiful and charming place. Excellent food; I rediscovered lost flavors in both the appetizers and the meat. The owners are exquisite. ❤️ We'll definitely be back during the week. ☺️

26/07/2026: Quiet and welcoming place, very kind staff, everything good and of excellent quality, excellent quality/price ratio.

05/04/2026: Everything was delicious...the staff were welcoming and friendly.

02/04/2026: The quality of the food was disappointing. We were 7 people, the appetizer was good but the main course was all forgettable. One of the fish was raw. Tasteless pasta. I do not recommend.

04/08/2026: Good food in a busy place. The pizzas could have been just a little crispier.

04/08/2026: I loved the Lasange. The service was good and we were happy with the food.
