I migliori ristoranti di cucina italiananella città Montalbano elicona della Messina

23/09/2025: The pizza was delicious, but the wait was too long. An hour and a half for a pizza seems too long.

18/08/2025: A horrifying experience. First time in Montalbano Elicona (a delightful little village, by the way), we decided to stop at this pizzeria in the middle of the pine forest. We sat down at a table at 8:35, and no one brought us menus or water until we flagged down the waiters, who were apparently extremely busy serving the tables outside. We ordered around 9, ordering four pizzas, two of which were the same. The drinks we'd ordered weren't available (I'm talking about a standard Coke Zero and a Corona), despite them offering alternatives. One of the four pizzas wasn't available because the ingredients weren't there, so we had to change our order. So far, nothing special. Then the drama: the wait. We had to wait over an hour and a half for four pizzas. After an hour, we asked how the pizzas we'd ordered were coming along, and instead of apologizing for the wait, we were told it wasn't their fault because there was only one oven and we'd have to wait a couple more orders. I should point out that the restaurant ONLY served pizzas; a single oven to serve 45-50 tables in one evening might be a bit limited. Needless to say, by the time the pizzas arrived, we'd already lost our appetite (and the drinks had also been finished). However, we were delighted to notice that while we were waiting, the waiters and pizza chefs stopped to chat with other customers from the town, making the wait even more unnerving. We got up to pay and were allowed to go ahead of us by some "friends" of the restaurant owners. When we paid the bill, no apology was offered for the wait, nor was there any attempt to remedy the situation. Even though the pizza was good, I wouldn't recommend going there under any circumstances.

22/09/2025: I was on a trip with my family and we stopped at this place. We wanted something quick, and they offered me a ring of bread topped with tomato and stretched curd. I paid €24 for the bread. When I asked to speak to the owner, you know what he said, "I'm fine. I got a proper receipt, and then I'll charge you for cutting the bread." Shameful, I'm speechless.

27/08/2025: Really sad. This bar used to be a great place to sit in the main square and have an ice cream. Now down at heel and v poor quality
