I migliori ristoranti di cucina mediterranea in Messina

14/11/2025: High-quality venue with superb service and atmosphere. Abir the main server was outstanding, his attentiveness and in-depth knowledge of the served local food made the experience exceptional.

11/11/2025: Highly recommended. The food was fantastic and the service incredible. The owner, Francesco, his wife, and Abir were all very kind and attentive, taking excellent care of us. They were always on top of things.

08/12/2025: I'll start by saying that there's nothing to say about the quality of the products, of course, but if you raise the prices and decrease the quantities, little by little the customers who have always preferred you for years (like us) will change destination. It's normal for those who come from out of town and are just passing through not to know the first place and therefore it seems normal to pay a lot and the dishes seem endless. But those who are used to coming specifically and know the place, comparing today to last year, can say that everything has changed. However, since now everything is projected towards self-interest and they don't take into account that there are customers who travel miles and there is no minimum consideration, it's better to change because always the same old soup paid triple the price becomes indigestible in the long run. It was nice while it lasted, but it's better not to come back because fortunately there are even better places. We are all useful and no one is indispensable, so greetings and kisses 😘😘

08/12/2025: Everything was really good and the staff were very kind.

24/10/2025: A chance visit turns out to be a worthwhile destination. The dishes are ambitious, inventive, and very well-cooked. The chef/owner explains everything – even in English. The recommended wines were a great match. The service is very friendly, attentive, and unobtrusive.

22/10/2025: Anyone who, like us, spends a few weeks traveling in Italy is always looking for exciting, creative restaurants that stand out from the "normal" menu. The name was a teaser for us: a restaurant that refines its delicious and finely tuned creations with the right oil! Wow! We weren't disappointed! The beef carpaccio was so tender and, in its presentation, a unique culinary delight. The orange and fennel salad, delicate notes perfectly balanced! The homemade bread made from select flours was steaming and served with various olive oils by the chef. We also learned a bit about their origins. The primi, fantastic homemade pasta with unusual sauces... e.g., snails and sea urchin...a dream. The pork belly for the main course highly recommended! Please: definitely go if you want to experience something special! We were simply thrilled! Thank you 😋

08/11/2025: A splendid seaside setting where the captivating notes of Maestro Pino Portelli harmoniously accompany the most diverse and imaginative dishes, expertly prepared by skilled hands and served by a helpful and attentive staff. Highly recommended for a lovely evening!

27/10/2025: I went to this place because some friends recommended it. Besides the excellent food, the evening was enlivened by the pleasant music of Pino Portelli. I recommend it!

22/09/2025: Very friendly staff, location: a terrace overlooking the sea. Fresh air, unique dishes, well-prepared.

15/09/2025: Unique location, spectacular sunset over Alicudi and Filicudi! Welcoming, friendly, and... knowledgeable staff! Original, flavorful, and beautifully presented dishes. Exquisite desserts! Worth a sunset aperitif/dinner...

11/11/2025: Fixed price menu, everything good I would add tasty Sicilian appetizers... rather than prepared dishes like mozzarella and tomatoes

05/11/2025: Excellent restaurant, located in a position that allows you to admire the sea from above. Traditional Sicilian food, excellent quality, excellent service, and excellent value. Highly recommended!!!

08/09/2025: I ate excellent raw ham, although the portion was certainly not large. The staff was friendly and knowledgeable. The only flaw is that the restaurant isn't air-conditioned.

06/09/2025: Great relaxing day at the Ipanema Guess, attentive staff, a charming place, I recommend it without hesitation

02/12/2025: They had really good pasta there! - And I had eaten a lot of pasta elsewhere in the days before.

30/11/2025: Really nice food, had Marinara pizza and Sicilian meat ball, the meatball was really special, highly recommend. Also the decoration was typical Sicilian style, really pretty

18/11/2025: Everything was delicious! The wine list is extensive, and you can choose in the shop with the help of the sommelier, who offers excellent advice. The service is impeccable and attentive… under the watchful eye of Mamma herself, who makes sure her guests want for nothing…

17/11/2025: Very good food, great atmosphere, great service!!

27/11/2025: I cant leave review on their food as the restaurant was closed, the resturant hasn't bothered to update their Google operating hours.. we have travelled from Taormina thinking to check the beautiful view enjoy good after, but we were left disappointed. We understand that it is off season times ( end of Nov 2025) but at least they should have made an update as there are still people travelling.

25/11/2025: A must! stunning location, homemade authentic Italian 🇮🇹 food - don’t hesitate! best food on that rock 💫

07/12/2025: I visited Tratoria Rapisardi yesterday. It's a wonderful family atmosphere. The young owner is a fantastic guy.

01/12/2025: Entering Trattoria Rapisardi was like stepping into the past: a past made of authentic flavors, genuine aromas, and family-style recipes. Chef Andrea Gentile perfectly embodies this philosophy: simplicity, passion, and a smile ready to describe each dish as if it were a little journey into the most authentic Sicily.

02/10/2025: A restaurant worth a detour. Run for 21 years by the couple Manuel, in the kitchen, and Eliana, the hostess. The digital menu showcases beautiful dishes, including antipasti, pronk, and secondi. The dolce are also highly recommended. We started with ravioli filled with fish, presented in a lovely fish sauce. We also had linguine with pink prawns. It came with a superb sauce and beautifully balanced in flavor. We continued with the crispy fresh fish of the day. Perfectly cooked! The same was true for the Scottish steak tagliata. It came with a green salad with some Parmesan and oil. Delicious! We finished with a cannelono filled with ricotta and a warm flan with a liquid pistachio filling. A delicious bottle of Grillo accompanied it, a beautiful white with character. Everything was served with humor and expert advice. A truly memorable place.

30/09/2025: A pleasant surprise. Excellent food, from preparation to presentation. Welcoming atmosphere and a kind hostess.

18/11/2025: Excellent!! I didn't know this place, but honestly, it's worth a try. The atmosphere is fantastic, the food is excellent, and the staff is friendly and very professional.

18/11/2025: A great experience at today’s lunch. The place is wonderful, with excellent service and delicious food. You can choose from the business lunch menu, but many guests opted for a perfectly prepared steak made just for them. The wine selection was great, and the atmosphere was fantastic. I would definitely recommend this place.

01/11/2025: The food was excellent and the staff were friendly. It was the best restaurant I've tried recently.

01/11/2025: We've eaten there four times... and we could eat there every day. We felt very comfortable there. We were always warmly welcomed. The food was the best we've ever had. The team there is like a family. Thank you for the culinary journey at your restaurant.

10/11/2025: Excellent meal at this excellent restaurant. Generous portions, friendly service. Good value for money. Highly recommended!

09/11/2025: This restaurant found my daughter while we were walking in the garden (Parco Trevelyan). This perfect restaurant is locked very close to the main entrance of the beautiful garden. The food is delicious, but very hommy) The service is warm, like you are in your home. Our favorite dish was "Fish in lemon sause". We really recommed to try it. We definetly will come back to this restaurant, if we travel to Taormina.
