I migliori ristoranti di cucina mediterranea in Messina

09/10/2025: Fantastic from start to finish. Very considered food - excellent depth of flavour, interesting combinations, presented beautifully and diligently served. The amuse-bouches highlight the chef’s devotion to detail and delight. The fact that so many of the dishes across the menu are coeliac-friendly highlights the thoughtfulness of the recipes. Worth every cent

02/10/2025: We went to this restaurant thanks to the various reviews. An excellent discovery of Sicilian cuisine. Everything was perfect, from the welcome, to the kindness of the server, to the contact of the CHEF with whom we spoke, and of course his innovative cuisine. Excellent dishes, interspersed with petits fours. We would like to return, but we are just passing through... Thank you very much.

29/10/2025: Late lunchtime = Italian lunchtime! We hadn't made a reservation, but we still got a wonderful table in the second row with a view of the sea and the Chiesa della SS Trinità – where director Francis Ford Coppola filmed scenes from "The Godfather." The staff is incredibly friendly. You simply feel welcome! The food was divine (Antipasto di Mare Freddo Anni 60 and Bruschette della Nostra Terra) and my personal culinary highlight of our tour through Sicily. Gracie!

20/10/2025: Trattoria Anni Sixty is a true gem on the Sicilian coast. The food is exceptional, from perfectly cooked pasta to an outstanding carbonara, every dish is full of authentic flavor and care. The view from the terrace is breathtaking, offering a panoramic look over the coastline that makes every meal feel special. The service is warm, genuinely friendly, and never intrusive. Prices are very reasonable, especially considering the excellent quality of both food and atmosphere. Highly recommended, a perfect spot to experience the taste and spirit of Sicily.

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!

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

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.

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!!

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.

20/10/2025: Excellent, high-quality food, a homey, intimate atmosphere. Highly recommended!

19/10/2025: We had a wonderful meal! The appetizer, featuring traditional cured meats and cheeses, caponata, ricotta with honey, and numerous small appetizers, was delicious. The first courses were delicious, and for the second course, a tender and flavorful mixed roast. To finish, the cannoli with ricotta were exceptional, accompanied by an excellent liqueur. A welcoming and well-kept restaurant, with Carmelo, the extremely kind owner, and his wife, an excellent cook who prepares authentic dishes. Excellent value. A true corner of Sicily where you can savor local flavors!

06/11/2025: A small Italian trattoria serving homemade, family-style cuisine. You'll feel warmly welcomed and enjoy delicious Italian food. We loved the lasagna, and it was an excellent choice! Go without hesitation :)

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.

18/09/2025: Excellent meat dishes: tasty, cooked to perfection, the best in Messina! Also very good is the pasta with squid ink and risottos. Very good appetizers both raw (tartare etc.) and cooked. In particular the cheeses with fig and onion jams are sublime. Wide selection of wines. Competent and very courteous staff.
