I migliori ristoranti di cucina mediterranea in Messina

02/07/2025: Great location. Great food. Knowledgeable staff, constantly present. The owner, Mrs. Clelia, is very kind. I recommend it.

30/06/2025: It didn't convince me. Ranging from the palate to the quantity, quality, location, I didn't appreciate any particular strong points that would have made the difference. Acceptable.

08/07/2025: Everything was perfect, I recommend this beach club! Thanks to the welcoming staff :)

08/07/2025: Found this place last minute on Google. Lovely place lovely beach restaurant was fantastic. Highly recommend.

07/06/2025: Nowadays, finding a dish that surprises you and makes you discover totally new flavors is definitely not easy. For this I am grateful to the chef. For example, I think that the spaghettoni with anemones and sea urchins can only be tasted here and it is really worth it! And in any case, all the dishes are prepared with care and attention to the raw materials. Just to give an example, for each dish the oil with which it is prepared is mentioned!

01/06/2025: Excellent. I don’t have a lot to say but this: The service is exceptional, the chief comes to present you your dishes, and everyone is nice. When it comes to the food, it’s simply amazing. And for the place itself, it’s decorated with taste and the place is calm.

04/07/2025: Excellent service... exquisite food in a hidden spot... worth a visit!!! 👍🏼 The best in town if you want to avoid the typical tourist restaurants!! Thanks for the unbeatable service, Francesco!!

02/07/2025: Le Naumachie is one of the best places to eat in Taormina. Situated next to the remains of one of the most historic corners of Taormina (the Naumachia building), it is atmospheric and majestic. The restaurant’s chef offers his guests tasteful and stunning dishes, beautifully presented, equivalent to those of a Michelin * restaurant. In between each course, you are offered a (complimentary) amuse bouche, each one of them being a true state of the art! They have an excellent wine list, for every purse, starting from a fairly low price/bottle and raising up to thousands of euros/bottle, should you feel spendy 😊 (this is not to be considered as a drawback, though, since one can pick one of the value-for-money wines they offer at lower prices)! The restaurant has surely invested well and wise on their service, which was excellent -relaxed and friendly, as another client suggested- and always ready to discuss their menu options and offer analytical details about everything (including the site’s history 😊). The signora at the entrance (I believe the owner’s mother) invites you at the restaurant as if you were back home! We will surely enjoy another dinner at this fantastic restaurant, when we return to Taormina, and enjoy an even better bottle of wine (or even two), something that we weren’t able to do this time, since we had an almost 2-hour drive back to Siracusa and drinking and driving is not advisable! The price range below included a value-for-money bottle of wine, two starters and two main courses.

21/06/2025: The mussels were amazing and the waiters were very attentive and helpful.

21/06/2025: I ordered a prawn pasta, unfortunately the shrimp was very mushy (clearly been frozen for a while and not fresh). The pasta got nice sauce, but what a let down by the quality of prawns.. To be honest, they did put on the menu that prawns may be frozen, but I have asked the waiter to check if prawns are fresh and he said he would check but no response after that until the pasta was served. My husband had a seafood pasta, which turned out to be good, it had mussels, clams, a langoustine, all seemed to be fresh. Lastly, waited for a check for half an hour even though there were only 2 other tables.

14/06/2025: So nice we went here twice. You will not find a better beach club for the money in Taormina. For 30 euros you get shuttle service to the club and back with three time options. Two chairs and umbrella front row, first come first serve. Nice restaurant with reasonable prices and great fresh seafood. Clean bathrooms, outdoor shower and changing rooms. The absolute most crystal clear water I have ever seen. Polite and friendly staff. They even threw in two fresh towels. Bring water shoes you will want them! Call the day before to reserve your shuttle. I don't do many 5 star reviews but this place deserves it 100%

12/06/2025: Family-friendly beach. Clear sea. Comfortable bathrooms and changing rooms. Excellent free shower service and delicious food served at the restaurant (fresh fish) at honest prices. If I were to return to Taormina as a tourist I would return without a shadow of a doubt.

17/05/2025: "An unforgettable lunch at this restaurant! The breathtaking view is paired with exceptional cuisine. The appetizers were a real treat, the first courses were creative and flavorful, while the second courses were simply excellent. The staff were wonderful and courteous, making the experience even more enjoyable. I would highly recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for a special lunch!"

14/05/2025: For those who want to enjoy a special pizza

25/06/2025: Traditional cuisine, simple, good and cheap.

21/06/2025: You eat well, they are very kind, try it. Good, but I can't give more stars.

29/06/2025: The best restaurant in the area! Very good food! We tried vegetable soup, paste with guanciale and pistachios, pork, chicken, seafood, desserts and every dish was delicious! We have been here several times. Nice atmosphere and polite service. I recommend!

29/06/2025: I had dinner at this restaurant with a friend and I have to say, exquisite dinner! Reserved place and away from the chaos! Delicate and tasty swordfish rolls! Top fried calamari! Spaghetti La Spelonca delicious and super seasoned cooked al dente just how I like it! Linguine alla pescatora superlative! The staff is kind and attentive! Irene the owner very sweet and kind! The chef prepared and attentive even to the smallest details! If you are looking for a place where eating well is the priority do not hesitate!

12/07/2025: Honestly - best meal we’ve had on our trip in southern Sicily. We had salade caprese, grilled veggies, the ravioli (! Highly recommend!) and a tiramisu 👌🏼 Julia & Toto were great hosts, the service was amazing. We’ll come back ✌🏼

11/07/2025: This is a lovely family run restaurant, a little bit off the beaten track and with beautiful gardens across the road. The food we had was lovely, bresaola, rocket and Parmesan to start, then tempura prawns and pasta with prawns and pistachio pesto. Accompanied by local wine. It was very tasty and good value. We enjoyed our meal very much.

25/06/2025: Owner was checking on every table and it didn’t feel forced at all. Great food and Great Service 11/10

22/06/2025: Fantastic food and service. Cozy atmosphere and great location. A bit hidden away but would recommend anyone visiting Taormina to eat here! Order something from the "catch of the day" menu and you won't be disappointed!

22/06/2025: Excellent quality food, more than kind and friendly staff, very well prepared and breathtaking environment..what can I say, highly recommended and approved. If we were to pass by here again, we will definitely come back! Congratulations guys, keep it up!

13/06/2025: Beautiful restaurant, definitely worth the money. Dishes were delicious and just a little different than the other restaurants that didn't really have local things. When we were there there were very cute kittens, these will of course not be small forever but that was a plus for me.

03/07/2025: We were in Taormina for a week and visited different places. We probably had dinner and lunch here 6 times, because it can't be compared with other places. Everything was great, very tasty, high quality and the prices were very pleasant, the service was top notch! We were always complimented when we came back. We also chose this place to celebrate a birthday and didn't regret it! I highly recommend it, this place has become our favorite place in Taormina!

02/07/2025: A wonderful little pub on the sidelines, during the day only regulars, so I didn't have to wait for a table. The service was impolite, and the food was delicious. The best pizza I've ever eaten (fantasia), you can taste the fresh ingredients from the top shelf.

03/07/2025: I think that in the last 4 or 5 years I have never eaten such good fish. Simple manufacturing in the name of flavor. In every dish you can find Sicilian tradition. The dish that I point out among others are the tagliatelle with tenerumi swordfish eggs and shrimp, but I do not want to forget the swordfish rolls with a superlative caponata.

15/06/2025: Excellent trattoria located right in the center of Santo Stefano di Camastra, we ordered a very tasty and flavorful grilled fish, you can feel that it is fresh, excellent service, I had a good time as well as the environment, I recommend you go there.

04/07/2025: A unique and magical environment... excellent food and truly top-notch staff... a unique and magical location with a wonderful view... Isola Bella!!!! A big thank you to the chefs for having pampered and satisfied us.. A huge thank you to our super waiters Matteo and Giovanni for having pampered and satisfied our little children.. thank you thank you thank you

27/06/2025: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Ristorante Da Giovanni is a true gem! From the moment we stepped inside, we were greeted with authentic Italian hospitality and a cozy, inviting atmosphere. The food was nothing short of spectacular—each dish prepared with fresh ingredients and presented with care. The linguine vongole was delicate and full of flavor, the rich bolognese was comfort in a bowl, and the lobster—tender and perfectly seasoned—was a showstopper. Pair all of that with a breathtaking view that sweeps across the coastline, and you’ve got a dining experience that’s both elegant and soul-warming. The staff made the evening even more special with their friendly service and thoughtful recommendations. You can feel the love and tradition behind every plate. Whether you're celebrating a special occasion or just craving a slice of Italy, this place delivers with charm and flavor. Grazie mille, Da Giovanni—we’ll definitely be back!
