I migliori ristoranti di cucina mediterranea in Messina

21/10/2025: What a fantastic lunch! The food was absolutely delicious, the service was super friendly, and those views from the top of Taormina down to the straight of Messina, were just incredible. Such a beautiful spot to relax and enjoy a great meal — can’t wait to come back next time I’m in town!

21/10/2025: From a very fussy Traveller, the food was great along with the friendly and patient service! 😆. Grazie mille and full credit to Medi! Thanks for the great service

06/10/2025: Nice location and friendly service. The food was okay, but nothing more.

04/10/2025: Excellent restaurant, good fish, breathtaking view and reasonable prices

21/06/2025: Nice place, outside the stupid traps of the center. All at a fair and friendly price.

18/06/2025: Very good service and a wonderful view at sunset. But the price is too high: 2 gin and tonics and 2 snacks for 48 euros in total. What we don't understand is where the 9 euros per snack come from

02/11/2025: The restaurant is a bit anonymous from an aesthetic point of view but the food is excellent... excellent price... we will definitely be back

29/10/2025: Good but prices are a little high

24/09/2025: We organized a wonderful party for about 60 people at Manuja in September 2025 under the new management of Giorgia and her husband. Aside from their kindness and helpfulness, the food was delicious, we had a great time, the place was magical, and the buffet was so good! We had both vegetarians and celiacs, and they were able to accommodate every request. Thank you so much for organizing our pre-wedding!

24/08/2025: Our expectations were a bit disappointing, with pizzas that were unfortunately not good. I can only hope that it was just a moment and that everything becomes 5 stars 😜

17/09/2025: Good place for a simple meal, decent cuisine. Too bad we couldn't enjoy a sea view, but overall the food is still satisfactory and the flavors are quite classic.

10/09/2025: I had the pleasure of dining here last night. The place is very elegant and pleasant. We were served by very kind and helpful waiters, always ready to recommend the right food. We started with a delicious shrimp cocktail, followed by spaghetti with clams and gnocchi with pesto and shrimp, all accompanied by a fruity white wine that made the dinner incredibly tasty. We finished with a panna cotta and an apple tart. Nothing to add, everything was perfect. The sound of the waves in the background created a magical atmosphere. If you love good food, this is a must-try, highly recommended!

20/09/2025: There's nothing wrong with this place, located in the historic part of Milazzo. The very kind young waiter served us impeccably. That said, waiting an hour and a half for a plate of seafood spaghetti is unacceptable. Out of respect for the people accompanying us, I didn't leave early.

10/09/2025: We stumbled upon Il Giardino di Sicilia Milazzo while looking for a place to grab dinner. It was a perfect experience! The staff is friendly and attentive, and the food is absolutely amazing! We ordered many different dishes and they even gave us a tasting portion of each dish for the table so everyone could try what the other was having. It was such a pleasant experience and i am tempted to book another flight to sicily simply to come back and eat here!

05/10/2025: Excellent food, excellent service, very well-trained and kind staff, beautiful place with sea view.

25/09/2025: The food is incredibly delicious and beautifully presented. The staff is very friendly and attentive. The restaurant is also located right by the sea, so you have a fantastic view, and the prices are reasonable. A definite recommendation!

17/07/2025: Non è stata la prima volta che ci sono stata, e speravo che qualcosa fosse cambiata dall'una volta. Sicuramente si, ma in peggio, sia come qualità che come quantità. Parte degli antipasti sono stati richiesti perché dimenticati di servirli, qualche altro dimenticato proprio! La fetta di carne arrosto da dividere in due persone🤦. Ed il prezzo pure aumentato!! Ok, la prossima volta opteremo per altro.....

13/07/2025: Ho cenato al Ristorante Pane e Vino e sono rimasto molto soddisfatto. L'ambiente è accogliente e il personale è stato gentilissimo e disponibile. Ho ordinato l'antipasto la carne squisita, con sapori equilibrati e una presentazione curata. Anche il rapporto qualità-prezzo è ottimo. Lo consiglio vivamente!"

18/10/2025: Just a steak, no side dishes. You pay more if you use a plate and a fork..

17/10/2025: Nice place in middle of Taormina. Good food and fast service. Enjoyed last dinner on our trip to Italy and Sicily- for this time.

17/07/2025: Il ristorante conferma l’alta qualità che lo contraddistingue da anni. Menù ben assortito per tutte le portate, molto curate e con sapori mediterranei ben definiti. Servizio inappuntabile, senza attese snervanti. Il personale di sala (tutti giovani!) gentilissimo, pronto ed efficiente. Prezzi in linea con la qualità e la localizzazione.

17/07/2025: Siamo a Panarea, la più glamour delle sette, nonché la perla. La nostra scelta è ricaduta in questo storico e iconico ristorante dell’isola, dove si respira aria di mondanità e sapori autentici. Servizio lodevole e prezzi rapportati…come un po’ da tutti, ma qui sei appagato !

20/09/2025: A good place to eat seafood is essential. They cook quite well, with an excellent slice of pauro, and a good mixed fried fish platter with various types of fish. Perhaps the shrimp and calamari were missing, but the cuttlefish made up for it. The fish appetizer, which was rather sparse, could use a rethink. All in all, a place worth trying. And last but not least, the service was impeccable and fast. The only flaw is the location, which is from the 1980s, but the quality of the food makes up for it. It's been closed for good for several months now.

11/04/2025: Honestly one of my favorite places to eat in Messina, the hidden ones that at a very honest price make you eat like heaven

31/10/2025: We ordered 3 portions of fish and chips and squid to take away. The food was prepared very slowly. (approx. 20-30 minutes) When paying, it turned out that we could not pay by card, only cash. The paper cone we received contained very little squid, but at least it was expensive. We will not go here again, I do not recommend it.

29/10/2025: The arancini were okay, but the pizza was just okay in my opinion. Poor edges, cold, nothing special.

27/10/2025: Great atmosphere! Live music, not Italian, but very good classic rock covers! Good drinks, divine atmosphere. Several of Taormina's staircases and squares have been transformed into restaurants or pubs, which is beautiful!

03/10/2025: Very long wait times (few customers, simple dishes, etc.). Ingredients listed on the menu aren't served. The answer is, "There are different preparation methods, we cook it differently here." Please don't write that on the menu.
