I migliori ristoranti di cucina mediterranea in Messina

27/03/2026: Bar opened in 2003 in Cepagatti (PE). Spacious and bright, with beautiful windows overlooking the square of a residential center. The bar also has outdoor seating for warmer weather. Ample parking. Decent selection of pastries, very friendly staff. Very pleasant atmosphere. Prices in line with the market.

12/01/2026: Wonderful place, original sandwiches, friendly and helpful service... buy the T-shirt...

24/08/2025: Really good. The sandwiches are 500g each, so I recommend getting one for two people. The sandwiches are made with excellent quality ingredients and are nice and filling. The staff is very young and friendly.

23/08/2025: The Jeep guy owes me an apology. Last night I was abused for leaving my car in the unloading lane, which has a 12-hour time limit. From 8:00 AM to 8:00 PM, I parked after 9:30 PM, and the guy thinks he owns the road. You couldn't unload the drinks in 12 hours? And you attacked us, saying you shouldn't park there and using foul language. Last night was my son's birthday, and you got us off to a bad start. I'm very careful when I park, and there were no handicapped spots. If there had been, I would have parked there. You weren't right, even though my children and I had to put up with your bad temper. The most rational thing would have been to admit your mistake and apologize.

19/08/2025: Ask for Maria Francesco Cotugno. Mr. Drink🍹 best place in the area!

29/04/2026: The best service we could imagine!

28/04/2026: The best vibe food and drinks in Taormina!!! The place is amazing and the stuff absolutely the cutest ❤️

15/04/2026: We saw this trattoria when arrived for a day's trip to Taormina and came back for lunch. And, we chose right: small, cozy, great food and wine, and music So happy we ate here.

15/04/2026: The staff were incredibly helpful. It was raining, but they immediately seated us inside even though the place was packed. Service was prompt and punctual, the food was honest and truly tasty, the starters were definitely worth trying, and the atmosphere was relaxed and peaceful. Well done, guys, keep it up!

25/12/2025: If we could give a sixth star for the service and atmosphere, we would. Massimiliano's welcome, going above and beyond to find solutions for us, even on Christmas Eve, is fabulous and warm. Thank you for these wonderful memories!

12/11/2025: "Where's the Calamari?" My friend asked me when we ordered the Calamari pasta. This is the best way I can sum up our visit to Ingrid. For €18 it was terrible value and student quality food with barely any Calamari. The waiter told us there was no menu, which I found quite strange, felt like a way to invent a price on the spot and see if people will pay it. Left with with bad vibes from this place. Should have trusted my initial instinct, don't really get the good reviews.

07/10/2025: Well...my friends reading this, my expectations were high, in the sense that when they tell you about a gourmet restaurant, you don't just expect a beautiful plating but something more. Punta Lena is a charming restaurant, nothing extraordinary, right on the sea. Perhaps the downside was that when we went for dinner, it was already dark, and we couldn't tell we were right next to the sea. In any case, the dishes were well-cooked, but like pretty much everywhere else in Stromboli. It didn't stand out compared to the rest in terms of food quality. One flaw I absolutely didn't expect was the peppered mussels, which were so salty it tasted like seawater. And we Sicilians know how to cook mussels...when we pointed this out, we were simply told: oh...strange... Anyway, my calamari was good, but it was frozen. Maybe it's because I'm used to eating fresh fish; I can tell right away. The flavor was very good, anyway. That said, I can't give more stars because, guys, it's truly impossible to mess up a Pepata... The prices are truly outrageous for the type of food.

26/09/2025: Decent dishes, very friendly waiter, nice location.

10/10/2025: We enjoyed a beautiful dinner at the Gourmet restaurant and cannot say enough good things about it! The staff was incredibly welcoming, warm, kind, and accommodating. We had the pleasure of getting to know Giuseppe and he made sure our experience was unforgettable. The flavor combinations were exceptional and unique with fantastic service and ambiance. Grazie mille!! Nina & Gianfranco

08/10/2025: A magical place with a wonderful view where you can have an exciting food and wine experience!

25/12/2025: An excellent Christmas lunch, free from the constraints of a fixed menu. It was like eating at home, with locally sourced ingredients and traditional cooking. The hostess was friendly, from the phone call to the reservation to the final bill. I highly recommend this restaurant if you want to savor local cuisine.

21/12/2025: Excellent food and a rustic atmosphere, but the service needs improvement. We went to Da Ninazzu and were very impressed with the quality of the food: the house antipasto was rich and delicious, and the pizza was also really good. The restaurant is beautiful, with a rustic atmosphere that conveys the true essence of the trattoria. On the downside, the menu is overwhelming, limited, and offers very little choice. The service was also disappointing: the waitress insisted we order the antipasto, saying that the fries were "for kids." Finally, from 10:30 PM onwards, we felt "watched" and intimidated, as if they were in a hurry to close and wanted us to leave. A shame, because the food is worth it.

24/01/2026: Authentic atmosphere, very tasty dishes and pizzas at good prices. Just what we wanted.

23/10/2025: We ate well in this little tarttoria

19/01/2026: The restaurant always lives up to expectations, the cuisine is simple, genuine and excellent, it's always a pleasure to eat here.

30/12/2025: Excellent pizza and impeccable service. The place is also very well-kept and welcoming.

17/04/2026: We had three spritzes, what did they bring us!!? Three measly little bowls, one with four chips, one with a dozen olives and the other with a handful of peanuts, total paid €8😡😡😡😡😡 I can't stand it anymore. And I'm giving it one star precisely because I can't give it less.

17/04/2026: Bad choice €8 for a spritz full of ice and 2 chips

07/04/2026: Discriminatory. We waited 30 minutes without any response or service. All the parents with children were in the bar next door. Perhaps if I had come without my son they would have served me? Since the place doesn't cater to children and the bar next door attracts them all? On the other hand, the restrooms are clean, I recommend it!

04/04/2026: A small beachfront spot just steps from the pier. Friendly service, fresh produce, and a priceless view. We'll be back.

01/08/2025: Abbiamo mangiato a pranzo in questo ristorante, su una bella terrazza con vista mare. Abbiamo mangiato pane cunzato, frittura mista, spiedini di pesce spada. Buon cibo, piatti tipici, servizio veloce e prezzi adeguati.

22/07/2025: Luftiger Terasse, Blick aufs Meer, sehr gutes Essen: Pizza blitzschnell am Tischund köstlich,,Risotto und Nudel absolut top! Hauswein kühl und leicht. Absolut empfehlenswert!

11/10/2025: Maurizio was very kind and welcoming. The caponata was the best I've tasted in the Aeolian Islands, and the stuffed squid with sauce was wonderful! Thank you.

05/10/2025: For the owner alone this restaurant is worth a visit. Such a lovely and engaging man, who spoke Italian, English and German with us. The food is delicious and though on the pricier side, portion size and quality justify it. We had the best seafood noodles here. (Sadly I only have a photo of the empty shells)
