I migliori ristoranti di cucina mediterranea in Messina

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

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!"

05/08/2025: We arrived late in the evening without a reservation and asked if it was still possible to have dinner. They said yes, but unfortunately, the experience didn't live up to our expectations. We ordered some first courses, but they were served raw. After pointing this out, the dish was returned, but instead of being removed from the bill, it was simply discounted. When paying, we noticed that some prices were different (higher) than those listed on the menu. Overall, the bill was too expensive for the quality of the food and service we received. We won't be returning.

29/07/2025: 1 star only for the enchanting scenery. 1 star because I want to give this place another chance, but the experience was TERRIBLE. I WASTED MY MONEY. No menu at the table, otherwise I would never have ordered the fried food. I discovered after asking for the menu (which is a laminated sheet) that it costs 14 euros per portion and is frozen. The spaghetti with clams arrived, and I had them taken back immediately because they were so undercooked they barely bend with a fork and tasted like nothing. After discussing it with the waiter, I guess they hadn't stirred them in the pan with the clams, so they remained raw AND DID NOT TAKE ON THE FLAVOR OF THE CLAMS... in short, they were taken out of the water RAW and placed on the plate. No complaints about the risotto as a replacement, because they made it on the spot given the time I waited. I certainly didn't appreciate the fact that a waitress who hadn't seen the dish later tried to defend the chef, but was fortunately stopped by the waitress who had tasted the dish. What was the point of bringing up a problem that's already been resolved? So you try to tell the customer he's an idiot when it's clear there was a mistake in the kitchen. We ask for ice cream and there's none. Conclusions. A seaside place with restaurant prices, but the food is frozen, and if you don't ask for a menu, you won't notice. Do you really want to eat fried calamari or something else and pay 14 euros a plate?

05/07/2025: Good food. More than fair prices.

23/06/2025: Terrible experience: DO NOT go if you have a dog! Despite the modest setting with village festival-style furnishings, the father or father-in-law (I didn't quite understand) of the lady who seated us railed against us, yelling at her to throw us out. He then accompanied with curses the exit of another couple who had a dog with them. I specify that both ours and the other were small and extremely well-behaved. We took a pizza, honestly of decent quality, only out of respect for the aforementioned lady. I specify that at the entrance there is a sign indicating the prohibition of smoking, but no prohibition of access to dogs

15/09/2025: We stumbled upon this lovely place in a side alley off of the main drag in Taormina. The food was amazing. The braised beef melted in your mouth. A hidden gem!

02/09/2025: Located away from the crowd we though we found the perfect place for dinner. Little did we (me, my wife and daughters) know that we weren't welcome. With several tables outside free we asked the waiter for one. That's when the "big" guy told the waiter, in Italian, that "they(!) can only get a table inside". So all of a sudden all tables outside was reserved. What he didn't know was my wife speaks Italian, so she heard it all. Discrimination is ugly. Stay away from this place, at least if you planned to bring your kids.

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 😜

22/08/2025: In an enchanting setting, a place I have known for over 30 years, today I find it under new management, in all honesty, a relaxing evening, with friendly and discreet service, always with a smile and full availability, the owners very kind as all the staff, the food ... We ordered both fish and pizza from the restaurant, all of excellent quality, and exceptional taste, wonderful the Jack Daniel's Apple pizza, a balance of flavors and taste, the flower beds are a beautiful private entrance for couples but also for groups of four, I highly recommend it and with satisfaction.

08/05/2025: A good place to eat fish is essential, they cook quite well, an excellent slice of pauro, a good fried fish with different types of fish, perhaps the prawns and squid were missing, but they were excellently compensated by cuttlefish, perhaps the fish starter should be revisited, lacking, all in all a place worth trying, lastly, what is quite important, impeccable and fast service. The only flaw is the location, from the eighties, but the quality of the food is Compensa. It has now closed permanently for several months.

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

27/08/2025: This beachfront restaurant on the Giardini Naxos promenade is a three-person affair. Three of us opted for pizza, and unfortunately, we weren't entirely satisfied: the ingredients were subpar, and the pizza was dry and almost crunchy (oh, olive oil, that unknown ingredient), not even a hint of oregano or other seasoning. The staff was friendly but very, very inattentive, only the head waiter (the lady who takes orders) was attentive, and even she realized that they weren't having a great time that evening. A waiter was forced to pour water into glasses, knocking one onto the floor, and after picking it up, he disappeared without bringing a new glass or wiping the water-soaked table. Another waiter brought bread, breadsticks, and small plates, but they got the wrong table. Another waitress couldn't wait to clear away the plates and glasses without asking (the place was already half full). Overall, a negative experience, except for the location, which turned out to be beautiful.

27/08/2025: Ideal place with a sea view, the food is very tasty, the service is very good, I advise everyone to go to this restaurant!

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 !

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.

15/07/2025: Good pizza place. The other food is less than regular, very little amount of food, and expensive.

14/07/2025: Tourist restaurant. Small portions at prices you wouldn't even see in Piazza Duomo. The dishes, in my opinion, aren't typical of a trattoria. I definitely don't recommend them.

20/07/2025: Food was disqusting.Sea food rizzoto with sot taste and sea food,small portion.Service not Bad.All together,humalitiating!

10/07/2025: Ristorante suggestivo vista mare dove e' possibile gustare del pesce fresco e dei piatti semplici na curati in ogni dettaglio... il panorama e' mozzafiato... si può trascorrere una serata davvero rilassante!

07/08/2025: I stopped by the Plaza bar by chance for pizza, and to my surprise, it was excellent, not burnt, and had a great flavor. I was truly satisfied, and I'll be back with my wife.

09/07/2025: Questionable from a culinary perspective. Pasta was out of stock, some pizzas were unavailable. The pizzas served looked like frozen goods – no one ate more than half. Mozzarella salad came with jelly. No comment. Okay for ice cream and a drink. Better to go somewhere else for food.

31/08/2025: Terrible and expensive. I went alone around 1:30 PM and they charged me for two loungers for the whole day, telling me that it made no difference whether I was alone or half a day. €20 for half a day, and I even got the last row. I was hoping to at least relax, but nothing. The distance between loungers was almost nonexistent. No privacy; you could hear everyone else's conversations as if you were part of the same group. To get to the beach, you had to walk right past everyone. To top it all off, my umbrella had no place to put my phone. €20 for a few hours...stolen.

26/08/2025: My family and I had a great time, we enjoyed the good food, excellent hospitality and organization, and above all, a wonderful sea. Rating 8

23/07/2025: Il Ristorante Sire 🍽, in zona Recanati si affaccia sulla strada e attira subito l'attenzione. Siamo tornati due volte, a pranzo abbiamo gustato degli ottimi caserecci al pistacchio 🍝 (con pasta fresca, pancetta, cipolla, panna e parmigiano): davvero saporiti e ben bilanciati nei sapori! Molto buone anche le insalatone, fresche, ricche e ben composte. A cena abbiamo optato per la pizza 🍕, per la verità deludente: impasto poco digeribile, difficile da tagliare e che, raffreddandosi, diventa stopposo. Per ora, promosso il ristorante ✅️, bocciata la pizzeria ❌️. P.S. A Giardini Naxos, trovare una pizza veramente buona si sta rivelando una vera sfida! 😅

03/05/2025: Friendly staff, nice food and location better than expected, it’s right by the road junction but it means you kind of see the world going past
