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

09/10/2025: Delicious pasta dishes. Very good house wine & good value for money.

14/09/2025: I'm giving it 4 stars for service only because of the long wait. But the food is delicious, the portions are large, and the service is very friendly. We'll definitely be back.

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!

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.

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.

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!

06/10/2025: Very friendly service. Excellent coffee! Cannoli and brioche too. A good place to start your exploration of Taormina.

04/10/2025: Bought a water from inside, my friend went to the toilet , and I was not allowed to sit at a table to wait for my friend as I quote “the water is to take it away” . Not ok for a terrace which is not fully occupied, as you can see, you need better customer service.

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

31/08/2025: 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

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.

30/09/2025: I don't want to just leave a review, but a huge compliment. I spent three nights in a row at this wonderful place, where not only the atmosphere enchants you. The food is divine, and the live music makes dining here a unique and fantastic experience. Above all, I'd like to leave a huge compliment for the service: I traveled alone, but thanks to the guys at La Scala, I had evenings filled with laughter and good humor. For those who stop by, try the seafood linguine and enjoy a lovely cocktail, made with love—it really shows. If I ever return to Taormina, I already know I'll be back at La Scala Restaurant. Thank you so much and best regards! 👋🏼
