I migliori ristoranti di cucina mediterranea in Messina

19/08/2025: We ordered a takeout pizza to eat on the boat. After a while, we approached the counter to politely ask if it was ready, and the pizza chef, instead of responding normally, ordered us to leave in a threatening and rude tone. This was truly inappropriate behavior: we certainly don't expect a red carpet, but at least a modicum of politeness. An unpleasant experience that ruined the excitement of the moment.

18/08/2025: Arancina Ragu for 3,5€ but they taste terrible. Expensive and definitely not worse the price. Not classic sicilian food!

07/08/2025: Excellent pizzeria restaurant, high quality and simplicity.

04/08/2025: Good pizza, big choice, we were satisfied. Locals go here. It's budget-friendly enough and delicious. Our recommendations.

22/04/2025: Excellent food Many appetizers in very small portions The pasta is good And the second too wine already leaving for vinegar No menu on the internet, read the price 30/40 per person At the time of the bill we paid 50 euros per person and without a receipt Honestly too expensive

06/04/2025: Very nice culinary experience. Nothing less than excellent

27/04/2025: I saw one of Messina's historic restaurants as a child and several years have passed, the food is quite good, yesterday I tasted the pasta with swordfish bottarga which was good, the other dishes were also satisfactory, prices were normal for ganzirri and unlike other places the kitchen was still open even though it was almost midnight. It has closed permanently, update yourself

24/04/2025: The place appears to be permanently closed. The telephone number is deactivated.

12/08/2025: The prices are out of this world, I'm sorry, the place is beautiful, the sea is beautiful but next time I'll go eat somewhere else 😡

04/08/2025: Rude staff. After we'd eaten, we asked to use the restroom. We were allowed to, but they began knocking insistently and forcefully, then accused us of being rude and told us we shouldn't have used the restroom.

19/08/2025: Beautiful location by the sea, good food but the cleanliness of the toilets could be improved as they are clogged and lack paper... practically unusable.

18/08/2025: Excellent location, quick service, excellent food

24/06/2025: La mia esperienza in questo ristorante è stata decisamente negativa. Il pesce crudo, che avrebbe dovuto essere il punto di forza del menù, era chiaramente al limite di freschezza, se non passato. Il rapporto qualità-prezzo è inaccettabile: prezzi alti per piatti privi di gusto, mal bilanciati e dall’aspetto trascurato. L’estetica è trascurata, con accostamenti discutibili e una cura inesistente per i dettagli. Inaccettabile poi trovare nel piatto il carapace del granchio lasciato lì senza alcun criterio: una scelta di pessimo gusto, che compromette sia la fruibilità del piatto che l’esperienza complessiva. Unica nota positiva, la possibilità di cenare all’esterno con vista sulla piazza. Peccato che anche questa venga rovinata da una postazione scomodissima, con tavoli così stretti da rendere difficile l'accesso

22/06/2025: Molto deludente. I balconcini panoramici sulla piazza, sono piccolissimi e scomodi. I decantati piatti di pesce senza carattere, sapori slegati e, per questo, ingiustificatamente costosissimi . Spaghetti all'astice meno che mediocri, della pasta tipo gnocchetti con broccoli e gamberi rossi di Mazara, con gamberi senza sapore assolutamente non freschi ed affogati in un incomprensibile sugo con broccoli che induce seri interrogativi sul percorso formativo dello chef. Insipidi e malamente riscaldati gli antipasti. Dulcis in fundo, cannoli siciliani insignificanti ripieni solo ai lati, con cannolo praticamente per lo più vuoto. Il conto è stato il colpo di grazia 241 euro in due. Questo ristorante è un enorme bluff.

05/07/2025: La pizzeria del Siciliano a Montalbano Elicona,ci ha riservato una piacevolissima sorpresa. Da tempo si racconta della presenza sul territorio di una prelibatezza gastronomica eccezionale: il tartufo nero. Personalmente so per certo che sul finire degli anni settanta venne condotto un esperimento di impianto di tartufo in diversi appezzamenti di noccioleto, dopodiché il silenzio per quasi cinquanta anni. Ed ecco la sorpresa La pizza alla montalbanese, con provola, funghi porcini e...il tartufo nero di montalbano. Bravissimo il pizzaiolo e bravo Vincenzo... Ad maiora.

14/05/2025: Personnel hyper gentil. Nourriture exquise, locale et d'excellent rapport qualité prix . Les champignons, les ravioli et les desserts à la pistache. Miam miam

03/06/2025: I recently went to this Italian restaurant and, although the environment was clean, unfortunately my overall experience was disappointing, especially regarding the service. The dining room staff, made up of foreign waiters, showed evident difficulties in understanding the Italian language, making even simple communication difficult. This aspect is particularly worrying when it comes to fundamental information such as allergens or food intolerances: when I asked for clarification, no one seemed to be informed or prepared on the subject. In an era in which food safety should be a priority, I consider this a very critical point. The staff was also very rude. The cuisine overall was decent, in line with the expectations of an Italian restaurant, but not enough to compensate for such a poor service. I hope that the management invests in staff training and communication, especially to ensure a safe and pleasant experience for all customers.

24/04/2025: Very unfriendly staff, expensive and coffee was the worse we ever had in sicily! To top it off, when we asked the lady at the bar for the menu she felt uncomfortable and we noticed that she removed the drinks paper from the plastic folder so we won't see the actual prices because she definitely charged us extra because we are turists

11/08/2025: My wife and I went here to meet a family member immediately following our wedding in the gardens, and the food was exceptional. We shared a few dishes, including octopus, which turned out to be amazing.

11/08/2025: This restaurant has a great location, just across from the square, but the staff's attitude was surprising. They impatiently asked if we wanted to eat or just have drinks. When we said we wanted drinks, they casually pointed to the outermost seats. Because it was hot and someone was smoking next to us, we wanted to sit further inside. The staff was very impatient and told us those seats were only for diners. Given their focus on turnover and complete disregard for customers, we ultimately didn't eat at this restaurant. Not recommended!
