I migliori ristoranti di cucina mediterranea in Messina

16/10/2025: We arrived here near to closing time but were greeted with warmth and a smile. We shared a jug of local white wine and Classic Bruschetto 👌 We also had the vegetarian macaroni dish and it was yummy.

05/10/2025: The sardine pasta was absolutely delicious.

25/10/2025: Everything is delicious and of excellent quality, but in the restaurant a star shines... the owner Ilaria is a concentration of friendliness and vitality

19/10/2025: We visited this place for the first time last night, and everything was delicious! I enjoyed excellent arancini, pitoni messinesi, and a delicious focaccia! Everything was fresh, well-cooked, and full of flavor. The staff was friendly, and the place was always clean. Highly recommended for anyone looking to eat well in Milazzo!

01/11/2025: Yesterday we had lunch at Enotria, we had the truly delicious seafood salad, two first courses with very fresh fish, two tarts, one with persimmons and almonds and one with chocolate, pears and rum, excellent! I highly recommend it.

23/10/2025: Excellent location, excellent staff, clean and well organized, decorated dishes, really attentive to everything I recommend it

06/10/2025: Gilberto's desserts are guaranteed to tempt you! The hospitality, food, and heavenly setting justify the distance from the port, which is also compensated by the 5-star shuttle service. Maria Tindara gets top marks!

28/09/2025: We just had a unique weekend! As soon as we arrived on Vulcano, we rented the legendary Mehari from Paolo and immediately headed to our peaceful oasis on Vulcano Piano! Maria Tindara is the most authentic place you can find on Vulcano! It's outside the port, true, but it's perfectly located halfway between Gelso and the port! The dinner was spectacular, an explosion of flavors! Save room for the desserts because they are incredible and definitely made with love! Gilberto was attentive to our every need, even recommending a truly unique spot with a breathtaking view of the islands and the crater rim to your left—a spot that rivals the climb up the crater the day before, and definitely less tiring! The rooms are simple and authentic, and in the evening you're only accompanied by the chirping of the cicadas! We'll always come back!

15/08/2025: The staff is friendly, the fresh pasta and tiramisu are excellent. Fresh and quality products!

07/08/2025: After two weeks in Taormina, we discovered this hidden gem on our last day and what a wonderful surprise! The warm, welcoming atmosphere created by the kind family who runs the place made us feel right at home. The food was exactly what we needed: comforting and full of flavor. The vegetable soup was absolutely delicious, the lamb cotoletta was tender and perfectly cooked, and the tagliatelle and swordfish rolls were just fantastic. On top of all that, the prices were the best we found in Taormina — great quality without the tourist mark-up. I only wish we had found this place sooner! Highly recommended.

16/11/2025: Delicious food and great service. This quaint restaurant with terrace overlooking Taormina’s public gardens and located off the beaten track and away from the tourist traps. Highly recommend it to anyone who is not looking for the usual dishes found in most the restaurants. Well presented and fresh local food. 10 out of 10. Well done!

03/11/2025: A delicious dinner. Eva was such a gracious host and server, and each dish was prepared with affection and care — the octopus was perfectly cooked and I delighted in my spaghetti with gamberi. Thank you and your colleagues for the incredible hospitality and kindness!

18/10/2025: Wonderful food on a wonderful terrace

27/09/2025: Good experience, nice atmosphere, and very friendly staff. The food is authentic and simple. Not particularly elaborate. Overall, the review is positive.

03/11/2025: After driving from far, it was closed even though it appeared as open. Far fron everything. They do not upfate their info, do not trust their info on Google Maps and check before going there. It’s far from everything

03/11/2025: Had a wonderful meal. At first, you might wonder where you’ve ended up… in the dark, the street looks a bit shady. But make the effort to look past that! The owner is extremely friendly. Together with his wife, he serves fantastic and authentic Sicilian food for a very reasonable price. At the end of the evening, the owner will gladly show you the well and the entrance to the cave located in his garden. All in all, well worth the visit!

21/10/2025: We had lunch at this Osteria on a Sunday in October. It's a secluded and welcoming place, the staff are polite and professional, and the food is very good. We ordered a fish parmigiana, which was good but a bit bland. We followed it with a baked grouper with citrus fruits and spinach, which was very good. It's a shame the spinach wasn't enough, and they didn't provide us with the weight of the grouper, which, given that it was fresh and weighed, should have been provided. The only downside is the excessively high bill: €90 per kilo for the fish and €20 for a glass of wine seems excessive to me.

20/10/2025: The service was genuine and warm, and they weren’t pushy to upsell. I appreciated their clear explanation of the catch of the day, including the offer to have the fish prepared in two ways: Sicilian capers and sultana stew, and homemade breadcrumbs. The fish was fresh and perfectly cooked. Kudos to the service team and chef!

24/11/2025: The food was bland and underseasoned. The shrimp were flavorless, tasting like they'd just been pulled from the sea. The grilled vegetables were cold. A glass of wine cost 8 euros. The tuna was good. The live music certainly adds to the atmosphere, but it's not enough considering the high prices.

11/11/2025: I'd describe the food as quite good. Unfortunately, prices throughout the city are higher than the food is worth. A typical dinner for three costs 73 euros.

21/10/2025: Very good quality, lots of locals. Large restaurant.

12/10/2025: An evening to be repeated. Excellent in every way.

05/11/2025: It was very delicious and the service was pretty kind. My friends and I enjoyed the food and also the fresh bread!

05/11/2025: The best pasta in my life! And what a view! 🤩

06/11/2025: Dinner for two, even though it was a bit chilly in November, was lovely in the internal garden under the trees. Everyone was friendly, and the Sicilian cuisine was excellent.

06/11/2025: Absolutely amazing place, everything from the atmosphere to service was anything but perfect! We had such a great dinner! Menu is great as it offers a variety from seafood to pizza. Very very cosy place, I would come back here every time I’m in Taormina.

11/11/2025: Delicious pizza! If you're visiting Malfa, you absolutely have to go here. I especially recommend the pizzas on the specials menu if you can't decide among the others. Fresh ingredients and lots of local variations. And definitely order dessert! It's absolutely worth it. Open on weekends outside of peak season.

31/10/2025: Delicious pizza, knowledgeable and courteous staff, reasonable price, I highly recommend it

22/10/2025: Very professional staff, charming location, and outstanding quality food. In a word: Highly recommended.

19/10/2025: ❤️❤️❤️ The best in Giardini Naxos. Cca 15y we eat here always ❤️❤️❤️
