I migliori ristoranti di cucina mediterranea in Messina

06/10/2025: Review for "Aloha Mare" – Santa Teresa di Riva Beautiful and welcoming place, with friendly, courteous, and always available staff. The raw fish dish was simply superb, as were the two first courses. Kudos to the chef: his skill in the kitchen is truly evident, especially in his respect for and appreciation of such prized fish. Truly, congratulations.

01/10/2025: I know from a trusted person that the food is very good, even the pizza. Must try. 👍

23/09/2025: Beware of the grappa rip-off! After you've ordered and received the bill, a grappa is placed in front of you. You think it's on the house, since the bill was already ordered and the grappa wasn't. When you then want to pay, you're billed for the grappa separately, and the old bill is torn up. The food was okay, but this rip-off ruined our evening.

22/09/2025: The food was good, a bit expensive tho, but what you could expect for the location. The worst part was the service, they looked at us in the wrong way since the beginning, i would give it a -3 if the app let me... The woman looks at you as if she annoyed by your presence. Wouldn't recommend it

26/09/2025: What can I say? The food is truly delicious, wonderful dishes made with high-quality, carefully selected ingredients. Luca, the owner, clearly cooks with passion and love, and it shines through in his dishes. The price is truly fair for what you get, and I definitely recommend it!

08/09/2025: Tasty and hearty specialties at a reasonable price. Welcoming atmosphere and friendly service. Highly recommended.

12/10/2025: Very friendly service! The waiters signore Sebastiano, signora Anjuna and everyone else were excellent personal. The food was delicious - nerver had such good grilled fish before. Especially the tuna steak. We loved it and will definitely come back! Thank you for this great experience!

11/10/2025: Excellent food and service, well worth the wait if they are busy!

16/09/2025: Truly incredibly delicious food. Very flavorful and exceptional. The pasta was excellent, and the panna cotta was a dream. I can definitely recommend it. The owner is very attentive and friendly.

04/09/2025: Excellent food and service I ordered Sea bass (fresh catch of the day) with baked radicchio Marinated watermelon for dessert (truly unique. Must try) Nero diavola (black devil's wine) with a delicate flavor that paired perfectly with the fish The bitter reset, a surprise worth trying. The owner was very kind and helpful.

24/09/2025: It's closed even though the hours say it's open. Please update the hours so as not to mislead people.

27/08/2025: Amazing experience! The staff went above and beyond to make us feel welcome, and the service was spot-on the whole night. The food was absolutely delicious—fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. The mussels were a 10/10, easily the best I’ve had. Can’t wait to come back!

16/07/2025: Simple but good pizza. A good place to eat as well.

14/07/2025: Made very welcome after a late arrival in Naxxos ( and the hotels restaurants were closed at 21.30hrs !! ) - excellent food throughout - great attentive and professional service - family run - definately worth a visit.

06/10/2025: We had a great outdoor spot. The food was very good and the portions were generous. Service was excellent, and we felt completely at home. A top address in Messina! You can also eat early (by Italian standards) (from 11:30 a.m.).

05/10/2025: An excellent restaurant adjacent to Messina Cathedral. Both indoor and outdoor seating are available. The restaurant is air-conditioned. Reservations are recommended, especially in the summer when the city is crowded with tourists and cruise passengers. The dishes offered (both meat and fish) are delicious. The only drawback is that the ingredients on the menu are listed exclusively in English. The prices are reasonable.

12/10/2025: The best restaurant in the area. Very tasty food (thanks Mr. Santino), very good value for money. Pleasant atmosphere, view from the terrace to Isola Bella, elegant and welcoming owners. Good luck!

10/10/2025: Great food and very reasonable prices! Would highly recommend

10/09/2025: I went to an 18th birthday party at this wonderful establishment. Excellent food, friendly staff, and a delightful atmosphere.

24/08/2025: 🏰🌿✨ “Once upon a time, there was a princess who dreamed of her eighteenth birthday… and that dream, thanks to the splendid Villa Musco Reception Hall, came true. The lawn was an enchanted carpet, the pool a mirror of stars and dancing lights; every corner shone with magic, enveloped in refinement and elegance. The soft lights, like silent fairies, caressed the greenery and the water, creating a fairytale atmosphere that captivated all guests. At the center of this scene, our princess: radiant, excited, wrapped in her sparkling dress that reflected the moon and the sky. Every smile, every glance, every moment carried with it the enchantment of a daydream. A heartfelt thank you to Villa Musco, its owner, and all the tireless and wonderful staff: together with us, you have written an unforgettable chapter, one that will remain etched in the hearts of our daughter and all of us forever. 👑🌹✨

01/05/2025: Piatti ottimi e per nulla scontati. Ad oggi l'esperienza culinaria che più mi ha soddisfatto qui a Salina. Consiglio vivamente

29/04/2025: Nous avons mangé chez Nni Lausta le lundi de Pâques et choisi le menu (45 e) : une mise en bouche déjà intéressante avec de l'espadon fumé et puis la déclinaison italienne classique : antipasti, pasta (raviolis au basilic, une tuerie), brochette de poisson, dessert. Sans entrer dans le détail : le raffinement des saveurs et des associations, toujours ancré dans la cuisine et les produits locaux font d'une visite chez Nni Lausta une expérience qu'on oublie pas et qu'on souhaite renouveler. La gentillesse de l'accueil, la qualité des attentions ne font que renforcer l'envie d'y retourner. Et pour couronner, les vins de l'azienda Caravaglio qui sont proposés à prix d'ami sont des pépites à découvrir pour tous les amateurs des vins des île siciliennes. Merci au chef, merci à Rosanna et Fabio et à leur équipe pour la cena du lundi de Pâques et pour la pranza de ce lundi 28 avril.

04/10/2025: Very quiet and beautiful - only the sea is very cold.....)

17/09/2025: Beautiful location, friendly service, fresh Sicilian food at a reasonable price. Highly recommended.

07/09/2025: Oh my, what a wonderful meal I had the pleasure of enjoying. Let's start with the friendly waiter, with his typical Sicilian appearance and physiognomy. Then I ordered 2 Norma and a pasta with tomato sauce for my two children. The photo shows the splendid and delicious Pasta alla Norma. PLENTY TO SAY THE LEAST. EXCELLENT. THEN I MOVED ON TO A BEAUTIFUL AND DELICIOUS SWORDFISH SKEWER. EXCEPTIONAL. I ALSO HAD MY CHILDREN FOOD AN EXCELLENT VEAL SKEWER. TENDER AND FLAVORFUL. 62 PIECES IN ALL, INCLUDING WATER AND COVER CHARGE. COMPLIMENTS.

07/09/2025: A true traditional Messina trattoria, serving fish dishes and stockfish specialties.

10/10/2025: Value for money, large and well-prepared dishes, good service and attention, good location.

06/10/2025: A traditional and very well-maintained restaurant. Salvatore, the boss, delighted us with his hospitality, and the staff was very helpful and cheerful. We northerners ate very well, and on our last night, in addition to zibibbo and biscotti, he also offered us Sicilian cannoli. We had a great time and hope to return soon. FABIO FROM VICENZA

29/09/2025: Unfortunately, it's not as good as the promo photos. 2 people pay 100 for 2 loungers. Service is extra.

19/09/2025: We had the perfect day at Tao beach club ! Incredible vibe! Beautiful atmosphere. The sun chairs, umbrellas , drinks and food were perfection. Everything was made with the best ingredients and presented with care. We loved having use of the tubes to go in the water. Felt like I was in an episode of White Lotus!
