I migliori ristoranti di cucina mediterranea in Messina

02/10/2025: A restaurant worth a detour. Run for 21 years by the couple Manuel, in the kitchen, and Eliana, the hostess. The digital menu showcases beautiful dishes, including antipasti, pronk, and secondi. The dolce are also highly recommended. We started with ravioli filled with fish, presented in a lovely fish sauce. We also had linguine with pink prawns. It came with a superb sauce and beautifully balanced in flavor. We continued with the crispy fresh fish of the day. Perfectly cooked! The same was true for the Scottish steak tagliata. It came with a green salad with some Parmesan and oil. Delicious! We finished with a cannelono filled with ricotta and a warm flan with a liquid pistachio filling. A delicious bottle of Grillo accompanied it, a beautiful white with character. Everything was served with humor and expert advice. A truly memorable place.

30/09/2025: A pleasant surprise. Excellent food, from preparation to presentation. Welcoming atmosphere and a kind hostess.

07/01/2026: The Sicilian pizza was delicious. The anchovies cut through the richness of the pizza, and the seafood risotto had just the right amount of rice and large oysters. The owner was friendly, and the restaurant was comfortable. I would definitely return.

22/12/2025: The atmosphere and welcome are nice. The prices are average, the food is good.

02/11/2025: Ristorante Le Orologio is an absolute gem! The food was exceptional, every dish was fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. The restaurant’s design is elegant yet cozy, blending modern style with classic Sicilian charm. The patio offers a truly unique panoramic view of the town and the sea, especially stunning at sunset. Dining here feels like an experience rather than just a meal, excellent service, relaxing atmosphere, and unforgettable scenery. Whether you’re visiting for a romantic dinner or a casual lunch, Le Orologio delivers perfection in taste, ambiance, and view. Definitely one of the must-visit spots in the area!

14/10/2025: My mother and I arrived here. We had planned to eat, but we decided to have a glass of wine. So we asked for the menu and ended up giving it back because we only wanted a glass of wine. A grumpy face immediately appeared. Well, we just accepted that until the bill finally arrived. €20 for two glasses of house wine. How badly can you get ripped off? I'd say if you only want a drink, go somewhere else quickly, because they'll rip you off right here.

04/12/2025: We're so happy to have chosen Dejavu as the venue for our wedding on June 15, 2025. Luisa and her staff were available, professional, and attentive from the very first meeting. We decided to celebrate the civil ceremony on the beach, and I have nothing else to add other than that it was magnificent. The venue speaks for itself, as does the attention to detail. Exchanging vows at sunset was ethereal. The aperitif by the sea was exceptional, and we received compliments from all our guests, especially for the oyster corner: we were told they were the best oysters we've ever eaten, and to be honest, we can only confirm that! Regarding the wedding dinner in the garden, the setting with the starry sky was magical, and the food was excellent. We started planning the wedding two years in advance, and the menu tasting took place just as long ago, so we couldn't wait to enjoy our chosen menu, which absolutely lived up to expectations. The food was plentiful, high-quality, and delicious! Also not to be overlooked was the seamless organization from start to finish, which is essential for a successful wedding. We received compliments from everyone not only on the food but also on the location, which was extremely beautiful and elegant. As for us: it was the best day of our lives. Everything was wonderful; we wouldn't change a thing because it was perfect just the way it was. We wholeheartedly recommend Dejavu to anyone looking for an enchanting location, serious, competent professionals who are passionate about their craft. Thanks to Luisa and her staff for making our day even more beautiful! ♥️

17/10/2025: From the first meeting to the wedding day, everything was taken care of down to the smallest detail; we didn't have to worry about a thing. The staff was available, attentive, and always smiling, ready to satisfy every request, both ours and our guests'. The service was impeccable, the cuisine exceptional, and the location dreamy—everything contributed to making the day truly unforgettable. Even the vendors Luisa recommended, from the pastry shop to the wedding planner to the children's entertainer, were professional, helpful, and offered excellent value for money, fulfilling our every wish. All our guests complimented us, and we can only extend our heartfelt thanks to the entire staff for the professionalism and passion with which they made our wedding special. If you dream of a fairytale day, it can come true with deja vu.

26/11/2025: Excellent restaurant, excellent seafood, and very friendly staff. My wife and I arrived without a reservation, but luckily there was room. We ate deliciously overlooking the harbor. Recommended.

09/10/2025: Review: Ristorante Panzakina Our group of five enjoyed a fabulous lunch at Ristorante Panzakina. The spaghetti cacio e pepe was perfectly balanced — creamy, peppery, and full of flavour — while the l’insalata di mare was fresh, vibrant, and beautifully seasoned. The rosato was sublime, pairing effortlessly with both dishes. Service was polished yet relaxed, with staff attentive without being intrusive. The atmosphere captured effortless coastal charm, enhanced by lovely views over the boat harbour. It’s the kind of place where great food, wine, and scenery come together in perfect harmony — a true highlight of seaside dining in Sicily.

02/01/2026: This was our first time in Messina, we wanted to celebrate my birthday. We were walking down the streets when we found this place. Food is mostly sea food. We ordered starter (Shrimps)+ main course (ravioli filled with spinach and cheese, prawns) +grilled Prawns+Rissoto with mussel and dessert (pineapple slices fresh). We also ordered local wine and 1 cola. Our bill was EUR 110 which I thought was bit high compare to the place and location. The food was nice and cozy. Good for family visit.

27/12/2025: Pleasant surprise, historic place with excellent and generous dishes

08/11/2025: Welcoming place, good food, excellent service, recommended.

24/10/2025: All in all great food, excellent owner/staff and lovely little courtyard. Food was fresh and not rushed. We ordered a mix of seafood, meat and parmigano melanzane all went down a treat.

02/01/2026: My experience was decidedly positive. A la carte New Year's Eve dinner. Unfortunately, it was a rainy evening, which prevented us from enjoying what we had planned. They were helpful and friendly, allowing us to toast the New Year with our own bottles! And not only that... they served lentils and cotechino without asking. A suggestion for all restaurants open on New Year's Eve with an à la carte menu: charge a €20 cover charge per person rather than rightfully inflating the menu. When you add value to good food and customer service, you make a difference. Thank you for everything.

01/01/2026: A very nice, family-run restaurant. The host took great care of us. The food was very good and the desserts delicious.

15/10/2025: The food was mixed: the stuffed calamari was dry and tasteless, the pasta was good

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

08/01/2026: Not a positive experience, on the contrary!!! Very expensive. That day there was a fixed menu for €45 per person, which we didn't choose because it was too much for us. We only chose two courses from the menu, and were told that if we had chosen the courses separately the prices would have been different, but they hadn't imagined this. We had a lentil mousse and a main course: 1 shrimp with 1 artichoke and shaved parmesan. 1/4 bottle of house wine and a chocolate heart for dessert. €97 Luckily we got the 7-euro discount! Had we known, we would have ordered the full menu and spent even less, paradoxically. The dishes were a bit sparse. The receipt was unclear, very unclear, which confirms what was said. We don't recommend it.

17/10/2025: Super delicious food, simple but well-prepared, sweet service

30/11/2025: A delightful, super welcoming, and very elegant place. The extremely kind owner explains the ingredients of each dish after each course. For those who want to try deliciously flavorful dishes, this is the place to be! I was blown away by the perfection of the dishes and the kindness of the chef, incredible!

15/10/2025: Good food, good wine, a warm welcome, and Chef Agliolo's superb technical expertise are just a small part of what you'll find at this magnificent restaurant! A magical place where you can be pampered by a true professional who puts his heart and soul into what he does. Thanks again

04/11/2025: Very good food, friendly service, family atmosphere.

01/11/2025: I had a great pizza 🍕, the best I've had there. Friendly staff, Excellent value for money.

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.

12/10/2025: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Tao Beach Club – Excellent Experience! Tao Beach Club is an excellent option for a relaxing day at the beach. The service is outstanding, and the restaurant is truly top-notch. A special thank you to Natalia, who is exceptionally customer-focused — even though the club was fully booked, she called me back as soon as a cabana became available and reserved it for us. It happened to be the last day of the season, and my wife and I couldn’t have asked for a better way to spend it. The atmosphere, service, and attention to detail made it a perfect ending to our trip. Highly recommended!

06/10/2025: To expensive for the service, not worth it

28/12/2025: Where can I start... FOOD? Everything is extraordinary, but if you want to have a mystical experience, order the seafood risotto and cod alla Luciana for the main course. A MASTERPIECE. ATMOSPHERE: You feel at home, familiar, very clean, tidy, and finally, the SERVICE: well, everyone is friendly and super helpful, but then there's Luigi, who is incredible. In short, if you're coming to Naples and therefore have to pass through one of its most beautiful neighborhoods, Santa Lucia, Marino is a must-stop to enjoy the extraordinary Neapolitan cuisine. And I forgot, the pizza is a masterpiece!

22/12/2025: Exceptional, the best in Naples. Dinner for 3. Mussel spaghetti. I've never tasted so good. Spaghetti with clams and octopus spaghetti "alla Luciana" had an indescribable flavor. Main courses were equally good. The owner and waiters were extremely kind, and the price was super fair. We were truly delighted and more than satisfied. Congratulations, we'll definitely be back!
