I migliori ristoranti di cucina mediterranea in Messina

20/01/2026: I had dinner with friends. The food was good and the welcome was warm. It's a shame that those paying cash have to specifically ask for the tax discount.

16/01/2026: I've been coming here for years. And each time, I've never chosen from the menu. Trust them completely. Open the door, take a seat, and put away your napkin. Ask and you shall receive. Excellent service, pleasant atmosphere, food beyond expectations. Probably one of the best restaurants in eastern Sicily.

08/01/2026: Open on New Year's Eve, also served after midnight

09/12/2025: Once we arrived, we were greeted with smiles and a warm welcome that, despite the winter, cheered us up. Matching the warm welcome and cheerfulness of the staff, the meticulously prepared dishes arrived, perfectly cooked and flavorful, far beyond the norm, all topped off by a staff that was more than present, helpful, and above all, friendly. Highly recommended; the chef's skill at grilling is indescribable.

28/11/2025: Beautiful setting and super romantic. Food was delicious and staff were lovely. Portions are small so marked down for that in terms of value for money. Marked down on service as was charged an additional €30 for a bottle of wine we did not order. Did not notice until we got back to the hotel as we were in a rush to pay because it started to rain and we were outside! With that being said I would go again, without the kids and make sure I check the bill properly next time! The outdoor terrace is truly stunning.

23/10/2025: This restaurant may as well be one of the best places I’ve ever had dinner. We found it online and decided to check it out spontaneously, and just wow. The garden is beautiful, with several citrus trees. Super romantic atmosphere. All the staff has specific roles, so the sommelier only does take wine orders, the waitresses only bring food and take away empty plates or refill empty glasses and there are separate people for taking food orders or bringing out the bill. Although it might feel a bit slow (reading some of the other comments), there definitely is a system in place that works well. And then the food… eating a variety of vegetarian food has been difficult in Sicily. Not at this restaurant; they have an amazing selection of high quality vegetarian food. Probably the best vegetarian food we’ve ever had. We started with a delicious burrata and tomatoes, then lemon linguini, fried artichoke and shared two desserts. We did not have any wine, just two bottles of water and I was surprised with how low the bill was for the amazing quality of food. Feels like dining in a Michelin setting, but for a super reasonable price. Thank you to the staff for this amazing experience!

29/09/2025: On the roadside, a stone's throw from the beach, lunch with a sea view, quality typical Italian dishes, pleasant service, I recommend

28/09/2025: Nice charcuterie board and amazing pizza. The staff was friendly and the location was nice and with a warm atmosphere. Not very expensive, about 67€ for the charcuterie board, two pizza, half a litre of white wine, one limoncelo spritz and we brought a few pieces of pizza that we couldn't finish. Highly recommend.

06/10/2025: Great restaurant with lovely food, the house starter was very filling and almost enough for a whole meal. Meat lovers will enjoy themselves here, well prepared and plenty of choice. Large portions, reasonably priced with high quality compared to larger cities.

30/11/2025: It's been a few years, but I still remember it being a beautiful location and that the calzone was excellent. I hope to come back again soon!

10/11/2025: We had a delicious pizza for lunch on the beach! With a bottle of wine. Everything they give you on the beach is plastic. The restaurant has a wider menu and better service. But I still recommend it. The guys are amazing! They never stop, serving everyone with the best attitude. We had a wonderful time!

16/11/2025: The food was good, not great. Considering quality, the prices were high. BUT, let me tell you about the music. It was BAD! Some AI generated songs from a music service called StoryBeats. Awful! The kind of generic soft pop that I'm sure will play in hell. But the nature of the music wasn't the worst part. There were four songs that played in a non-stop loop! I heard Echoes in the Fireplace and When Spring Remembers You three times each! If you have any musical taste at all, and value your sanity, avoid la Risacca.

31/10/2025: Very kind and polite staff, delicious food, beautiful location. Recommended.

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.

30/08/2025: A special thanks to the staff. Their friendliness and professionalism are impeccable.

30/08/2025: We stayed at this property for 2 days. A charming place, just a few kilometers from the lively tide. It's the perfect base for reaching the beautiful coasts and neighboring towns. The room was quiet and clean; we slept wonderfully. The breakfast was good, with some local products. The pool was adequate and surrounded by greenery. Highly recommended.

23/11/2025: the waiting time for the food was quite long, the food was good but not typical and artisanal

05/11/2025: Always delicious pizza, fair prices, and friendly staff. A trusted source for those who love good pizza at a good price for years. Highly recommended! 🍕

09/11/2025: I ordered Involtini Pesce Spada Fresco Grigliati alla Siciliana. The rolls were very small, Spada is very thin, ingredients not tasty, the fried batter outside is badly burnt. Why is this dish cost 32euros? The waiter was kind but the stern faced lady who seems to me the shopkeeper was rather curt and blunt, store-oriented style, reluctant to welcome a customer from the far east small island.

29/10/2025: The views, food and service were perfect!

05/11/2025: We had a wonderful meal at La Zagara. The food was fresh and full of flavor, especially the pasta and seafood, very sicilian experience. The staff were friendly and made us feel really welcome. The place has a nice, relaxed vibes, and very close to the center. I’d definitely come back and recommend it to anyone visiting Taormina!

30/10/2025: Excellent service, very welcoming and friendly staff, fresh, high-quality food! I was satisfied and will definitely be back!!

23/11/2025: Simple but good pizza. A good place to eat as well.

15/11/2025: The atmosphere is a bit dated overall, we ate two good pizzas 🍕😋 friendly staff, the after dinner is enlivened with music

28/12/2025: Top food, top location. Eating by the sea is priceless.

20/10/2025: Super tasty pizza 🍕 I love the tomate sauce and the "pâte"

22/09/2025: The food was delicious, the staff was very friendly, and the place was family-friendly. The views were beautiful.

20/09/2025: Beautiful beach, excellently managed, friendly and helpful. The restaurant is also good.
