I migliori ristoranti di cucina mediterranea in Messina

21/12/2025: Eating is one of life's pleasures, and at L'Anfora it was all a pleasure. The flavors of the island, the passion of the chef, from the appetizer to the dessert, I treated myself, and so did my father, who is also a chef. An experience I recommend to everyone. The service and the cuisine were all good. Thank you for this moment.

27/10/2025: I spent a lovely evening with friends at this restaurant, located in the center of Lipari, in a charming little alley. The service was impeccable, and I felt pampered and assisted by the staff, who were always available to help with any wine recommendations or other requests. Not to mention the delicious food, made with excellent ingredients (rare to find) and prepared with love and passion, without being overpriced. The food and drinks were reasonably priced. I recommend it to everyone, and I'll definitely be back.

31/10/2025: Very kind and helpful with the service, the outdoor area is sheltered and very large and beautiful.

27/09/2025: A small restaurant serving exclusively seafood (the owner lets you know as soon as you book). The menu is small but based on the freshest ingredients available. Highly recommended. Prices are average for the area.

27/09/2025: We had a wonderful meal at this family-run restaurant. It's a bit outside of Milazzo's city center, so it's best to drive (there's plenty of parking). Prices are average, but the quality is superior to many other restaurants we've tried in the city center. Friendly service.

21/10/2025: Inedible dinner, stale bread and breadsticks

21/10/2025: Tiramisu to literally die for. 10/10

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

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.

22/03/2026: Excellent place... the dishes are each better than the last, beautifully presented, and made with top-quality ingredients. The atmosphere is truly intimate and beautiful, and the owners are kind, attentive, and helpful. We'll definitely be back!

21/03/2026: A noble example of culinary excellence! We chose this restaurant for an important family event, especially considering its central location (practically next to the Duomo). The restaurant, with its ancient stone and terracotta walls, has been beautifully renovated and offers a welcoming, spacious, and clean atmosphere. The highlight is the open kitchen. The service is excellent, and the staff is wonderful: kind, courteous, and helpful. Each dish is described with suggestions for its consumption. Let's move on to the dishes: gourmet excellence, no matter how many ingredients there are, each one is an explosion of flavor, like a painting where every brushstroke of color explodes in a harmony of colors and flavors. Unique dishes, different from week to week, made with fresh, authentic ingredients. This restaurant doesn't need stars; it's a star by birth! A huge thank you to the owner, a truly exquisite person, for his hospitality and the excellent experience! Highly recommended.

11/11/2025: Professional waiters serving authentic Sicilian cuisine

11/11/2025: A really good tasty pizza! The dough was fab and baked to perfection, grazie!

07/12/2025: We love coming to Sikelia every year when we're in Giardini Naxos. The food is delicious, the atmosphere is very welcoming, and the service is excellent. Thank you so much!

02/11/2025: The dish was delicious. Very good prices compared to the restaurant next door. The waiter was very friendly.

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.

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.

12/03/2026: We had a pleasant and peaceful stay, just as we'd hoped. The interior design was modern, and the room was clean with its own terrace, although admittedly not well-maintained, even considering it was winter. We appreciated the kindness of the bar/breakfast staff and the great affability and professionalism of the receptionist Giuseppe, whom we thank again warmly. The only negative aspect of our experience here was the spa staff: even though we had booked, there was no one at the desk, and we were confused about what to do for a quarter of an hour. Then a brunette girl showed up, didn't return my greeting, and immediately dismissed me, saying she was busy. When we finally entered, another girl explained the spa so quickly and in such an annoyed manner that none of the couples there understood anything. In short, I would return to the hotel, but the spa service was honestly a no-no.

21/02/2026: The dinner and the dining room staff were excellent, but it's a shame about the telephone mix-ups and the inability to resolve the situation.

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! 🍕

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"

08/03/2026: Nice place, but the quality/price ratio was absolutely absurd for what we ate. The €3 cover charge and €3 per bottle of purified tap water were already a bit of a turnoff, but it's okay. The prices are clearly written on the menu, and as soon as we saw them, we wondered for a moment whether we were in Milazzo, in front of the ferry docks, or in Portofino. Prices were definitely above average. But that's okay, if the product, quality, and quantity are satisfactory, no problem; we decided to give it a try. We ordered four calamaratas (€22 per dish), a spaghetti dish with clams (€25), and a pasta dish with tomato sauce and burrata (€18), two bottles of water (€6), a bottle of wine (€25), a cover charge of €3 per person, and we had to ask for the bread ourselves. Calamarata: a giant dish, but only 80 grams of pasta inside. Each dish literally had 3-4 shelled mussels, 3-4 shelled clams, and 2 pieces of squid. Furthermore, the mussels and clams were definitely not freshly cooked because they had the consistency of pre-cooked food. Taste? Absolutely average. 22 euros for a dish like that is absolutely outrageous, really! 10-15 euros is more than fair for the quality and quantity. Spaghetti with clams: arrived later than the other dishes. And if you want to position yourself in a high price range, you can't make an 8-year-old wait while watching others eat. But that's okay, that's not the problem; they apologized, and that happens. The dish: for the first time in my life, I saw spaghetti with clams without shells, but only with shelled clams. So the question is: were they fresh and did the chef bother to shell them one by one, or was it something from a can/frozen? Because if we order 7 spaghetti with clams, I'd like to see where he finds the time to shell them one by one while other orders arrive from other tables. The question remains, of course, but 25 euros is way too much for a dish like that. Maniche with tomato sauce and burrata... 18 euros. The kid liked them, but it was 7 sleeves of pasta 🤦‍♂️ We all had bread with the pasta to fill up a bit. Final result for 5 adults and 2 children: 7 first courses, 2 bottles of water, a bottle of wine for 25 euros: 200 euros to leave the table hungry. Given the quality of the first courses, we decided not to continue at this restaurant, but to finish lunch with granita and brioche at the restaurant next door. Around €30 per person. For the same quality...I repeat...for the same quality of food we were served, in almost all of Sicily, for this price, you'd eat at least double. Because if the quality had been worth it, we definitely would have ordered a second course, despite the above-average prices. In conclusion, I don't feel comfortable recommending this place for its quality/quantity/price ratio.

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.
