I migliori ristoranti di cucina mediterranea in Messina

23/10/2025: I am speechless. I never ate such a sad potatoe in my whole life before. The rest wasn't better. The most joke was that they aren't using capers from the island, which is also called the caper island. Instead they use capers from the jar with vinegar. What...?

15/10/2025: I had a very tasty meal here, and the service was quick and friendly.

31/03/2026: Comfortable atmosphere, decent food, long wait

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

14/04/2026: There are places that aren't just destinations, but states of mind. Between the infinite blue of the sea and the authentic flavors of our land, here time stands still to let you breathe in the pure beauty.

28/03/2026: I think it's one of the most beautiful places ever. Without exaggeration, a bay that for me even surpasses Isola Bella: simply the best. But what makes this place truly special is everything else: the impeccable management, the genuine courtesy, the professionalism, the constant commitment. Behind all this is a story: from Ulla and Saro, the heart and soul of the project, to their three children who, following in their footsteps, have carried on an important tradition, innovating and improving it without ever betraying its essence. There's evident care in the sourcing of the products, in the daily menu, in the drinks, in the service... everything is thought out, everything is done with passion. And that makes the difference.

12/04/2026: The staff are helpful and polite.

17/02/2026: The food was good, but the girl at the entrance was a bit arrogant.

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.
