I migliori ristoranti di cucina mediterranea in Messina

25/08/2026: The menu is simple yet refined. The flavor is exceptional. Kudos to the entire staff.

24/08/2026: Perfect place for beach day, clear water, fair prices

06/08/2026: The appetizer was good, the mixed fried food was excellent, everything was fresh, the pasta tartar and shrimp with truffle was excellent. There was a small glitch, but it can happen. For my first time, it was ok.

06/08/2026: A sublime appetizer: boiled calamari accompanied by peeled prawns on a bed of green beans, radicchio, and raw broad beans. A delight to say the least. I highly recommend it to anyone who wants to savor the true aromas and flavors of the season. I won't bother listing the other dishes, which are all worth discovering. After yesterday, I can also recommend the pauro en crosta. Refined cuisine in its naturalness and beautiful composition. An elegant location in every way. Top.

29/04/2026: A lovely discovery. A wonderful facility with farm animals outside. Delicious food and friendly staff.

05/04/2026: I have nothing to say about the place, very beautiful and with a certain nightlife and a nice background music, the pizzolo with Nutella was delicious, but I can't say the same thing about my pizza, a buffalo mozzarella, which had a rather watery sauce (not due to the buffalo mozzarella), and a slightly undercooked dough... I hope it was a unique case due to the important table I was at.

22/08/2026: The beach area is overrated. While it’s beautiful, it’s incredibly crowded. It’s conveniently located near the cable car, but upon arrival, they asked if we had a reservation. Funny enough, I attempted to book with them on their Instagram twice without any response. I even texted the phone number listed on Google, but that didn’t reply either. They told us that they were fully booked and then all of a sudden offered us a spot. However, they charged us 70 euros for two sunbeds and an umbrella in August 2026. The sunbeds were very close to each other. There are other beaches in Taormina that even offer shuttle service from your hotel for half the price. Considering these factors, I don’t think it’s worth the hassle and expense.

22/08/2026: I had a great time, the Lido was well-equipped and clean, the restrooms were clean, the lunch was excellent, and the staff were very friendly!! I highly recommend it!

14/08/2026: Very disappointed with the food. The fish didn’t taste fresh and the steak was the cheapest kind. Never again.

09/08/2026: I had the breaded swordfish, delicious, exceptional. The staff was very kind and always available.

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.

19/08/2026: A few nights ago, I visited this pizzeria in Taormina with a breathtaking view. Unfortunately, I have to give it two stars because the service wasn't to my liking. The "head waiter" yells at and belittles the waiters in front of the entire crowd for his own mistakes. The table management needs rethinking; we had to change three tables and were told we'd sat down without reading a supposed sign at the entrance that managed customer flow. Aside from this unfortunate inconvenience, which affected several customers like me and could be explained by the chaos (though, in my opinion, you can't go wrong in Taormina), I can't deny how strategically located this restaurant/pizzeria is with a stunning view. The pizza was also very good, and the waiters were all very kind and approachable, while the less experienced ones were very polite and humble.

18/08/2026: A wonderful place with a view of the city, the sea, and Mount Etna. It was a pleasure to dine with such an unforgettable view. We had a pizza with truffle (and it really comes through here), as well as one with mortadella and pistachios. We were very pleased.

21/08/2026: The experience at this restaurant was excellent: the staff was knowledgeable and polite, especially the owner: friendly, approachable, polite, and very knowledgeable. The dishes were beautifully composed and made with delicious ingredients. The quality/price ratio was excellent. Highly recommended!

14/08/2026: I'm forced to give one star. Only the location is worth saving. The rating stems from the fact that, even though I had informed the wait staff that I was intolerant to basil and that I absolutely did not want it in my dishes, I found it not only as a garnish on the plate of spaghetti I ordered, but also in the sauce. Result? Ruined dinner... not consumed, and even paid in full. The complete lack of attention in the kitchen demonstrates a serious sloppiness. If a restaurant is unable to handle such a simple request (or notify if the dish cannot be changed), it should not accept the order. Terrible experience, superficial service, and a total lack of respect for food intolerances and the customer. Highly discouraged, especially for anyone with allergies or intolerances! Never return.

19/08/2026: Friendly service, arrogant owner, and inedible food. High prices. I don't recommend it.

09/08/2026: Truly refined dishes, meticulously crafted and sublime on the palate. My partner and I were the only ones in the restaurant, and it created a fantastic sense of intimacy. The owners were also very kind in welcoming us. It was a wonderful experience to see the chefs at work in the open kitchen. Everything was wonderful. Prices were reasonable for the quality of the place. Highly recommended!!

02/07/2026: There's no contest... The excellent raw materials and amazingly cooked win hands down. The wine list is also excellent. If you ask where we go to eat in Milazzo, you'll say L'Ugghiularu.

22/06/2026: Every time I return to Milazzo, it's a must-visit. Excellent food, friendly staff, and a pleasant surprise: the completely renovated restaurant.

01/07/2026: A disgrace to Italian cuisine. The risotto was overcooked, with rice swimming in old oil. The white wine was poor quality and barely chilled. Cars drove through the narrow alley, almost passing right through the plate. A typical tourist trap.

29/06/2026: I went to this restaurant for lunch and enjoyed excellent linguine with swordfish and fresh mint.

25/08/2026: I'm talking about the pizza part of the place: a truly fantastic place! Not only for the quality of the pizza, but also for the spectacular location. The balcony offers a wonderful view of the sea and the Ancient Theater of Taormina, creating a truly evocative and unforgettable atmosphere. The pizza was delicious, well-made, and with quality ingredients. A special mention goes to Massimo, the waiter who welcomed and served us with great kindness, helpfulness, and professionalism. He immediately made us feel at ease and made the evening even more enjoyable. A wonderful experience, which I absolutely recommend to anyone in Taormina! 🍕❤️🌊

25/08/2026: Outstanding food and atmosphere is even better. Beautiful view of the ocean lit up by the moon. Excellent seafood and great service. Portion size is perfect.

23/08/2026: We dined at Rosso Divino and the experience was excellent, perfectly in keeping with the sophisticated atmosphere of Taormina's historic center. Upon arrival, we were shown the live fish, a gesture we greatly appreciated as it demonstrates the attention, transparency, and care in selecting the ingredients. The dinner was well executed, with dishes expertly prepared using fresh ingredients, in a pleasant and refined setting. Overall, a high-quality evening, confirming Rosso Divino as a solid choice for those seeking quality in the heart of Taormina.

22/08/2026: Really exceptional service, above and beyond. Delicious food and lovely atmosphere.

09/08/2026: A real treat for seafood lovers. Trattoria Ai G echi was one of the pleasant surprises of our stay in Stromboli. Truly excellent seafood cuisine and carefully prepared dishes. A special mention goes to the first courses: truly excellent, so much so that they were among the best seafood first courses we've eaten. Well-balanced flavors, carefully selected ingredients, and a quality that can be felt in every bite. The wine selection is also very good, a pleasant complement to the experience, and the view that accompanies the dinner is truly beautiful, making the atmosphere even more pleasant. The second courses are good, although, in our opinion, they don't reach the same level as the first courses, which are definitely the strong point of the cuisine. Overall, a truly positive gastronomic experience. A place we absolutely recommend and where I would gladly return.

06/08/2026: We stopped for two fish entrees: a beautiful view and delicious first courses with handmade pasta and super fresh fish! We'll be back!
