I migliori ristoranti di cucina mediterranea in Messina

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.

18/01/2026: I've been twice and will return again. Excellent hospitality, and the wellness center is top-notch. The price is reasonable for the services they offer.

05/01/2026: The structure is cared for down to the smallest details, but what distinguishes this structure from others is the very professional staff who know how to take care of you in every way.

18/11/2025: Unfortunately, I live far from this shop, where I would be a loyal customer. They have everything I consider a treat and that gives me peace of mind. Luckily, online orders exist. I was really pleased with the service, very fast, and the package was well-packaged. Thank you.

15/11/2025: The report is negative because there is no way for elderly people who do not have a credit card to pay cash on delivery.

25/01/2026: Service is a disaster. Zero customer service.

18/01/2026: We had a reservation for 12:00 on New Year’s Day, but were not seated until 12:47. During this time, staff repeatedly told us it would be “another 10 minutes,” which was said multiple times without any clear update or honesty about the delay. While waiting, we could overhear staff discussing that the owner had decided to open at 12 following New Year’s celebrations, and that several staff members did not want to be there. When we eventually entered the restaurant, tables were still being set up, and we were asked to wait in a seating area for a further extended period. Once seated, we were not provided with menus or offered drinks. After asking three separate times for menus—each time being told “five minutes”—a further 15 minutes passed with no service. At that point, we decided to leave. For an establishment that presents itself as high-end and holds a Michelin star, this level of organisation, service, and professionalism was extremely disappointing. Delays can happen, but poor communication, lack of basic service, and unprofessional behaviour are not acceptable at this standard. The experience did not meet expectations, and staff training and customer service clearly need improvement.

25/01/2026: The food was beyond all expectations...truly excellent.

10/11/2025: A truly unique, extensive menu. Elegant atmosphere.

30/01/2026: Welcoming place, qualified staff and easily accessible location.

15/12/2025: Well-made ready-made meals. Reasonable prices. The mixed roast meats are delicious. I recommend it.

17/07/2025: Non è stata la prima volta che ci sono stata, e speravo che qualcosa fosse cambiata dall'una volta. Sicuramente si, ma in peggio, sia come qualità che come quantità. Parte degli antipasti sono stati richiesti perché dimenticati di servirli, qualche altro dimenticato proprio! La fetta di carne arrosto da dividere in due persone🤦. Ed il prezzo pure aumentato!! Ok, la prossima volta opteremo per altro.....

13/07/2025: Ho cenato al Ristorante Pane e Vino e sono rimasto molto soddisfatto. L'ambiente è accogliente e il personale è stato gentilissimo e disponibile. Ho ordinato l'antipasto la carne squisita, con sapori equilibrati e una presentazione curata. Anche il rapporto qualità-prezzo è ottimo. Lo consiglio vivamente!"

25/09/2025: A true gem in the lower part of the village, just a few meters from the sea and the pebble beach. The food is a delight for the taste buds; you'll never want to leave the table. All the freshest local fish is served with kindness by the owner Aldo's sons, who are also extremely hospitable and knowledgeable in explaining the dishes. The wine list is varied, featuring Sicilian products to suit all budgets. If you're near the village, stop here for an experience you won't soon forget.

13/09/2025: On the recommendation of a local, we opted for this restaurant... a beautiful, simply furnished room that adds warmth to the atmosphere, and a small outdoor terrace. Friendly and helpful service... Tagliatelle with cherry tomatoes, shrimp, and eggplant (very delicate), a good seafood appetizer, and a grilled dish (delicious sea bass), shrimp, swordfish roll, and grilled vegetables... We were very satisfied!

27/12/2025: Good fish, excellent prices and very friendly staff

06/10/2025: Nice location and friendly service. The food was okay, but nothing more.

25/11/2025: The food was miserable and expensive

20/11/2025: A place with typical Sicilian food, a very picturesque atmosphere, and a good location.

24/09/2025: We organized a wonderful party for about 60 people at Manuja in September 2025 under the new management of Giorgia and her husband. Aside from their kindness and helpfulness, the food was delicious, we had a great time, the place was magical, and the buffet was so good! We had both vegetarians and celiacs, and they were able to accommodate every request. Thank you so much for organizing our pre-wedding!

24/08/2025: Our expectations were a bit disappointing, with pizzas that were unfortunately not good. I can only hope it was just a moment and that everything becomes 5 stars 😜

11/11/2025: The restaurant is run by an Italian and a Polish woman (both serving customers). The menu is in Polish. It's tucked away in a quiet area. It's quiet and peaceful. Plenty of tables. The food is delicious, just like in Italy. I highly recommend it.

10/11/2025: The ambiance is wonderful, located in a dreamy area, very close to the Greek Theatre of Taormina, and across from the small Church of San Domenico. The atmosphere is very welcoming; there are always musicians wandering around the restaurants, adding a vibrant touch to the dining experience. I enjoyed the food; I tried three dishes: eggplant parmigiana, pasta with shrimp, and grilled clams. My favorite was the grilled clams.

17/09/2025: Good place for a simple meal, decent cuisine. Too bad we couldn't enjoy a sea view, but overall the food is still satisfactory and the flavors are quite classic.

10/09/2025: I had the pleasure of dining here last night. The place is very elegant and pleasant. We were served by very kind and helpful waiters, always ready to recommend the right food. We started with a delicious shrimp cocktail, followed by spaghetti with clams and gnocchi with pesto and shrimp, all accompanied by a fruity white wine that made the dinner incredibly tasty. We finished with a panna cotta and an apple tart. Nothing to add, everything was perfect. The sound of the waves in the background created a magical atmosphere. If you love good food, this is a must-try, highly recommended!

06/12/2025: A lovely restaurant near the center of Messina. Good food, excellently prepared. All accompanied by courteous and attentive service.

15/11/2025: I had lunch with some other people at a charity lunch. I have to say, everything was fine. I just tried the second course because I didn't want to weigh myself down.
