I migliori ristoranti di cucina mediterranea in Messina

09/11/2025: We’ve been all around Italy and have never had a bad meal until tonight. Terrible pizza, tasteless crust and toppings. Had the Seabass supposedly encrusted with almonds….. horrible as well. I saw someone at another table barely eat their pizza as well. Don’t go here.

07/11/2025: We had our first lunch of our 2 week Italy trip here. We loved the Margherita and pesto pizzas. My husband also got the gnocchi, which he loved. Cute outdoor spot for lunch, would recommend.

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.

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.

07/01/2026: Excellent restaurant with a beautiful view, we thank the very kind staff who found a panoramic table for my 86 year old mother, certain things alone are worth 5 stars ;)

10/10/2025: I think I've been a good customer and would have liked to continue being one, but the young owner is too fickle for my tastes, smiling and helpful one day, sulking and indolent the next when I ask a simple question. The service is decent but sometimes a bit counterintuitive. The rotisserie is decent but with above-average prices; the restaurant upstairs offers fairly good meat. What a shame! Customers, especially the good ones, need to be kept close. This review isn't about your competitors, but about a dissatisfied former customer.

17/09/2025: I had there the worst burger in my life, congrats

04/02/2026: We ate here twice. No fuzz, simple regional food well made and professionally served. Simple menu but with food others do not serve. Real home cooking as promised. We will come back.

20/01/2026: This place takes me back to my childhood...food just like my nona used to cook for me.

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

28/09/2025: -- Disappointing Experience at La Baracca I recently visited La Baracca, and unfortunately, the experience was anything but pleasant. The menu is extremely lacking in variety: few options, all banal, without any interesting or original offerings. But what made the evening truly unpleasant was the service. The waiters were rude and listless, with unprofessional attitudes and a clear lack of customer service. No smiles, no willingness to clarify questions about the menu, and extremely long waits even to order a glass of water. A place that, in my opinion, doesn't deserve the reputation it seems to have. If you're looking for a place where you feel welcomed and enjoy a delicious meal, I recommend looking elsewhere. ---

16/11/2025: UNACCEPTABLE!!! The staff was too friendly! From the appetizer to the main course, we ate wonderfully! But the worst part was the wine glass being double the usual size. P.S. I'm saddened to have tried the tuna tartare because I'm sure I'll never taste anything this good again.

09/11/2025: Perfect insalata di mare and polpo con patate. This is really an awsome dish! You need to try it. Great pastas and wine Grillo. Very friendly staff. Very. Nice place to eat and have nice time. Very good grappa and limoncello as the finish.

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.

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!

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!"

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

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

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.

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.

12/01/2026: Wonderful place, original sandwiches, friendly and helpful service... buy the T-shirt...

24/08/2025: Really good. The sandwiches are 500g each, so I recommend getting one for two people. The sandwiches are made with excellent quality ingredients and are nice and filling. The staff is very young and friendly.
