I migliori ristoranti di cucina mediterranea in Messina

06/05/2025: Pizzeria all'aperto nel centro di Taormina. Possibilità di scegliere tra molte varianti di pizza, dalle classiche alle gourmet guarnite con prodotti di qualità e buoni. Si viene subito accolti da un aperitivo di benvenuto e, in alcune sere, da gruppi di musica tradizionale. Personale disponibile e gentile.

03/05/2025: Vinimos por una clase de preparación de arancini. Francesca fue una maestra increíble y carismática que nos enseñó todos los secretos para hacer un arancino increíble... . Buen vino, buena compañía, gran experiencia

22/04/2025: Die Küche hat ihre Highlights (Lamm) und ihre Lowlights (kalter Fisch serviert). Das Service ist bemüht, kommt aber nicht wirklich über einen mittleren Standard hinaus. Was uns nicht gefallen hat war die Atmosphäre. Man sitzt in einem in die Jahre gekommenen Wintergarten und das Lokal wirkt kalt. Hier scheinen auch nur Touristen zu speisen und keine Einheimischen, was wir in Italien nie als gutes Zeichen erlebt haben.

14/04/2025: Cenamos aquí por mi cumpleaños y tuvimos una noche muy encantadora. Las mesas de la pequeña terraza de la azotea están en un lugar muy romántico, con la cumbre del Monte Etna justo visible sobre los antiguos tejados. Fuimos muy bien atendidos por el personal y las opciones de comida y vino fueron algunos de los mejores que probamos en Taormina.

14/08/2025: We were in the restaurant, the place was practically empty, 3 tables were occupied. The waiter pointed us to a table where we sat down. When we placed our order, we wanted to order a bottle of wine, the waiter informed us that this wasn’t possible because this is a restaurant and this is where you eat. The waiter refused to accept the order because we only wanted to order a bottle of wine. We are disgusted. Our rating - 1. You have a lot of work to do on the standard of customer service.

14/08/2025: A terrible experience. It starts with the menu, which is sparse, and continues with the dishes. "Delicate seafood salad...": I could have stayed for hours chewing this rubbery substance they'd reduced to the octopus, three shriveled mussels, and three shrimp with an unspeakable taste and texture. The oil is supermarket-quality, but of poor quality. We had it changed, and they opened a new bottle in front of us, but the result was the same. The mixed fried fish is full of peppers and zucchini, and the fish, with the exception of the small fish—the only real fish of the evening—is the calamari, which is so salty and rubbery that it makes no sense! In short, at a Sicilian restaurant with a view, all that's left is the view, and you pay for that with a hefty price tag. It's truly scandalous that tourists, perhaps because it's their first time eating Sicilian food, are forced to eat these things. And unfortunately, those who are inexperienced and unwary don't realize this. We complained on site, but all we got were big smiles. How sad! It's unfair that you're taking advantage of your little corner of paradise to sell these goods prepared this way. We're Sicilians, we're in our sixties, and we know Sicilian cuisine.

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.

24/08/2025: Great place, excellent sandwiches! The only complaint is the paid parking until 1 a.m. It's unfair that those who go to eat have to pay for parking.

30/10/2024: È un piacere ogni volta tornare a gustare la genuina cucina e la raffinatezza nell'esaltarne gli aromi e i profumi...non a caso è pluripremiata!

26/09/2024: We went to this restaurant with a tour group for pizza making. It is a tiny restaurant with a very friendly and service-oriented team. In all honesty, the pizza making class was pretty uninspired. More like watching one of the pizza cooks make a pizza. There was one opportunity to add your own ingredients to a pizza, but that is not exactly a pizza class. So, the class experience was pretty much a 2 out of 5. So, consider this instead a review of the pizza and restaurant itself. On that measure it was a solid to high 4 out of 5 stars. The quality of the pizza was excellent – crust, sauces, toppings. Service was good, although they seemed to lose interest as time went on, which drops to the 4 stars.

15/08/2025: Outstanding service. Beautiful presentation. It felt like a Michelin experience. Food was good but nothing mind blowing. We did a la carte so perhaps the tasting menu is more prestigious. No complaints and decent price for the experience.

12/08/2025: Our first impression of the restaurant was already spoiled, as it is located next to a busy southern road with constant traffic noise. Unfortunately, there are only two tables inside with a sea view; all the rest overlook neighboring houses. In the evening, trains passed right next to the restaurant, and there was loud music either from a nearby villa or from the beach. All of this is completely unworthy of a restaurant of this kind. The staff is excellent, and the dishes look appealing, but we found no new or exciting flavors. We left feeling disappointed and still hungry. After this restaurant, we went to another one.

26/07/2025: Beach equipped with qualified staff, crystal clear sea, we had lunch with an à la carte menu with normal prices, I recommend it

24/07/2025: Quiet beach, the food is divine.

18/08/2025: 5€ for a beer, that's not even in the Plaza Mayor, what an outrage.

15/08/2025: Excellent granita, excellent service in a breathtaking view

01/08/2025: Adan invited us in, and it was a great success. Delicious food in a peaceful atmosphere. The perfect spot. The food is homemade and made with care.

25/07/2025: Very tasty food, good beer, very good ice creams and all of that is really cheap. Pasta, gnocchi, pizza is a first class. Service is very fast, lovely people, family atmosphere, very clean, beautiful views!

31/07/2025: Wow! Amazing service and delicious food, esquisite food and delicious dessert.

29/06/2025: Excellent, we were a group of 50 people, all very satisfied.

15/08/2025: A lovely place along the Messina ring road, not far from the city center. The granitas are excellent, and the brioches are very good.

11/04/2025: Aperitivo al disopra delle nostre aspettative, barman professionale e molto attento nelle portate. Super consigliato. Ho pensato troppo tardi per le foto, ci ritornerò.

08/08/2025: We spend our last day dinner in Giardino di Sicilia, and I wish we found earlier. They do the maximum and take some pictures about how they make pizzas. :) If you are from Hungary, this place a must see. They give us a warm welcome 🫶

29/07/2025: Unfortunately, the experience wasn't a positive one. What was listed on the menu didn't match the dish presented at the table. Ingredients were missing and weren't communicated to us. They tried to create a dish with just a few ingredients, and the result was terrible. I'll leave you to imagine... It's a shame because it was tasty! They need to pay more attention to their guests and communicate more with them.

05/08/2025: We arrived late in the evening without a reservation and asked if it was still possible to have dinner. They said yes, but unfortunately, the experience didn't live up to our expectations. We ordered some first courses, but they were served raw. After pointing this out, the dish was returned, but instead of being removed from the bill, it was simply discounted. When paying, we noticed that some prices were different (higher) than those listed on the menu. Overall, the bill was too expensive for the quality of the food and service we received. We won't be returning.

29/07/2025: 1 star only for the enchanting scenery. 1 star because I want to give this place another chance, but the experience was TERRIBLE. I WASTED MY MONEY. No menu at the table, otherwise I would never have ordered the fried food. I discovered after asking for the menu (which is a laminated sheet) that it costs 14 euros per portion and is frozen. The spaghetti with clams arrived, and I had them taken back immediately because they were so undercooked they barely bend with a fork and tasted like nothing. After discussing it with the waiter, I guess they hadn't stirred them in the pan with the clams, so they remained raw AND DID NOT TAKE ON THE FLAVOR OF THE CLAMS... in short, they were taken out of the water RAW and placed on the plate. No complaints about the risotto as a replacement, because they made it on the spot given the time I waited. I certainly didn't appreciate the fact that a waitress who hadn't seen the dish later tried to defend the chef, but was fortunately stopped by the waitress who had tasted the dish. What was the point of bringing up a problem that's already been resolved? So you try to tell the customer he's an idiot when it's clear there was a mistake in the kitchen. We ask for ice cream and there's none. Conclusions. A seaside place with restaurant prices, but the food is frozen, and if you don't ask for a menu, you won't notice. Do you really want to eat fried calamari or something else and pay 14 euros a plate?
