12/04/2026: A quick visit to Pistoia for a spring evening... we stumbled upon this quieter place, compared to the noisy and crowded places near the square, and I must say that in addition to having a good meal, we found kindness and familiarity... we felt right at home.

08/03/2026: Great lunch I had here - anchovies and pasta with rabbit. The service guys did not seem very happy though.

10/04/2026: This restaurant serving traditional Tuscan cuisine is located along the Via del Gello in the city of Pistoia. It offers a welcoming and refined atmosphere, a quiet setting surrounded by greenery, and spacious, well-appointed rooms with comfortable and tastefully set tables. Here, you can enjoy excellent meat dishes and delicious first courses, accompanied by a good selection of local wines and friendly, helpful service.

29/03/2026: Negative experience. This restaurant is not kid-friendly, neither in terms of space nor attitude. No attention and, above all, an annoyed and intolerant attitude toward children. Furthermore, the food was average and the portions were small. We definitely won't be returning, and I don't recommend it, not just to families, but to anyone at all.

24/04/2026: Anyone visiting Pistoia should definitely go to La Cantinetta. Everything is perfect: a beautifully curated food and wine list, a cozy atmosphere, and, most importantly, impeccable service. The friendliness and expertise are second to none. The same goes for the food: the risotto was perfect, the filetta di manzo outstanding, and the pizza was also very good. We ate there three times, and it was always incredibly delicious. The value for money is excellent. Many thanks to the staff who made this possible and gave us three wonderful evenings!

07/04/2026: Quality dishes, courtesy but obviously it's not a fast food and you have to wait wisely...

14/04/2026: We found this charming trattoria by chance while walking around trying to decide where to eat! If I'm not mistaken, it's family-run, which is great. We ate really well, and I highly recommend it.

13/04/2026: Thank you for a very delicious dinner!

25/02/2026: Very nice place with two entrances, inside and out. Friendly and professional staff. Highly recommended. Parking always available.

14/09/2025: Recently visited this charming little bar located conveniently near the University of Messina. As expected for the area, you'll find plenty of students frequenting this spot, creating a lively academic atmosphere. Space & Seating: The bar is quite compact with limited seating, so if you're planning to visit with a larger group, I'd recommend arriving early or being prepared to wait. During daytime hours, the outdoor seating can get quite sunny, making indoor spots more comfortable. Service & Staff: The service was pleasant, with friendly male and female bartenders who were professional and accommodating throughout my visit. I ordered the Crema di Caffè with Panna, which offered good value for money in terms of both quality and portion size. While it was enjoyable and reasonably priced, I wouldn't say it's the absolute best Crema di Caffè you'll find in Messina – but certainly worth trying. Overall: A decent neighborhood spot that's definitely worth a try if you're walking through this area of Messina. While it has some limitations in terms of space and the sweetness level of certain items, the friendly service and reasonable prices make it a solid choice for a quick coffee break, especially if you're in the university district. Recommended for: Students, coffee lovers, quick stops, solo visits

24/07/2025: It was a pleasure to calm down during a hot day in Messina. Nice barman served me tasty kind of espresso with ice-cream. Delicious and for a good price. Grazie. 😘

14/04/2026: Looking for a restaurant after leaving the train station on a Sunday at 2 pm, we stumbled upon Ristorante Centrale, which was one of the few still open. We had a pretty good meal; the dishes were decent and we were served quickly.

12/04/2026: We stumbled upon this restaurant by chance, my husband, my two small children, and I. I ordered lasagna, and my husband ordered cacio e pepe. Unfortunately, my lasagna was truly inedible: I only tasted a single forkful, and it tasted like a single porridge, almost like a muddled casserole, without a pleasant, well-defined flavor. I couldn't eat it. Even my husband's cacio e pepe, although he ate it because he was hungry, wasn't made well and didn't have the flavor one would normally expect from such a simple yet typical dish. When the waiter came to collect our plates, I sincerely pointed out that the lasagna was inedible. I didn't ask for another dish, I didn't demand anything, I simply left practically everything on my plate. In the end, I only ate the two small pieces of schiacciata that were brought at the beginning. The most unpleasant thing was the way the situation was handled: when my husband stayed to pay, he was told that the kitchen had tasted the lasagna and that everything was fine. We still paid for everything, including one dish that wasn't eaten because it was truly unacceptable. In our opinion, regardless of personal taste, in a case like this, it would have been more appropriate not to charge for at least the dish that was left almost entirely. We won't be returning.
