I migliori ristoranti di cucina pizza e pasta in Messina

16/07/2025: Simple but good pizza. A good place to eat as well.

14/07/2025: Made very welcome after a late arrival in Naxxos ( and the hotels restaurants were closed at 21.30hrs !! ) - excellent food throughout - great attentive and professional service - family run - definately worth a visit.

19/09/2025: Excellent quality food and innovative recipes linked to tradition, impeccable service in a comfortable and peaceful environment

15/09/2025: We go there often for both lunch and dinner. We've always had great food, whether it's fish or meat. The wine list is excellent. I give it top marks because every time we've gone to the grill, we've always had a wonderful time, and those few hours are a chance to relax and unwind, so much so that we don't mind the occasional wait or not finding one of our favorite dishes. There's an internal garden and a panoramic terrace, which are our children's favorite spots. Overall, highly recommended. Ask the staff for advice, relax, and treat yourself to a quality lunch or dinner.

06/10/2025: We had a great outdoor spot. The food was very good and the portions were generous. Service was excellent, and we felt completely at home. A top address in Messina! You can also eat early (by Italian standards) (from 11:30 a.m.).

05/10/2025: An excellent restaurant adjacent to Messina Cathedral. Both indoor and outdoor seating are available. The restaurant is air-conditioned. Reservations are recommended, especially in the summer when the city is crowded with tourists and cruise passengers. The dishes offered (both meat and fish) are delicious. The only drawback is that the ingredients on the menu are listed exclusively in English. The prices are reasonable.

12/10/2025: The best restaurant in the area. Very tasty food (thanks Mr. Santino), very good value for money. Pleasant atmosphere, view from the terrace to Isola Bella, elegant and welcoming owners. Good luck!

10/10/2025: Great food and very reasonable prices! Would highly recommend

09/09/2025: The pizzas are very tasty, but the wait is quite long. The pasta is okay. A bit hectic.

21/08/2025: We had a good time, but not so good. The food was good, but unfortunately, we were served very late. We waited 10 minutes before being seated. Our order wasn't taken until half an hour after we sat down, and the pizzas arrived another 30 minutes later. The owner said the service is very slow because there aren't many people working in the dining room, and I understand her. She and another guy serve, and there really aren't many people for all this seating! What I didn't like was the fact that customers have to understand and normalize the quality of their service, justifying the lack of staff with "they can't find people to work, young people don't want to work." In short, these are prehistoric considerations. I'm leaving the one star because of this narrow-mindedness. We're not there yet...

06/10/2025: Very good food and incredibly friendly staff. A fantastic location, where even in bad weather you can sit sheltered yet close to the water.

05/10/2025: The restaurant is excellent.... A bucket of water on the beach would be wonderful.

10/09/2025: I went to an 18th birthday party at this wonderful establishment. Excellent food, friendly staff, and a delightful atmosphere.

24/08/2025: 🏰🌿✨ “Once upon a time, there was a princess who dreamed of her eighteenth birthday… and that dream, thanks to the splendid Villa Musco Reception Hall, came true. The lawn was an enchanted carpet, the pool a mirror of stars and dancing lights; every corner shone with magic, enveloped in refinement and elegance. The soft lights, like silent fairies, caressed the greenery and the water, creating a fairytale atmosphere that captivated all guests. At the center of this scene, our princess: radiant, excited, wrapped in her sparkling dress that reflected the moon and the sky. Every smile, every glance, every moment carried with it the enchantment of a daydream. A heartfelt thank you to Villa Musco, its owner, and all the tireless and wonderful staff: together with us, you have written an unforgettable chapter, one that will remain etched in the hearts of our daughter and all of us forever. 👑🌹✨

15/10/2025: Small place (max 45 people), but that's okay. Scaletta Zanclea is a small town on the Messina/Catania coast, run by a husband and wife team. Egidia works as a waitress, and Mario is the excellent pizza chef. The pizzas are varied, the dough is very good and easy to digest, and the price is reasonable. If you're passing through Scaletta Zanclea, take advantage of it. It's definitely worth the effort. 😉

02/10/2025: Excellent experience, very good and easy-to-digest pizza. Friendly and welcoming staff. Will definitely return...nice place, a bit small.

05/09/2025: Excellent experience, excellent quality/price ratio, generous portions, I will return as I have done other times as a regular customer and very satisfied.

05/09/2025: Recommended for the food and the exquisite flavors. Compliments to Enrico for the service.

28/08/2025: Delicious pizza, nice service, we will definitely come back here, grazzie

17/07/2025: Very fresh products, top-notch hospitality!

14/09/2025: Excellent cuisine, top-notch professionalism and courtesy.

13/09/2025: Excellent, quality and variety of choice, prices are normal

04/10/2025: Lovely and clean location Excellent coffee

29/09/2025: I've been there several times for lunch and it's always been excellent, with delicious dishes and exceptional raw seafood! Excellent food from appetizer to dessert.

20/09/2025: Dinner with my wife, we chose a truly excellent fish platter accompanied by a white pizza with olive oil and oregano fresh from the wood-fired oven. The waiters brought pizzas to the tables for other customers, which looked inviting. Excellent fish, friendly, and professional, from everyone. I will definitely return with the rest of the family. Choosing the fish, preparing it, and serving it at the tables is a skill that you at Frontemare know and apply. Thank you

07/09/2025: "I have to say that my experience at this restaurant was disappointing. The food was subpar and absolutely not good; there was nothing that impressed me. It's a shame, because the staff was very polite and helpful; they did their best to make the evening enjoyable, even though the food service left much to be desired. I hope the quality of the food improves, as there is potential, but at the moment I can't recommend it."

15/09/2025: Awful service. Awful food. Staff more concerned with themselves than the service or food. Tried to charge us for water we didn’t even have. We tried to tell one server he had been our only good part of our evening and he sent another server over as he said we had complained about him and the other server came over on the defensive asking why we had complained. We had oysters to start but they were still attached to the shell. Our mains were ok but as soon as my husband finished his dish they took it away as I was still eating which made me rush as the staff all just wanted us to finish as they were sitting down to eat themselves. We kept to then try to get there attention to get more drinks or just the bill and it seemed such an inconvenience to them. They were not nice at all. Will not return

15/09/2025: Very friendly staff and servers! Peaceful setting Varied and popular pasta dishes

29/09/2025: On the roadside, a stone's throw from the beach, lunch with a sea view, quality typical Italian dishes, pleasant service, I recommend

28/09/2025: Nice charcuterie board and amazing pizza. The staff was friendly and the location was nice and with a warm atmosphere. Not very expensive, about 67€ for the charcuterie board, two pizza, half a litre of white wine, one limoncelo spritz and we brought a few pieces of pizza that we couldn't finish. Highly recommend.
