I migliori ristoranti di cucina pizza e pasta in Messina

23/09/2025: We were sitting on the beach in front of the restaurant. The smell of food made us hungry. I then found cozze (mussels) on the menu. The portion was a generous €15. I've never tasted better. Slightly spicy, with garlic, tomato, and white wine. Coperto was €1.50. The cozze is a dream. Good service with a sea view. Moretti draft beer is too expensive at €6 (0.4l).

22/09/2025: Lack of transparency... a well-kept beach in an excellent location... but what we consumers cannot and will not forgive is the lack of transparency and the unclear information regarding prices for admission, sunbeds, umbrellas, etc.

27/11/2025: I'm a super demanding customer; if I book a table, I expect it to be there at the scheduled time. Jokes aside, don't book: it's pointless. As soon as we arrived, perfectly on time, they didn't even check the reservation. They made us wait standing, then asked us again to sit at a table inside, which looked like a waiting room, and we remained there for 15 minutes. We decided to leave, disappointed, because we certainly would have waited much longer. To answer your question, I don't know which couple you saw, but my girlfriend was 5 minutes early, and I was at the 1:00 mark because I had to park my car. So, avoid making untrue statements, have the courage to apologize, and learn to behave.

28/10/2025: Chef Mimmo and his family provided an excellent experience. The food was phenomenal but the company of Mimmo, Vittorio, and Chef Mama was even better! Highly recommend dining here or trying one of their authentic cooking classes!

12/10/2025: We were satisfied with the service provided. The location and the food are a strong point of the entire establishment, which is truly evocative. We recommend it to anyone who wants to enjoy this wonderful experience.

07/09/2025: The pizza is good but not very good, the waiter and the pizza chef alone were unable to respect the waiting times

27/01/2025: We found this place by chance. We wanted to try the rustici, but ended up ordering pizza as well. Everything was very good. We'll definitely be back.

25/01/2025: I had ordered a maxi pizza at 8:30 and they said it would arrive at 9:30 at 10 nothing had arrived yet and I called them telling me that it still had to be done

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.

07/02/2026: Excellent pizzas, original and well-cooked. A wide selection of beers. Reasonable prices. Attentive and friendly staff. Located in the historic center, the restaurant is clean and spacious, with an open-view oven. Takeout and home delivery are also available. Reservations required.

23/01/2026: Super tasty, reasonable prices. I recommend it.

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 ;)

28/01/2026: It's no longer the Cascina of a few years ago, when everything was truly excellent. The fish appetizer is always a guarantee: smoked fish, shrimp cocktail, and octopus salad, all beautifully executed. First course: trofie with pistachios and shrimp. Good flavor, but the pasta was tough, a feeling confirmed several times by several people. Second course: very good swordfish au gratin, shrimp almost impossible to peel, and an unbalanced salad. Fruit salad: flavorless fruit; you can only tell what you're eating by looking at it. The service is generally courteous, but I've noticed a lack of professionalism, such as a failure to check whether everything was to your liking or for any intolerances or special needs, which should be part of the dining room's job (it also depends on the different attitudes you have toward those sitting at your table). The prices are always excellent, and the location is pleasant, especially in the summer. In short: affordable prices and a pleasant atmosphere, but the quality of the food and some aspects of the service are no longer what they once were. Currently, I would not recommend it to anyone looking for good food for any type of evening.

23/11/2025: This is a serious and well-organized restaurant! The service is also top-notch! There's nothing better in the area!

19/10/2025: Excellent pizza, but on a Saturday night, there was too much of a wait... all in all, a nice experience.

25/08/2025: Very good pizza Very friendly service.

06/11/2025: Simply excellent. Nine of us went to La Pergola for lunch, and everyone was extremely satisfied. We opted for the house menu, which includes a generous mixed appetizer, two first courses, and a mixed grill, including drinks. The quality of the food is very high, and everything is fresh and authentic; you can tell it's prepared with love and care. We'll definitely be back, and I highly recommend it.

14/10/2025: The arancini and vegetable croquettes were delicious. I went twice, with two different locals, so that shows how good it is!

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.

08/11/2025: Excellent food, both meat and fish, and also pizzas.

26/09/2025: Good-quality typical Sicilian dishes, with fast, courteous service. The restaurant is very well-maintained and clean. Affordable prices.

08/01/2026: A place furnished with care and style; we came on a Friday night with live music playing. It's popular with young people, but it's suitable for all ages. The aperitif is an excellent choice, and the bartenders serve excellent cocktails. A decent selection of wines is available. The only flaw: the bathroom door faces the hallway.

05/01/2026: TOP pizza, excellent quality, clean and tidy environment, impeccable and discreet service. A longer review wouldn't add anything to what's already been written. Only by trying it can you fully appreciate the experience. The heart of the town with its characteristic landscape is just steps away. It's important to note that the restaurant is accessible via a private service elevator that takes you to the restaurant floor, which is otherwise accessed by a flight of stairs.

23/08/2025: Dining with the sound of the sea in the background is simply wonderful.

13/08/2025: One of the best places in Messina. Very welcoming and excellent food.

24/10/2025: Excellent restaurant. The owners are very kind and the service is impeccable. The food is excellent and the place is clean.

13/10/2025: Beautiful... delicious food... friendly staff There were some inconveniences... on the part of the staff ... let's hope it doesn't happen again with other guests All in all, the food was important and the place was excellent ❤️❤️❤️❤️
