I migliori ristoranti di cucina pizza e pasta in Messina

30/01/2026: I was there yesterday. The pizza was excellent like few others in the area. You can tell by the look of it, the care that goes into its preparation. The dough was really good. I highly recommend trying this place. Make a reservation!

23/01/2026: Truly impressive pizzeria and restaurant! We went for dinner with my friends and were truly satisfied... We stayed for 2 nights, and the food was truly delicious. We'll be back.

09/11/2025: I've been going to Iyad, my husband's favorite pizzeria, for 17 years now. I love their pizza and their potatoes... Excellent.

26/10/2025: I've been coming to this pizzeria for about thirty years, and it's always a guarantee. The owner is a real character: direct, ironic, and unfiltered, but with that warm, friendly atmosphere that makes you feel at home. His jokes are now part of the experience! 😄 His pizza is unlike any other: a very light and incredibly digestible dough, with a secret touch that makes it unique. The desserts are also a must; after so many years, I still don't know whether I prefer the almond and cinnamon one or the citrus one, both spectacular. The ingredients are always fresh and of excellent quality. The place may not be the prettiest, and the prices are a bit high, but the quality, friendliness, and authentic atmosphere make it worth returning every time. A true, authentic pizzeria full of character, just like its owner.

22/02/2026: Amazing location, good food, fast service, reasonable prices.

15/02/2026: My boyfriend and I ate fish and were sick all night with diarrhea. It was a really bad experience, and we'll obviously never go back!

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

22/02/2026: Welcoming and clean place. Excellent pizza with quality ingredients. Super!

11/02/2026: Excellent pizza...rich in toppings and good flavor of the dough

03/03/2026: Very nice place Top-notch service The food is very good

04/01/2026: The wait was very long (they served us about an hour after we arrived). The food was good, the desserts fantastic.

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.

03/03/2026: Exceptional pizza! 5 well-deserved stars.

24/12/2025: Delicious food and service. The owner and staff are attentive and incredibly friendly. Today there was a variety of antipasti, delicious fish, and to finish, lots of desserts, each accompanied by a little story. Tomorrow I'll be back for pizza when the wood-fired oven is lit. Highly recommended!

10/09/2025: I did well to trust the positive reviews, excellent experience 👌

08/09/2025: Ruined evening. As soon as my wife and I arrived, we saw a quiet and relaxing atmosphere; we had chosen based on the reviews. We ordered mussels at 8:30 PM, and they arrived almost immediately and were delicious. The two plates of squid in sauce we ordered only arrived at 10:45 PM, which, despite the wait, had given us pause for thought, as it would have meant they were preparing them on the spot. But reality shattered any belief, as they were cold on the outside and the filling inside was frozen. We sent them to be reheated, but they were inedible due to the sour tomato sauce. The waitress tried to apologize, but to no avail. She said the cook blamed the sauce for being too acidic, forgetting that even bottled sauce can be adjusted for acidity. We didn't order anything else. Two and a half hours for two dishes, and paid 50 euros for two people, without wine. Highly not recommended!!!

29/10/2025: What a delight. Appetizers, first courses, roast meats like mutton, buinissimi, and fresh fries—it's like lunch at grandma's house. The owner and staff are very kind and courteous.

19/10/2025: I had to stop by by chance. The place is definitely not touristy (I understood from the local views). But the atmosphere is really nice, the food is good :)

13/09/2025: I was drawn in by the reviews, but... No kidding! The place is very old, very dirty, perhaps not renovated in 40 years, with terrible decor. The bathroom is shameful, all broken and dirty. I can't even imagine the food. The prices are low, but the food isn't up to par. The only decent thing is the pizza. We ordered a kind of tagliata served 1980s-style with a balsamic vinegar glaze in a zigzag pattern. It was old, tasteless, and stringy, and cost 14 euros! The mixed grill was decent, but I wouldn't recommend it to anyone! I'm sorry, places like this should just close down in 2025.

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.

10/11/2025: Friendly staff, friendly owner, excellent food, and everything is fresh. It has a sea view. I was there a few years ago. I really enjoyed it and recommend it.

28/09/2025: Family run and sweet staff… definitely an unhurried vibe which we didn’t mind! The pasta with baked ricotta was soooo yummy as were the grilled vegetables. Tasted like going to a friend’s family house for dinner!

02/12/2025: I wanted to try it more than once to see if it was an isolated incident. The tomato on the focaccia was completely sour (happened several times) and there was almost no mozzarella/cheese (just a hint). Plus, the place was cold. It's a shame because the place is nice, but under these conditions, we won't be coming back.

27/09/2025: Upon entering the restaurant, we were greeted unwelcome by a lady who, when we requested a table we'd previously reserved over the phone, exclaimed, "I don't have a table, wait there!" (all in Sicilian). Once we secured a table, the quality of service improved. We ordered a simple mixed fried dish and the traditional focaccia, which was very good. One downside was the large number of animals, given that we were sitting in the outdoor area.

25/01/2026: Nice place, but nothing special. I didn't see anything interesting on the menu, and I had a pizza, which was decent. Personally, I won't be back. I think there's better, sorry. 😔

15/11/2025: The calamari stuffed with onions and Malvasia wine is one of the best dishes I've ever tasted! The caponata was superb, the service was fast, and the atmosphere was relaxed.
