I migliori ristoranti in Messina

10/08/2025: One dish better than the next! Excellent experience, both meat and fish. Returned after 4 years and it's still a great choice.

07/08/2025: The pizzas are very good and they are very friendly. I would definitely come back. Highly recommended.

30/07/2025: I'd like to point out that the restaurant requires reservations at least one day in advance. We called at the last minute looking for a place to have lunch for 13 people and asked if they could make us a simple pasta dish. The owner told us he'd welcome us but didn't have much choice since we needed a reservation, but we reiterated that we were interested in a simple pasta dish since we were just passing through... We arrived and the place is surrounded by greenery (don't be afraid of the road you're driving on, because it's really worth visiting and trying the restaurant's food). The view is beautiful and the place is very well-kept, with a "family" style... We immediately noticed the owner was thoughtful, since 13 people is quite a lot, but then he offered us some house appetizers, which we decided to try given his kindness (excellent, I'd say!), and with these we were already full 😁 Then we had the famous pasta, which we were offered a couple of variations to try as a sampler, placing trays in the centerpieces (homemade tagliatelle with white ragù and tomato sauce) that were exceptional!!! After the pasta, we couldn't bring ourselves to eat the second course, but, God willing, we'll try them again... We were offered the house dessert, which we thoroughly enjoyed... In conclusion... I recommend it because it's worth it!

25/07/2025: We had dinner with friends. The pizzas were made exclusively with home-grown ingredients, and they were delicious!

27/07/2025: Exquisite food cooked with typically Sicilian care and attention, friendly and helpful managers.

18/07/2025: Personale molto gentile ed amichevole che sembrava quasi di sentirsi a casa. Ovviamente il cibo ottimo (e per i pugliesi ce ne vuole).

31/07/2025: Small place with very good snacks and dishes. We tried two different pastas which were very tasty. The place is very affordable.

29/07/2025: A true recommendation – authentic, heartfelt, and delicious! My boyfriend and I had lasagna, pasta carbonara, and pizza – and I have to say: Opinions are divided here. You can choose between the hustle and bustle up in Taormina, where the narrow streets are packed with people, or here – a bit quieter, with cars nearby, but with much more space, a pleasant atmosphere, and a view of the lively hustle and bustle after a visit to Isola Bella. The restaurant is family-run, with warm service, attentive staff, and a genuine passion for cooking. All three dishes were perfectly seasoned: magnificently seasoned, harmonious in flavors, with no added seasoning – simply delicious! The value for money is also particularly noteworthy: you really get a lot for the quality of the food, the portion size, and the service. If you're looking for an authentic culinary experience away from the tourist crowds, this is the place for you. We'll definitely be back! Pizza, 2x pasta, 4 beers 44€

12/05/2025: The best Greek yogurt in Messina congratulations.

08/05/2025: Always a chill place and good quality

12/08/2025: Nice restaurant, but according to the waiter they don't have any chicken dishes and you can't take food home

06/08/2025: Great food and very friendly/competent service!

09/07/2025: It's a real gem! A family-run trattoria where you can feel the passion and authenticity from the moment you arrive. The food is simply delicious, prepared with quality ingredients and great care. Each dish tells a story, one of tradition and a love of cooking. Special praise to the waitress: kind, smiling, and always attentive to every need, just like the owners, who are welcoming and helpful. We visited today for the first time and were truly impressed. We'll definitely be back: a place like this deserves to be discovered and is highly recommended to anyone seeking authentic flavors and a family atmosphere: BRAVISSIMI!! You really feel right at home.

07/07/2025: Terrible experience. Rude arrogant owner.

29/07/2025: Restaurant on Malfa's main street. Traditional dishes revisited with seafood. I recommend the double-cooked octopus, simply wonderful. The service and kindness of the staff were also excellent. When we asked for the shrimp dish, after pointing out that two were missing, they brought them immediately and offered us a Malvasia wine to apologize. The desserts are also excellent; I recommend the tiramisu and the deconstructed cannoli. If you happen to be in Malfa, you absolutely must stop by.

27/07/2025: I can highly recommend this restaurant on Via Roma. I would visit it again anytime. It's a pleasant place.

09/06/2025: Top raw materials and preparation. The result is tasty and decisive dishes. Well done to everyone from the kitchen to the service.

03/06/2025: Definitely the best restaurant in Lipari. The quality of the raw materials, the wisdom in the preparation of the dishes, the innovation in the combinations of the ingredients, make OSTERIA LIPAROTA our point of reference during the short holiday in Lipari. The courtesy, the kindness, the professionalism of Francesco, the owner, and his collaborators highlight that the restaurant cannot be improvised but is the result of a hard and constant professional commitment. The quality-price ratio is right. The possible use of the bib that is offered to you at the beginning of the dinner is also nice and convivial. I was the first this year, in the Summer of 2025, to wear it and it was absolutely not a bad idea. Loving your job is reflected in the attention to detail. GOOD portions and very respectable waiting time. The bill aligned with the quality offered. Finally a restaurant worthy of the name, pride of the Aeolian culinary tradition.. In MAIORA

10/08/2025: It's a must-see when we're in those parts, excellent pistachio ice cream, never tasted anything like it, but the highlight for me is always the diplomatico, delicious.

02/08/2025: Lately, the atmosphere has been lost, with everyone visibly nervous and rude (especially the one who complains in front of customers about other employees who, he says, aren't working well, which is unprofessional and should never be done; but overall, there's a lack of kindness, tense faces, nervous gestures). The excellent specialties are worth the visit, but people also go to a bar to find a good mood and relaxation; if I enter with a smile and leave feeling bad, something hasn't worked. I hope to find a better atmosphere next time. Edit: I even tried to be polite, avoiding pointing out certain things, but the owner's response gives away his attitude toward customers.

23/07/2025: A clean, tidy, and above all well-kept venue, from the interior dining room to the magnificent garden, spacious enough to celebrate any occasion. Efficient service and friendly staff cater to every request, just what every restaurant should offer. I went with friends and we had a great time: fresh, well-cooked fish, excellent pizza, all delivered very quickly. Satisfied friends, no exceptions! We'll definitely be back!

20/07/2025: Excellent food, average prices, fairly quick service, and friendly staff. The swordfish Messina-style was very good. Recommended!

14/07/2025: A lovely, quiet place, a bit small but well-decorated and functional. You don't feel the pressure of the next table, but there's plenty of room; it's best to call and reserve. The service is impeccable, and the owner gives a thorough overview of the food, helping you appreciate the range, from its production or provenance to its preparation. The food is truly good, and for those who aren't big eaters, the seafood appetizer might be enough to leave satisfied. I also enjoyed the mixed fried fish, which was perfect and without the strong smell of fried food, which means using good oil and changing it often. Go and review it.

12/07/2025: Eccellenti i piatti, serviti da personale molto professionale, che ti segue con grande gentilezza, senza mai essere invadente. Nota piacevolissima: due musicisti deliziosi, per una serata con musica dal vivo Ritorneremo!

26/06/2025: Family-run, neighborhood restaurant frequented by locals. Friendly. Excellent chili pasta and lemon sorbet. Simple but decent bruschetta.

18/06/2025: A fantastic pizzeria in the center of Milazzo, with excellent quality, thin and crispy. Excellent service, Alice was very kind to us. Alex and Laura

01/08/2025: Excellent beach, quiet location, and stunning coastline. Fantastic hospitality and exceptional cuisine.

21/07/2025: The place is wonderful, not very big, easy to find, I spent a wonderful day, I tried their restaurant and I can say with extreme sincerity that the raw materials are very fresh and that in the hands of their chef they become an unforgettable culinary experience.

02/08/2025: Before boarding, I always come here for lunch with my dad. The welcome, the staff, and the food are truly tasty and authentic.

30/07/2025: Everything is very good with excellent value for money.
