I migliori ristoranti in Messina

28/10/2025: The food and courtesy were exceptional, as were the view and the location.

21/10/2025: Excellent seafood restaurant, chosen on the recommendation of the person who took us to Salina from Lipari (Popolo Giallo). Their calamari with Malvasia wine was spectacular, and the fried fish was heavenly.

08/03/2026: Excellent service. Delicious pizza. Friendly owner and staff.

22/02/2026: Fantastic food, would eat there every day if I could :-)

31/01/2026: Love craft beers? Well, this is the place! Think beers are just "blondes, reds, and darks"? This is the perfect place to expand your horizons. Led by Angelo and his staff, you'll be catapulted into a world of new flavors and discover that the world of beer isn't tri-colored; it's actually an explosive universe of flavors and aromas, reminiscent of other places and times. Beer Bang offers a wide and varied selection of craft beers to go and up to six types of draft beer (don't get attached to a beer: you'll soon be sold out... monogamy and beer don't mix) and tasty sandwiches and tramezzini to accompany them. If you like beer, you won't be able to do without it. Advice for newbies: NEVER ask for beer without foam ;)

31/12/2025: Warm and welcoming. The beer is indescribable and the food is also excellent! Great hangout with friends!

07/12/2025: I was truly impressed by this restaurant: a charming, elegant place with attention to every detail. The atmosphere is refined yet welcoming, perfect for a special dinner. A special thanks goes to Gilbert, the waiter who looked after us with great professionalism and courtesy. Extremely kind, knowledgeable, and always available, he expertly guided us through the wine selection, suggesting perfect pairings with each course. His passion and attention to detail made the experience even more enjoyable. The quality of the food is excellent: fresh ingredients, carefully crafted dishes, and balanced flavors. The portions are perfectly designed: you arrive at the end of the meal feeling full but not weighed down, with the feeling of having savored each course to perfection. The price is absolutely in line with the quality offered; in fact, considering the attentive service and the high quality of the cuisine, it's even reasonable. I highly recommend this restaurant: a true gastronomic experience, worth trying again and again! Congratulations to all the staff, especially Gilbert, who made the evening unforgettable. 🍽️✨

30/11/2025: An experience definitely worth repeating. The choice of ingredients, the attention to detail, and the expertise in the preparation lead to an outcome that can only be excellent. Every single flavor is well-balanced and perfectly paired. The dishes are a succession of taste and refinement. The staff is friendly and knowledgeable. The service is attentive and courteous. There's a plan. You can see it, and above all, taste it, with every bite. Recommended.

01/10/2025: Spectacular almond paste!!! Almond granita, very good!

08/09/2025: Beyond the undeniably excellent quality and flavor, it's worth noting the owner's kindness and patience in satisfying every customer's needs... even the most demanding ones! Highly recommended!

18/03/2026: Some of the staff are not trained enough in kindness and courtesy, they should take a course on how to treat customers.

08/03/2026: Unfortunately if you go around 8pm you can't find almost anything and you have to wait an hour to be able to eat, that's what they told us last night when on the counter there was only a pistachio pizza and some arancini and we left.

08/01/2026: One of the best places we've eaten, we felt right at home, tasty food and a relaxing atmosphere, Mrs. Maria and the waiter were two exquisite people... if we return to Messina it will be our regular stop... highly recommended if you want to eat like at home

01/12/2025: What a delightful setting with amazing food and great service.

30/11/2025: Good food and very friendly staff. Perhaps the bill could have been a little lighter, since drinks aren't included in the menu; for three people, it easily costs over €120.

29/10/2025: A good-quality trattoria. Reasonable prices. Informal and welcoming atmosphere.

09/02/2026: My wife and I dined here while on vacation. The setting is absolutely lovely on the steps. The food — while not innovative or unique — was perfectly cooked and tasty. I would normally have given this place 5 stars were it not for the obnoxious service. I asked the server for two glasses of red wine to try before choosing one. There was no list of wines by the glass (mind you), so it was not clear how many total wines there were by the glass. Or if a wine by the glass list existed, it wasn’t presented to us. The server brought out the glasses, but I didn’t care for either so I asked if there was maybe a 3rd I could try. That’s when — in the most condescending manner I’ve ever experienced from a waiter in my life — they scoffed and laughed at me saying “in Sicily there are only two types of red wine.” Translation: “you idiot…why are you bothering me with such dumb requests.” I was so astonished and rattled at how they mocked me that I had to excuse myself from the table and go to the bathroom to take a pause. When I came out of the bathroom I was visibly shaken that the owner came up to me to ask what was wrong. I told him what happened and asked for a new server. The owner — a truly gracious soul whose wife was about to give birth any day — offered to be our server for the night. While the owner did his best to rectify the situation, the evening had already been ruined. I would’ve given 1 star had it not been for the kindhearted owner who understood the importance of service relative to the high prices they charge. While this happened maybe 9-10 months ago, it still pops into my mind from time to time. I’m writing this bad review for my own personal closure so I can stop thinking about how mistreated I was, and to warn the owner that others will leave bad reviews if they keep that obnoxious waiter on staff. And, for the record, their staff should be educated on Sicilian wine better. While there are indeed two main red varietals Sicily is famous for, there are plenty more that are grown in Sicily. So they mocked me for not knowing something that they were completely wrong about. How ironic.

24/01/2026: Program not updated. It is closed.

24/10/2025: Epic pizza spot right on the beach. Pizza is so fast so affordable and darn near perfect! Margarita pizza was a 9.6/10 in my book. All so nice wait staff plus the location is top notch raw tuna was amazing and the beer was cold I highly recommend you watch the sunset here eat a pizza and drink some beer. Also right next to beach grab a €7 pizza to go then head to the beach .

18/10/2025: I had occasion to eat a plate of pasta, delicious

19/10/2025: Everything was good, from the pizza to the service.

19/10/2025: Very good pizza, super good, very soft, very kind staff, pleasant atmosphere, I will definitely be back

23/01/2026: Excellent, I often go there with my family. Very clean place, very clean open kitchen. I recommend both lunch and dinner. Excellent first courses. In the evening, the burger restaurant is excellent. Everything is high quality, congratulations 💪

23/01/2026: I stumbled upon this place by chance and will definitely be back. Highly recommended!!!

18/10/2025: Very friendly and delicious. Even in October, outside of peak season. We had swordfish and grouper, both extremely fresh and well-prepared. The dessert was also a delight.

18/10/2025: Fantastic, fresh food paired with super-friendly staff. We'll be back!!

29/10/2025: We visited in October. Fresh food, very friendly service, and for five main courses and drinks we paid around 80 euros. The views were stunning while dining. Highly recommended!

24/10/2025: For me, the best beach in Tropea! Exceptional hospitality, truly delicious food, and a dream beach. My favorite place! Always kind and helpful, even in the low season. Can't wait to see you again in 2026! 🌴❤️

28/02/2026: A charming location with a sea-view dining room. Excellent food and cuisine. We witnessed the cutting of a very fresh, freshly caught tuna. Compliments to everyone, from the staff to the kitchen. Highly recommended.

14/01/2026: Very welcoming place, very welcoming and kind staff and above all very professional, worth visiting to taste the various menus that are offered
