I migliori ristoranti in Messina

02/04/2024: I think that good intentions should be rewarded, which is why I rate this place positively, one of the very few vegan alternatives in the city. In any case, I struggle to tolerate the lack of sincerity in the face of the collaborator's statement "everything you see here, vegan, we make", when, in reality, the products come from the Forno D'Asolo in Treviso and are frozen... you can feel that they are, and there is nothing wrong with admitting it, I know very well that there is still little demand in the south. I've been vegan for a while, I live in the north, I travel and I know those croissants, as well as their fillings, some unmistakable (e.g. raspberry and elderberry, figs and almonds), precisely because that bakery distributes most of the bars everywhere in Italy. You can count on the fingers of one hand the pastry shops and bars that produce vegan desserts with their own hands, but you can definitely feel the difference. I feel like responding to the owner regarding a comment he made to a user who expressed doubts about the cost of his ice cream: in Milan, my city of origin and where I live, a small cup or cone with 2 flavors costs from 3, €50 to €4 (with ice cream inside, eh!), and personally I'm happy to spend it if the ice cream is good, even more so if it's vegan :) it's absolutely not true that the food here isn't as good as that of the south , fueling this rift that we have carried with us for too long... we are all citizens of a beautiful country. In my 'metropolis' there are amazing vegan ice cream shops, which make delicious artisanal ice cream and many different flavours, just as there are some in Catania too. There are pastry shops that use excellent raw materials to produce their own vegan croissants, while not offering frozen products and trying to be proactive. I hope this feedback can stimulate you to try producing your own croissants with the wonderful raw materials of your land.

30/03/2024: Small bar with seating on the pavement in front. Table service is fast and free. The granitas and ice creams are good.

10/05/2024: The place must have changed owners.

07/05/2024: Nice little restaurant with delicious food.

02/04/2024: We ate the ones shown in the picture. All the dishes are tasty and delicious, although the parmigiana is too tomato-like for me. - The Palermo version was better, but it is made this way here. Waiters are nice, the restaurant is almost full by 9.

02/04/2024: Our most amazing culinary experience in Sicily. Truly tasty pizzas, cheesecake is 10/10. Sincerely recommended.

06/04/2024: Might have been the best pasta I’ve had.. the linguine dish was so fresh & briney and brought out the sweetness of the Manzara red prawn tartare. Pistachio pan a cotta was also delicious! Georgia was my server, she was very friendly and sweet!

05/04/2024: A very nice place, we have enjoyed it very much. We were a party of 10 and we all liked the restaurant. Delicious food, kind service. Especially the veal, linguine, calamari were perfect. For dessert; We have enjoyed the tiramisu, panna cotta and cannoli, they were all very good. Highly recommend this place. We are looking forward to come back.

29/03/2024: I am celiac and they have been very careful with cross contamination. They had gluten free cones

20/03/2024: I entered this well-stocked ice cream shop looking for some dessert. I was offered some super inviting looking parfaits and I decided to try them! Really delicious!! And what's more, the ones I chose are entirely gluten-free... The girl who served me was extremely helpful and extremely kind and this always makes a big difference when choosing my restaurants or shops!! I will definitely be back... Excellent!!

31/03/2024: Indiscutivelmente il migliore cannoli di Taormina,la signora gentilissima. siete bravissimi . “Un cuore per te”. Ci ritorneremo.

25/03/2024: Great place if you want to eat something with pistachio. The Granita con brioche was amazing. The brioche was very fresh and the staff was very friendly. Also the prices were extremely good for such venue in a touristy part of Taormina. They also sell great wine.

06/04/2024: A pleasant place to spend an evening, the place is not large, but the pizza is amazing, I would add that it is the best pizzeria in Messina

05/04/2024: Nice location. Welcoming staff and excellent wines

06/04/2024: A special place, very quiet and cozy. The very attentive owner makes you feel at home. Food of excellent quality.

27/03/2024: My husband and I went to this place for my birthday dinner and I must say that we were positively impressed by both the service (Matteo if I'm not mistaken) and the food. We divided a fodueta into 2 (too liquid in my opinion) A really good pistachio and saffron risotto. My husband a decent picaña. I (mistakenly) had the kangaroo, never tried and absolutely not liked it, I didn't eat it and rightly had to pay for it. To blow out the candles we ordered a really good brownie which was kindly offered to us together with the bitters.

02/04/2024: We really enjoyed the beautiful food and hospitality experience. Recommended and we will return

02/04/2024: Excellent restaurant in the pleasant town of San Marco d'Alunzio! All the dishes are delicious, from the abundant and unmissable appetizers to the desserts. They are based on traditional recipes, but have a very pleasant touch of originality. The owners and staff are very kind and welcoming and the place is very pleasant. The prices are fair compared to the quality... 5 stars!

18/03/2024: An excellent restaurant, clean, the food is excellent and the service is excellent

17/03/2024: Ottimo servizio. Organizzazione perfetta. Pulitissimo e ottima qualità del cibo Vista spettacolare. Consiglio di provare

05/02/2024: Tried it months ago. Our food and wine experience in Taormina ends in this place managed by a young team both in the kitchen and in the dining room. This freshness is perceived not only in the environment, but above all in the preparations and the ideas behind them. However, ideas alone are not enough, you need technique, study, dedication and a vast knowledge of the raw material and the versatility of the multiple uses and combinations. Well, there's all this at Modí! The wine list is very well structured and extensive, in my opinion it can only be improved in the proposed itineraries which, if more customizable, would better adapt to the dishes that are chosen. We opted for the la carte, but to put the staff in difficulty, I also asked for a dish that wasn't available à la carte, but only on the tasting menu (that's not true! I only did it for pleasure!!). The staff handled the request perfectly and professionally. As an entree offered by the house, they are served, placed on the fingers of a ceramic hand, cod balls fried with lemon, fake cherry tomatoes stuffed with tomato puree and, on the palm of the "oriental butter", which reminded us of more Moroccan, with turmeric, curry, paprika, lime and chilli. In my opinion, given the continuation of the dinner which showcased the chef's hand, this offer can be improved. Scenographically fantastic. Accompanying wine is an excellent Etna Bianco di Terra Costantino. Followed by a dish that we will remember for a long time: Carnaroli risotto with citrus fruits, flakes of scampi and caviar. Delicate dish, very centered, harmonious in all its ingredients with scampi that literally melt in your mouth. A worthy accompaniment is a Donnafugata rosé made from 100% Nerello Mascalese grapes. We continue with the seaweed tartare, foie gras granita and burrata for me, while my partner took a slice of tuna with different consistencies of onions (foam, cream). Both dishes were excellent. Ingenious ideas and perfect mastery of combinations. These dishes conveyed to me the great fun that the chef must have in playing with raw materials, experimenting with cooking methods and combining them with each other. Here is my "intruder": directly from the tasting menu, a pigeon, pumpkin and apple cola with its own flavored sauce, liver cream and heart. Excellent! Test passed given that pigeon is the terrain on which all great chefs compete. Paired with an Etna Rosso by Tornatore, a blend of Nerello Mascalese and Cappuccio, rapid passage in barrel. Very good. I finally closed with a tasting of Sicilian cheeses which I found a little "off" compared to the things I have tasted so far, but it is probably a little more difficult to find dairy gems in this region rich in all sorts of good things! Quite an important bill, but absolutely in line with the quality of the evening.

23/01/2024: Intimidate dining atmosphere with thoughtful dishes and warm hospitality. Probably one of the best fine dining experiences available in Taormina during the off-season. Will return again.

04/05/2024: Pizza by the meter is certainly a nice invention, if you then add the goodness of it and the friendliness you find I would say I highly recommend trying it. I will definitely go back.

16/04/2024: Pizza by the meter done very well.. excellent ingredients. . Very good. The friendliness of the dining room staff softened the somewhat long wait due to a busy table. The sorbet offered at the end confirmed the sympathy of the owners and staff. Highly recommended.

06/04/2024: Nice atmosphere, friendly staff and good suggestions for an aperitif.

01/04/2024: Excellent service, qualified staff, excellent quality, a place to definitely return to.
