I migliori ristoranti in Messina

15/08/2025: The staff are friendly, the fresh pasta and tiramisu are excellent. Fresh, high-quality products!

07/08/2025: After two weeks in Taormina, we discovered this hidden gem on our last day and what a wonderful surprise! The warm, welcoming atmosphere created by the kind family who runs the place made us feel right at home. The food was exactly what we needed: comforting and full of flavor. The vegetable soup was absolutely delicious, the lamb cotoletta was tender and perfectly cooked, and the tagliatelle and swordfish rolls were just fantastic. On top of all that, the prices were the best we found in Taormina — great quality without the tourist mark-up. I only wish we had found this place sooner! Highly recommended.

We were particularly impressed by the pasta and the classic Italian specialties – honest flavors, high-quality ingredients, and perfect balance. The service was friendly, attentive, and welcoming, making you feel at home from the moment you arrive. The ambiance invites you to relax and enjoy the evening, simply unwinding. A place you'll gladly recommend and return to yourself.

11/01/2026: I had the opportunity to dine here for New Year's Eve. The scallops were excellent, the rest was pretty average.

28/09/2025: Enchanting place, wonderful dinner with products of their own production. But above all the owners Cherubina, Giacomo, and their two daughters are exceptional people like few others today, always available and make you feel like real family.

21/09/2025: So many things can be said about agriturismo l'uliveto but for me 'coming home' sums up what staying here feels like. A truly family owned working farm, you can see the owners working hard from before 5 am until 11 at night if not later. The hosts, Giacomo and Cherubina are always at your disposal and if you ever need anything they'll do all they can to accommodate you and make your stay as great as it can be. When we arrived we were instantly swept away by the beauty of the farm, the olive trees, hundreds of years old scattered everywhere are definitely the main features, but nestled in between the sea of olive trees are, lemon, mandarin,nespola trees you can also spot the grapes, tomatoes, the herbs, and countless beautiful flowers scattered around. One thing to have in mind is Don't expect a 4-5 star hotel, we stayed in the room called "Limoneto" the room was quite basic but was big enough for a family of 4. The room was complete with a cooker and sink that is big enough to Cook a small meal and with a bathroom with a shower. The sleeping arrangements were a double bed for the adults and a sofa bed for the kids. However the room offered a piece of magic, the little courtyard. Having lunch outside under the shade of the umbrella with the most amazing views over the Sicilian mountainous rugged terrain was breathtaking. Another area where l'uliveto excels is with the eating. There's one dinning room where all guests have their meals and it always felt spacious and comfortable. Almost all the produce used comes from the farm, the eggs, the fruit, the hams, honey, olives, olive oil, etc, etc,etc. Breakfast was amazing, everyday Cherubina came out with her amazing cakes, fresh fruit which were mainly figs as this was what's in season, but not like the figs we buy in a supermarket, amazing tasting figs. We had also a basket of bread to go with a choice of jams, orange, lemon, fig, peach, etc. All homemade. Great coffee, I drink espresso, and their coffee was one of the best I've had, even across Italy. Always too much for us, however, we'd be offered a sheet of aluminium foil to take any of the leftovers with us. Diner which was often served at 8 for most guests was equally delicious, you would start with the primo, which consisted of a pasta dish. Homemade pasta mostly, and with a variety of sausages, yes, using their products. I will never forget the spaghetti with courgette pasta. The secondo consisted of a meat dish with various delicious sides, made from ingredients picked that day. Fagiolini, tomatoes, courgettes in many ways, salads, etc. anything that was ready to be picked, it would usually end up on our tables same day. The meat was mainly chicken or pork and always very flavoursome however the roasted wild boar was out of this world. The swimming pool was great, the times we used it it was quiet and clean and just like the rest of the farm it offered breathtaking views. All this said, words can't describe how welcoming Giacomo, Cherubina and family make you feel. The two weeks we spent at the Agriturismo l'uliveto we felt at home all credit to this hard working, kind family running one of the most authentic places we've visited. We can't wait to return here with the rest of our family as I am sure they'll fall in love with l'uliveto Just like we did.

19/02/2026: These guys are amazing. The vegan options are outstanding and the service is top notch too.

04/01/2026: Cafeteria with very good products and a great variety

20/10/2025: Beautiful place, unique and original, a piano at the entrance with a pianist to give a touch of exclusivity, even if not everyone may like eating with music that drowns out your conversation with the diners, we had pizzas with bruschetta and mixed fried food, good pizzas (not exceptional) and expensive, bruschetta good and expensive, chips poor, salty and expensive, it was Saturday, the place was full but not very full but before they served us the pizzas we waited too long, anyway pleasant evening, the important thing is to be in good company

14/10/2025: Excellent pizza and attentive service. The menu is a bit confusing, but the combination of quotes and art in general is much appreciated. Quiet place.

03/03/2026: Nice, clean, and pleasant place. The person who served us was polite, professional, and friendly; you could tell he loves his job. Excellent food. Congratulations.

03/03/2026: Highly recommend this restaurant. The local seafood was delicious and the staff were helpful with recommendations.

04/10/2025: Short and to the point. It's delicious and affordable.

02/10/2025: The three stars are only for the arranchinis. We ordered coca cola zero and they gave us something else that they called “sicilian coca cola zero”. They didn’t tell us for that thing as we were talking to be bottled and to take it to go.

18/02/2026: Everything was excellent, from the bread to the breakfast, to the granitas and especially the focaccia.

26/10/2025: A wonderful experience at this establishment. We ate lunch there after arriving from the boat and returned in the evening because we were delighted. The pane cunzato is exceptional and the lady who runs the restaurant is super nice; she made a real effort to chat with us, who are beginners in Italian.

25/10/2025: A relaxing moment in a very pleasant setting, great authentic cuisine!
