I migliori ristoranti in Messina

13/06/2025: my first time at this place and I have to say I was really impressed. I had heard good things about it, but my expectations were far exceeded. As soon as I entered, the environment made a good impression on me: modern, clean and welcoming, the staff was very kind right from the start, ready to explain the menu and advise me on what to try. I really recommend it.

11/10/2025: The view is amazing, but the quality comparing with the price is a disappointment. I don’t recomend at all, it looks a Italian restaurant out of Italy.

01/10/2025: GREAT PASTA I WAS COMPLETELY CRYING

15/05/2025: Buona gestione e ottimi prodotti

23/04/2025: Food and service nothing short of exceptional.

16/08/2025: The best butter rolls in all of Sicily. The only downside is that you have to come early in the morning because they're so good...they sell out in the early hours. A historic bakery in the Paradiso neighborhood that I've known for at least 50 years.

12/04/2025: Mi servo abitualmente in questo panificio. Pane sempre fresco e ottimo come anche la focaccia a me piace in modo particolare quella tradizionale. Personale sempre gentile e cortese pronto a soddisfare l esigenze del cliente.

02/09/2025: Excellent trattoria! Very kind and helpful staff, simple but truly tasty dishes, and excellent pizza. The location is neat and very welcoming.

11/08/2025: The food is very good. A nice little family business. The atmosphere is very pleasant and relaxed. We had pizza and fritta di mare for dinner... Simply perfect 👍 I love restaurants like this.

16/10/2025: A pizzeria near the sea but the pizzas weren't exactly Italian.

14/10/2025: I actually just popped in here for a drink, and I also had a cannolo on the spot. It was freshly filled and tasted delicious. The staff was so nice! Thank you so much.

10/10/2025: As many others, I rarely write bad reviews and do it with genuine regret. Unfortunately, this time I have to. I made a dinner reservation for two through the restaurant’s website and also sent an email to kindly point out that their Instagram link leads to a completely unrelated profile. My email was appreciated, and my reservation was confirmed. Sergio was very professional and kind in his reply. All good so far. When we arrived at the restaurant at the reserved time, it turned out there was no reservation under my name. The restaurant was only about 20% full, so it wasn’t a problem and we were seated right away. We looked at the menu and were ready to order, but no one came. After sitting for 30 minutes, I asked one of the waitresses if someone could please take our order. She said that only the boss takes the orders. In the meantime, we were offered wine. Another 10–15 minutes passed before the “boss” finally came to our table and took our order. By that point, it had been about 45 minutes since we arrived. We also noticed that some tables who arrived later were served before us. Based on other reviews, I can agree that the restaurant seems to favor certain guests over others. We ordered a platter of fresh fish and two main dishes. The fish platter arrived without anything acidic to balance the flavors — no lemon, no vinegar, nothing. We asked one of the waiters (who seemed to also be one of the “bosses”) for some lemon or vinegar. He looked slightly annoyed and said someone would come. A few minutes later, another waiter came to ask if we wanted him to explain what was on the fish platter. We said no, we’d just like some lemon please. He still went on to explain each fish in detail, and only after that did we get our lemon slices, about 5 minutes later. The main dishes were fine, just simple and fresh, but nothing special. Perhaps the chef’s concept is to serve everything rich and fried without adding anything sour to balance it, but as a guest, I shouldn’t feel awkward asking for a bit of lemon. The number of times we had to wave or call for service was simply too much. We are not picky guests at all, but this was just a poor experience. Everything took far too long and we felt neglected. Not once did anyone come to check if everything was all right. We always had to ask for attention ourselves. And this was with the restaurant less than half full. The food was mediocre and the service, unfortunately, among the worst I have encountered. Perhaps it felt even more disappointing because I had been really looking forward to this dinner to celebrate my birthday and had such a pleasant communication with Sergio beforehand. Sorry, Sergio.

01/10/2025: Wonderful dining in a beautiful, spacious, quiet, uncrowded courtyard right in the midst of Taormina.

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.

28/09/2025: Pizzeria is the best in capo for me Piazza was very good, the service was very good Price-performance ratio okay I can only recommend it gladly go back after all

26/08/2025: My wife told me the green salad was flavorful and the Norma pizza was delicious. My tomato and onion salad was delicious, and the San Martino pizza was mouthwatering. The spicy olive oil had a very balanced flavor. The owner/pizzericcio came out personally to check on it. This was the best pizza I've ever eaten in Italy, without exaggeration, and a great dining experience too.

02/09/2025: Delicious Sicilian granita!! The best!

31/08/2025: What can I say about the top service and granita?

25/09/2025: I landed in Flanagans as a hungry passing tourist and I couldnt speak highly enough of their pleasant and professional staff their delicious food and comfortable seating set in an interesting historical antique style .I wil be bach as Arnie said in his composers film.

26/08/2025: Friendly, nice, and excellent service

06/08/2025: A very simple and spartanly decorated restaurant. The pasta was sensational. I chose the carbonara. I've eaten a lot and have eaten in many corners of the world, but the carbonara was simply the best I've ever had, simply a delight!!! Unfortunately, I didn't get a chance to take a picture, it was gone so quickly 😂😅😋 I also got to try a few other things, all of which were a feast for the palate!!! Thanks to the owner, Luccio, and also to Luca for showing me the restaurant 🙏🙏🙏

24/07/2025: Fantastic menu, traditional dishes, fair prices!

28/09/2025: A wonderful place to stay! Very safe and quiet, perfect for relaxation. The terrace offers a stunning view of Mount Etna, which is truly impressive. The host was incredibly helpful and kind – he treated us to local sweets, as well as homemade limoncello and wine, which was a wonderful gesture of hospitality. The rooms are clean, cozy, and well-equipped. An additional advantage is the large, very clean swimming pool, perfect for relaxing on hot days. I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a unique place to stay.

31/08/2025: An ideal location for a few days as a couple or family. We stayed here only one night and really enjoyed the location, away from the noise and surrounded by ample green space. Carmelo, the owner, is a truly hospitable person and knows how to welcome his guests with a simple approach, providing cozy rooms equipped with all the comforts to ensure a pleasant stay. It's also convenient for reaching the Gole dell'Alcantara park, just a few kilometers away.
