I migliori ristoranti in Messina

18/02/2026: The best ice creams! I miss the Setevelli.

27/01/2026: Every type of dessert possible, and excellent. A welcoming atmosphere and very friendly staff.

26/12/2025: A business with a friendly service approach. The products are served hot and the presentation is very nice. I recommend it.

04/12/2025: I went there a few days ago. The staff was friendly (especially the girl who greeted us with a smile and took our order). Unfortunately, I don't remember her name. Excellent food, very quick to prepare. Congratulations.

08/03/2026: Nice place, but the quality/price ratio was absolutely absurd for what we ate. The €3 cover charge and €3 per bottle of purified tap water were already a bit of a turnoff, but it's okay. The prices are clearly written on the menu, and as soon as we saw them, we wondered for a moment whether we were in Milazzo, in front of the ferry docks, or in Portofino. Prices were definitely above average. But that's okay, if the product, quality, and quantity are satisfactory, no problem; we decided to give it a try. We ordered four calamaratas (€22 per dish), a spaghetti dish with clams (€25), and a pasta dish with tomato sauce and burrata (€18), two bottles of water (€6), a bottle of wine (€25), a cover charge of €3 per person, and we had to ask for the bread ourselves. Calamarata: a giant dish, but only 80 grams of pasta inside. Each dish literally had 3-4 shelled mussels, 3-4 shelled clams, and 2 pieces of squid. Furthermore, the mussels and clams were definitely not freshly cooked because they had the consistency of pre-cooked food. Taste? Absolutely average. 22 euros for a dish like that is absolutely outrageous, really! 10-15 euros is more than fair for the quality and quantity. Spaghetti with clams: arrived later than the other dishes. And if you want to position yourself in a high price range, you can't make an 8-year-old wait while watching others eat. But that's okay, that's not the problem; they apologized, and that happens. The dish: for the first time in my life, I saw spaghetti with clams without shells, but only with shelled clams. So the question is: were they fresh and did the chef bother to shell them one by one, or was it something from a can/frozen? Because if we order 7 spaghetti with clams, I'd like to see where he finds the time to shell them one by one while other orders arrive from other tables. The question remains, of course, but 25 euros is way too much for a dish like that. Maniche with tomato sauce and burrata... 18 euros. The kid liked them, but it was 7 sleeves of pasta 🤦‍♂️ We all had bread with the pasta to fill up a bit. Final result for 5 adults and 2 children: 7 first courses, 2 bottles of water, a bottle of wine for 25 euros: 200 euros to leave the table hungry. Given the quality of the first courses, we decided not to continue at this restaurant, but to finish lunch with granita and brioche at the restaurant next door. Around €30 per person. For the same quality...I repeat...for the same quality of food we were served, in almost all of Sicily, for this price, you'd eat at least double. Because if the quality had been worth it, we definitely would have ordered a second course, despite the above-average prices. In conclusion, I don't feel comfortable recommending this place for its quality/quantity/price ratio.

26/11/2025: Excellent restaurant, excellent seafood, and very friendly staff. My wife and I arrived without a reservation, but luckily there was room. We ate deliciously overlooking the harbor. Recommended.

07/11/2025: Very good granita and good everything else with reasonable prices

30/10/2025: I just got a small onion from the diner... it wasn't bad, but I'll have to try it again...

25/12/2025: If we could give a sixth star for the service and atmosphere, we would. Massimiliano's welcome, going above and beyond to find solutions for us, even on Christmas Eve, is fabulous and warm. Thank you for these wonderful memories!

12/11/2025: "Where's the Calamari?" My friend asked me when we ordered the Calamari pasta. This is the best way I can sum up our visit to Ingrid. For €18 it was terrible value and student quality food with barely any Calamari. The waiter told us there was no menu, which I found quite strange, felt like a way to invent a price on the spot and see if people will pay it. Left with with bad vibes from this place. Should have trusted my initial instinct, don't really get the good reviews.

31/12/2025: is terrible, the food have no taste or taste bad. is expensive and 4€ only for the fork and the knife.

30/12/2025: Food was average, we got a fish from the specials which was a bit rubbery and the potatoes for garnish were just raw. Sea food pasta with clams and zucchini and mint was kind of ok.

08/03/2026: We went on Women's Day and ordered two pizzas, two coffees, and a dessert. They were really good, especially the dessert. Overall, the cooking time was just right, and the atmosphere was relaxed and pleasant. The place is really cute.

03/02/2026: Very friendly atmosphere. Extremely kind and friendly staff. I'm pleased to report, contrary to what other customers have said, that the staff was EXTREMELY EFFICIENT, including the foreigner who struggled to speak our language, but he made himself understood...in fact, he even joked with us. We were impressed by the speed and courtesy of the wait staff, who, despite their small number and the place being almost full, served us quickly and ALWAYS with a smile. I therefore deduce that whoever complained about this has no respect for the work of these poor people. Worth mentioning are the excellent pitoni and an excellent focaccia, notable for its crispiness and excellent toppings. It's not the classic Messina focaccia; it's a reinterpretation of the dough. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED...

28/11/2025: Impossibile dare meno di 5 stelle ai meravigliosi gestori del Taboo Bar pizzeria Pub

28/09/2025: Great welcome, very good pizza too, but you absolutely have to try the lovely plate of pasta alla carbonara. Pour une très bonne pizza mais aussi les pâtes à la carbonara! Il faut y aller !

13/09/2025: Excellent products and very kind staff

20/08/2025: You eat really well, highly recommended!!!

06/12/2025: The off-menu pizza is delicious. The Carbonara is a must-try 👍

03/12/2025: A truly positive experience at this pizzeria, whose hallmarks are hospitality, kindness, and deliciousness. Let us recommend the pizzas off the menu: they're amazing, and they're still good.

30/11/2025: It's been a few years, but I still remember it being a beautiful location and that the calzone was excellent. I hope to come back again soon!

10/11/2025: We had a delicious pizza for lunch on the beach! With a bottle of wine. Everything they give you on the beach is plastic. The restaurant has a wider menu and better service. But I still recommend it. The guys are amazing! They never stop, serving everyone with the best attitude. We had a wonderful time!

08/11/2025: Stopped in for a bottle of local wine and walked out with 3! Did not realize this was also a tasting room and got to try several wines. The sales woman was extremely knowledgeable and engaging.

22/10/2025: I bought two bottles of gin online, which arrived well packaged and at a great price. I saw many other interesting and less commercial products that I'll be evaluating soon. Well done!

11/02/2026: Excellent pastry shop and good breakfasts too... recommended

02/02/2026: Aesthetically, there is the option of sitting outside or inside, the rotisserie is good, pizza and pitoni, unfortunately the dessert needs to be revised.

23/12/2025: The place is well structured, the staff is generous, especially the waiter who is also handsome, the pizzas are fabulous, compliments, I would return.

23/12/2025: An experience worth trying, a reliable and easy-to-find place, a magnificent location, and tasty food. Definitely worth returning, the waiters were friendly, polite, and quick, just like the preparation time. Five of us, with just pizzas, had our fill of hearty, envious food here. I encourage everyone to go.

04/01/2026: Terrible experience. Bad food, difficult to identify the recipe and ingredients, and very expensive. The only place we've eaten badly after a week in Naples and another in Sicily. The waiters were friendly, but the food was very bad, and the price was exorbitant. They brought us what was supposed to be pasta "a lla norma," but it was clearly "alli pesto," and from a jar. I don't recommend it.

20/12/2025: Don’t bother with bad reviews from Americans or Germans who don’t know nothing about food. Food is great here
