I migliori ristoranti in Messina

16/03/2026: The restaurant is excellent, the chef's dishes are excellent, and the service is very good. A word of caution: the restrooms require you to go down some unprotected stairs downstairs. Furthermore, the bathrooms aren't up to par with the restaurant.

08/03/2026: We had a tasting dinner and chose the fish option (Menu Mare & Aria). The price was €130 per person, and we were served 6 courses. I’m not really a “fish person”, but the flavors truly surprised and delighted me. At the same time, some of the combinations were quite… interesting 😄 The service was 12 out of 10. I have honestly never experienced service like this before, so it really impressed me. Overall, I would rate the experience 8.5 out of 10. It’s definitely worth trying and enjoying this kind of carefully created luxury 💚 Thank you!

21/10/2025: For me, the island of Stromboli is incredibly interesting. Swimming on the pleasant black sand in the warm sea (early October) with the volcano in the background made a strong impression on me. The town of Stromboli is unique, with narrow, walled streets, along which Piaggio tricycles travel at high speeds – both for goods and passengers. The lack of cars is a charm. From the volcano's viewpoint (290 meters above sea level), you can also catch a beautiful sunset.

30/09/2025: Absolutely enchanting and romantic location. The food was okay, but the location is included in the price, so expect to pay a lot more than in Sicily.

20/12/2025: 10+++ overall congratulations 👏

16/12/2025: I'll be brief... an hour and a half to order and another hour to bring me the food... obviously I went to ask what happened to my burgers, they told me they couldn't find a table... price too high for the quality of the food and service.

07/03/2026: A truly interesting lunch, where the quality of the ingredients and attention to presentation blended perfectly. For my appetizer, I tried the tuna tartare, very fresh and well-balanced. The creaminess of the avocado and the accompanying sauces provided a perfect contrast without overpowering the flavor of the fish. It was an elegant and beautifully presented dish. Next, a truly excellent fried seafood platter: calamari, shrimp, and other seafood specialties were light and crisp, not at all greasy. The accompanying mayonnaise with wasabi rounded out the dish, making it even more flavorful and appealing. Finally, the first course of lobster and fresh pasta: a generous portion, flavorful and perfectly cooked lobster, with a rich sauce that enveloped the pasta. The presentation of the dishes and the atmosphere of the restaurant, elegant yet welcoming, were also excellent.

22/02/2026: Very nice place with attention to detail. Very friendly staff. We tried both raw and cooked fish, and the quality of the food was very high. There's also a wide selection of bottled wines. The price is reasonable for the quality. Recommended.

08/09/2025: We ate well, a large plate of pasta, well cooked, freshly made and hot, the staff were helpful, friendly and courteous, with a smile, this is what customers need, the sandwich tasted excellent and the products were fresh, we'll return and I recommend anyone passing by to stop by.

30/08/2025: The staff alone is worth a visit: they're friendly and always smiling! We discovered it on our first day of vacation and it stayed with us for the rest of our stay. The food was delicious and homemade, the arancini were the best we've ever tried (in fact, I even bought some to take home as a last resort 😭). The prices were very reasonable, and the place was quiet and relaxing, especially eating under the trees overlooking the sea!

06/01/2026: Great bar that serves excellent coffee ☕️ but the aperitifs, accompanied by various appetizers, are also excellent. The staff and owner are perfect. Well done!

06/10/2025: Friendly staff. Excellent food and service. I'll stop by Rizzo every time I return to Messina.

14/08/2025: CIS hasn't found this place yet, but here are simply the best burgers I've tried in Italy🙏🏼 use it, chmoshniks

05/08/2025: The food was nothing special, but the cocktails were out of this world.

27/07/2025: We spontaneously visited the pizzeria this evening after the restaurant we had originally planned was closed. It turned out to be a stroke of luck, as we were treated to the best pizza at Pizzeria Cappuccini. My husband and I were absolutely thrilled! The value for money is more than fair, and the dishes we chose exceeded our expectations. Add to that a truly Italian atmosphere. Five stars from us ❤️

20/07/2025: The best pizza in Siena. Very hidden if you're not actively looking for it. We stumbled upon this place because of its proximity to our hotel, and it couldn't have been more perfect. A pizzeria for locals with reasonable prices and excellent quality. We went there three times in total, and each pizza had something very special about it. The tiramisu is particularly recommended, and you should definitely try a "red pizza." All of this is a huge distraction from the fact that you're unfortunately sitting on a busy street. You still have peace and quiet.

09/02/2026: Very good restaurant, with a magnificent view, very fresh ingredients... a slightly excessive price but the view comes at a price too... and you sometimes have to put up with noisy neighbors (Italians).

18/01/2026: Very tasty food, fast service and a beautiful view!

07/02/2026: A safe bet for young people, the only one to open from 4 a.m.…

06/01/2026: Spacious and clean, with very kind and friendly staff. We ordered arancini, but we didn't like them very much. The ingredients weren't well-mixed, and the rice was a bit hard (it was a holiday). We'll try the arancini again. We ordered something else, and it was good. I recommend it.

02/04/2026: We ordered frozen yogurt 🍦 It was excellent Really nice seller

21/03/2026: Fantastic, and the sales assistant was so kind! Uniquely sweet. Recommended!

02/11/2025: The 5-star rating rewards a unique and inimitable place, where the freshness and quality of the ingredients reign supreme, from the freshest croissants to the cakes. We had breakfast with a lemon cream croissant and a custard croissant, along with a slice of the truly sublime Sant' Moritz cake. The two ladies behind the counter are very courteous, smiling, and dynamic, making this traditional gelateria on the main street a pleasant place to have breakfast or pick up one of the many sweet treats. Kudos to the pastry chef, whose professionalism and creativity make this little corner of paradise a gelato and pastry shop to remember and revisit as soon as you arrive in Messina! Highly recommended ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

30/08/2025: A beautiful place with exquisite desserts, in my opinion and that of my family, the best in Messina, undoubtedly the result of care and attention to Sicilian tradition. Extremely friendly staff. A gem on Corso Cavour. Highly recommended.

07/03/2026: Great place to stop at Castelomora. Wife had rigatonni with sausage. Was very good. I had the cuberoll di scattona con palate. Cooked very good and had a red onion basil olive oil sauce. Excellent meal. Service is good and view is beautiful from up this high on the mountain top. Highly recommend if in Castelomola.

03/11/2025: A charming place, with a beautiful panoramic view, which makes everything romantic and stunning. The food is excellent, the dishes have immense flavor and are cooked and presented with great care. The entire staff is professional, kind, and attentive to the guests and their needs. The place is also super clean, which in my opinion highlights all the positive aspects of this place even more. Highly recommended.

26/10/2025: Very polite and kind girls...excellent quality of products..

23/10/2025: Friendly staff, and very high quality, no. 1

16/11/2025: The food was good, not great. Considering quality, the prices were high. BUT, let me tell you about the music. It was BAD! Some AI generated songs from a music service called StoryBeats. Awful! The kind of generic soft pop that I'm sure will play in hell. But the nature of the music wasn't the worst part. There were four songs that played in a non-stop loop! I heard Echoes in the Fireplace and When Spring Remembers You three times each! If you have any musical taste at all, and value your sanity, avoid la Risacca.

31/10/2025: Very kind and polite staff, delicious food, beautiful location. Recommended.
