I migliori ristoranti in Messina

18/10/2025: I recently visited Lipari with a group of friends from Verona through Le Isole d'Italia tour operator, and all our dinners were organized at Ristorante Il Corallo. The owner, Laura, along with her husband, the chef, and their staff delighted our palates by preparing seafood and other dishes from the menu. They also fulfilled all our wishes, preparing special dishes (such as arancini—delicious). Everything was excellent and plentiful. Thank you.

15/10/2025: We came here for dinner every night during our stay in Lipari. Great food and very friendly service!

26/11/2025: Welcoming place, very kind staff, truly exquisite food, excellent quality meat menu, good price, congratulations

26/11/2025: After years of wandering, I've finally found a place worthy of a new food and wine review here, in my native Sicily, and by completely random chance, in what seemed like a classic case of chance and luck. The map, and a completely random journey, lead us on this free day to Santa Lucia del Mela, a typical and characteristic Sicilian hilltop village, like many you'd find, with a dry riverbed alongside it, numerous churches towering over the town, and a castle-turned-monastery dominating the fertile Milazzo area. If the fresh mountain air and the view stretching across the Aeolian Islands, the cape, and the sea are enough to make you stop here, along with a characteristic sanctuary dedicated to Santa Maria della Neve, the restaurant is what we'll be talking about, and here too, it's the result of complete chance. When we asked for our first recommendation, we discovered that the place we were initially recommended was installing a new kitchen, so it would be open in the evenings. We asked for a second place, which turned out to be closed for renovations as well. The waiter, with great humility and kindness, directed us to a third place just outside town, a B&B/trattoria/pizzeria called "La Pergola." The atmosphere is what you'd expect from a place that's a mix between agritourism and a B&B: rustic, beautiful, and elegant. The trattoria's interior is also impressive, combining a solid, white, and clean structure with reminders of ancient Sicilian farming traditions, from the exposed tools to the "lamps," a meticulously crafted blend of wood and white. The staff is extremely kind and friendly, in a family-run atmosphere where you almost feel more like a guest than a customer, but... it's about the food. First piece of advice: don't overestimate your skills. When we talk about generous portions, we're talking about true abundance, the typical Sicilian kind, and even a person, no matter how good of a eater, struggles to eat the recommended appetizer and first course or appetizer and second course. There's a reason the waitress recommends these two options. Don't overdo it; it's impossible to eat appetizer, first course, and second course. Second: enjoy the meal to the fullest, without cell phones or anything else, because it's an experience worth living and savoring, a gastronomic journey to be savored. High-quality, seasonal food, cooked by expert hands that instill love in every single dish, turning simple ingredients into works of art—not the "gourmet" kind, reduced to flavors of other things, but true works of art, the kind you remember your grandmothers making. While I also recommend the first courses, and while every dish is highly worthy, the ravioli in particular deserve an honorable mention and will likely be the focus of my next visit, my gold medal goes to the sweet and sour rabbit, with its smooth, exquisite flavor that almost melts in your mouth. A blend of flavors makes it a heavenly experience, unparalleled, a unique, wild, and transcendental taste, prepared according to tradition. If you find yourself touring Sicily, perhaps on your way to the Aeolian Islands, or if you're passing near Milazzo, stop by this B&B and visit them. You'll thank me.

23/11/2025: We stayed in Giardini Naxos for 6 nights and ate here twice. I wish we had eaten here more. Fabulous food. Pastas & pizzas. Wonderful service and they went out of their way to cater to my fussy teenager. Such reasonable prices. Highly recommended.

25/10/2025: Not a bad restaurant. Excellent location, on a quiet street next to an archaeological park. Very good service. The food isn't bad, but it's still average.

11/10/2025: Cannoli aren't just delicious...they go beyond that!!!!

28/09/2025: Excellent products, very kind and professional staff....

11/11/2025: Very friendly staff, we didn’t speak the same language, but we understood each other. Food is so delicious, I think the best cous-cous salad ever!

02/10/2025: We grabbed two sandwiches at Stuzzikosa in the morning before our boat ride to Lipari. It is conveniently located about 3 blocks from the ferry dock. The two people that helped us were extremely friendly and were patient with our "broken" Italian and spoke to us in English. The sandwiches had very good meat, cheese, and fresh components. The cost was super reasonable (4.50 Euro each) and the sandwich was more than filling. I ordered the Pizzicoso and was very happy with my choice. I am definitely considering stopping at Stuzzikosa on the return trip from Lipari. This has been the best sandwich I have had in my two weeks in Italy!

06/10/2025: Super friendly service. The ladies are attentive and friendly, despite the large number of customers. The ice cream is incredibly delicious. The best I've had in Sicily so far. The cakes look delicious and are a popular item there. I tried the tiramisu, which was very good.

20/07/2025: Simply top!!! I'm only sorry I discovered it so recently!! Amazing ice cream and pastry shop!! 😋😍

21/10/2025: The best pizza ever! It was a humid October evening (last night:) when I stepped into La Napoletana pizzeria, without much expectation. TAORMINA is a beautiful place but 100% touristic. What I tasted here... a NEBRODI pizza and another pizza with pesto... delicious! I looked around me, all tourists from different countries, of different ages and conditions! But we all ate from the same plate:)) Congratulations!

20/10/2025: I recommend visiting this restaurant! The food is delicious, the prices are reasonable, the atmosphere is great! Depending on what you want to order, the prices per person range from 10 to 30€.

05/11/2025: Amazing place and selicious food

05/11/2025: Had a lovely meal here. Delicious seafood pasta. Service was excellent. I had a server named Andrea, and they brought a little limoncello on the house. Would return!

30/10/2025: Great food with seating out on the sea front as well as the square next to it with shade under the trees. Food was great. Good service. The only thing was ordering seafood pasta I would prefer I didn't have to spend 10 minutes deshelling I would prefer the chef do that rather than me.

26/10/2025: We stopped for lunch, excellent food, good service and fair prices, absolutely recommended.

27/11/2025: I cant leave review on their food as the restaurant was closed, the resturant hasn't bothered to update their Google operating hours.. we have travelled from Taormina thinking to check the beautiful view enjoy good after, but we were left disappointed. We understand that it is off season times ( end of Nov 2025) but at least they should have made an update as there are still people travelling.

25/11/2025: A must! stunning location, homemade authentic Italian 🇮🇹 food - don’t hesitate! best food on that rock 💫

14/11/2025: The parmigiana and various side dishes were exceptional, not to mention the pistachio granita I had for dessert. Everything was delicious.

22/10/2025: Excellent granita and really good brioches

17/10/2025: Where you think it's just a dream, it's actually reality. Villa Alba, the tree houses, is a truly splendid place. It feels like a fairytale, the breathtaking sunsets change the scenery every time, all it takes is a cloud and everything takes on a different shape. The kindness and helpfulness... is immense. I've had contact with Mrs. Tiziana, who is extremely kind, courteous, and available, even to grant unexpected wishes. I'm absolutely in love with this place. Highly recommended.

14/10/2025: This is the second time we've been guests at an event at this location... the first was for a wedding, where I was blown away by the beauty and meticulous care of the gardens that served as the backdrop. Eight years later, for a baptism, I noticed that the attention to detail and the location haven't changed (perhaps improved). Everything was perfect, the staff was friendly and attentive. My expectations for the food were high, but they were fully met. What can I say? Overall, in my opinion, Villa Alba is the best place for events and ceremonies right now. Congratulations

24/10/2025: A large selection of truly delicious sandwiches. Cozy and well-located. A definite must!

22/10/2025: Excellent value for money for a tourist destination. The food is delicious.

07/12/2025: I visited Tratoria Rapisardi yesterday. It's a wonderful family atmosphere. The young owner is a fantastic guy.

01/12/2025: Entering Trattoria Rapisardi was like stepping into the past: a past made of authentic flavors, genuine aromas, and family-style recipes. Chef Andrea Gentile perfectly embodies this philosophy: simplicity, passion, and a smile ready to describe each dish as if it were a little journey into the most authentic Sicily.

03/12/2025: Delicious pizza!! Super friendly staff and fabulous pizza Very welcoming place, perfect for an evening with friends Highly recommended

03/12/2025: Very pleasant experience and very good pizza! I had the zuccola and the dough was very light. I highly recommend it🫶🏻
