I migliori ristoranti in Messina

19/09/2025: Unique and spectacular dishes, delicious. The place is beautiful on the seafront. We've been there several times to try all the dishes on the menu. I highly recommend it. Go there.

12/09/2025: Like every year, as soon as I arrive in Patti, I can't help but eat at Papilla. Oddly enough, it's a bar/restaurant where the food is truly excellent. Both lunch and dinner are great. I love the bruschetta; I've tried them all, the pistachio ones are a must. The arancini, the cacio e pepe ones, are excellent. For my first course, I'm sticking with the spaghetti with swordfish, lemon, and almond flakes. Delicious. The pasta alla norma, the parmigiana, and the caponata are all revisited, so if you're expecting tradition, skip them. I liked them all, too. Shoutout to Emanuele, the bartender at lunchtime, who was very friendly, as were the girls serving tables. And they're young... good luck everyone!

10/10/2025: Our very first dining experience in Italy went wonderfully. The three different pizzas we ordered we're absolutely fabulous.

13/09/2025: Good food, rich and satisfying aperitif, good service

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.

18/08/2025: Just wow........ The pastries look and taste great There is a large selection of freshly baked treats, pastries and cakes There are a few small tables where you can sit, we had a coffee there and a selection of freshly baked pastries. It was a busy spot with a constant stream of customers coming in. The staff were really friendly and helpful Probably best to get there early and avoid the rush. Would definitely go back there, if ever in Sicily again

20/09/2025: There's nothing wrong with this place, located in the historic part of Milazzo. The very kind young waiter served us impeccably. That said, waiting an hour and a half for a plate of seafood spaghetti is unacceptable. Out of respect for the people accompanying us, I didn't leave early.

10/09/2025: We stumbled upon Il Giardino di Sicilia Milazzo while looking for a place to grab dinner. It was a perfect experience! The staff is friendly and attentive, and the food is absolutely amazing! We ordered many different dishes and they even gave us a tasting portion of each dish for the table so everyone could try what the other was having. It was such a pleasant experience and i am tempted to book another flight to sicily simply to come back and eat here!

28/09/2025: I've been to this restaurant for lunch several times. I recommend it on less crowded days. The service is good, as is the food. The only flaw, in my opinion, is the quality/price ratio. Overall, I recommend it.

21/09/2025: Last night we had dinner at the Camélia, the building and view were lovely. The house wine (grilled) should be avoided (dishwasher smell in the glass and the wine was very flat and tasteless). As for the dishes... the grilled vegetables were swimming in oil, the calamari was fried with the skin on, the pizzas were dry, not to mention the long service... between the starter and the main course... an hour went by!

31/08/2025: The lighting is too harsh. Everything else is great!

24/07/2025: Unbeatable quality/price. These Sicilian pizzas are very good.

14/10/2025: Very good pizza, super friendly service, great atmosphere, close to the sea. I recommend it to everyone. I'll definitely be back. Best regards

28/09/2025: Excellent focacceria on the seafront, the inside room is a bit small!

21/08/2025: I came only for tonight, but I canceled the reservation for tomorrow to another restaurant, because I'll come back at AL PALADINO

17/08/2025: Sweet little spot in a side street. Price is affordable and worth the money. Food is what you would expect from an Italian restaurant. Full of flavours and nicely dressed. Bartenders are friendly and helpfull. See you tomorrow 🥰

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 !

03/09/2025: Small, local pub in Francavilla di Sicilia, we were looking for something else but ended there by chance. The outside atmosphere was nice at sunset. We had insalata Gustosa, antipasti Sicilia, toast Solito, piadine Miami, pizza Salccicia, french fries, cola, ice tea and half liter white wine for 52 euros. The food was good, the salad and appetizer were the best, followed by the sandwiches and pizza at the end, but still good.

02/09/2025: The fish rotisserie is excellent

04/05/2025: Recommended for those who like a quick and good quality meal. My favorites are the macaroni rolls and the chicken with baked potatoes as well as the tasty organic wine. You can order to take home or eat in the restaurant although the seats are limited. Restaurant run by a spouse with great experience in the kitchen

15/07/2025: Very friendly and helpful staff. A large selection of homemade takeaway dishes, which we personally enjoyed. The sweets are also good. The prices are very reasonable :)

21/08/2025: Comfortable atmosphere, breathtaking view, excellent gelato. The owner and staff immediately put you at ease. Highly recommended.

21/08/2025: Excellent gelato, high-quality ingredients, friendly and attentive staff. Recommended.

26/09/2025: Very good food, delicious rotisserie, you eat well, very kind

19/08/2025: Starting with the queen of Messina, her majesty the traditional Messina focaccia, and the king, the orange with ragù, I've tried everything from pasta dishes to rustici. The quality is excellent, the products are incredibly tasty, and they're prepared by highly trained and friendly staff. I've often had friends and family try the various products, and they've always had the same opinions as me. I've also tried other rotisserie shops and bakeries in the area, but none are as good as "Rosticceria Armaleo." And if anyone says otherwise, we'll all accept it. The world is beautiful because it's varied, and there are always people who nitpick... Congratulations to the entire staff at "Rosticceria Armaleo" and to the super-friendly owner. Keep up the good work...

25/09/2025: A true gem in the lower part of the village, just a few meters from the sea and the pebble beach. The food is a delight for the taste buds; you'll never want to leave the table. All the freshest local fish is served with kindness by the owner Aldo's sons, who are also extremely hospitable and knowledgeable in explaining the dishes. The wine list is varied, featuring Sicilian products to suit all budgets. If you're near the village, stop here for an experience you won't soon forget.

13/09/2025: A charming, rustic restaurant just steps from the sea in Castel di Tusa. The staff is incredibly friendly and helpful. Fresh fish. Good value. We'll be back if we have the opportunity.

21/09/2025: Excellent quality food, well cooked. The staff were friendly and fairly quick to respond to our requests. Unfortunately, the bay leaf liqueur finally arrived, but the semifreddo didn't arrive. It was kindly served after 40 minutes, and at our request (so the bay leaf was already warm!!), I'm only taking one star off the service. The atmosphere was clean, including the restrooms. The bill was reasonable for the above.

28/08/2025: Highly recommended restaurant, pleasant atmosphere, and quick service. The food is excellent, and you can taste the quality of the products. I'll be back ☺️
