I migliori ristoranti in Messina

11/07/2025: kitchen needs to be reviewed, waiting times are too long

05/07/2025: popular restaurant slow service and first courses too salty in the seasoning

22/07/2025: Spectacular view, kind and polite staff, very attentive to intolerances (they asked us for next time to let us know when booking so they can prepare)

14/07/2025: Definitely my favorite restaurant in Milazzo. The fish is incredibly fresh, and the staff is wonderful and very knowledgeable. We've always been recommended for the freshness of the fish, and we were particularly pleased with the attention and care they showed us. A heartfelt thank you to Francesco 🤗

13/06/2025: Enchanting place with breathtaking view of the strait. Spectacular granita and brioche

04/04/2025: Nice terrace, friendly service, beautiful view of Italy.

20/07/2025: It will probably be good to eat!? We haven't had the chance to evaluate it!!! 😥 after having immediately placed an order, after about 45" we were informed that the order had not been sent to the kitchen 🥴 and it would no longer be possible due to the time, to prepare it... So we opted for another order, which we reluctantly did by halving the courses, only to be told again that this one too would take too long... To accommodate us, they could have made us something quick on the grill 🥴. It's really true that there is always something to learn, in all the years that I have been going to restaurants, this is the first and only time that it has happened to me. 😥

05/05/2025: Even though it has been around for decades, it was the first time I set foot there. The restaurant is spread over two floors. Rooms not very large but welcoming. The waitresses (all women) are friendly and efficient. I ate well. Advised!

31/05/2025: Everything very good and helpful and kind staff! Highly recommended 👌

08/07/2025: Extremely dated atmosphere, too much so. But not one that feels vintage; this just seems old and outdated. The waiters were very clever at not answering questions; some items on the menu were marked as potentially frozen; the waiter bent over backwards to avoid answering the question. Oh, and the menus are also from the Mesolithic era. I was lucky; I had the Pizza America, and I must say I was surprised by its deliciousness: spicy but tolerable salami, really good, excellent dough, and good toppings. Unfortunately, I also tried another pizza, which, despite having plenty of toppings (even too much), I didn't find it very good. Even though my review is mostly negative, I've given it more stars than it deserves because it takes very little to improve the quality offered to customers.

06/07/2025: Average. They have a lot of choice and the food is fresh.

03/06/2025: try their tiramisu. god himself came to Earth and gave the recipe to their chef super friendly staff and cinematographic customers

31/05/2025: Ottimo cibo e personale altamente cortese

15/06/2025: Everything was great, the staff and the owners were kind and helpful.

12/06/2025: My favorite bakery! I always go there, the quality is extraordinary.

26/05/2025: Negative behaviour towards clients

21/05/2025: Cocktails (limoncello spritz) are very good, Pizza was ok.

21/06/2025: Nice place, outside the stupid traps of the center. All at a fair and friendly price.

18/06/2025: Very good service and a wonderful view at sunset. But the price is too high: 2 gin and tonics and 2 snacks for 48 euros in total. What we don't understand is where the 9 euros per snack come from

17/07/2025: Restaurant had a dirty floor with garbage lying around. Bird eating the leftovers on the floor took more care about cleaning than the staff of the restaurant. We were welcomed by a waitress (with big black glasses), that told us to wait for a table, while she’ll clean it. Other waitress pointed us to a table inside. Then the 1st one told us, that we have to move, because the table is too big for us (table for 4, we were 2). At the same time 2 men, that came after us were free to stay at their table for 4. We were moved to a dirty table outside (so without air conditioning) with 30 degrees Celsius outside. Restaurant was 70% empty and our previous table remained empty for our entire visit. Shrimp cocktail was 80% mayonnaise, with 8 small shrimps at the top for 16 EUR. Swordfish steak was a decent portion, but was bland and tasteless without any spices, we also weren’t given salt, pepper or olive oil. Tagliatelle with pistachios also was a decent portion, but the taste was mediocre at best. Total was 50 EUR, so far the worst experience on the south of Italy. Avoid this place.

07/06/2025: Decent restaurant, not very bright and not very panoramic, the dishes are good, perhaps the prices are a little high, regarding the location...

05/07/2025: Food was good. However, I asked the server if we can get two glasses of wine. He did not ask me what kind of wine I wanted and said he will be right back. At the end of the night my bill came and turns out he charged me €98 per glass of wine. We had a total of 2 glasses. My meal alone was €500. The server took advantage of us and that's not right. I will not recommend this restaurant strictly because the server.

25/06/2025: Very negative experience in the bistrot section of the restaurant. The restaurant is split in two sections. Both sections are managed by Michelin star rated Chef. We ordered two glasses of wine, and appetizer, and two meals. The appetizer arrived 30 minutes later and the l bread and wine was not delivered until after. In fact, we had to inquire about the wine and waited for another 10 minutes. Unfortunately, this was not the end of the problems. We waited for another 90 minutes until we had to go and ask about the meal. During the wait time, the waiter never stop by to talk to us. The waiter apologized explaining that they are very busy tonight. This was Tuesday night and the restaurant was 50% empty. The waiter apologize multiple times, but there was no good explanation and every other table was also waiting for the meal for the extended period of time. Eventually, the meal arrived. It tasted good and it was consistent with the bistro style. The prices, however, were very high (not bistrot prices): The average appetizer was €25-€30 and an average main corse was about €38. An average bottle of wine was above €80 including local wines. We paid €148 for one appetizer. Two main courses and 2 glasses of local wine. At this price levels, the service offered was completely unacceptable, shameful, and undeserving. There was absolutely no reason why the bistro section of the restaurant was let down entirely. I can only imagine how people felt if they chose this restaurant for a special occasion. At the table next to us people got tired of waiting and left without their meal. They were clearly very disappointed as well. If you are considering this restaurant for your memorable meal, please look somewhere else. If you are considering to go for the Michelin star section of this restaurant, I would not go there either unless you like this type of service.

26/07/2025: Very good granita, delicious cream, nice outdoor seating

24/07/2025: I'd like to point out that anyone who commented in other reviews that the staff is kind, attentive, and professional, or that the atmosphere is quiet, is almost certainly a friend of the staff or the owner. I can assure you that it's the opposite: the staff and owner are unpleasant, lacking manners and disrespect for the customer (for example, not greeting a customer after they enter, greeting them both at the door and without seeing a response, greeting them again when they're served, but no greeting in this place is like water in the desert). Entering this bar in the morning will change your mood for the worse thanks to the somber mood of the staff and its owner. I think it's important, especially in the morning, to have a warm smile and welcome customers with enthusiasm and kindness, but this is like trying to drive around a planet similar to Earth. That said, the food is average; the only thing that's better are the croissants, always warm and well-filled. My only positive point is that the rest of the place needs major changes.
