I migliori ristoranti in Messina

21/10/2025: !! AVOID THIS PLACE !! Entire place runs cluelessly. (Should look and believe other reviews) Arrive 10 minutes prior to the reservation. Got told to wait 5 minutes, but end up waiting more than 30. People arrived later got seated before us. Many tables’ food was missing or wrong.

20/10/2025: It was a meal we had been looking forward to, and it looked really delicious. The initial reception was also normal. We made an online reservation for 8:00 and arrived at 7:50. The waiter gave us each a glass of sparkling wine and asked us to wait for 5 minutes, but 30 minutes later we were still not seated. During this time, more people lined up, but no one showed us to the empty tables. It also looked like the diners were having trouble getting their meals. Someone who looked like the boss came out and pushed the diners who lined up later into the empty seats. Neither we nor the other diners who arrived earlier understood this arrangement. Based on this logic, we might not be able to get our meals until 10:00, which was a pity. In the end, we left and went to another restaurant. It would have been better if they had told us directly that the wait would be long, so that we could have decided whether to continue waiting, instead of constantly asking people to wait another 5 minutes. The online reservation could also be cancelled because it was meaningless.

22/04/2025: Die Küche hat ihre Highlights (Lamm) und ihre Lowlights (kalter Fisch serviert). Das Service ist bemüht, kommt aber nicht wirklich über einen mittleren Standard hinaus. Was uns nicht gefallen hat war die Atmosphäre. Man sitzt in einem in die Jahre gekommenen Wintergarten und das Lokal wirkt kalt. Hier scheinen auch nur Touristen zu speisen und keine Einheimischen, was wir in Italien nie als gutes Zeichen erlebt haben.

14/04/2025: Cenamos aquí por mi cumpleaños y tuvimos una noche muy encantadora. Las mesas de la pequeña terraza de la azotea están en un lugar muy romántico, con la cumbre del Monte Etna justo visible sobre los antiguos tejados. Fuimos muy bien atendidos por el personal y las opciones de comida y vino fueron algunos de los mejores que probamos en Taormina.

24/08/2025: Great place, excellent sandwiches! The only complaint is the paid parking until 1 a.m. It's unfair that those who go to eat have to pay for parking.

24/08/2025: Really good. The sandwiches are 500g each, so I recommend getting one for two people. The sandwiches are made with excellent quality ingredients and are nice and filling. The staff is very young and friendly.

07/08/2025: Prices aren't sky-high, as has become commonplace in Messina and other cities. The quality hasn't suffered at all; in fact, it's consistently high. The location is very interesting and charming. The staff is incredibly friendly and the food is clean!

25/06/2025: One of the friendliest places in all of Messina the atmosphere is so welcoming, and the people here truly make you feel at home

06/11/2025: I was expecting much more. I didn't like the coffee, only the tiramisu was good

02/11/2025: Dolce & Gabbana - Can highly recommend a visit here Fantastic service. A bit pricey for 12€ for a beer and 12€ for a coke!

04/09/2025: I was looking for an excellent rotisserie for dinner and found this little gem. The rotisserie's signature dish is undoubtedly the classic Messina pidone with cheese and vegetables (curly endive, I think). The dough was soft, just the right amount of thin, and not greasy—practically perfect. The typical Messina focaccia was also excellent. The staff was courteous and helpful, and the service was quick. The atmosphere was clean and welcoming. The food smelled inviting. I didn't get to try the grilled chicken, but judging by the look and the large number of orders, I think it was excellent and worth a try. Maybe next time. The prices were reasonable for the quality. I highly recommend this place for a takeout meal. See you next time. Roberto

02/09/2025: Every year my brother and I order chicken and savoury pies, and every time we have to wait a long time to pick them up. The staff is a bit cold. However, the chicken and savoury pies are good.

05/10/2025: We visited this trattoria for a seafood dinner and had a truly wonderful time. Everything was excellent, especially the appetizer, which was generous and well-prepared. The staff was extremely polite and helpful; they gave us excellent advice on our dish selection, and you could sense their passion for their work. The only small complaint concerns the restaurant, which could use a bit of a makeover to reflect the quality of the cuisine. Overall, however, it was a very pleasant experience, and I recommend it to anyone looking for good, authentic seafood cuisine in a welcoming atmosphere.

17/09/2025: A little more courtesy from the staff

06/10/2025: Passing by at dinner time, we found arancini and pizzas, without having to wait too long. A good place to eat in.

06/09/2025: Top excellent kind and the food is excellent

07/09/2025: We went to this place with friends and ordered the classic pizza tour menu. The pizzas were good, but the problem was the long wait (about an hour) for our pizzas to arrive. Unfortunately, there was only one pizza chef on duty, and the place was full. Clearly, a single pizza chef can't guarantee prompt delivery, so the owner is solely responsible for the delay. It's a shame, because the pizzas were good and the bill was fair.

06/09/2025: Exceptional pizzas, impeccable service The quality of the dough Super easy to digest

08/09/2025: Hotel in the center of Leni, with a post office with a postamat, supermarket, and bus stop nearby. It's ideal for those seeking refreshment. Beautifully maintained, with plenty of greenery and a sea view. Cleanliness and impeccable hospitality. A strategic location for exploring the entire island. We rented a car, but even walking from the hotel to Rinella was a magical experience. The hotel bar is a must-see for anyone passing through Leni. Thanks to Michele for his valuable advice and to all the staff. We hope to return soon.

31/07/2025: I have been to many hotels in Europe and South America, this was without a doubt the best, not only for the views and the rooms, which by the way were 1000/10, but also the attention of the owners was the best. I definitely recommend it a lot.

20/09/2025: Divine cuisine, let yourself be guided by the catch of the day, you will not be disappointed! Typical, romantic setting and plunging view of the bay of Milazzo! The charming owner, behind his desk, plays us the Italian hits of the 80s! A place to discover and especially to come back 🎉

17/09/2025: A regular stop at this restaurant when we're in Milazzo. A small terrace overlooking the sea and always fresh fish. The staff are friendly and courteous.

05/11/2025: A pleasant and quiet place to taste excellent sfogliatelle or lobster dishes.

26/09/2025: Good-quality typical Sicilian dishes, with fast, courteous service. The restaurant is very well-maintained and clean. Affordable prices.

03/09/2025: Excellent restaurant and pizzeria. Friendly and courteous service.

06/10/2025: Fantastic pasticceria! The baba, cannoli, and pistachio gelato were delicious.

21/09/2025: the croissant and the coffee were good

09/11/2025: We finally found a delicious granita! Fast and professional service. Everything perfect!

01/11/2025: I've been to this location more than once and I can say I've been satisfied every time. Aside from the attention to detail, the quality of the food is high and the service excellent. I'll definitely be back. I highly recommend it.
