I migliori ristoranti in Messina

09/09/2025: We called by chance looking for a chocolate cake for my daughter's birthday. We went to the café and the very helpful lady made us a cake to order, which we picked up a few hours later. The cake was delicious and my daughter was very happy. Thank you.

29/08/2025: The desserts are a spectacle, Sicilian specialities are excellent

25/10/2025: We only stopped by for a quick beer while waiting for our train. It's a nice neighborhood place, nice staff.

20/09/2025: A modern bar, very centrally located, right across from Messina Ventrale train station. We had two delicious pistachio and almond granitas there at a great price. The staff were friendly and accommodating. We'd love to come back.

19/07/2025: An experience never to be repeated! I bought some very tough chicken, and after cooking it, it shrank to half its size. This means they're full of hormones. Then, not satisfied, I bought some beef steaks that cost almost €30 per kg, and after opening them, they smelled rotten. I thought it must have been a coincidence and bought another super steak again, and no such problem. I'm in need of a check by the NAS! Never again!

21/11/2025: I had high hopes for this place's granitas, but I was disappointed. The pistachio was practically undetectable, while the chocolate flavor was decent. The brioche didn't convince me either. A shame. On the plus side, the staff was friendly.

31/10/2025: Went for a cappuccino and a pistachio cornetto. They didn't have any ready, so they made one on the spot - but it wasn't really pistachio. It was just cream with a hint of pistachio flavor. When I mentioned it, the staff first insisted it was pistachio and then said it was pistachio cream. The quality wasn't great, and the prices were quite high for what they offered.

07/10/2025: Well...my friends reading this, my expectations were high, in the sense that when they tell you about a gourmet restaurant, you don't just expect a beautiful plating but something more. Punta Lena is a charming restaurant, nothing extraordinary, right on the sea. Perhaps the downside was that when we went for dinner, it was already dark, and we couldn't tell we were right next to the sea. In any case, the dishes were well-cooked, but like pretty much everywhere else in Stromboli. It didn't stand out compared to the rest in terms of food quality. One flaw I absolutely didn't expect was the peppered mussels, which were so salty it tasted like seawater. And we Sicilians know how to cook mussels...when we pointed this out, we were simply told: oh...strange... Anyway, my calamari was good, but it was frozen. Maybe it's because I'm used to eating fresh fish; I can tell right away. The flavor was very good, anyway. That said, I can't give more stars because, guys, it's truly impossible to mess up a Pepata... The prices are truly outrageous for the type of food.

26/09/2025: Decent dishes, very friendly waiter, nice location.

15/08/2025: We felt at home! 🤗 Sincere, spontaneous, and always elegant hospitality. Super fresh fish served in a refined and creative way, perfect quantities. We were welcomed wonderfully yesterday and returned this evening for another relaxing evening of good food. Great background music. Excellent service. The best seafood couscous I've ever eaten! Thank you so much for these two consecutive evenings of harmony and high quality. Congratulations!

05/10/2025: Rude desk staff Unfriendly dining room staff

27/09/2025: beautiful and everything delicious

31/10/2025: The best coffee in Centocelle, period. As if that weren't enough, you can eat very well at lunch from Monday to Friday.

11/07/2025: Nous sommes arrives tard le soir et sans réservation,,nous avons attendu 3' et nous avons été tres bien installé. Il y a une terrasse avec une vue exceptionnele.Des serveurs très sympathiques alors qu'il y avait le problème de la langue,on ne parle pas italien ni anglais. Le repas fut excellents et de très bonne qualité/ prix. Nous y reviendrons pour la fin de nos vacances.

18/06/2025: Posto bellissimo con un panorama incredible. Tramonto sul mare. Abbiamo mangiato cozze pepate e involtini di gamberoni e pesce Spadafora : molto buono ! Servizio ottimo, prezzo prezzi giusti. Noi ci torniamo con piacere nel nostro periodo di férié. Angela e Jean del Belgio

17/09/2025: We found this pizzeria practically by accident while we were on our way somewhere else. It was a Thursday evening, completely deserted, but we were in a hurry and went in. The pizza and sangria were really good. The sangria was better than the ones we drank last year in both Barcelona and Valencia. Honestly, we were surprised there was no one there; back in Veneto, it would always be crowded. What can I say? Move to our place, you won't regret it; stop trying to make ends meet in Messina.

20/07/2025: Unfortunately, our experience wasn't the best. The atmosphere was pleasant and the staff was courteous, but the food didn't quite meet our expectations. We struggled to swallow the Mexican dish, and the next day... let's just say our stomachs definitely had something to complain about. It's a shame, we expected better. We hope for a future improvement.

25/08/2025: The pastry shop is a feast for the eyes and the palate. The Pignolata (and more) are exquisite, and the service is kind. I can't wait to return.

18/08/2025: Very cute and delicious pastry. My daughter tried a pastry with tiny strawberries and it was amazing, and I had the granite (which is a slushie with better ice) and I would recommend trying the lemon flavour (the almond flavour was very good to). We were on a cruise and stumbled on this gem. And the lady running the bakery was so friendly and patient in explaining everything to us.

09/11/2025: I've been going to Iyad, my husband's favorite pizzeria, for 17 years now. I love their pizza and their potatoes... Excellent.

26/10/2025: I've been coming to this pizzeria for about thirty years, and it's always a guarantee. The owner is a real character: direct, ironic, and unfiltered, but with that warm, friendly atmosphere that makes you feel at home. His jokes are now part of the experience! 😄 His pizza is unlike any other: a very light and incredibly digestible dough, with a secret touch that makes it unique. The desserts are also a must; after so many years, I still don't know whether I prefer the almond and cinnamon one or the citrus one, both spectacular. The ingredients are always fresh and of excellent quality. The place may not be the prettiest, and the prices are a bit high, but the quality, friendliness, and authentic atmosphere make it worth returning every time. A true, authentic pizzeria full of character, just like its owner.

16/11/2025: It is always a pleasure to enter this bar with its good products and cleanliness.

02/11/2025: Clean environment, polite and welcoming staff. Excellent breakfast. I'm a regular customer and it feels like home. 10 stars to Mr. Ivano for the way he interacts with both customers and colleagues. One downside: they could use a few more staff, as the limited staff slows down service.

28/06/2025: Super good and very abundant kebab

26/10/2025: Definitely do not recommend. Rather place that should have rating 2-3/5. We came based on the good rating and the availability during siesta. We didn't get the menu, lady offered two types of pasta, which was reheated (Most probably in the microwave). Eventually, we could accept this fact, but we paid 40 euros! Definitely they saw we are tourists and increased the price (As there was no menu). If you have to eat, better to go to the Panini bar - that's complete opposite of this place.

07/10/2025: Cold pasta and tomato sauce closer to ketchup than anything else....
