I migliori ristoranti in Messina

22/07/2024: Siamo andati a cena in questo locale consigliatoci da degli amici, visto la nostra voglia di mangiare del buon pesce. Abbiamo cenato all'esterno nella piazzetta vista chiesa con una bella musica di sottofondo. Abbiamo mangiato un buon antipasto di pesce fresco molto abbondante e degli ottimi primi a base di pesce. Personale cortese e disponibile. Molto buono il rapporto qualità prezzo. Lo consiglio, ottima esperienza, ci torneremo.

20/07/2024: Gelato ottimo. Cannoli siciliani squisito. Servizio da parte della cameriera mora con i capelli corti pessimo. Abbiamo chiesto per 3 volte l'acqua e infine l'ha portata sbattendola sul tavolo. Ha sbagliato la distribuzione del gelato a noi clienti, è stata molto maleducata, pessima è l'aggettivo giusto. Molto meglio la volta scorsa, 3 giorni fa, con la cameriera argentina, professionale, gentile ed educatissima

08/08/2024: My opinion is that it is an overrated place, certainly a trendy place.

21/06/2024: Excellent aperitif and efficient service

31/08/2024: Hanno fatto una miriade errori nelle ordinazioni. Tra le altre cose abbiamo ordinato 2 spaghetti mediterranea (frutti di mare). Hanno portato 3 spaghetti alle vongole. Quando lo abbiamo fatto notare il titolare (Gaetano) ci ha risposto che il sabato con 250 (?) coperti è normale qualche errore. Dopo 5 minuti ci hanno portato gli stessi spaghetti, scotti, con aggiunta di pomodori crudi e tante vongole. Una vera vergogna. Tranne che per la compagnia serata da dimenticare.

30/08/2024: Perfetto posto per godersi una bella cena. Pasquale ci a fatto trascorrere una sera tranquila e molto accogliente. La cena, top e il gelato alla canella indimenticabile. Grazie di tutto. CI torneremo!

01/09/2024: Terrible pizzeria service, more than 1 hour and 15 minutes waiting, I go the next day (Sunday morning) for breakfast, they don't have any pistachio granita or cream. among other things, if you don't call them before serving you, the waiters make you wait 30 minutes.

30/08/2024: Table service without the slightest experience! Wrong drink. Wrong ice cream flavors and sizes. However, the “Argentine” waiter was very friendly! I even felt sorry for him! And the JAZZ night, there was NOTHING about jazz!!!

05/09/2024: Skip this restaurant as a tourist! Rude service overall, only the younger staff (probably the not yet overstressed and burned out waitresses) tried to be kind, but nobody could speak english at all. Most of the fishes were frozen and tasteless. I left the restaurant hungry, because I could not eat niether the calamari, shrimp or octopus due to their bad taste. They forgot to serve some of the dishes but tried to charge them on the bill anyway. Most of the guests were italian, maybe the locals get normal service, but as a tourist it's a no go. By the way the town is lovely both in the daylight and in the night.

05/09/2024: They increased the cost and also decreased the quantity of food, furthermore things arrived at some tables and only when we asked for them did they bring them to us. To complete a chicken cutlet really poor with chips per child €15. I don't recommend it at all.

26/08/2024: Un luogo suggestivo della splendida isola di Lipari. Un'accoglienza speciale da parte della Sig. Maria e della sua collaboratrice la Sig. Sara per farti sentire coccolato tra tramonti unicib e pietanze all'insegna del tipico gusto eoliano.. Apericena al top Grazie a tutto lo staff dell'agriturismo Tivoli per la serata unica ed indimenticabile

25/08/2024: Una cena con il calore di casa di fronte ad un tramonto mozzafiato. Siamo stati a cena nella seconda metà di agosto e ci siamo recati per poter vedere il tramonto sulle Eolie. Abbiamo ricevuto un caloroso benvenuto e abbiamo cenato con tipicità squisite. Se siete a Lipari non potete non recarvi qui dove potete trovare cena con calore di casa è una location pazzesca. Servizio ottimo davvero gentili!!

01/08/2024: After several holidays in Taormina, we returned again this year. One of the highlights of our visit was discovering this beautiful wine bar, just few steps down from Corso Umberto. Talk about ‘far from the madding crowd’, this little haven does ‘aperitivo’ on another level. Always warmly greeted, quickly seated and promptly attended, the staff were fantastic, all of them. Great music, great nibbles and awesome drinks (mainly Aperol Spritz and Bloody Mary). You really made a most pleasant difference to our stay this time, and rest assured, we will definitely be back….thank you!

30/07/2024: Will not come back… expensive for what you get.

17/08/2024: I visited this restaurant in 2006 and I have to say the standard here has dropped since then, possibly through change of ownership? We ordered our food and drinks, expecting as per any restaurant in Sicily, to have the drinks arrive (maybe with some bread) followed by the food. The food arrived 1st with x2 meals missing. We had to ask 3 times where our drinks were, to the point that the children were crying for water and we'd almost finished the food that had arrived, eventually going up to the fridge to take the water ourselves. The staff stopped us from doing this and then the beer and wine came with the water, although it was far too late for us to enjoy this with 4 of 6 having eaten already. We also had to ask a number of times for the rest of the food, which arrived later and over-cooked to the point that we asked for boxes to put it in, so the children could escape and calm down. It's a shame as this was once a great restaurant, however the service and the food was nowhere near the standard I recall from before.

16/08/2024: Beautiful place with outdoor garden, excellent food and friendly and helpful staff. Good value for money Advised

03/09/2024: Tourist trap with nice outdoor seating. Pasta sauce definitely tasted like it was from store bought bottles (which I thought would be illegal in Italian restaurants in Sicily). Complete waste of money. Service was good though, which is understandable given the above.

22/08/2024: Wonderful cozy place! Lasagna, caponata, drinks, service - above all praise. Very tasty. Thanks to the cook and waiters. I recommend trying these dishes. Prices are reasonable compared to other establishments in Taormina.

17/08/2024: There's not much to add when you order a baked calzone and you forget that I'm at the table waiting (and the calzone is inside the take-away box) And there's not much to add when you forget about the ham in the calzone Terrible experience

12/08/2024: We booked takeaway pizzas, unfortunately without offending those who work, the pizza was lacking in ingredients and not very tasty. I don't recommend it

03/08/2024: EDIT: The restaurant owner decided to reply in a hostile and condescending manner to what intended to be a fair review. Just to be clear: our problem with the rations was not the “size” in itself, but the value for money. The problem was not that the dishes were expensive and small (contemporary restaurants have dishes that are like that but are great); the problem is that, on top of expensive and small, they were also dull. I tried to put it gently in my original review, but seen the condescending tone of the reply I decided to put it in more clear terms. I find it extremely audacious to say that “we should go for a more familiar place”, as we have indeed visited them through the trip, but also different categories of restaurants —bib gourmands, starred and other Michelin restaurants—. Believe me, it is not a matter of range (all categories of restaurant, from familiar to high cuisine, can be fabulous). But it is preposterous to charge Michelin-star-prices for a plate that, simply, does not live to that standard. Lastly, the quality of the service is self-portrayed in their reply to the review. Not great. I hope that next time you can handle criticism in a less condescending way. ORIGINAL REVIEW: I am sorry to give it 3/5. The atmosphere was perfect—a lovely medieval patio isolated from the noise of the center—but I am afraid a 3/5 is the best I can do. The pasta was delicious, but the other plates were unimpressive. The rations were small, not particularly original or tasty, and the service was relative slow. In short, I really wanted this place to work, but I left back to my hotel absolutely disappointed.

15/07/2024: A pleasant environment as much as the food and the attention of the owner... recommended place for a simple and pleasant experience

30/07/2024: Amazing pizza, friendly staff. Must try in Messina

07/07/2024: È stato un piacere cenare nella pizzeria Optimus! Dal momento in cui si entra, si è accolti da un'atmosfera calda e familiare, con personale gentile e sempre disponibile. I tempi di attesa sono stati brevi. Ho avuto modo di assaggiare, oltre alla pizza, anche i loro dolci: deliziosi! Consiglio vivamente la pizzeria Optimus, locale in cui sicuramente ritornerò.

20/07/2024: We were extremely disappointed with the restaurant. We had to wait 1 hour for the water, 2 hours for the food, the waiters were informed of this several times. Never experienced such bad service. Never again and I wouldn't recommend it either.

02/06/2024: Excellent place...welcoming and clean...excellent pizza...very fresh fish

15/06/2024: A beautiful reality to have fun 🙋🏼‍♂️

20/05/2024: I went as a girl with friends, really cool.👍
