I migliori ristoranti in Messina

30/08/2025: The best gelatos, the granita always fresh! The Crossaint is always impeccable, the staff is excellent, always kind and friendly, and the owner is very attentive and kind. Definitely a place to return to again and again!

15/08/2025: Horrible granita, in plastic cups, croissants sold out and it's August 15th. Very dirty tables.

09/10/2025: Delicious pasta dishes. Very good house wine & good value for money.

14/09/2025: I'm giving it 4 stars for service only because of the long wait. But the food is delicious, the portions are large, and the service is very friendly. We'll definitely be back.

24/08/2025: The restaurant is located in front of the boarding point for the Aeolian Islands, very well-kept, with a wide selection of vegetables, first and second courses... very fast service for those in a hurry to board... recommended

24/08/2025: Excellent value for money!! Friendly and knowledgeable staff! Excellent food, wide selection, very well-maintained venue... HIGHLY RECOMMENDED...

11/10/2025: Delicious, fresh food Punctual and friendly service Friendly, family atmosphere

28/09/2025: Fantastic Bistro extremely friendly and helpful staff with great food. Would recommend the sausage and pistachio pasta was amazing.

14/10/2025: Avoid!! Tourist specific pricing. €3.50 for a subpar cappuccino. 🤌🏽

30/09/2025: The cappuccino for 3 euros was bad for Italy, but unfortunately there was no alternative early in the morning. It was nice that they offered the cappuccino to go, wrapped in aluminum foil for easy carrying.

05/10/2025: Delicious meat, excellent service, and a lovely place. Highly recommended.

07/08/2025: Top-notch experience. Food, wine, location, and service are exceptional.

20/09/2025: Top-notch seafood cuisine....fresh fish, simple cooking enhances the flavor of the fish...compliments, I highly recommend it to gourmets.

18/09/2025: A somewhat secluded place, simple on the outside, cute and welcoming inside. What can I say....I happened to be in the area, I did a Google search and it came up very close to my location, I didn't hesitate and wanted to try it. The kind and friendly owners immediately recommended what was available on the daily menu. I admit that we are not big eaters and we limited ourselves to just an appetizer and a first course, all fish. Satisfied with both the quality (very fresh fish) and the price, below the average for the genre. Everything was good! I think I will return for a more substantial feast! Recommended.

11/09/2025: The service was a very positive note. Everyone was kind and attentive. We were treated and served well. Unfortunately, the food doesn't live up to the beautiful location, with its fabulous coastline. There's nothing to compliment it. The dishes are more trattoria-like than restaurant-like. The prices are exorbitant (for the selection and execution). I'd save the mussels and the fried fish... I have to say the pizza is more appetizing, but the value for money isn't justified. The place deserves more attention to detail and well-executed menus. You can't make money off the location alone!

27/08/2025: Managed in a businesslike manner—and that's understandable—but with "grey" areas: - I paid for internal parking, and with difficulty reached a "station" by navigating a corridor along a bumpy dirt path between narrow spaces and between tents; - I also paid for the electricity connection to the car to recharge its battery (the traditional lead-acid one), but the connection wasn't there, not "through their fault" but rather that of the "technical staff." In fact, a guy told me they didn't have any other extension cords. - In this context, they suggested I see if I could move the car to another, more confined space where I could perhaps access the outlets without their extension cords. A ridiculous proposal. Plenty of hot water for showers. However, I didn't try their other paid services (beach club and restaurant) given my initial experience.

22/10/2025: What can I say, except that this restaurant is a tourist trap. The cheese and charcuterie board was industrial and flavorless. The waiter didn't take our order into consideration and, against our will, served us a 33 cl beer instead of a 20 cl one, which he of course charged for, despite our disagreement. Avoid

21/09/2025: The place has the perfect ambience at night. There are lights in the plants, live music and everyone is having a great time. The place was very busy but, luckily we got a table right away. The servers were very attentive and friendly. Can’t say enough positive things about them. The food and drinks were also amazing. The octopus was so tender you could cut it with a butter knife and it practically melted in your mouth. The carpaccio for a starter, that was shared, was a very good portion and it too was also incredible. Overall, I highly recommend coming here if you are in Taormina.

03/10/2025: The best gluten-free bread I've tried so far. Unfortunately, I wasn't able to try other products because they weren't widely available.

07/09/2025: Maybe I arrived at the wrong time, but I was a little disappointed. I thought I'd find a little more choice. The first day I asked for croissants, and the lady, who was very kind, told me I'd find them the next day. So I ordered two arancini, which were very good. I returned the next day and found no arancini, and the brioches were the packaged ones. No fresh croissants, which this time she told me to only make in the winter...very little variety, even in shortcrust pastry. So much expectation for so few things.

30/08/2025: The best focaccia in Messina ever!

26/07/2025: Excellent focaccia and rustici!

24/09/2025: We organized a wonderful party for about 60 people at Manuja in September 2025 under the new management of Giorgia and her husband. Aside from their kindness and helpfulness, the food was delicious, we had a great time, the place was magical, and the buffet was so good! We had both vegetarians and celiacs, and they were able to accommodate every request. Thank you so much for organizing our pre-wedding!

24/08/2025: Our expectations were a bit disappointing, with pizzas that were unfortunately not good. I can only hope that it was just a moment and that everything becomes 5 stars 😜

17/09/2025: Good place for a simple meal, decent cuisine. Too bad we couldn't enjoy a sea view, but overall the food is still satisfactory and the flavors are quite classic.

10/09/2025: I had the pleasure of dining here last night. The place is very elegant and pleasant. We were served by very kind and helpful waiters, always ready to recommend the right food. We started with a delicious shrimp cocktail, followed by spaghetti with clams and gnocchi with pesto and shrimp, all accompanied by a fruity white wine that made the dinner incredibly tasty. We finished with a panna cotta and an apple tart. Nothing to add, everything was perfect. The sound of the waves in the background created a magical atmosphere. If you love good food, this is a must-try, highly recommended!

28/09/2025: Recommended by a friend, I went there with my wife in early June. The place is cute, the staff are friendly, and the cuisine is traditional Sicilian. The portions are generous and the quality is top-notch. In short, the owners really care about the restaurant's reputation. Highly recommended, excellent value for money. In short, if you're in the area, stop by. It's worth it.

31/08/2025: Poor quality food, the place should be renovated, the price paid was very exaggerated.
