I migliori ristoranti in Messina

05/03/2026: A pleasant corner with plenty of outdoor tables. Prices are higher, but it's worth sitting down and catching your breath. Aperol Spritz 7 euros, small Messina beer 3.5 euros.

05/03/2026: As a Sicilian, I have to say that today, March 5, 2026, the worst bar in all of Sicily. There's nothing else Sicilian at the tables. I feel sorry for Fiorello, who's sanctifying this bar. It must be my impression, sorry.

17/10/2025: Where you think it's just a dream, it's actually reality. Villa Alba, the tree houses, is a truly splendid place. It feels like a fairytale, the breathtaking sunsets change the scenery every time, all it takes is a cloud and everything takes on a different shape. The kindness and helpfulness... is immense. I've had contact with Mrs. Tiziana, who is extremely kind, courteous, and available, even to grant unexpected wishes. I'm absolutely in love with this place. Highly recommended.

14/10/2025: This is the second time we've been guests at an event at this location... the first was for a wedding, where I was blown away by the beauty and meticulous care of the gardens that served as the backdrop. Eight years later, for a baptism, I noticed that the attention to detail and the location haven't changed (perhaps improved). Everything was perfect, the staff was friendly and attentive. My expectations for the food were high, but they were fully met. What can I say? Overall, in my opinion, Villa Alba is the best place for events and ceremonies right now. Congratulations

27/11/2025: I cant leave review on their food as the restaurant was closed, the resturant hasn't bothered to update their Google operating hours.. we have travelled from Taormina thinking to check the beautiful view enjoy good after, but we were left disappointed. We understand that it is off season times ( end of Nov 2025) but at least they should have made an update as there are still people travelling.

25/11/2025: A must! stunning location, homemade authentic Italian 🇮🇹 food - don’t hesitate! best food on that rock 💫

14/11/2025: "A holiday of pure relaxation. Waking up to the sight and sound of the sea is a unique and rejuvenating experience. The culinary experience is equally superb: dining while admiring the beautiful view of the beach and the sea-view garden, enjoying excellent food, is the icing on the cake. Highly recommended for those seeking peace and well-being."

14/11/2025: We've discovered a corner of paradise. If you're looking for relaxation, picture-perfect views, and haute cuisine, this is the place. The sea view is priceless, especially at sunset. The dishes are delicious, made with fresh ingredients and local recipes. The tranquil atmosphere and attentive staff made our dinner a memorable experience. Highly recommended for couples or families seeking peace and good food.

12/02/2026: Very good quality, lots of locals. Large restaurant.

12/10/2025: An evening to be repeated. Excellent in every way.

13/11/2025: Quality and hospitality Everything was delicious

12/11/2025: A truly outstanding sushi restaurant, which you wouldn't expect to find here. Great atmosphere and delicious sushi. Definitely worth a detour.

01/03/2026: A lovely, well-maintained, and welcoming place, just like home! Loredana, the hostess, welcomes you and prepares exquisite yet sophisticated dishes! Not to mention the cookies she bakes... In short, it's a special place to be, a place to meet and feel good!

01/03/2026: I really enjoy this place, I come back often and I recommend it. The recipes are always interesting and everything is delicious. Excellent desserts, welcoming atmosphere, you feel pampered.

14/10/2025: THIS IS NEXT LEVEL EATING!!!! Paola and her team are the BEST. I couldn't help myself & visited this place on a number of occasions including my birthday. They really made me feel special on that day and they speak great English. LOVED EATING AT THIS PLACE

12/10/2025: Absolutely delicious meal, mahi mahi fish was exceptional. Really nice spot in Malfa.

07/01/2026: Excellent restaurant: delicious food and a spectacular location, with a breathtaking view of all of Taormina and Mount Etna right across the street. During the summer, a splendid upstairs terrace is also available. Highly recommended, especially for the kindness of the staff. We chose a raw fish appetizer to share, two first courses (a risotto and tagliolini), and, to finish, a dessert. Everything was delicious, and we had a truly wonderful time. Thank you, Alfio!

03/01/2026: Expectations are inevitably high in a restaurant of this caliber. And it must be said right away: they weren't disappointed, even if there was a slight sense of "it could have been better." The setting is refined, elegant but not stuffy, with a warm, well-lit dining room and a nighttime view that pleasantly complements the dinner. The service is one of the strong points: extremely kind, attentive, never intrusive, and capable of making you feel welcomed from start to finish. The fried seafood is well-executed, using quality ingredients, dry and light. However, for a €25 dish, the portion is objectively modest: two people can eat, yes, but with the feeling that something is missing. More than the quality, here it's the quantity that doesn't live up to the asking price. The risotto with shrimp tails and cheese is perfect, balanced, and well-creamed. Good, without a doubt. But at this level—and especially at €25—you expect that wow factor, that bite that lingers in your memory. In this case, it doesn't explode; it remains a good dish without becoming memorable. The real surprise was the soup: intense, deep, enveloping: truly, very good, one of those dishes that justify the cuisine and leave a lasting impression. Overall, a good experience, pleasant and refined, with room to become excellent. A restaurant that has everything to convince, but which could be more daring with some dishes to fully justify the bill.

15/02/2026: Excellent value for money, especially the high-quality meat and generous portions. Everyone was very kind and helpful. I recommend it.

25/01/2026: Everything was excellent and the service was attentive. The view was beautiful, definitely worth the trip.

12/01/2026: We were staying in Tusa November 2025, and the food & hospitality here made an otherwise cold & rainy night at the end of our trip into a warm, memorable & outstanding way to leave this hilltop town! We were starving and as we walked by we saw LOTS of people going into what looked like a tiny storefront & coming out with pizza boxes, so thought we'd give it a try for pizza. Once we were inside we saw it's larger than we thought & were quickly greeted & seated at a charming table tucked in the back with exposed stone walls, wood beams and decor. With the owner's suggestion, we opted for a "traditional Sicilian meal" and every single plate that came our way was somehow both simple and utterly delicious. Being americani & because the food was SO good, we did our best to clean every plate, lol. We had decided we were stuffed & done when asked if we wanted to try their lamb-- umm, yes! Ohhh what a way to go, man, it was one of our best meals ever. Our only regret is we didn't find it until the end of our visit so only ate there once! Can't wait until we're back in Tusa so we can eat at Le Giare again.

05/01/2026: Amazing food! Can’t wait to get back to Tusa Thank you Marco!

30/10/2025: Very expensive. €70 for a plate of pistachio pasta, a caprese salad that wasn't a real caprese salad, water, 1 beer and 2 coffees.

29/10/2025: Definitely the best pizza in Taormina, nothing else comes close for a long time. Extremely friendly, and a great atmosphere. Admittedly, you have to go up the stairs, under the lemon tree, but it's wonderful. Best pizza ever, and the salad and the octopus appetizer were also beautifully presented. It was almost Michelin-star quality. Fantastic, we'll definitely be back soon.

28/10/2025: We were on a sailing holiday and arrived in Salina marina for the night. We chose this restaurant because it was small but busy. We now know why it was busy even for off season. The food was fabulous. The yellowtail was especially good. Although a limited selection the wine was local and good. Highly recommended.

28/10/2025: A fantastic experience for simple, classic with a twist Aeolian cuisine! We had a wonderful dinner while in Salina and would highly recommend the restaurant. Chef Fillipo is a genius when it comes to taking the most humble of local ingredients and turning them into absolute delicacies. Starting with the broad bean soup with herbed ricotta and anchovies a classic Sicilian soup taken to the next level with fresh herbed ricotta and salty anchovies. We both wanted meat for so we chose the black pork sausages and the house made beef spiedini both absolutely delicious and so simple and we both had the purslane salad, foraged from the local mountains and just delicious. The salted mandarin sorbet with Lemon jam was a perfect finish. We loved everything and would highly recommended you visit.

05/03/2026: Welcoming, courteous, high-quality, and incredibly professional. Prices are affordable. So much poetry and romance, I highly recommend it to everyone.

26/01/2026: Excellent fish dishes, extreme kindness and professionalism. Absolutely recommended.

18/03/2026: Go there. Nowadays, it's not easy to find true local cuisine. Here, you'll be satisfied with everything, from the quality to the personal touch. Truly a pleasant surprise.

14/03/2026: Small but cozy place. Reservations recommended. Food is fresh and delicious. Recommendation
