I migliori ristoranti in Messina

16/11/2025: The young waiter speaks English and the location is very good; those are the only two positive points. Tourist trap!! €19 for a small beer with an Aperol Spritz and an orange and mozzarella. The food was quickly reheated in the microwave. Taste-wise: like it had already been eaten. No toilet paper in the restroom, nor anything to dry your hands with. The soap had clearly been diluted countless times. Prices aren't listed anywhere; I think everyone gets a different price. The bill doesn't even specify what each item costs... There's another restaurant just down the street...

08/10/2025: Great sidewalk cafe with nonna’s arancino and limoncello spritzer! Great little spot and food!

02/12/2025: This is the second time we've stopped to buy some raw arancini for travel. The first time, we bought them in January 2025, was better in our opinion, with more seasoning (classic and standard), while these, bought a week ago, were less toned than we remembered. I hope it was just a coincidence.

27/11/2025: Welcoming, with a wide variety of rustic dishes and delis for those who have to take the highway, this is a great place to pick up food to go. The girl at the counter is very welcoming.

24/09/2025: A real treat, I highly recommend it! The welcome was incredibly warm, and the food… I'm speechless! It's delicious and authentically traditional.

28/06/2025: A restaurant and bar for friends and acquaintances. It's a place to hang out and have fun. A daily menu is always fresh. Good food and excellent service.

31/12/2025: Excellent breakfast quality and attentive customer service

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!

22/10/2025: We happened to pass by here, what a nice place and what delicious mussels we ate!☺️

14/10/2025: We got swordfish and mackerel this time, both were fresh and delisious with local rosato…

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.

27/01/2026: We were cheated in the middle of the day, simply because we were tourists. They added three dishes to the bill right in front of us, even though we only ordered two. I do not recommend this place to anyone.

27/12/2025: terrible, I will never come again

04/11/2025: Nestled in the Peloritani Mountains, Borgo Musolino in Messina is a small corner of fairytale land suspended between sky and silence. The surrounding woods seem to breathe with those who pass through them: the air smells of damp earth, moss, and wood, while paths wind through centuries-old trees that filter the light like natural windows. As the sun sets, everything transforms. The village glows with warm hues, and the sunsets—long, vibrant, almost endless—tint the hills copper and purple, enveloping the small estate in an intimacy that touches the soul. Borgo Musolino is not just a place, but an emotional refuge: a perfect balance between the tranquility of nature and the discreet charm of history. Every stone tells a memory, every glance toward the horizon offers a new sigh. It is the ideal place for those seeking silence, beauty, and a touch of poetry among the trees and the wind.

20/02/2026: Three of us had dinner, and we had some good hamburgers. It fell a bit short of my expectations; I expected a bit more quality. For example, the bacon was cold, and the hamburger wasn't hot enough, not even cooked thoroughly. The service was impeccable. I was a bit disappointed by the price of a glass of wine; €7 for an Etna red seems a bit excessive.

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

17/10/2025: Very good restaurant. Chef Giuseppe explained us every meal in detail. They use local ingredients and everything was so delicious.

06/10/2025: We arrived around 9:15 pm and were greeted very coldly, feeling like we were intruding. We couldn't get a menu: we were simply told that there were only a few glasses of wine, beer, or cocktails left. We ordered a beer and a glass of wine... the latter was clearly a leftover bottle with a deposit, charged at €10 per glass. There was no opportunity for a snack, and the waiter stayed behind the bar on his phone, apparently waiting for us to leave to join his friends in the neighboring restaurant. A truly disappointing experience, to be avoided.

17/08/2025: The quality of the food, the courtesy and the location are excellent.

06/08/2025: Granita and brioche. Both excellent. Spectacular whipped cream. The wait on the terrace could be better, but it's worth it. Very nice outdoor location.

10/10/2025: We enjoyed a beautiful dinner at the Gourmet restaurant and cannot say enough good things about it! The staff was incredibly welcoming, warm, kind, and accommodating. We had the pleasure of getting to know Giuseppe and he made sure our experience was unforgettable. The flavor combinations were exceptional and unique with fantastic service and ambiance. Grazie mille!! Nina & Gianfranco

08/10/2025: A magical place with a wonderful view where you can have an exciting food and wine experience!
