I migliori ristoranti in Messina

22/07/2025: Italy is known for its good food. I've been to over seven well-known cities in this beautiful country. I must have been to about 30 different restaurants and bars, and I can say with absolute certainty that this was the worst of them all, by far! The food is microwaved, the service is terrible, and it feels like they're doing you a favor, not like you're a customer. The only good thing is that the place has a beautiful view of the sea and the square. So if you're looking to sit down and have a drink, this place will be great. But if you want to eat real food and be treated decently, I implore you to find another place, because Bar Itália is awful!

22/07/2025: Colazione classica a prezzi altissimi, gelato di pessima qualità arrivato mezzo sciolto, i camerieri indolenti. Chiaramente turistico, di tutto ciò che abbiamo preso nel corso di una settimana di vacanza, niente di interessante davvero.

04/08/2025: Terrible service, too expensive for the food they serve, animals roaming the tables

02/08/2025: Beautiful location, good and plentiful food, the only downside being that it's packed with cats of all sizes that roam the tables and sometimes jump on them. Really annoying.

22/04/2025: Excellent food Many appetizers in very small portions The pasta is good And the second too wine already leaving for vinegar No menu on the internet, read the price 30/40 per person At the time of the bill we paid 50 euros per person and without a receipt Honestly too expensive

06/04/2025: Very nice culinary experience. Nothing less than excellent

30/06/2025: Stumbled into this bakery for a quick lunch while exploring neighborhoods and avoiding the tourist spots on the main drag. Owner was wonderful getting us set up with eggplant parmesan, arancini, a Greek salad, and drinks. Nothing fancy, but well-made solid food in a casual indoor-outdoor atmosphere. Place was full of locals having lunch and beers and fun. You can tell they like this business and the owners. Made the mistake of leaving without a couple of cannolis. Dang, next time. Thanks again, and Cheers!

15/06/2025: Encouraged by the guide's advice, we also entered this bakery to try these spectacular cannoli but alas I immediately regretted it when I saw the lady who, when she had finished the pseudo fresh ricotta (cor ca...) was so busy that there were so many people, her husband immediately went to get the new fresh ricotta just made from a nice industrial jar sealed with a nice drawing of a beautiful little sheep and there inside me I started to curse for having paid €4 for a cannoli that gave me heartburn for a couple of hours and what's more it didn't even come close to the typical Sicilian cannoli made properly not to mention the donut eaten by my wife otherwise I'll go on too long in a few words don't go and waste your money here and risk feeling sick and don't trust the guides.

21/07/2025: We were dining with a group, otherwise we would have gone elsewhere based on the reviews. The place is absolutely stunning with views of the harbor, the sea, and Tindari. When you walk into the restaurant, you're literally asked in a casual tone what you want! When you order, you're asked if you want the starter served with the main course... (I wonder why it's called an appetizer!). It was odd and head-shaking when ordering: there was one waiter for the pizza order, and another for the restaurant. Disorganized and too complex for guests who want an appetizer from the kitchen (mussels, for example) followed by a pizza. When we were served, while we were talking, the waitress wanted to pass the pizza across the table to one of our guests and said arrogantly, "Good morning." Hello, are you kidding me! Where did you learn to serve and be friendly? One pizza arrived 20 minutes after all the other main courses had been served, and the canned mushrooms made a lake on the pizza. All the pizzas were carelessly garnished, and the toppings were mostly on one side. There was no dessert other than ice cream. The prices were okay for the location, but very high for the area. But for the quality of the food and the service, this is an overpriced place. The Latino music started very late in the evening and was much too loud. Even though we were actually far away, we found the volume too loud. So you have to think very carefully about sleeping here or in the boat.

07/07/2025: A beautiful experience! We stayed three days and celebrated a very important event managed excellently by the staff and owners. Excellent quality cuisine. We received compliments from all the people invited. Wonderful rooms and cleanliness everywhere. The staff always kind and helpful. Excellent location for those who want to go to the sea or visit Tindari and other beautiful areas in the surrounding area. For us 10 and praise. We will return soon. Thank you ❤️

14/06/2025: The best pizza I've eaten in a long time. Delicious airy dough, very large size and delicious toppings. Really what you're looking for in a pizza. In addition, it was also cozy sitting and good service. Definitely recommended!

12/04/2025: Really delicious pizza, cooked just right, excellent quality ingredients and really delicious flavour, the staff is quite qualified and very kind, I recommend it to anyone who wants to eat a delicious pizza. Excellent 100++++++++++

31/07/2025: At this bar, you can find the REAL granita from Messina. The owners, friendly, smiling, and kind, offer a product that's almost impossible to find in new-generation bars and ice cream parlors anymore. I personally had a peach granita with cream and brioche. #chetelodicobarre

05/07/2025: The restaurant has a beautiful view on the beach, the food was delicious.

29/06/2025: Wonderful place and genuine food, friendly staff. I recommend it

07/08/2025: Excellent pizzeria restaurant, high quality and simplicity.

04/08/2025: Good pizza, big choice, we were satisfied. Locals go here. It's budget-friendly enough and delicious. Our recommendations.

08/08/2025: We had lunch after a morning at the beach. Good food, clean location close to the sea, friendly staff.

19/07/2025: Truly a disappointment, the prices were truly exorbitant, very high... and the pizzas were the wrong ones, without the taste of the toppings, it was like eating cardboard. A bottle of Coke was €4 (a 900ml plastic bottle) and the cover charge was €3 per person. Are you kidding??? This is stealing money. And the menu... on the menu, which, completely wrongly, only listed the names of the pizzas without any mention of the toppings for each. NEVER AGAIN.

04/07/2025: Average sushi, fast service but watch out for flies We came on Sunday evening to this all you can eat: the place was almost empty, so the service was fast and precise. The sushi was good, average, perfect if you don't have too many expectations. The only downside: some annoying flies in the room that ruined the atmosphere a bit. For the rest, an overall positive experience.

25/05/2025: The beautiful black fake marble ceiling reflects, in contrast to a sunny spring day, the dull and dull faces of dozens of waiting customers. The food, although pleasant in absolute terms, is imbued with this vague atmosphere of malaise on the palate. And the saltiness of the soy sauce is barely enough to awaken dull taste buds, almost mocked by the irregular intervals in which the sushi arrives at the tables. The waiter seems almost drowning in the apparent confusion of the room (or perhaps, just of his head), and wanders back and forth, stumbles, turns toward the kitchen and then retraces his steps - and if you are lucky, he will have a plate in his hands. But if you are even luckier, immensely lucky, he will head as if through a labyrinth toward you, toward your table, and will serve you what you ordered 45 minutes earlier... Only to start the vicious circle of your wait all over again. And then, at a certain point in the day, the desperate hope that the remaining dishes will actually be served is replaced by the deep, dull certainty that nothing more will come. The only thing I feel like praising is the determination of the customers, who without any recalcitrance remain at the tables waiting, their eyes half-closed, their mouths contracted, sadly observing the tangled movement behind the counter, towards the kitchen, inside their hearts.

15/07/2025: Very welcoming. Very kind staff

10/07/2025: The food was terrible, and I paid a lot: €70 for four (mini) burgers, a slice of raw meat, and a supermarket salad. It was a terrible, ruined day. Not recommended.

03/05/2025: Veramente con grande disappunto, perché un locale dovrebbe rispondere al primo squillo mi dispiace tanto anche perché ci sono stata in passata e mi ero trovata bene quindi a questo punto devo dire che il servizio è pessimo il fatto che non si possa prenotare senza rischiare che poi magari si arriva fin là e non si trova posto

14/04/2025: Everything is perfect every year when we go to Sicily it is a point of reference for us and friends
