I migliori ristoranti in Messina

30/10/2025: Authentic, traditional Italian cuisine. Matheo has been running the place for over 50 years. It's well worth the experience. I highly recommend it.

12/10/2025: Nice and by the sea but I only limited myself to having a coffee 🤩

12/10/2025: Came twice, was closed even when it showed it was open on google. Very disapointing

20/09/2025: Like everything on the island, it's rather expensive. The salad was very good. The pistachio cookies were a bit dry. Friendly service. Good outdoor seating. Large selection of dishes and breads.

09/11/2025: Beautiful place, quality food, friendly staff and easy to get to.

07/09/2025: Excellent choice for an evening dinner

21/12/2025: The best lasagna in the world. Perfect service! I'll definitely be back.

01/12/2025: Excellent food, relaxing and comfortable atmosphere. The dining room is surrounded by large windows overlooking the surrounding nature and the sea.

29/01/2026: Both Asian and Italian food are good.

17/01/2026: Prices have increased, quality has improved slightly, but selection is limited compared to before. The canteen-style layout is definitely better, so the locals avoid handling the food, which will be picked up by those who serve themselves after them. Update 2024: The restaurant has truly lost much of its original charm. I will never return; it's very dirty and the food is poor quality. *Update 2026* The cleanliness of the premises has improved, but the attention to the plates displayed for diners to use has been somewhat less so. A general overhaul is definitely needed, especially regarding the bathroom doors. The quality of the food and preparation has improved. I didn't like the sushi, which I found too large for the quantity of each piece, and I didn't like the grilled shrimp because they arrived with the casing still inside. The other dishes were good overall, especially the desserts. One star increase.

28/01/2026: We have a great dinner, we dance and we're guaranteed fun.

17/09/2025: We found this pizzeria practically by accident while we were on our way somewhere else. It was a Thursday evening, completely deserted, but we were in a hurry and went in. The pizza and sangria were really good. The sangria was better than the ones we drank last year in both Barcelona and Valencia. Honestly, we were surprised there was no one there; back in Veneto, it would always be crowded. What can I say? Move to our place, you won't regret it; stop trying to make ends meet in Messina.

11/08/2025: Simply... spectacular granita! Nothing else needs to be said. Delicious. The end.

08/08/2025: What can I say? I went there with a friend and we ate a series of unpleasant fish dishes, each one better than the last, accompanied by an excellent local wine. The staff were friendly and helpful, and the place was very popular.

27/09/2025: Great bar for an aperitif 👍🏻 I'll also try the granita.

21/09/2025: Usual excuse to pay 5 euros for a cappuccino

12/08/2025: Nothing to say. Everything was perfect. They seated us, despite the late hour, welcoming us with great courtesy and kindness. All the dishes served were excellent and carefully prepared. Honorable mention for the lobster sauce: special.

09/08/2025: Attention to detail, dishes carefully crafted and executed to perfection. Superb wait staff. Everything was delicious, from appetizers to dessert. Compliments to the entire staff!

18/08/2025: For the feast of Santo Rocco, a group of about 30 friends and I ordered pizzas from this pizzeria. I personally chose a Norma pizza. The dough was very chewy and tough, and once it cooled, the pizza was practically inedible. The eggplant on top of my pizza was completely charred—a detail hard to miss, especially considering the ricotta is added only later. Overall, a disappointing experience that definitely didn't leave a good impression.

31/07/2025: Good quality pizza... friendly and helpful staff... Clean and well-organized place

21/09/2025: We had the pleasure of being guests of some very dear friends who decided to celebrate their 25th wedding anniversary at this venue. We were pleasantly surprised and satisfied with the quality of the food and the courtesy of the staff. Highly recommended.

28/08/2025: Not great, especially on the plate.

24/11/2025: So on Friday evening I tasted pitoni and that focaccia and I found that it is the best focaccia and pitoni in Messina, I absolutely recommend readers to go, you will agree with me.

09/10/2025: The best traditional focaccia in Messina! An absolute guarantee!

16/11/2025: Spectacular restaurant, from appetizer to dessert, everything is top-notch. Top marks for the service, especially for Fatima, who was professional, kind, and knowledgeable. If you're looking for a place where you can eat divinely, surrounded by greenery, in an oasis of tranquility, and where you'll be truly pampered, go to La Porticella. Congratulations to everyone, truly!!! We'll definitely be back.

08/11/2025: I had lunch at the farmhouse, excellent welcome, excellent food, excellent service
