I migliori ristoranti in Messina

28/07/2025: Delicious, affordable, and fast pizza, and open even when everything else is closed. Wow, finally some vegetarian pizza with plenty of vegetables. And the tall, somewhat younger vendor is incredibly friendly and authentic, and speaks good English. Definitely worth a visit.

17/05/2025: I asked twice not to put oregano but they put it anyway. Ruined day

05/06/2025: Desserts below average, often stale, you can tell by the cream with the crepes, it happens when they have been there for a while. The male staff is incredibly rude, especially the gentleman at the cash register, I think the owner, rude and changes the prices (in fact they are not displayed, probably for this reason) based on the customer, if a tourist he is fooled. Messina certainly offers better, for the quality of the products, education and correctness.

28/04/2025: Unmissable granita, I repeat, absolutely perfect granita. Compliments to the staff; I am grateful to you for this taste experience

05/04/2025: A wonderful place, warm environment, kind staff, I fully recommend

29/03/2025: We paid 50€ each for 6 people (300€ total) for a normal meal of normal quality, with less than excellent service. We also included a hamburger in the bill that we neither ordered nor ate (which was clearly removed from the bill after our observation). This is absolutely not a place that could allow such an expensive bill. Never again will I dine here.

11/05/2025: I have never been to this pizzeria, but I made two home orders. Delivery was on time, hot pizzas. I find the prices very honest without sacrificing the quality of the ingredients.

27/03/2025: It's the third time I've ordered at home and every time it arrives late and is also postponed, today I ordered at 7.05pm with delivery at 8.30pm via just eat, the restaurant moved the delivery to 9pm and I didn't say anything, at the time of delivery there was a 5 minute delay, I send a delay notification and they tell me that the order is being prepared and will be delivered at 9.25pm, I call the restaurant and the answering machine, I wait for 9.25pm ​​and the order is still late, I call the restaurant at 9.30pm to get news and the rider had yet to leave. Delivery made at 9.37pm. It's not done like that!

24/06/2025: La mia esperienza in questo ristorante è stata decisamente negativa. Il pesce crudo, che avrebbe dovuto essere il punto di forza del menù, era chiaramente al limite di freschezza, se non passato. Il rapporto qualità-prezzo è inaccettabile: prezzi alti per piatti privi di gusto, mal bilanciati e dall’aspetto trascurato. L’estetica è trascurata, con accostamenti discutibili e una cura inesistente per i dettagli. Inaccettabile poi trovare nel piatto il carapace del granchio lasciato lì senza alcun criterio: una scelta di pessimo gusto, che compromette sia la fruibilità del piatto che l’esperienza complessiva. Unica nota positiva, la possibilità di cenare all’esterno con vista sulla piazza. Peccato che anche questa venga rovinata da una postazione scomodissima, con tavoli così stretti da rendere difficile l'accesso

22/06/2025: Molto deludente. I balconcini panoramici sulla piazza, sono piccolissimi e scomodi. I decantati piatti di pesce senza carattere, sapori slegati e, per questo, ingiustificatamente costosissimi . Spaghetti all'astice meno che mediocri, della pasta tipo gnocchetti con broccoli e gamberi rossi di Mazara, con gamberi senza sapore assolutamente non freschi ed affogati in un incomprensibile sugo con broccoli che induce seri interrogativi sul percorso formativo dello chef. Insipidi e malamente riscaldati gli antipasti. Dulcis in fundo, cannoli siciliani insignificanti ripieni solo ai lati, con cannolo praticamente per lo più vuoto. Il conto è stato il colpo di grazia 241 euro in due. Questo ristorante è un enorme bluff.

15/06/2025: An experience to forget. During an end-of-year school dinner, the owner was apparently helpful but false and unclear. Initially, she made separate tables when it was clearly stated that the table was for 25. Once this was resolved, there was a problem with the air conditioning, so these poor 25 adults and children were hosted in a room without air conditioning. Finally, she kept the 6 kg ice cream cake in a poorly functioning freezer or fridge and served it completely melted. I understand that you may have difficulties, but you must be clear from the start. Sometimes a customer returns just because you have been honest with him. For me, choosing this place was a mistake!

15/06/2025: I never write negative reviews about places because I know how difficult this job is. It's the first time I'll do it because our experience in this place was unpleasant due to the attitude of the owner who told us "yes" to everything during the reservation and then "knew nothing" of our very simple requests (such as a single table for the teachers and the students, a case of celiac disease, the agreement on the price, the requests to turn on the air conditioning, at the end the ice cream cake completely melted even though they were asked several times to put it in the freezer). We chose this place for the final dinner of the class and we were wrong. Now I know that the phrase most used by the owner: "No problem" is a sign of serious problems. If you book there and hear: "No problem", it means that you will have many.

22/07/2025: La Scala restaurant in Taormina! The paccheri carbonara was delicious, as was the fried calamari. The staff was friendly and attentive, and the service was fast and impeccable. The atmosphere was made even more pleasant by the live music.

15/07/2025: The place is nice but the cocktails are not good

14/07/2025: Yesterday, 07/13/2025 on Sunday, at lunchtime, we went to Tortuga based on old memories, and it was closed 😳 for us it was a disappointment. Something must have changed since the last time we were here. The restaurant's GoogleMaps schedule says open! Keep in mind, if you plan to have lunch here, you may leave hungry!

12/06/2025: The dishes that my wife and I ate today at Tortuga Ristorante Pizzeria were very good. And it was the Capriccioza salad and the Chicken meatballs in tomato sauce with pieces of bread and baked potatoes. The meatballs melted in your mouth and the tomato sauce was very good. The same with the baked potatoes. They were very well prepared. Roasted on top and soft in the middle. The Capriccioza salad prepared with fresh vegetables and eggs. Unfortunately, the rating is 4 due to the price level for such dishes. In comparison to the neighboring restaurants where we have also been, the price is poor. For the meatballs that I ate today, the price of 15 euros is too high. I also rate the atmosphere as 4 because for us the music was loud and there were only two tables occupied, so such a loudness was unnecessary. To sum up, the food was very good but we were there for the first time during our stay and we will not go back there due to the price level of these dishes offered.

30/06/2025: This (historic) bar in Taormina; family-run; does not present itself with sumptuous furnishings; nor will you find large spaces for parking; but once you enter all this will simply be irrelevant. On the contrary, you will find the real Sicilian brioche; combined with the real lemon granita; you will find the traditional wonderful mignon pastry; you will find first courses made as you would make them at home; you will find low and regular costs; and you will find that kindness and courtesy of the owner; which is typical, and intrinsic to us: true Sicilians.

29/06/2025: Kind and polite staff, pleasant aperitif, genuine and traditional Sicilian food. I recommend it.

18/07/2025: Three of us arrived at 9:00 PM with no welcome. We called the waitress twenty minutes later and she set the table for us, brought us the menu, and ordered the pizzas. After complaining to the waitress twice, at 10:30 PM I got up and went inside to find out when we'd be served. When I asked, the pizza chef, in the presence of the owner, responded aggressively and arrogantly, saying he was taking it. Finally, at 10:50 PM, the pizzas arrived, badly made, with unleavened dough and poorly melted cheese. Finally, after eating half of our pizzas, we went to the cashier to pay, and the pizza chef, in the presence of the owner and some customers who were leaving without even receiving their plates, slapped his hands over our faces, saying he'd done his best and that customers never have a right to complain. In any case, I wouldn't recommend this place to anyone who wants to visit.

17/07/2025: An hour wait for 3 pizzas, a restaurant not recommended.

13/06/2025: Food was so fresh and delicious

12/06/2025: 2 children's pizzas and three small drinks cost us €35.50. We were left half hungry.

05/07/2025: La pizzeria del Siciliano a Montalbano Elicona,ci ha riservato una piacevolissima sorpresa. Da tempo si racconta della presenza sul territorio di una prelibatezza gastronomica eccezionale: il tartufo nero. Personalmente so per certo che sul finire degli anni settanta venne condotto un esperimento di impianto di tartufo in diversi appezzamenti di noccioleto, dopodiché il silenzio per quasi cinquanta anni. Ed ecco la sorpresa La pizza alla montalbanese, con provola, funghi porcini e...il tartufo nero di montalbano. Bravissimo il pizzaiolo e bravo Vincenzo... Ad maiora.

14/05/2025: Personnel hyper gentil. Nourriture exquise, locale et d'excellent rapport qualité prix . Les champignons, les ravioli et les desserts à la pistache. Miam miam

06/07/2025: Calogero welcomes you in his typical trattoria and enchants you with his cuisine with authentic flavors where each dish has top quality ingredients. Absolutely recommended!

06/07/2025: As always Calogero surprises you..... Among the many good things the Fried Salvia Not to mention the first and second courses Exceptional

02/06/2025: Very kind guys. Good food. I would say super approved.

19/05/2025: I liked the kebab, the guys are friendly and fast, but the place needs urgent modernization works. Come on guys.

10/10/2024: Beautiful cocktail bar on the sea... Courtesy and friendliness are the setting for a super location Very clean and well looked after..

10/09/2024: Good kiosk service, perhaps a little expensive, excellent Messina-style iced coffee.
