I migliori ristoranti in Messina

01/09/2025: I went in to get something to eat at 12pm and the counter was empty; just 1 arancini and a couple of rustici; when I asked if that was all there was or if something was supposed to come out, I was given a rather arrogant answer, as if I wanted to expect who knows what. Honestly, I had high expectations... Too bad.

21/08/2025: It's certainly an excellent service for those with gluten and lactose intolerance. However, the lack of courtesy, welcome, and friendliness from the counter staff makes the service mediocre and certainly doesn't reflect the sunny and welcoming nature of Sicilians.

13/09/2025: Good value for money. Delicious desserts and focaccia.

03/08/2025: Focaccia made with the old recipe, which is the best! Tasty and filling, congratulations!!

28/08/2025: Our experience at this place wasn't the best as a restaurant. It certainly works very well as a beach club, nightclub, or pub. The restaurant aspect leaves a lot to be desired. The paper menu consisted of an A4 sheet of printer paper (damp, to boot!) that wasn't very clear and lacked information about the dishes. The prices were truly outrageous for the portions presented on the plate. The atmosphere in the evening is too dark, making reading the "menu" quite a challenge. The service was another problematic aspect of the experience: at least five times we had to remind the staff to bring napkins (not laid out anyway), and asking for attention to place an order is practically impossible without shouting. In conclusion, the place should focus more on the beach club/nightclub/pub-bar aspect. The restaurant is completely lacking.

27/08/2025: Located on the Tyrrhenian coast of Torre Faro (ME), discovered by chance after hearing the neighbor under the umbrella talking about it. A quiet place for lunch, good food, and background music at the right volume. The beach could use some more upkeep, but overall it deserves top marks, given the kindness of the staff and the excellent selection of wines by the glass.

11/03/2026: Bad quality, extremely small portions, poor service. You will find way much better places nearby.

25/02/2026: There was no service for 40 minutes

07/09/2025: After a half-hour wait, even though the pizzeria wasn't crowded, no one showed up at the table. I got up to ask if it was possible to have at least two pizzas because we were in a hurry, and was told we'd have to wait a bit. They were offering takeout, so there were five of us, so we got up and left. Awful experience.

12/08/2025: I gave it one star because it's the only way to give it less. The worst experience of my life at a pizzeria. On Sunday, I was going to the beach with my sister and we decided to have dinner at this pizzeria. We sat down and waited the first 20 minutes to order (meanwhile, the couple who arrived after us were already ordering), but we attributed this to the fact that the waiter might have just been hired (but no, he's just incompetent and unprofessional like the rest of the employees here). We ordered, and my sister ordered a pizza without onions and without lactose. We ordered at 8:00 PM, and the pizzas arrived at 9:10 PM. Seeing that the pizzas hadn't arrived, we asked the waiter how long it would be so he could add some fries to the order so we could have something to eat during this interminable wait. The waiter told us we were next and took our order for fries. Needless to say, we weren't really next, and two tables of people who arrived after us were served. The pizzas arrived, and my sister's pizza (which, I recall, was onion-free and lactose-free) was covered in onion. My sister then asked if it was at least lactose-free, since she would have felt ill if she had eaten any. The waiter said he hadn't written in his order that it was onion-free (a very simple order with literally two pizzas), but the pizza was lactose-free... the result? My sister felt ill after the first bite. Halfway through the pizza, the fries arrived, which were actually a mixed (unsolicited) dish taken from another table because the portion was too small for the people next to them. The pizza was clearly lukewarm, so it must have been sitting on the counter waiting for at least a good 15 minutes. We finished and asked for a box to take home the remaining pieces and a coffee... we had to wait another 15 minutes! Hilarious. My sister went to ask someone else for them but was told, "Yes, I'm coming," but obviously no one showed up. After insisting, the box arrived, but not the coffee. We go to the register and my sister asks for coffee again. She arrives after another wait, and while she's drinking it, she starts to put the cup down on the saucer because the coffee was hot, and the bartender takes it out of her hands! So much so that my sister then had to shout at him and point out that she was still drinking it. Finally, we pay, and they weren't even giving us a receipt, so at that point we had to ask for one ourselves. You made us a terrible dinner, and you want to evade taxes on top of that. Next time, I'd rather starve than come to this place. The staff is rude and has zero empathy.

22/12/2025: Nice place, pleasant atmosphere, good food and fair prices

05/10/2025: I've been there a couple of times, and honestly, I go back whenever I can because, for me, it's one of the best places in the city center that offers a complete service. It's right in the center, easy to get to, well-maintained, and very clean. A good menu with a few dishes, all very good and well-prepared, thanks to the use of top-quality ingredients and, above all, the kitchen, expert and very professional chefs, always available. Once, I asked for something off the menu, and the chef personally came to the table to better understand my needs and satisfy them. The drinks are excellent, the bartenders are skilled, and there's a wide selection of bottles of all kinds that satisfy every need, even those who want to drink well. The entire staff is generally very knowledgeable and attentive, and everyone is always very friendly and helpful. The owners are also always present and very helpful and attentive to customers. The price, in my opinion, is fair, in line with what they offer.

02/12/2025: This cafe offers one of the most beautiful views in Taormina for a coffee break!!! I didn't want to rush, so I enjoyed my cup of coffee a little longer😊

23/11/2025: Half freezed tiramisu, one canoli and capuccino for 21€. Absolutely not worth it. Besides the view there was nothing else that we enjoyed.

05/12/2025: It's not true that they're open 24/7 but the pizza is good

04/11/2025: The place is nice, the people who work there know their job, they never make a mistake with an order, they are very quick with home delivery even when it is very crowded and even when they are there they are very fast, the food is not too expensive and is very good, I recommend it.

27/10/2025: Good pizza to take away. Friendly stuff. It was nothing special and original, but good and delicious. It is working late so it was very convenient.

12/09/2025: Went there at 22h and wanted to have a pizza to go. I’ve been told that they are closing, even though working hours are til midnight. Very dissapointing!

29/12/2025: Poor service (40 minutes for a sandwich and two ice creams, not even brought to the table despite the large number of customers), dirty atmosphere (you eat with the leftovers from the previous meal), and minimal staff compared to the number of customers. Not during peak hours.

26/12/2025: Bad experience. I specifically asked for Coke without ice at the drive-thru, but they served it with ice anyway. They also charged us 15 cents for the bag with handles, but we didn't get it. The bacon fries had very little bacon, almost none at all. The Crispy McBacon had half a slice of bacon, which was truly insufficient for what was included in the sandwich. Overall, little attention to customer requests and subpar quality.

03/01/2026: We waited 1 hour for 2 sandwiches, both of which were wrong.

30/12/2025: Sandwich with sausage and fries: the fries were inedible, they looked like they were left over from days ago (maybe the day before yesterday?). Sandwich with pork chops: there was only a hint of pork chops, basically just lettuce. After eating, I asked for a Coke. They told me €1.50; I calmly replied that I'd pay by card, and from that moment on, the attitude changed: annoyed looks, waiting for the card. Meanwhile, a man arrived and exclaimed in dialect: "A Coke ca catta?!" A completely inappropriate and disrespectful comment toward a customer. A shame, because the lady delivering the sandwiches was kind and polite. Otherwise, the service and quality of the food were decidedly disappointing. Learn to respect your customers: paying by card isn't a favor, it's a right. (I didn't take photos of the sandwiches.)

09/02/2026: Unfortunately, the focaccia was way overcooked, practically burned. This is a mistake you wouldn't expect from such a popular deli.

01/02/2026: I ordered an hour in advance via Just Eat, but the delivery was late and marked as delivered 30 minutes before it actually arrived. I went to the pizzeria to demand an explanation, but the person in charge wouldn't even let me speak and wanted us to pay again. The customer is king, but that doesn't seem to apply there.
