I migliori ristoranti in Messina

25/03/2025: Good pizza, terrible phone service. Landline number non-existent, mobile number disconnects the call on its own. Impossible to book!!

11/09/2025: Delicious focaccia, like few others know how to make it. High-quality arancini and pitoni. It's among the best in town 👏👏

10/09/2025: Historic bakery in Torre Faro, a charming village and hamlet of Messina. During the summer, many locals and vacationers enjoy the aromas produced by Panificio Arena. Seeing is believing! Just take a number and after a short wait you can order from the menu. From the various types of bread, to the pastries and rustic pastries that can be made to order. The summer season is almost over, but I plan on returning, drawn by that smell of freshly baked bread. The staff, managed by the owners, are very attentive and are happy to offer advice on possible purchases. I repeat: Seeing is believing!

08/10/2025: The worst food in Italy, ever. We've been traveling to Bella Italia for years. At least the landlady gave us a discount.

07/09/2025: Bad experience. Terrible service, long wait. Food was decent. Too expensive for what's on the set menu.

01/08/2025: Accueil et service catastrophiques. Personnel et responsable arrogants et irrespectueux, à la limite du tolérable . On nous a demandé 4x si on voulait le restaurant ou la pizzeria en sous sol . Le repas était bon , mais ce comportement gâche tout . Les tables avec vue sur la magnifique terrasse ne sont pas accessibles au commun des mortels. Je déconseille fortement ce restaurant .

30/07/2025: Visited Granduca in July 2025 on the anniversary of our wedding. Especially especially as we had our wedding meal here 22 years ago to the day. First issue was they couldn’t find our booking despite us going in a week earlier and booking our table. That was sorted and we were sat in a very nice seat overlooking the bay. Food was good, not brilliant but was okay. Service was shocking. So unfriendly, unwelcoming and downright snobby. We will not be returning.

25/08/2025: Beautiful location, but rude, uninterested, and incompetent staff. It's impossible that in the middle of August there's no way to heat up a plate of roast potatoes, so we had to eat them cold. The restrooms are appalling, management definitely needs to be changed. The location has great potential, but it's not being fully exploited.

23/08/2025: Cold food, lazy, incompetent and rude staff, indecent toilets.

17/10/2025: We had a very pleasant evening here - this place is casual non-pretentious and relaxed. We had lasagne, salad and deserts. Salad was fresh and tasty. We loved the ice cream in a cup too. With beer and wine and a reasonable bill - what is there not to like?

16/10/2025: To each his own. But our food and experience was excellent.

10/11/2025: A welcoming and elegant venue with a good selection of cocktails and well-prepared dishes. The atmosphere is pleasant and the service is friendly. Ideal for a quiet evening or aperitif with friends. Overall, a good experience that deserves four stars.

31/05/2025: Good food quality but abnormal timing 1 hour and a half for a pizza and 3 first courses and the starter arrived after half an hour. Note that the place has a maximum of 25 lids when ordering. Staff mortified by the situation.

15/07/2025: Pros: beautiful view, spacious room (we took 2 apartments with a kitchen and a balcony with a sea view), there is a private beach and a bar. The price is low if you book 2-3 months in advance Cons (they have a paid parking, to get to it you need to cross a stream by car, the garbage was not removed for 4 days, I won't even mention the cleaning. Although there is a beach with a shower and toilet, there are very large stones there. On the very first day after we arrived, they tried to put us in another room worse than the one we booked, trying to blame Booking for this.

01/07/2025: Only stress! Disappointing we do not recommend Unfortunately very disappointing () We arrived at the facility And our reservation was not recorded They assigned us a room Where there was a broken bed And other problems with electricity even cold water They re-let us The next day in another apartment worse than the first In the double bed There were not even slats Shower completely dirty We returned to the first Apartment During the Night the air conditioner rained on our daughter's bed with power outlets near the bed A real danger .. we requested a TOTAL refund OUR ENTIRE HOLIDAY WAS RUINED .. at the moment if they don't fix the apartments It is not an accessible facility they should close it and fix it .. because we pay and want to have the services Never again....

26/07/2025: Good variety of products, from breakfast croissants to classic biscuits, various types of bread, and even rustic pastries and focaccia. Satisfactory quality, friendly and courteous staff. I also had the opportunity to try the Too Good to Go box, a generous quantity with a variety of products, especially for breakfast. I absolutely recommend it.

04/06/2025: Congratulations, excellent pizza, and excellent price, first time I have the pleasure of trying your pizza and I was satisfied, I would definitely recommend your place, I will be happy to return 😉

08/10/2025: Nice parking lot before you leave for the ferry to Messina. It's a bit dirty, like everywhere in Italy. Nobody tries to keep it clean and maintain cleanliness throughout the country...!!! I saw several young men and women throwing their coffee cups and water bottles under the cars in the parking lot... then they start the cars and leave as if nothing had happened...!!! It's all a matter of Culture and proper upbringing...!!! Nothing personal against you, the Cultural People of Italy...!!! I LOVE Italy...!!! From your Uncle Vanya...!!! 😉😉😉😊😊😊

14/08/2025: The bar staff are friendly and polite, but there's no air conditioning. Dirty bathrooms, urine on the floor, a dirty bar, a rundown building, and closed and unusable parking bins. Not welcoming to tourists. The bar staff are friendly and polite, but there's no air conditioning.

16/11/2025: Went in to get an ice cream, the service was great and people were nice. The ice cream was €5 a cup, we could mix two flavors in one cup. The cups were pretty big (we said we wanted a small variant though). There's only one lactose-free option (apparently) - lemon ice cream (see the photo, pink spoon). The other cup contains melon flavor, which was awesome, and coffee, which was average. (And a spoon of cherry flavor as a taste test.)

16/10/2025: Nothing to complain… at least cafeteria seems to be better than average level here.

19/09/2025: I sat down for a Coke with friends, and it was brought to me piping hot with a glass of ice! But the absurd thing is that I paid €10.00 for it! A rip-off! But can you pay for a Coke that costs €1 with a 100% refill? Kudos to the owners!!!!!!

13/09/2025: Nice location, I went for dinner yesterday, September 12th, with a friend. What can I say? I'm used to eating in elegant places where the bill is quite high, and I'm not complaining about that. You pay for quality. Unfortunately, I didn't see anything high-quality in this place. Terrible service. We waited I don't know how long to order anything (not to mention the long wait after ordering). The waiter kept going about his business (there were only the two of us eating, there was another table having an aperitif, and the rest of the room was empty) instead of serving the tables. The food was truly awful. If you go to the all-you-can-eat restaurant in Milazzo, you'll eat better and spend 10 times less. I looked for an exclusive place to eat excellent fish and ended up starving with truly subpar and overpriced fish. Highly not recommended. Get a pizza instead, trust me.

30/08/2025: I won't go there again, as if it were the last bar on the island! The owner is arrogant and very rude! I walked in politely asking where the bathroom was, and he replied that the bar was for customers only! When I told him I was, his response? "I don't know. You have to prove it to me." We told him that if he gave us time to order, we were definitely customers. He thought we'd just come in to use the bathroom without buying anything. It's a shame for the guys outside who are pushed around like crazy, because they were very kind... The owner? Change him.

20/08/2025: The man at the cashier was arrogant and the food was really poor.
