I migliori ristorantinella città Itala della Messina

15/07/2025: We went to Pizzeria La Giara in Itala Superiore and I have to say it was a great experience! I tried a truly delicious Norma pizza, with fresh ingredients and authentic flavors, and a tuna and onion pizza, well-topped and easy to digest. Special compliments to the lady who welcomed us with kindness and friendliness and served us attentively: it makes enjoying such a delicious pizza in a welcoming and quiet place even more enjoyable. We'll definitely be back!

27/06/2025: Excellent pizza restaurant. Best pizza in Peloritani. Difficult to manage the heat in the dining room.

05/07/2025: One night stay, very pleasant. Nice rooms, beautiful gardens and a fair breakfast. Very friendly and helpful staff. Recommended.

05/07/2025: We were there for lunch and were placed under a cover made of wood and bamboo canes. It was very hot, luckily two large fans moved the air and created some relief. The place is really nice, it works a lot with tourists and this unfortunately is reflected in the dishes. There were many of us and we were able to try a bit of everything on the menu, so I can "push myself further" with the reviews. But I would start with the service to which I gave two stars: there were only us, a table of twelve, a few tables that in the meantime were finishing lunch. We arrived around 13:10 and to have lunch with appetizers and some first courses plus dessert we had to wait a long time which the heat did not help. The appetizers started to arrive around 14:/15-20, the first courses around 15. Drinks were served immediately and obviously reheated in the meantime of the wait, but luckily ice was served, but on request. An appetizer mentioned red shrimp and some prawns were served, probably Argentinian, obviously frozen products and not fresh. An explanation was asked about this topic, but the answer was not very polite and unfortunately very far-fetched. We didn't want to insist, the incongruity was obvious to everyone and at the table there was my dear little sister, a cooking expert as well as sous chef and wife of a well-known chef from Salento with a long experience. Moving on to the dishes, all in all some were really good: the caponata, the burratine (they could have added a few more peppers and perhaps mentioned the presence of ricotta mousse on the menu), the prawns themselves were good. A little less so the seafood salad, which although presented really well, had very hard cuttlefish and was not very pleasant to chew; the crouton with squid was instead with octopus cut into strips, also an incongruity here, but apart from this it was really hard to chew. Orecchiette good, but the sauce was a bit acidic. Black spaghetti very good and so was the grill. The wait for desserts was long, however the tiramisu was good, the sgroppino not to be judged, served unmixed and without a teaspoon to make it ourselves. Mango sorbet: although the sorbet was good, the mango (still frozen) had no flavor. I hope they fix a few details to reach a level that is certainly higher and within the reach of the structure. The service needs to speed up a lot and I don't dare to imagine the times it would have taken if it had been full.
