Restaurants in Messina

  1. A

    Duck

    This noisy bar/restaurant is about the most authentic pub in Sicily, with a well-priced menu and a long wooden bar crammed full of young professionals. Steaks are the big thing here; it is a mistake to order anything else.

    Da Piero

    A classy restaurant frequented by well-heeled Messinese. It’s an excellent place to try the typical swordfish agghiotta, flavoured with pine nuts, sultanas, garlic, basil and tomatoes. Reservations are essential.

    Osteria del Campanile

    This cosy hostelry with its warm wooden interior is a good choice if you are up near the cathedral. In summer, tables flood the outside area. Again, swordfish is the highlight of the menu.

    Opposite the Ustica Lines hydrofoil dock, this fish restaurant is popular with locals. Antipasti are laid out buffet-style – a delicious mixture of fish and vegetables.
