Osteria del Campanile

This restaurant was recommended by our tour guide as the, "best around" and I agree. The ravioli, and seafood was incredible. Highly recommend. See photos.

So fortunate to have found this place - location perfect and excellent food

One of the best meals I’ve had in Italy and one of the best plates of pasta I have had in a restaurant. Everything was fresh and homemade. We had the grilled swordfish and the spaghetti with swordfish, capers and olives. Everything was delicious and the servings were more than enough. Menu was very clear with English translations and allergens. Couldn’t recommend this place enough.

A local recommended this as a best place to have Sicily’s signature dish pasta alla Norma.

I ordered the gnocchi, and the tomato spaghetti with basil. The gnocchi tasted like my mom used to make. Oh my God, I died and went to heaven so good.

My favorite restaurant in Messina. I visit the region few times a year and know this place since 2022. I am happy to say they did not change 😊. Everything I love this place for is still the same- welcoming and caring staff, cozy environment and the food .....beyond compare .....soooo..so delicious. Strongly recommend.

The food quality quite fine. The most issue is that the waiter manner was not professional at all. They bring me the Coca Cola and just put it on the table with bottle, the young waiter walking in front of me all the time that I was eating my dinner which make me very uncomfortable. Anyway you can try it as last option in Messina

Awesome food, great setting service was amazing couldn’t recommend highly enough

For a delicious meal and Messina beer on tap, check out this awesome restaurant right near the duomo! My family and I had the seafood sampler which wasn't bad--probably would not order again. We really enjoyed the Pappardelle pasta though and I highly recommend that. There doesn't seem to be too much to do in Messina but if you find yourself here for some reason, I think this is the place to be!

We were visiting Messina for the day on a cruise. Stumbled upon this gem near the Piazza Del Duomo. Had the most amazing lunch sitting outside. If you're looking for an authentic, reasonably priced and delicious restaurant, this is it! Everyone was super nice and patient with us since the menus are in Italian. Enjoy!

Really a great place! Especially in contrast to the alternatives around! The food is really tasty and also the house wine is not bad. If you around you should give it a try. It happens that you find cruise ship officers there for lunch ;)

Authentic Italian restaurant away from all of the tourists! The food here is absolutely delicious! The prosciutto crudo is amazing!

Good meal in Sicily. I seriously don't even remember the names of the food that we got. Wife's meal - Spaghetti w/ spicy tomato sauce and various seafood. Me - Spaghetti w/ Swordfish in a tomato sauce. Both meals were delicious, but my wife's meal was far superior, and I found myself eating off her place too. I believe the meal was around 25 euro w/ a bottled water, so affordable and worth it. I'd dine here again for sure. They also have free wi-fi. My wife also left her iphone here, and we came back over an hour later. They had it there waiting for us and all was good!
