Villa Carlotta - Messina

Translation: "Un servizio impeccabile, ma la vera differenza in sala la fanno Alberto e Luigi, che anticipano i tuoi bisogni. Una cena squisita, complimenti al cuoco, rapporto qualità prezzo eccellente. Ci tornerò."

Absolutely amazing restaurant! The service, food, and atmosphere were just perfect. You must try the Sicilian style fish, it was the best fish I had in Sicily in the week that I was here. Every table can see the ocean but of course the tables directly next to the windows are better for photos. We noticed that the locals tend to have dinner much later, from 8pm, so if you arrive earlier you get more tables to choose from. It's slightly on the pricey side but it's worth visiting at least once.

Absolute best Carbonera I’ve had! The scenery is incredible. This is a definite must visit.

We had such a lovely evening at this restaurant. Luigi our waiter was so happy, attentive and was wonderful at explaining everything I'm English. Staff were fantastic! The food was delicious, tuna tartar needed a bit more seasoning but it was all yummy and wine great too! Thanks for a special evening for my birthday x

Absolutely incredible food here- had dinner twice during our stay and Luigi and the rest of the team could not have been more attentive I had two different pastas and the lamb, all were fantastic and I’d have them all again! The homemade bread is delicious too and they use lots of local ingredients Staff offered fantastic wine suggestions and made great cocktails! Great views of the water and the sunset also. We ate from the lighter menu at lunch twice and had great pizza with very fresh ingredients. Very lucky to have had this incredible restaurant in our hotel but would definitely recommend a visit even if you are not staying there
