La Cucina Di Riccobono in Metropolitan City of Messina

"Little tucked away. The service here is like everywhere in Taormina: on Sicilian time. However, the aglio y olio was fantastic. Rumors are the cured meats were also delicious, but they were wasted on me."

"We went here for dinner at 7:30pm on a Thursday night. (2) It has the most cozy feel, small indoor space and very inviting. The service was great. We ordered the eggplant Parmesan appetizer to start, after a month touring Europe, this was one of our favourite dishes. The sauce is very homemade, I need the recipe! It reminded me of an eggplant lasagna. We then shared the swordfish gnocchi and sea bass with garlic/white wine/tomato. They were both a 10/10 and healthy portions but nothing too over the top. A man with a ukulele came in and played a song during dinner which was a nice touch. We were too full for dessert, but everything that went out looked incredible. I would recommend making a reso to be safe. Definitely recommend!"

"Authentic Sicilian restaurant with local recipes and Sicilian cooks. Very nicely decorated with a calming atmosphere, quite clean with nicely placed tables, serviceable and very helpful staff. Reasonably priced menu with a variety of options. The food was amazing, flavours on point with a ravioli with pistachio sauce that was delicious. The tiramisu felt home made, melted in every bite."

"Wonderful atmosphere for an intimate dinner. Walked in with a group of 5 at 7:15pm without a reservation and were immediately seated. It got busier around 8pm. The entire night’s service was run by two incredibly warm and kind men, and we ordered a lot of food. Their minestrone soup of the day was incredibly delicious. The calamari was dry and clam linguini was a teensy bit bland, BUT the appetizer mussels were very tender and flavorful. For entrees we got that I recommend, the veal meatball with lemon leaves, pasta alla norma, Sicilian swordfish, and pasta with sardine and wild fennel were all absolutely delicious. Perfectly paired with their house wine."

"Truly delicious! Everything we ordered was incredible and made with love. We will definitely go back. At the end our our meal, we were served pistachio cookies fresh from the oven. There were not many people there, but don’t let that persuade you. Everything is truly delicious and homemade."

"Great restaurant with a relaxing atmosphere in a central location. Fresh seafood and delicious dishes, beautifully and carefully presented. The service is gentle, warm, and fast."

"We arrived here near to closing time but were greeted with warmth and a smile. We shared a jug of local white wine and Classic Bruschetto We also had the vegetarian macaroni dish and it was yummy."

"We had an enjoyable time there. We got there at 7pm and we were the first ones to come for dinner. People trickled in as it got closer to 8. I had the lasagna and enjoyed it and my wife had a ravioli in pistacho sauce that I really enjoyed. The owner/ waiter spoke English well and easily took our order and explained desserts to us."
