Trattoria accogliente situata a Torre Faro, Messina, con un ambiente curato e intimo. Il cibo, soprattutto il pesce, è di ottima qualità, e il personale si distingue per la cortesia. Un’esperienza che consiglio vivamente a chi desidera gustare la cucina locale in un’atmosfera piacevole.
Great food service a bit slow but food makes up for it
Location molto carina e suggestiva.. con terrazza che si affaccia sul lago di Ganzirri, il che dice già tutto! Accoglienza affabile e cordiale da parte della proprietaria e della cameriera, quest’ultima degna di nota nel supervisionare i dettagli e le esigenze del cliente. Abbiamo mangiato una frittura di pesce abbastanza abbondante per due persone ma la lode va sicuramente ai due primi, crema di pistacchio fatta in casa eccezionale e spaghetti con crema di patate, limone e cozze una delizia per il palato. Ci torneremo sicuramente!
Excellent fresh food. Large portions and reasonably priced. Wide selection of vegetarian dishes.
Non posso che dare 5 stelle a questo posto, perché ogni volta che ci vado è una garanzia! L’atmosfera è sempre calda e accogliente, ci si sente subito a casa e si sta benissimo. Il cibo è delizioso, preparato con tanto amore e tanta cura. Devo dirlo: la cuoca è la più brava di tutte! Ogni piatto è buonissimo, ma i maccheroncini alla Norma sono davvero insuperabili… non li mangerei da nessun’altra parte! Grazie di cuore per l’accoglienza, la gentilezza e per farci sentire parte di una grande famiglia. Non vedo l’ora di tornare per gustare di nuovo i tuoi piatti speciali!
A little gem hidden away. We stayed at Hotel Villa Morgana so this restaurant was ideally located just a 5 minute walk. We tried other restaurants in the area and they were either too full (you had to book in advance) didn’t want us in because we are English (haha ridiculous they took one look at us and said no) or were too far to walk to. We ended up eating here 4 nights out of 6. Each time we were not disappointed. The food was delicious, great portions and very reasonably priced. The staff were very friendly and made us feel really welcome. If we visit this area again, we will definitely be back!!
