Panzakina

Panzakina sits close to the port and is a local favourite for fresh seafood — think grilled tuna steaks, classic pasta alla Norma with baked ricotta salata, and caponata done right. The space is polished without being stuffy, with a well-kept interior that feels a cut above the usual harbourside spot. If you're eating in Messina, this one's worth going out of your way for.
