"Senza rivali nella realizzazione di Pidoni. Prima di imboccare lo svincolo di Giostra per Messina Nord - Villafranca T. o Messina Boccetta, Centro, Gazzi, San Filippo, Messina Sud ... Tappa obbligoaltoria."

"Solo il nome è una garanzia di qualità. Pitoni fritti eccellenti e disponibili in diverse tipologie. Molto gentile la ragazza alla cassa che prende le ordinazioni. Alla prossima da un vostro affezionato cliente sin dalla storica sede a Portella Castanea."

Daniele Ersini 5 month ago

"Che i pitoni siano, a mio avviso, di ottima qualità e assolutamente buoni è la storia che trae origine da tanti anni di esperienza ma quello che mi preme sottolineare è che dopo avere acquistato 10 pitoni tradizionali senza acciughe e prosciutto e formaggio, arrivati a tavola ci rendiamo conto che erano tutti con acciuga. Ritornati in rosticceria il titolare ci accoglie sostituendo i pitoni e chiedendo ripetutamente scusa per il suo errore. Nella realtà questa dovrebbe essere la regola ma non sempre il ristoratore ammette scusa per il proprio errore. Morale della storia, bravi e complimenti per come vi siete comportati."
