Famulari's Rotisserie

Typical products from Messina's rotisserie

History and authentic Sicilian flavors

Famulari Rosticceria in Messina is a place that combines tradition, passion, and authentic flavor. Founded in September 1986 by Salvatore Famulari, the rosticceria was born from the renovation of an old bar on Via C. Battisti, which quickly became a neighborhood favorite thanks to its attention to quality ingredients and warm hospitality. With sacrifice and dedication, the Famulari family transformed a small space into a historic and renowned establishment, capable of expressing the gastronomic culture of Messina with every dish. The typical products of Messina's rosticceria have thus become a reference point for those seeking quality and authenticity at every occasion.

A taste that has made the history of our family and our city

The heart of the offering is the arancini, prepared in a wide variety of ways: with ragù, butter, pistachio, and many other recipes that surprise every day. Added to these are the fragrant and flavorful rustici, ideal for a quick snack or to enhance buffets and refreshments.
