A delicious, light, and flavorful gluten-free pizza! I really enjoyed the dough. There are many other gluten-free alternatives; I also had some fries. The staff is very kind and attentive to contamination. The location is also very charming. I will definitely return.

Delicious and light gluten-free pizza! I believe the dough is made by them, and the staff is kind and attentive. Absolutely recommended.

Great pizzas both with and without gluten. The menu also includes alternatives to pizza. Courteous and attentive service. It's really worth it for an evening by the seaside!

The waves crashing on the beach, while you savor one of the best gluten-free pizzas ever, with the proud, charming Strait of Messina in the background... A dream! I must say that I believe this is the best pizzeria in Messina for 'glutenous' pizzas, but even the gluten-free ones are excellent. I highly recommend the margherita with buffalo mozzarella: add a drop of extra virgin olive oil and voilà, it will feel like being catapulted to Naples. Honestly, I’ve often heard that the level of safety regarding contamination can be somewhat lacking. I’ve never had issues during the two times I’ve eaten it, considering that I never develop excessive symptoms. We’ll see in the future!

We book at Barracuda at 9:30 PM for a table of 7 people. We arrive at 9:25 PM, find an endless line of people in front of us, and are told we have to wait. At 10:00 PM, we are still standing at the door in the crowd waiting, then finally we sit down. At 10:20 PM, no one has taken our order yet, not even for drinks, only two bottles of water. We urge a waiter and, finally, after multiple requests to order, he arrives with his tablet. A person clearly nervous and exhausted from work. Impartial advice: even employees with a lesser volume of people would be more cheerful with customers. We order a mixed fry which arrives after a short wait, about 15 minutes. The wait between the fry and the pizza was exhausting: the pizzas arrived at 11:40 PM. The gluten-free pizza had raw dough (attached photo). The regular pizzas are very good, and the price is excellent in terms of quality-price, but it’s not normal to go through a real ordeal to eat a pizza with you. Moreover, from the responses to reviews, I have only found attacks on the customer. Reviews should serve to improve, and if everyone complains about the same attitudes and the same problems, maybe the problem exists. But is it possible that after billions of reviews complaining about long waits, you still accept all these reservations, aware that people return because the food quality is good? A place should not only focus on profit but also on making the service impeccable in every way. You could be the best, too bad.

The place is very nice for dining by the sea. The service was fast. Prices I think are now in line with Messina 😅 Margherita for 8€ Attached is a photo of the gluten-free pizza I had (all pizza flavors can be made).

We ordered 7 pizzas, one of which was gluten-free, the Margherita priced at 8 euros and the gluten-free one with fries and sausage priced at 13. The regular pizzas were good, while the gluten-free one had a strange but good texture. The only downside is that the road to the place is bad.
