Rome and Messina best value

[Yamchargers]

We have 2 days in Rome and 1 in Messina. Looking for recommendations for lunch and dinner especially in Messina which obviously has less info online. Value authentic is what I would love to see. I want to eat what the locals or those in the know eat. If a chow hounder loves it I want to try it. Please recommend restaurant and dish. Thanks!

Here are a couple of possibilities for Messina from our Restaurant page, one Slowfood, one Gambero Rosso lowcost recommendation http://www.chow.com/search?query=&...

There are many many recommendations for good value restaurants on the Rome board, Id suggest reviewing what has been discussed and see what strikes your fancy, then asking about specific places.
