If the craving for an excellent meal of fresh fish paired with a chilled, fine sparkling wine is tickling your taste buds, what better choice than a menu that will make you feel as though you’re in a tavern overlooking a little Greek harbour or in an exclusive restaurant on the Costa Smeralda? Milan offers an incredibly rich variety of venues capable of pairing trendy locations with top quality ingredients, starters and main courses with the most authentic flavour and scent of the sea. Has anyone ever told you that this is precisely where you’ll find the freshest fish in Italy?
It’s not just an urban legend, but should our word not be enough for you, here’s a selection of the best fish restaurants in Milan. Close your eyes and let yourself be lulled by the sound of the waves, between tradition and culinary flair.
LANGOSTERIA
Via Savona, 10
Langosteria is the project of Enrico Buonocore, which began with a venue on Via Savona and has grown to open three locations in Milan: a restaurant, a bistro and a café whose name has now become famous. If you’re someone who loves certainties in life, you simply must try the King Crab, Langosteria’s signature dish, always available and recommended all year round. If, on the other hand, you prefer to discover new flavours, let the menu inspire you and you won’t be disappointed. Langosteria Bistrot, recently renovated, is the perfect place for a formal dinner devoted to the sea and to good taste. Langosteria Café, located in the elegant Galleria del Corso at the foot of the Duomo, will be the ideal backdrop for any moment of the day thanks to the eclecticism that only the centre of a dynamic city like Milan can offer. And should you find yourself missing Langosteria’s signature fish cuisine during your holidays, all you’ll have to do is plan a day trip to Liguria to enjoy it with a sea view at the Paraggi location.
FOOD WRITERS
Via Domenico Millelire, 14
Just a stone’s throw from San Siro, this restaurant, relatively new to the Milanese scene, has already won over both public and critics (the very food writers it’s named after, present company included) thanks to its elegant, minimalist style but above all to its incredible offering of raw fish of the highest quality, among which numerous varieties of oysters stand out. But far be it from us to downplay the excellence of the charcoal-grilled dishes, another mainstay of the restaurant and the true “playing field” of chef Claudio Rovai. The latter, drawing on experience at the side of Mattias Perdomo, first at Contraste and then at Exit, has brought to this corner of San Siro a care and respect for quality ingredients, prepared with traditional techniques but reinterpreted in an innovative key and, as a true Tuscan, his innate passion for charcoal cooking. Among the highlights of the menu are the bluefin tuna marinated in gin, Patanegra lardo and brioche bread, as well as the oyster alla milanese, dutifully breaded, or the simple (but never banal) Benedetto Cavalieri spaghetti with charcoal-grilled clams and the quail leg and red prawn with plum umeboshi. The cellar also deserves a mention, celebrating the local territory and the savoir-faire of small artisanal producers, with an eye to their neighbours across the Alps.
TRATTORIA DEL PESCATORE
Via Atto Vannucci, 5
We arrive in Sardinia, or rather, Sardinia arrived in Milan more than forty years ago, when Trattoria del Pescatore opened its doors and soon established itself as one of the best restaurants in the city specialising in seafood cuisine. A place not to be missed, where everything is fragrant with tradition (from the typical loaves of bread to the Sardinian pecorino offered at the end of the meal), the ingredients are extremely fresh and the atmosphere is informal, convivial and relaxed. The Catalan-style lobster, the signature dish that made the venue famous, is an absolute must. Reservations are plentiful and the tables always full. But fear not. A new space adjacent to the main one has recently opened, the Pescatore Lobster Bar, where you can enjoy exceptional raw seafood as well as other specialities paired with a selection of gin and vermouth or wines by the glass, with no need to book.
A’RICCIONE
Via Taramelli, 70
Milan can boast venues that have marked its history to the point of being recognised as Historic Establishments by the City Council and the Chamber of Commerce. A’Riccione is an illustrious example. Born in 1926 with the idea of introducing fish to Milanese tables, this restaurant boasts a tradition that makes it one of the most renowned addresses for raw seafood and beyond. Currently under the guidance of the Di Paolo brothers, A’Riccione guarantees quality, variety and above all freshness of ingredients, served in a welcoming yet refined setting. It has recently doubled up with the opening of A’Riccione Bistrot, in the Monumentale district, specialising in oysters and raw seafood as well as in the preparation of the dishes that made this name great.
DA GIACOMO
Via Sottocorno, 6
Another address with a great tradition, the restaurant Da Giacomo was founded in 1958 by the Tuscan-born chef Giacomo Bulleri, before moving to its current premises in the 1990s. Its loyal, often international clientele can enjoy a predominantly fish-based menu, made up of dishes capable of bringing the tradition of seafood cuisine to the table. The venue, refined and full of sophisticated details such as stuccoes, arches and boiseries, transports its visitors into an extremely romantic atmosphere of times gone by. It’s impossible not to mention the Giacomo location with a view of the Duomo: Giacomo Arengario enjoys an exceptional position, perfect for an important dinner and for impressing your guests. Here too, fresh fish, reinterpreted in a contemporary key, will not be lacking.
TERRAZZA CALABRITTO
Viale Monte Grappa, 7
Ring the bell at Terrazza Calabritto: yes, because here, once they’ve announced themselves, guests are welcomed into a private dimension, as if they were stepping into a friend’s penthouse, allowing them to leave behind the Milanese hustle and immerse themselves in a captivating gastronomic experience. A few steps from Corso Como, this establishment, born in the Neapolitan capital, now also brings traditional Neapolitan culinary culture beneath the Madonnina, centred on quality ingredients but with a surprisingly bold and contemporary interpretation. The menu, focused on fish, explores marine savouriness in all its forms, with a particular fondness for raw dishes, with plateaux of oysters, langoustines and lobsters, moving on to specialities such as the vermicelli with spider crab served directly in the shell, the classic garlic, oil and chilli pasta reinterpreted with the scents of the sea, the Italian-style ceviche, the crispy buffalo mozzarella with a marine heart. There’s also a striking bar counter serving excellent international cocktails, where you can also sit just for an aperitif, accompanied, if you wish, by a small plateau of seafood.
BIANCA
Via Bartolomeo Panizza, 10
The location, entirely white, is what gives this restaurant its name and uniqueness, with its internationally designed furnishings. Fish, the undisputed star of the menu and always extremely fresh, is the foundation for the development of an idea of rigorously Italian cuisine, capable of evoking the scents and flavours of tradition. There’s no shortage of raw dishes, which also lend themselves perfectly to accompanying a tasting of the drinks prepared by the bartender, ideal as an aperitif or after dinner. The restaurant also allows you to dine outdoors on the veranda of the inner courtyard.
LA RISACCA 6
Via Marcona, 6
The VIP Osteria La Risacca 6 has been serving fresh, quality fish in the Cinque Giornate district since 1982. A venue with spacious surroundings, where you can enjoy specialities that change with every season according to what the sea has to offer. You can try the tasting menu, which includes the restaurant’s most representative dishes, or choose directly from the menu, which offers a great variety of ingredients and types of cooking and preparation. Special mention goes to the raw section, which includes not only tartares and carpaccios but also plateaux royales with oysters of different varieties, sea truffles and sea urchins, all to be paired with one of the prestigious labels available in the cellar.
AL PORTO
Piazza General Antonio Cantore, (former toll house)
Among Milan’s historic seafood restaurants, Al Porto cannot be missing; since 1967 it has been located in the former toll house of Porta Genova and is today even more highly regarded following the reopening of the Darsena. This venue boasts over 50 years of family management: a story of love for cooking and for quality ingredients that has succeeded in bringing the dishes of the Versilia tradition to the Lombard capital. The venue, with its nautical style, has recently been renovated to restore the splendour of a place so symbolic for the city. Begin your dinner with a fresh fish starter, letting yourself be carried away by the flavours of the sea and the passion of your hosts.rble tables, and a relaxed yet classy atmosphere are the perfect setting for this innovative concept.
