Ristorante Il Consolare

great quality food and great service too, very traditional attention to customers. Seafood is really fresh. The overall environment falls behind the rest though. We had a very original dessert: flower shaped ice cream & cake, was more than enough for 3 to share.

Local gem. Owned by the same family for generations. Hard to fine quality seafood in a major inland city like Milan. This is where the locals go when they want fresh and well prepared seafood. This is an Italian restaurant for Italians. Behave and be humble and you’ll have a great evening. Owners wait the tables and are not so patient with first time visitors - relax go with the flow. If you must have things your way, this is not the place for you. Menus in English, but everything else is Italian or sign language. The food is prepared simply so the true favors comes through. The fried seafood - shrimp and squid - is terrific. The sea bass and sea bream are excellent. Across the tiny street is a fruit shop so the fresh fruit for dessert is perfectly ripe and tasty. The place opens at 8 pm and gets busy about 9:30 pm. This is in the very fashionable Brera area. Expect to pay 60-70 Euros for a multi course meal before wine.

Food was great. Pasta with mussels, and sea bream were delicious. However staffs couldn’t speak English or rather no English-speaking staff attended to us. As a result, our sea bream came in 3 portions instead of just 1, despite us repeating our order 2-3 times.

Great food, excellent spaghetti vongole e bottarga. Service wise it really depends on the day. Went on a weekday and it was superb but on the weekend several mistakes were made and service was a bot sloppy. Nevertheless overall a must try for good sea-food dishes in a cool setting and convenient location for Brera walks and antique shopping

This is the best restaurant I've been to during my stay in Milan. Hidden, Humble and super super local. Their Frutti di Mare is out of this world!

Really wanted to like it but the food didn’t follow through: the ambience and feel is very local and the patrons indeed were mostly Italian but the dishes were all very oily and this was one of the least favourite meals we had in Italy. Bread was not good either so a real deal breaker

Favourite see food pasta place in Milan. Very local and very casual. Milanese family go for Sunday lunch (dinner is closed on Sunday) which is nice, Definitely order Vongole or Frutti di mare spaghetti. I had these dishes in many places around Italy and it is for me my number 1. I only eat these two repeatedly.

Amazing dining experience. The restaurant is located in an ally close to duomo and Brera. The ambience wine food everything was amazing. We were a group of 10 people and pre booked a menu. It was a four course meal and choices were amazing. Highly recommendable.
