Trattoria del Pescatore

The freshest seafood in the city and the best service hands down! This family owned and operated restaurant is a must visit. The owner and his sons took excellent care of us. Can’t wait to go back! Make sure to make reservations early they get full quick.

A genuine Sardinian seafood restaurant with exceptionally fresh seafood and good, authentically Italian service. Booking well in advance is highly recommended.

Best seafood place in Milan and wider region. If you want to eat here you need to book weeks well in advance ! Great service and food.

Trattoria del Pescatore is a standout family-owned restaurant in Milan's vibrant dining scene, offering a warm, inviting atmosphere. The menu features classic seafood dishes like lobster Catalana and tender octopus with potatoes (polpo e patate), along with pristine raw scampi and shrimp (scampi e gamberi crudi) and high-quality Cantabrian anchovies (acciughe del Cantabrico). Each meal concludes with a serving of semi-soft pecorino, a thoughtful touch that complements a perfect meal. The attentive service adds to the charm, making Trattoria del Pescatore a perfect spot for anyone seeking a true taste of Milan.

As many others mentioned, it's always packed, and the food is delicious. We managed to reserve for lunch, and we're glad we did. Wonderful food and service. Bread was perfect for eating the sauce the mussels came with. Would eat here every day if I could. Thank you!

Food was delicious. Especially all the little side dishes before the main. As an east coast Canadian with lots of access to lobster, the lobster was good but I would skip it for myself next time. Even though it was an epic picture.

Excellent food very good quality very good service beautiful Milan place to go eat seafood

What an incredible experience. We got in at 9pm on a Thursday and it was completely packed with locals. In a restaurant with more than 80 people I couldn’t spot a single other tourist. The food was amazing - the best spaghetti vongole we’ve had (and we’ve had some really great ones!). Just look at the beautiful, plump clams in the picture. Despite being extremely busy, the food didn’t take long at all, and the waitstaff were friendly and polite. In fact we were treated with a complimentary plate of pecorino and a shot glass each of Sardinian liqueur. Keep in mind we don’t usually order very much at restaurants (only 2 pastas and 1 glass of wine between us), and they were so busy tonight. Amazing restaurant - they have really lived up to the great reviews!

Best seafood in Milan....No! Best seafood in the world. This restaurant is for foodies no doubt. This hidden gem is off the beaten path and probably for the locals too. Reservations are highly recommend and just walking in is not going to work. Every reserved table had a card with someone's name on it. However, since we were ignorant to the reservation requirements we begged and pleased and eventually the NYC charm worked. The owner Cristian embodies the term hospitable by seating us, engaging us in conversations and then leading our dinner like the conductor of an orchestra. He asked if we had any restrictions and the answer of NO seemed to be the exact guidance he needed. This Sardinian family owned business doesn't disappoint. Trattoria Del Pescatore serves up the most tantalizing plates of foods filled with the freshest ingredients and the most delicate tasting seafood I have ever eaten anywhere. This chef certainly has a magic touch and is adept at the use of seasoning and flavors. A trio of fish crudos along with raw langostines and raw shrimp was followed by a classic Octupus salad. Next came a broiled scallop encrusted in ground pistachio. Mussels in white wine was next as the parade of plates continued. Just as I thought if could not get any better came a plate of freshly made risotto with mixed seafood. I want to emphasize fresh because many restaurants tend not to make risotto fresh because it can taker upwards of 40 minutes. This risotto was pure perfection cooked Al dente and tasting like the sea. Everything served up to this point tasted like it had just come out of the ocean. Our final course was a lobster salad creation which is credited to restaurants in Sardinia however is modified by the local chefs addition of tomatoes and red onions. Legend has it that this variant has become so popular over the years that restaurants back in Sardinia have change their original recipes to match. I believe it. No matter what you order don't leave without ordering this dish. Our host was most generous as I believe this is his way of treating people who appreciate good food. The service all evening was a match to the food with waiters buzzing around and being attentive to every need. From clearing dishes, to serving food and refilling wine and water everything was done with a smile. I hope that this review acts as a signpost for this restaurant. "When in Milan eat at here now!"

Great food! Need to make a reservation in advance!! Not that friendly.. however housewine is good.

Honestly the next meal I have ever eaten in Milan and too 5 meals of a lifetime. You have to get the Vongole and the lobster with tomatoes. Perfect, everything was perfect.

Best fish restaurant in Milan. Great food, service and location. I've been there 5 times and it never fails to disappoint. You have to book in advance though!

A truly amazing place. The best seafood I have ever had. From mussels to lobster the preparation is flawless and the flavor is outstanding. A must for anyone who visits Milan

Excellent Seafood, excellent bread (which is rare for milan). A bit pricey, but whenever I come here I am usually not paying.

Absolutely one of the best places for fish that I have ever been to, the quality is really grand, the food is typical Sardinian-Catalan. It makes me remember of my grandmother, who lived in Alghero (Sardinia) and would not compromise on the quality of fish. Great place, highly recommended, reservation is a must.

Best seafood restaurant of milan in my opinion. The seafood pasta is to die for! Can't wait to go back.
