As @Paola P wrote, the place is beautiful without being overwhelming. Very competent and friendly staff. Fresh fish well prepared. I ordered as appetizer grilled sea scallops with Thai sauce. Hot but still very flavorful, given the seafood's freshness. Then steam-cooked sea bass with fresh ginger strips and scallions. Delicate and tasty, cooked to let all the fresh fish aromas dominate this main course. My friend had mussels with curry, garlic and chili. Hot and giant mussels, almost drank their delish broth!

Thankfully, a'Mare did not disappoint. I love a good seafood pasta and they delivered!! They had this special - seafood carbonara - which was truly chef's kiss. The seafood was all cubed up into small pieces and the sauce was exquisite. We also ordered a pasta with mussels and that didn't disappoint either. The round of Aperol spritzes was also amazing but they offer a lot of wine as well (which probably would've paired equally well with the pasta, but my heart was set on Aperol spritzes for my Italy vacation). Service was good - bathrooms were clean but tiny and could be better in my opinion. You also have to pay upstairs at the register rather than at your table. Definitely recommend checking this place out if you're close by and visiting the Duomo. It's approximately a 5 min walk away and worth it!

Grigliata mista (26€ = $28.50 USD) - I enjoyed the variety of freshly grilled fish this dish had to offer which included salmon, shrimp, and white fish. Fritto calamari gambino verde (22€ = $24 USD) - This consisted of lightly fried calamari, shrimp, and julienned squash and zucchini. The vegetables were so addicting and I appreciated that everything was prepared in a light batter. Overall, I really enjoyed the sea food here and the variety of offerings. I can see why this is a popular sea food spot!

A tip of the cappello to Yelp friend Francesco for recommending Zio Pesce. It is a lovely upscale…read moreyet casual restaurant. Zio Pesce means "uncle fish" and the decor is hip with fishing related objects on the walls, white table clothes and at least one waiter who translated the menu for us, answered all questions and ensured that not just the meal, but the evening was terrific. We started with a fabulous fish ceviche. Very fresh. Lovely flavor. Next we shared an order of bauletti. Bauletti means little trunks (think suitcases, not swimming). They are little squares filled, in this case, with cod. The bauletti are then cooked in a tomato sauce and bechamel sauce like you'd bake lasagna. It was great. The secondo was crispy octopus (polpo croccante). The octopus wasn't crispy but was grilled and coated with toasted bread crumbs and served on potatoes and greens. What great combination. All of the this was accompanied by cold, crisp lovely vermentino from Sardinia. For dessert we had super fresh strawberries with a lovely sauce I can no longer recall except to say that my mouth is watering thinking about it. This was a great meal and a great evening in a lovely ambience. Zio Pesce is the kind of restaurant you'd drive across town for in Washington or Atlanta or Toronto -- if you could get a reservation . Which brings me to the final point: you need to make reservation if you want to eat at Zio Pesce. The gentleman who answered the phone switched to English as soon as he heard my bad Italian.

Zio Pesce is a great choice to try fresh seafood in Milan…read more The most important thing to know about this place is that you NEED a reservation, otherwise the chances are that you can't get a table even during the week. I usually try the yellowfin tuna here, it's super delicious. The fish is seared which means it's heated only at the surface. So, if you don't like raw fish, this is not for you. The fish I comes with potatoes and some green leaves, so quite filling. Zio Pesce has become one of my favorite restaurants in Milan because of the quality of food as well as the dining experience itself. The staff are very kind and attentive, and do what they can to keep you satisfied. Once, they gave us a free bottle of wine just because we had to wait for about 15 minutes (with a reservation). This was far from my expectation considering what I see in some places in Italy. Yes, they care about customers!

A line of about 15 people formed a ten minutes prior to opening on a Saturday afternoon. It's also best to have a gameplan in mind of what you want to order. We didn't and it was clear the staff essentially rushed us through. I understand that they have other customers in line, but the ordering process is very stressful. We ordered scallops, shrimp, octopus, calamari, and potatoes. The food was overall well-cooked. The value here is great; to get all this fresh seafood for ~40 euros is a nice deal. This is one of those where I wish I could give half stars and would rate it a 3.5. I would probably come here again, especially if I had more time to order my meal.
