We had the most delicious oysters from the Po river delta, raw and cooked red shrimp from Sicily, swordfish tartare with pistachios, and amberjack tartare with bottarga dishes.

It was very quiet for lunch... guessing ppl come for dinner. But their AM service for takeaway is very popular. It reminds me of those deli that had pre-made specials. Cozy space, a few tables... surrounded by bottles and bottles of wine. They don't open until 12:30 for lunch... The Fork gave us a 12pm seating... so we just hung out at the Mercado next door and then chilled outside. We ordered the highly recommended "red shrimp", this is nasty... I don't like the consistency at all... it doesn't taste fresh... it's mushy.. and it almost didn't make it into my belly... (gag..); we got the Irish oysters... it says "sweet"... if by sweet means loaded with sea water then ok. Salty AF. I enjoyed the anchovies over butter toasts.. that was delicious. We split a pasta with red shrimp (ordered it bc my friends wanted to try), I wanted the lobster. I didn't enjoy this pasta at all. We split the amberjack... which was oven baked with very heavy wine sauce... and mushy mushrooms and potatoes. I liked the fish... it was nice, flakey and flavorful. So, the only reason why this is not a 2 stars experience is bc of the anchovies toasts and the fish. For a €160... we deserved better food. I wouldn't go out of my way for this spot. Ciao!

Our host was gracious enough to translate the Italian menu to English for us. Apparently, the menu changes daily. I got the vibe that many locals eat at this restaurant. Everything that we ate here from the complimentary breadsticks to the dessert was delicious. The rosé wine was also good. For an appetizer, we had a dish that contained lobster, shrimp, and scallions as well as a separate octopus dish. I had a black pasta with shrimp as my entree. The dessert was hands down one of the best I have ever had. It was apricot gelato inside of a chocolate egg shell containing a chocolate mousse. If Malpensa airport was not so far from Milan, we would have returned here during our layover back to the U.S. I would come back to Milan just for this restaurant. If you love seafood, then this is a can't miss stop for you.

Very delicious seafood and handmade pasta. We tried several dishes and they were all amazing. The…read moresquid ink spaghetti with calamari and zucchini I got was so good. It had a light delicious brothy sauce that was just perfect for sopping up with the bread that comes with the coperto. The restaurant itself is rather small and not exactly the type of place you'd feel the need to dress up to go but they have patio dining as an option as well as an upstairs area which is where we sat. To be honest I was surprised at the laidback environment because of how quality the food was but that seems to be a common theme in Milan. Servers and staff were friendly and provided an English menu and were kind enough to squeeze us in before a reservation which we really appreciated after having been turned away from several restaurants already. It was busy but that could have been because of Fuorisalone crowds. If it's seafood you're looking for in Milan then the Fisherman is a fantastic option.

The decor is long on blue&white, but don't let the slightly kitschy theme fool you - this is good stuff. The menu is pretty big, but pretty much everything on it is *excellent*, especially the pasta. Oh, speaking of the pasta, go for anything that has bottarga on it, you won't be disappointed!

No wonder they got their 1st Michelin star in under a year. In typical Japanese humbleness (how many exec chefs do you see polishing with their staff at then end of service?), chef Yoji said he didnt understand why they gave it to them playfully. It's because it's delicious and creative! Make no mistake he did time most notably at Osteria Francescana under Massimo Bottura. Some of the elements and technique of O.F.

The charred white fish and the calamari were divine. Wine list were also impressive. The one star less was due to the staff who weren't the most knowledgeable and maybe two out of Three dishes that were a bit "fishy". I think establishments at this level can't have fish dishes that taste fishy! If this were in nyc it would be a well known place with extremely pretentious crowd but given its location Milan, the other patrons were quiet "normal". At times we wondered if places like this will stay in business for years since I can't imagine the local Milanese people be thrilled with this type of scientific gastronomy. Will I be back? Absolutely. If you want an experience that is out of the norm in Milan but still have ties to Italian cuisine in presentation, a few flavor here and there then this is the place.

We loved everything we ordered. Seafood pasta was great. We can't wait to come back! UPDATE: We went back the very next night because we wanted to try their other dishes. We are so glad that we did. My husband got the Scampi dish which is nothing like scampi in the usa which is basically oil and garlic. This italian scampi dish was tomato-based but with a very light cream. You almost could miss the cream if you're not paying attention. It was filled with prawns. The touch of cream gave the dish an incredible savory mouth feel. We liked this even more than the seafood pasta which was also delicious. After several days of eating seafood pasta throughout Italy. I wanted to try something simple and classic. I went with their ragu pasta (bolognese) which was only 10 euros. It was a large plate and hands down, THE BEST, ragu I have ever had in my entire life. This is a MUST EAT. We also shared all the dishes and agree that the ragu was amazing. Nothing was overly salted or greasy. Everything tasted just right. We did order one grilled seafood dish that we did not care for. It was topped with some sort of bread crumb. You tasted the bread crumb more than the seafood. I'd skip that appetizer. If I had to recommend the top 3 dishes, it would be the scampi, ragu and the seafood pasta. The milanese veal cutlet was also nicely done. I had one other dish which was some sort of fish in a tomato sauce with olives and potatoes. There's just something so special about european potatoes. They taste very potato-y a nd not bland. Definitely try one of their stewed potato dishes. The prices are super reasonable, the service is attentive and you'll be surrounded by local italians enjoying life and food. I would dine here daily the next time we go back to Milan. It was that good!

We ordered a bottle of Pinot Noir to go with our meal but it was a little to sweet for us. For dessert, we had the Tiramisu and it was life changing.
