Best seafood in Milan....No! Best seafood in the world…read more 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!"

I went once. yes the place is crowded and noisy and you sit close to other tables, but the staff is friendly and fun. the food is decent sardinian food, though I have to say, I went on a monday night and the pasta con frutti di mare did not have the freshest seafood, it was just okay. monday is not a seafood day in Milan. I will try again.

The server graciously took the order and suggested I eat the pizza first which is the norm. Later, he checked on me and asked if I was too full for the large portion of spaghetti carbonara--he was right. "Not master chef portions here" he joked indeed! Chef di Franco came out frequently to greet his guests. He was even having dinner when we first arrived at opening time. Our server gave us the restaurant business card and invited us to call to make a reservation as he is fully booked for lunch and dinner. The pizza had a simple, delicious crust that was chewy on the inside. Well executed, unpretentious food.
