Kind of screwed over me and my friend by charging us $14 EACH for grappa without telling us what…read morethe price was when we asked aboutil it. The waiter told me as I was leaving "I hope you won't leave us a bad review" and I'm like bro you just screwed us both so....yeah bad review incoming. He's making the claim he had the right to charge us this this because it "wasn't on the menu" and I'm like well if it's not on the menu then maybe don't f****** serve it or tell us how much it costs. I pointed out to this asshat at the time, too, that he didn't tell us that it was going to be that much, which is AT THE LEAST a courtesy. I don't think my friend could afford it, but I could, and that's pretty unfortunate considering that he really screwed us over, and I did not expect to spend $60 on dinner tonight for 3 glasses of wine and a pizza with a TINY glass of grappa at the end. If you must stop, only for glass of wine or 2, but don't do anything more because apparently you will definitely get FUCKED on the bill, so definitely make sure you read your bill before you leave too.... You know what, in hindsight I just wouldn't come here. But I didn't get dessert that probably would of cost me $20 more. Luxury dining prices with McDonald's quality, shame because the evening started out so promising, but the female bartender left and that made it a man's world with single female diners. Poor dude is just sad to be going home alone after he heard I was single. Enjoy your blue-balls asshole, you can use the money you charged us, probably as a tip, to buy some smokes once you're done with your right hand. And yeah, here's my negative review you cheap SOB. Damn if you weren't the worst waiter in my 7 weeks of vacation. Enjoy and by the way congratulations because you're the first waiter in 7 weeks that has actually charged me for grappa. Everyone else has just been excited to share their culture but you saw dollar signs. What goes around comes around, son. At least I'm not you. Also, as an American, I still tip for good service. You could've gotten an honest tip, but you're just a douchebag who couldn't give two girls the heads up that you were going to charge us the equivalent of a cocktail for what was basically a shot. At least I made friend, everything else was a crapshoot.

The host is very nice, and even funny, which got us in. But it turned out to be the typical tourist trap; the Milanaise Steak, the city's traditional breaded steak was awful! The sirloin wasn't much better, maybe we should have ordered pasta after all, but we wanted a change after days of wonderful pasta. Even their Panna Cotta was commercial grade. Avoid.

A lot of seafood in there such as shrimps, clams, mussels, squid. Pasta was al dente with right amount of delicious sauce from all those seafood. I asked the waiter what was on the top- it looked like baked crust. They named it "foil" but it was just a baked pizza crust on the top of the pasta. Second dish we ordered was Cotoletta alla Milanese- Veal Milanese- pan fried veal cutlet. Veal was crispy on the outside and meat was tender on the inside with great seasoning. It was a delicious meal in Milan, Italy. This Trattoria was cleaned and well maintained with friendly waiters. Felt like family eating style restaurant with good ambiance and service. Highly recommend those dishes to try.

We ordered the fried fish platter, which had the shrimp and calamari. We didn't get the fish that should've come with it. I'm guessing it's probably not in season. No big deal. The taste of the spaghetti with clams was simple, and that is how it should be. The natural saltiness of the clams is what brings flavor to the dish. The pizza was cooked perfectly. I loved everything. The portion was adequate. The young lady who served us was very helpful and polite. She went out of her way to try to answer all our questions about the menu. The place was quiet before 6:30 pm. After that, people started coming in. I highly recommend this place!!! Tip: If you're walking from the train station, look for NYX hotel. This place is next to it.

At the recommendation of another guest. They also suggested, if you like spice, to try the chili pepper infused olive oil. So glad we did! The risotto was perfectly cooked, very creamy with an abundance of fresh mushrooms. We topped with a drizzle of the spicy olive oil. And man that's got a bite! So good. For dinner I had the meat lasagna and my husband had a pasta with sausage. Both were very good. Mine was a large serving, filled with delicious pasta, cheese and sauce. My husband had a smaller pasta noodle, and the sauce was different than the red sauce on my lasagna. It was delicious!! We enjoyed our meals. And we even were able to purchase a jar of the spicy olive oil! Service was very friendly and attentive. If we make it back to Milan, we will come back.

The food here was amazing. We had already been in Milan for a day prior to coming here and when I…read moretell you that the food we had the first day was lackluster at best, I hope that seriously underscores how much was riding on our lunch experience at a'Mare. 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!

We've now eaten here 4 times. Twice was nearly 3 years ago (July 2022) and it was so memorable we…read moredecided to go again on our first night back in Milan in May 2026 and then repeated here the following night. The restaurant is on a side street near the busy (with tourists from every corner of the globe) Duomo area. It is easy to find. It has a charming decor (though it is a bit darker and more romantically appointed than other area restaurants, as well as having an underground and almost bordello vibe). It is also larger than it might appear, as there are both ground floor, as well as a lower eating area seemingly for larger groups, as well as used during busier times. We have only eaten on the ground floor level. The menu offers ample variety, but is not what one would term extensive. It tends upscale, though not extremely costly (arguably average to slightly above average fine restaurant prices), but portions are on the smaller side. They have a specialty in dishes augmented and emphasizing the use of truffles, of which we have sampled several times. Over the course of our several meals we've had every pasta and risotto offered with truffle shavings. Of the appetizers we can recommend the meatballs, which are delicate and small, the bacon wrapped shrimp, and the octopus. Their desserts are also not the run of the mill and warrant tastings. All and all, we will always repeat here when in Milan. Frankly, though their Yelp average score is pretty good, we were surprised they do not have a higher Yelp average score.

From the moment we walked in, it felt like an authentic Italian experience. The restaurant was decorated with Sardinian flags and photos, giving it a warm, welcoming atmosphere. Our server was fantastic. There was a slight language barrier, but it wasn't a problem at all we worked through it together, and the service was excellent from beginning to end. The highlight of the evening was the salt-crusted branzino, which I later learned is one of the restaurant's signature specialties. Before cooking it, they brought the whole fish to our table so we could see exactly what we were getting. It looked incredibly fresh, like it had just come out of the sea. They then covered it in sea salt, baked it, and brought it back to our table. What made the experience even more memorable was the tableside service. A staff member expertly deboned the entire fish right in front of us, leaving nothing but perfectly flaky, tender pieces ready to enjoy. It was one of the most impressive dining experiences I've ever had. The fish was simply prepared with olive oil and a little sea salt, proving that fresh, high-quality ingredients don't need a lot of seasoning. One thing I loved throughout my trip to Italy was how clean and uncomplicated the food is. They don't rely on heavy seasonings like we often do in the United States, yet every bite is incredibly flavorful. We also enjoyed a fresh salad, some biscotti, Italian breadsticks and a bottle of Prosecco that tasted much better than any Prosecco I've had back home. Everything was so good that we even took some leftovers with us. We accidentally ordered one of their wood-fired pizzas because of the language barrier, but even that turned out to be delicious, so it was a happy surprise. They packed out takeaway nicely and have us extra bisco and breadsticks The restaurant is tucked away on a small side street in Milan's Fashion District. It's lively, energetic, and great for groups. During our visit, everyone was watching a FIFA soccer match, so there were lots of cheers and excitement throughout dinner, which added to the fun atmosphere. If you're looking for an authentic Italian seafood experience in Milan, I highly recommend ordering the tableside salt-crusted branzino. Between the fresh ingredients, outstanding service, and memorable presentation, this was easily one of the best meals we had in Italy. We would absolutely return the next time we're in Milan.
