I am not the person that scrolls google looking for the best rated restaurants in any city, I go where I see the folks that live in the neighborhood eat, or where the grannies are cooking. This I know is always the best food, unless I am roaming the city, looking for some pretty scenery and catch a whiff of something that smells good!
Pescheria sits off on a charming side street in a busy neighborhood in Munich, and has some of the best food I have eaten outside of Italy itself. Sit outside, especially if the weather is pleasant, but no need to fret, they have a fabulous outdoor patio that has blowers to keep you warm.
Start off the order with a dozen juicy Gillardeaux Oysters if you are a fan, and how can you visit an Italian restaurant and not order Negroni! I can only highly recommend what I ordered, but I can say that everyone at our table thoroughly enjoyed their meal.
The Risotto Mare with fresh mixed seafood was delicious, the risotto was cooked to perfection with a slight bite, and so full of flavor that the seafood would not have been missed. Mussels, shrimp, calamari, and fish make this a very filling meal, and no need to worry the seafood is not overcooked and still shines as a star in this dish. Now, for those of you who are a bit sensitive to black pepper, this dish has lots of black pepper, so you might want to ask them to go a bit light or avoid it completely depending on your level of tolerance. Though I like black pepper, it makes me sneeze uncontrollably while I am eating. While this isn't a problem, it is a bit unnerving at a table with others eating, but I wouldn't have had the dish except for the way it was prepared.
No, there was no room for dessert, the portion size was large and with a small salad and fresh bread, I was completely satisfied to sit and enjoy the scenery as the sun began to set. The staff here is very friendly, the manager was excited to give us a tour, especially when he heard one at our table was also a restaurant owner. We discussed the trials of a restaurant surviving the pandemic as well the changes in types of customers during Oktoberfest versus other times of the year. So guys, Pescheria is a winner in my book, all around great experience.
If you find yourself in Munich with a hankering for some Italian food that is full of the freshest ingredients and simple preparations that make each dish spectacular, check out Pescheria! Enjoy
