Charming neighborhood seafood shop and restaurant in Porta Romana. They specialize in raw and…read morecooked seafood. 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. Staff was very helpful in telling us about the different seafood, its origins and what is local to Italy. They also offer truffle dishes when in season. A true gem!

I might just be the odd one out... I don't get the hype about this place... it was highly…read morerecommended by a friend, The Fork and even our concierge... so we made a ressie and came for lunch. 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!

No seats and that's okay. This place is in Milan…read more It is a food stand across from the taxi stand. You get in line and have the option of buying fresh raw fish or lightly fried fish. If you choose the lightly fried your choices are calamari, shrimp, crab and select fish from the days catch. The food is then put on a scale and you pay per pound. UNBELIEVABLE! This was worth the flight to Italy on it's own!

We finally made it to the Seafood Market! Probably you have also heard that Milan's seafood is the…read morefreshest you can get in Italy although the nearest coast is almost 2 hours away. Well, most of that seafood comes from this place, a big marketplace in the southeastern part of the city. During the week it's only open to restaurants and businesses so you can't just go there and buy your fish, but then during Saturday mornings, from 9.30 to 11.30 just a few stalls remain open for everyone to buy their fresh fish. It's a market so you'll find the people in the stalls shouting the prices and offers and showing their products, crowds standing in front of them (if you're not very tall, like me, you won't be able to see a thing - or be ready to push your way to the front), wet, slippery floors and obviously, strong smell of fish. We went there just to buy something for lunch but ended up buying also for the day after and even something to keep in the freezer. They are used to selling in big quantities so don't expect to go there and ask for 3 shrimps and 2 slices of swordfish... like we though. Everything is sold by the kilo so we brought home almost 3 kilos of fish, too much for just the two of us, but we loved the taste and quality of everything and we saved half in the freezer. Prices are not cheap, perhaps a bit higher than what you usually find at the supermarket, but quality and freshness here are ensured. If you're lucky enough, by the end (around 11.15 or so) they might lower the prices trying to sell everything they have left.

Service was fine and the ambiance was nice but after having gone to the Langosteria Cafe, I have to…read moresay I liked the other spot more. We got seats at the counter thinking it would be like at the café where you can watch the chefs prepare the food - it was not, basically we were just sitting at the bar, which was not as fun. Portion sizes are small. We didn't realize the fish we ordered was tempura as the menu was written in a way where it sounded as if just the vegetables were tempura style while the fish would be prepared otherwise. It wasn't bad, just not what we expected. The octopus, pasta, and clams were good.
