The 5 best fish restaurants in Milan – Italian Cuisine

They say that the freshest fish in Italy arrives in Milan. Well, for sure it is also the most expensive one. If with typical restaurants that serve the workhorses of Milanese cuisine like ribs and yellow risotto it is easier to get by without spending exorbitant amounts, going out for dinner to eat fish is more and more like a luxury to be granted only on special occasions.
Not everything is lost, however, because there are also several restaurants, perhaps less "blazoned" than others, that offer a quality undoubtedly indisputable in the face of a more contained and "fair" spending.

Here then is a selection of the five best, where you can raise the desire for fish and not be forced to cry at the time of the bill.

La Cozzeria, Via Muratori 6

As the name suggests, the workhorses of this place in Porta Romana are mussels: tasty and luscious, are offered in many variations and are served in portions of one or a half kilo, accompanied by home-made fries. But if you do not go crazy for the classics moules et frites, do not despair: you can opt for the fresh raw – which include different types of oysters; for the delicious starters and for the first ones, among which the linguine with the Carloforte tuna bottarga and the strozzapreti with smoked swordfish, pistachios, dried tomatoes, Marsala and ricotta.
The family management and the very kind staff have made it, rightly, a solid point of reference for the Milanese: translated, you must always book in advance.

The Lighthouse, Via Marco D'Oggiono 6

The starters of the house of Il Faro have gained a certain notoriety at the loyal customers, given their abundance, variety and exquisiteness. But in this place not far from the Navigli, which combines the seafood cuisine of Sardinia and Puglia, you will also find first courses such as Lorighitas with lobster or seafood; fregola with squid ink; orecchiette with turnip tops, mussels and bottarga or with prawns and broad beans. The latter change according to the catch actually available, confirming the fact that the freshness of raw materials, here, is not transient. Warm welcome and "housewife", with a fast, precise and punctual service: for years, a certainty.

Trattoria Del Pescatore, Via Vannucci 5

"For over 40 years, a reference point for fish in Milan": nothing more true for this historic local founded in 1976, located between Porta Romana and Bocconi and recently landed also in Hong Kong. The distinctive signs? The famous loaves of bread, crunchy outside and light and soft inside, which are directly placed on the tables; the tasty Catalan lobster with red onion and tomatoes, a sort of "trademark" of the restaurant; the tradition – still alive – to offer, at the end of the meal, Sardinian pecorino directly from the form and iced myrtle. The real challenge, at Trattoria Del Pescatore, is to be able to book: arm yourself with a lot of patience, you will be rewarded!

Nerino 10 Trattoria, Via Nerino 10

Nerino 10 has long been at the top of the town's ranking of Tripadvisor and is anything but a tourist trap or a restaurant that has an undeserved reputation. Rather. The a la carte menu changes seasonally: to mention – in the winter one – the battered prawns with soy mayonnaise; Nerino tagliolini with clams and 'nduja; tagliatelle with prawns, lime and pistachio pesto; fresh grilled fish (swordfish, tuna fish, San Pietro, sea skewers); the king prawns in salt crust. The success of this restaurant has not at all mounted the heads of the owners: courtesy and kindness are never lacking, as well as a lot of substance and a rare balance between account and quality.

Zio Pesce, Via Cicco Simonetta 8 and Via Maffei 12

Do not be fooled by the fact that Zio Pesce is part of the Seven Group, a chain of restaurants that includes Seven, Joe Cipolla, Milanese Drogherie and Pescherie Riunite. In fact, in the two locations of via Cicco Simonetta (Navigli area) and Maffei (Cinque Giornate / Porta Romana) you will enjoy excellent seafood cuisine without your wallet having to suffer. To be noted, for fans of the raw, the "Nude and raw of Uncle Fish", among which stand out French prawns, sea almonds and bulots; different types of oysters; tuna tartare, salmon, red prawns from Mazzara del Vallo and cuttlefish; carpaccio of yellow fin tuna. A selection of over one hundred labels will also cheer those who do not want to renounce the accompaniment of a good wine.

5 traditional Japanese restaurants to try in Milan – Italian Cuisine

That Milan is the undisputed homeland of Japanese cuisine in Italy is certainly not a mystery. In fact, in the Milanese capital, in fact, that sushi and sashimi began to peep out about twenty years ago, conquering the palates of almost anyone and gradually transforming the binomial "raw fish and rice" from a fashion to a well-established habit.

The offer of Japanese restaurants today is almost unlimited, thanks also (and for some because of) to the many All You Can Eat of Chinese matrix that now invade every neighborhood. The challenge, today, is therefore to find places that – along with excellent sushi – also offer the most unknown specialties of the Japanese gastronomic tradition, just as tasty and special: we have selected five, to try and love unconditionally.

Yamamoto gastronomy

Inaugurated at the beginning of the year in the center, the Yamamoto Gastronomy offers a series of tantalizing appetizers based on seaweed, in addition to mozuku, a typical dish of the island of Okinawa, andhijiki Aburaage, crunchy seaweed in salad with carrots and edamame. Continuing, impossible to miss the delicious a don, a bed of rice on which lies a tender roast eel, and i onigiri stuffed and covered by umeboshi homemade, the famous Japanese plums. Gastronomy is already on everyone's lips for its lunchtime proposals, among which the katsu sandu, filled sandwich with fried pork cutlet, served with herbs and edible flowers: in Milan it is now a must.

Osaka

A real institution: since 1999 the Osaka restaurant, located in the Moscova area just outside Brera, delights the Milanese palates with a 100% Japanese menu. The "main dish" varies from day to day, and – alongside the best known sushi and sashimi prepared to perfection – you will also find ramen, gyoza is sukiyaki, as well as numerous specialties of the cuisine of the Rising Sun. Worth noting is the proposals for lunch, particularly convenient abundant and of excellent quality, among which the tonkatsu, the typical and delicious breaded pork cutlet.

Wellcome

A stone's throw from Piazza Cinque Giornate, Wellkome is a restaurant with open kitchen and minimal style, which combines an intimate atmosphere and generous portions, and a punctual and friendly service, in full Japanese style. Try them onigiri, especially the one with salmon roe, and hot dishes, like i takoyaki (the delicious octopus patties, Osaka specialty); the tonkatsu, the typical Japanese cutlet in many delicious variations or soups with soba or udon. To end in beauty, treat yourself to the delicious mochi "Original", filled with red bean jam: you will understand why there is no comparison with the ice cream one.

J'S Hiro

Mrs. Hiromi Arai has been running this restaurant in the Bocconi area for several years now, and every day offers different off-season menus for lunch and dinner, inspired by the season and her personal twist. If you prefer to make many small tastings, this is the place for you: ask them to guide you to discover the specialties of the day, but always including the excellent yakimeshi, sautéed rice with vegetables and aromas, and the unforgettable Tempura, with its delicate batter that does not cover the flavors of fish and vegetables. In the lunch break the restaurant offers you not the many bento box, or a set of different saucers, accompanied by the inevitable white rice.

Omacasé Sushiteca

In the Porta Genova area, Omacasé – more than a restaurant – is a gem often frequented by Japanese patrons, proof of its authenticity and high quality. The classic chirashi here it becomes barachirashi, a thin layer of white rice cooked to perfection and topped with a mix of raw fish cut like mozzarella, broccoli tops, cherry tomatoes and avocado. But in addition to this warhorse is also grilled salmon jama; the tuna katsu fried breaded (Japanese delicacy very difficult to find in Italy); delicious udon is soba; maki really sublime. But do not forget to leave a small space for sweets, because you will rarely taste so good.
