Trattoria del Pescatore

Top choice in Milan


Milan’s finest fish restaurant hides modestly behind a row of green awnings. At the helm are Sardinian couple Giuliano and Agnese and their son, who interned at three-Michelin-starred Arzak in San Sebastián. The pasta is handmade in their home town and the unmissable signature dish is the Catalan lobster drowned in Camone tomatoes and Tropea onions. Finish with green-apple sorbet and Sardinian cheeses.

Booking is essential, particularly at the weekend.
