One of the best dining experience I had in Milan. The server was so kind and patient with us even though we barely understand each other, as I don't speak Italian and none of them speak English. The foods were very fresh, the salmon tuna tartare was absolutely amazing and well seasoned. Everything was reasonable priced. I would definitely come back when I'm in Milan! Grazie mille!

One of favourite places. Incredible atmosphere. It’s where locals come to eat. It’s very busy so you may need to book in advance. Seafood is so fresh, large portions, friendly people. Our waiter Augustino was incredible. So kind and friendly. We came back after 5 years since our first holiday to Italy. He did his very best to make it a special night. We will come again.

Great place for some fresh seafood! The pasta "Fantasia" was excellent (and huge) with a mix of seafood. The staff was very helpful towards us tourists and offered to share plates between us as all of them were pretty big.

This place we found it by random, however very very nice. For dinner, the turnover rate will be must be over 100% but the service speed is professional. The people are friendly to the customers. They have the passione for the work. The seafood are fresh and nice, many special dishes from zio Nini! Highly recommended!

This place was a great and unique experience. The food was excellent! We had sea urchins, mixed mussles, Octupus soup and the Fantasy pasta. Super delicious. The waiters were fun and interactive. The atmosphere in the back of the restaurant was amazing. A perfect Italian evening.

A hidden gem for seafood lovers in Milan! The seafood here is incredibly fresh — the oysters and mussels were especially impressive, clean and flavorful with no fishy taste at all. The portions are generous, and everything pairs perfectly with just a squeeze of lemon. The restaurant is cozy and welcoming, and the staff are friendly and professional. Prices are very reasonable (€20–30), making it a great value for authentic Italian seafood. Highly recommended if you’re looking for a local spot with quality food and warm service. Will definitely come back!
