Bottega Sicula Pescheria In Milano

Entering this place is like opening a door in time and finding yourself catapulted into that authentic Sicily that smells of home, affection, and tradition. The caponata? As good as my grandmother's, and that says it all! An explosion of perfectly balanced flavors, speaking the language of cuisine made with love, wisdom, and superb ingredients. Each dish is a tribute to this land, prepared with the mastery that only Chef Bastien 🐔 can offer. The decor is a jewel in itself: every detail is curated with love and passion, from puppets that tell ancient stories to tambourines that seem to play the soundtrack of a land to be experienced. And what about the owners? Wonderful people, welcoming as only Sicilians can be: helpful, hospitable, smiling. They make you feel at home from the first moment, as if you've returned to family after a long journey. We discovered a true gem of sunshine in this gray and chaotic Milan. A haven for the soul and for taste, where you can return whenever you're homesick for Sicily or simply want to relax and eat well! (Simona)

If you go to this Sicilian restaurant in Milan and don't know Biagio, then you're simply eating—but not living the experience. Biagio is more than just a director: he's the orchestra conductor, the maître d', the sommelier, the confessor, and, at his best, even a bit of a psychoanalyst. But with a Sicilian accent. As soon as you enter, he looks you up and down with the same gaze you'd use to assess a crate of freshly caught sea urchins or a prostitute on Viale Zara: stern but fair. His presence is so charismatic that the tables seem to orbit around him. No one dares get up to go to the bathroom without his tacit permission. Some swear they received a look of approval from Biagio after ordering the "pacchero with shrimp and pecorino" with a 1922 Grillo. Biagio doesn't take orders: he gives them. He explains what you'll be eating as if it were a personal gift from the Sicilian grandmother you never had. And the amazing thing is, he's always right. Even when he's not. The food? A dream. But at a certain point, you realize you're coming back not just for the crudo, but to hear Biagio say: — "Well done. You chose well. I like it." And there you go, you feel promoted to honorary Sicilian. In short, Biagio doesn't run a restaurant: he governs a kingdom. And if you're lucky, you might even earn his smile, that rare blessing worth more than a parking spot in downtown Milan.

Truly a beautiful location - impeccable service... - the elegant owners' hospitality and kindness make you feel at home in your own restaurant - the quality of the produce is excellent, definitely top-notch given that they fish themselves... and that says it all...

Excellent food made with the highest quality ingredients available. Service was wonderful also — coming all the way from Sydney this was definitely a highlight of my trip.

A romantic and welcoming restaurant like few others, located in a peaceful neighborhood, run by a smiling and exceptionally kind team, and above all, dishes of such freshness and quality that I've rarely tasted! From the red shrimp tartare to the shrimp and pistachio paccheri: orgasm guaranteed!!

The restaurant is very cosy and well designed. The service was friendly and welcoming and suggested great dishes to taste. The food was absolutely delicious from the appetizers to the dessert. The raw fish was super fresh and tasty. Thanks I will be back!

dinner with friends who already knew this restaurant, we ate a selection of raw fish, very fresh Gillardeu oysters, red prawns, scampi and trio of tartare, of excellent quality, cellar very well stocked with wines from all over Italy, we drank a Sicilian wine, Maria Costanza from the Milazzo winery which goes very well with the raw fish, to follow we had a fried food, octopus and a Catalan-style lobster also excellent. The service is professional from all points of view with the right sympathy to make you feel at ease while always maintaining a discreet and professional tone. I recommend booking in the beautiful internal rooms, nice ventilated outdoor area in a street with little or very little traffic in the evening. I thank Mario and Barbara for inviting me to dinner in this restaurant.

The spaghettoni with fresh sea urchins are absolutely unmissable! The red prawns from Mazara are the best I've ever eaten. The oysters... excellent. What can I say... the best fish in Milan. Attentive and attentive service.

Muito bom , excelente opção com bom vinho, preço justo e bons pratos . Excelente atendimento.. Vale a pena conhecer!!!!

location piacevole, una sorta di "salottino" su due piani molto gradevole con luci ed atmosfera giuste. Qualità delle materie prime eccellente, porzioni ben condite e soddisfacenti alla vista ed al palato. Antipasti e primi anche molto particolari, sui secondi invece: già visto in buona parte. Stimolerei, se mi è permesso, qualcosa di più particolare anche su questa parte del menu vista la qualità generale e la bella mano della cucina. Servizio molto attento e presente, a volte pure troppo. Ovviamente la qualità si paga, non poco, ma ci stà.
