15/11/2025: Seafood specialized restaurant in Milan. The location was nice, close to the Brera neighborhood. The staff was kind and the food was great. To be honest I didn’t like that much at that time but as time goes by it is becoming the best restaurant from my trip in Milan.
12/11/2025: My mom, my mom's cousin, and I had no reservation one rainy night at 8pm in Milan on our last night in Italy after a two week trip.
We were fully expecting to be turned away judging from the calibre of the restaurant, but the maître d'hôtel welcomed us with a warm smile.
We were then submerged in a deep blue glow reminiscent of being deep underwater. We chose seafood because for the two weeks in Piemonte and in Valtellina, we had a fair share of the bounties from the valleys and the mountains.
We ordered a bottle of sparkling water to start, and the server poured it into each of our glasses, which was the first time we received such a level of service in whole two weeks!
We knew that in Northern Italy, especially in Milan, each dish is a personal serving, but we wanted to try all the flavours so we informed the server that we wished each dish to be shared. Such requests were often shunned at the tables in these two weeks, but here, they were pleasantly accommodating that we were each delivered a warm plate for antipasti and were advised that we should taste the carpaccio of yellowtail at last because the plates were warm.
Each dish was crafted to capture the delicate essence and fresh flavours of each ingredients, and were presented with such care that showcased the attention to details by the chef and the kitchen staff alike. The recommendations by the maître d'hôtel was on point, and we were particularly fond of the grilled octopus and smoked pasta!
DeRos created a memory for us to remember as we left Italy, with genuine, welcoming, and wonderful staff, delicious and carefully crafted food, and a sanctuary away from the rainy streets of Milan. Thank you again for being excellent in all aspects of the dining experience. We hope to return again soon when we are in Milan.
