Menu In Milano

I visited La Calanca da Leo in Milan and can say that the food was truly excellent. The dishes were well-seasoned and beautifully served, and the Vermentino "Karagnanj" was special. The dinner was very pleasant and the service was efficient. However, I noticed an issue with one of the waiters, who fortunately didn't serve our table. The waiter in question made some behavioral mistakes that ruined the experience for some customers. After scratching his butt, he re-set a table, touching the cutlery with his hands without cleaning them, which is unacceptable. He also had the habit of wiping his mouth and face with the napkin he held over his shoulder. Despite this incident, my overall experience was positive, and I recommend the restaurant for the quality of the food and service. I hope the restaurant can improve staff training to ensure an even more pleasant experience for all customers. *Tip:* If you are sensitive to hygiene and service, you can ask to be served by another waiter. In any case, the food is really good and worth trying.

Exclusive venue, excellent food

Excellent raw fish. Leo is fantastic!

In the heart of Milan, nestled among the city's most central and dynamic streets, lies La Calanca, a refined seafood restaurant that brings all the authentic flavors of Sardinia to the table. A true slice of island tradition nestled in the Lombard metropolis. The restaurant immediately strikes with its understated and welcoming elegance: a meticulously crafted setting that manages to be both sophisticated and familiar. The atmosphere is warm and relaxing, ideal for an intimate dinner or a lunch with friends or colleagues. The menu pays homage to authentic Sardinian cuisine. Highlights include dishes such as fregola with seafood, origittas (typical fresh pasta), spaghetti with bottarga, and a selection of fish main courses that showcase the freshness of the sea and respect for the ingredients. Each dish is a journey through traditional flavors, prepared with skill and attention. But what makes La Calanca truly special is its hospitality: the owner, Leo, is the real asset. With his charisma and innate cordiality, he welcomes every guest with a genuine smile, making them feel important but always at ease. A host who truly makes a difference. Prices are in the mid-to-high range, in line with the quality of the ingredients and the level of the cuisine offered. They may seem a little high to some, but they are fully justified by the quality of the dishes, the service, and the overall experience the restaurant offers. In short: if you're looking for authentic regional cuisine with a strong and recognizable Sardinian soul, La Calanca is a place to mark in your diary. For those who love fish prepared properly, in a setting that combines class and warmth, Milan has found its corner of Sardinia.

The place is well-kept down to the smallest details, the staff is friendly and very knowledgeable, we ate mainly raw food and first courses, everything was delicious.

Best meal we had in Milan. Would recommend the spaghetti a la vongole and the octopus with artichoke cream

Amazing food. Super friendly service. Better to make a reservation in advance.

Very good and the typical Sardinian dishes are spectacular. The desserts are also recommended!

Excellent restaurant, friendly staff, very kind owner. I had a fish-based dinner with friends both raw and cooked, excellent dishes much appreciated by all diners. I can only give a more than positive opinion. I would like to point out that I made a reservation in advance a few days before because there were 6 of us at the table.

Very kind owner and staff, the food is excellent, I recommend it to everyone. One of the best fish restaurants in Porta Romana. Excellent value for money! We will return with great pleasure!
