Trattoria del Pescatore In Milano

Friendly staff, wonderful Catalan lobster

Amazing food and amazing service from Luigi! Highly recommend the lobster linguine

As always, everything was perfect (except that it has become impossible to book).

It was very tasty, homemade and with soul, I recommend this place

What a wonderful restaurant! The food was exceptional, the atmosphere was warm and welcoming for both us and the other diners, and how could we forget the exceptional Giuliano with his excellent advice and great kindness! Thank you for these precious moments, and we look forward to returning on our next trip to Milan!

We go there often when we're in Milan and have always appreciated the truly excellent food and service. The space isn't overly large, but we're in a trattoria, albeit a very high-end one.

It's been a few months, but I'm only writing this review today because scrolling through the photo gallery reminded me of this fantastic experience. The best seafood place in Milan, hands down. The Catalan cuisine is a must. There's not much to say, simply the best. Bilal

GIULIANO'S VERSION The first time Catalan lobster appeared on a menu was in 1949, when Moreno Cecchini served boiled lobster in his Alghero restaurant, served only with an emulsion made from its eggs, juices, seed oil, lemon, and a drop of vinegar. That's it. Thirty years later, in 1976, Giuliano Ardu opened the @trattoriadelpescatore and had to make his way among the Milanese taverns and the "trani" restaurants in Puglia (at the time, Milan was Puglia's second largest city), where you could fill up cheaply. He certainly couldn't offer Cecchini's lobster: it's expensive and doesn't fill you up enough. So he replaced the lobster with crawfish (which costs less) and filled the plate with tomatoes, onions, and extra virgin olive oil for dipping the bread. From that moment on, Giuliano's version spread from Milan to tables around the world, eventually making Catalana one of the most famous (Milanese) dishes in the world. As if anticipating pleasure, the Catalana variant itself became Catalana.

By far the best restaurant. The food was absolutely delicious, the service was attentive and friendly, and the atmosphere was lovely. Everything was fresh and beautifully prepared. Highly recommend!

Specializing in seafood, attentive service. The atmosphere is a bit chaotic.
