It appears that this is the Sardi's of Milan - portraits of Italian celebrities cover the wall all over and the food passes muster to match the star power. I was first brought a basket of bread but no accompanying olive oil. The bread was basically good but i waited until I had plates to scrape up sauce and oil from for the bread. My first dish was a Spaghetti with anchovies which was quite delicious. The pasta may have been a tad bit *too* al dente even for me, and I like it al dente! My second dish was the Veal Piccata with Artichoke. They brought me a Veal Piccata with Olives instead - which was not on the menu....but in my confusion I found that an earlier verison of the menu had it Pizzaola style - tomato-sauce with olives. That's not on their current menu though so when I asked them where the artichokes were, pointing to an image from their digital menu, they said no more and removed the plate and in a few instant minutes later brought me exactly what I ordered. The artichokes were broiling hot, obviously they rushed this together but it was tasty. I finished off with a Pasteria Napoletana from the dessert display case. It was all good. I don't know if I'd necessarily come back though as I had higher expectations of the food and the service, though. But worth trying once!

Our antipasti was two dishes, polpo (we are suckers for octopus done right), and burrata (also suckers for this cheese too). Both were terrific and did their job...to open the appetite. Our primi was a linguine for me, and tagliatelle for my wife. Both were just outstanding. Didn't have a secondi or dolce because we were already stuffed to the gills for lunch. Thoroughly enjoyed it and hope to have it again if we ever have a return visit to Milano.

We got the eggplant crispy and a side of spaghetti with marinara. The sauce was wonderful and the eggplant was huge and the cheese was excellent but the sauce was the star. The crème brûlée- this was the amazing part of the meal. Not a typical brulee. There was no sugar crust. It had a fruit reduction on the plate and fruit on top and was a wonderful custard. Our friends got the lasagna and said it was one of the best ever. They also got the salad with chicken breast and it was huge. They had the tiramisu for desert and it was excellent. This place is highly recommended.

At the recommendation of another guest. They also suggested, if you like spice, to try the chili pepper infused olive oil. So glad we did! The risotto was perfectly cooked, very creamy with an abundance of fresh mushrooms. We topped with a drizzle of the spicy olive oil. And man that's got a bite! So good. For dinner I had the meat lasagna and my husband had a pasta with sausage. Both were very good. Mine was a large serving, filled with delicious pasta, cheese and sauce. My husband had a smaller pasta noodle, and the sauce was different than the red sauce on my lasagna. It was delicious!! We enjoyed our meals. And we even were able to purchase a jar of the spicy olive oil! Service was very friendly and attentive. If we make it back to Milan, we will come back.

We loved everything we ordered. Seafood pasta was great. We can't wait to come back! UPDATE: We went back the very next night because we wanted to try their other dishes. We are so glad that we did. My husband got the Scampi dish which is nothing like scampi in the usa which is basically oil and garlic. This italian scampi dish was tomato-based but with a very light cream. You almost could miss the cream if you're not paying attention. It was filled with prawns. The touch of cream gave the dish an incredible savory mouth feel. We liked this even more than the seafood pasta which was also delicious. After several days of eating seafood pasta throughout Italy. I wanted to try something simple and classic. I went with their ragu pasta (bolognese) which was only 10 euros. It was a large plate and hands down, THE BEST, ragu I have ever had in my entire life. This is a MUST EAT. We also shared all the dishes and agree that the ragu was amazing. Nothing was overly salted or greasy. Everything tasted just right. We did order one grilled seafood dish that we did not care for. It was topped with some sort of bread crumb. You tasted the bread crumb more than the seafood. I'd skip that appetizer. If I had to recommend the top 3 dishes, it would be the scampi, ragu and the seafood pasta. The milanese veal cutlet was also nicely done. I had one other dish which was some sort of fish in a tomato sauce with olives and potatoes. There's just something so special about european potatoes. They taste very potato-y a nd not bland. Definitely try one of their stewed potato dishes. The prices are super reasonable, the service is attentive and you'll be surrounded by local italians enjoying life and food. I would dine here daily the next time we go back to Milan. It was that good!

I ordered the Spaghetti Seafood and it was so delicious. None of the seafood in my dish was overcooked, which is was great because it made the shrimp and crawfish shells easier to remove. We ordered a bottle of Pinot Noir to go with our meal but it was a little to sweet for us. For dessert, we had the Tiramisu and it was life changing. I don't ever think I can Tiramisu again when I leave Italy. Great service and delicious food! I would definitely recommend this place!

After spending the day exploring Lake Como, we wanted a great dinner within walking distance of our…read morehotel, and we're so glad we found L'Isola del Tesoro Ristorante. From the moment we walked in, it felt like an authentic Italian experience. The restaurant was decorated with Sardinian flags and photos, giving it a warm, welcoming atmosphere. Our server was fantastic. There was a slight language barrier, but it wasn't a problem at all we worked through it together, and the service was excellent from beginning to end. The highlight of the evening was the salt-crusted branzino, which I later learned is one of the restaurant's signature specialties. Before cooking it, they brought the whole fish to our table so we could see exactly what we were getting. It looked incredibly fresh, like it had just come out of the sea. They then covered it in sea salt, baked it, and brought it back to our table. What made the experience even more memorable was the tableside service. A staff member expertly deboned the entire fish right in front of us, leaving nothing but perfectly flaky, tender pieces ready to enjoy. It was one of the most impressive dining experiences I've ever had. The fish was simply prepared with olive oil and a little sea salt, proving that fresh, high-quality ingredients don't need a lot of seasoning. One thing I loved throughout my trip to Italy was how clean and uncomplicated the food is. They don't rely on heavy seasonings like we often do in the United States, yet every bite is incredibly flavorful. We also enjoyed a fresh salad, some biscotti, Italian breadsticks and a bottle of Prosecco that tasted much better than any Prosecco I've had back home. Everything was so good that we even took some leftovers with us. We accidentally ordered one of their wood-fired pizzas because of the language barrier, but even that turned out to be delicious, so it was a happy surprise. They packed out takeaway nicely and have us extra bisco and breadsticks The restaurant is tucked away on a small side street in Milan's Fashion District. It's lively, energetic, and great for groups. During our visit, everyone was watching a FIFA soccer match, so there were lots of cheers and excitement throughout dinner, which added to the fun atmosphere. If you're looking for an authentic Italian seafood experience in Milan, I highly recommend ordering the tableside salt-crusted branzino. Between the fresh ingredients, outstanding service, and memorable presentation, this was easily one of the best meals we had in Italy. We would absolutely return the next time we're in Milan.
