The food here was amazing. We had already been in Milan for a day prior to coming here and when I…read moretell you that the food we had the first day was lackluster at best, I hope that seriously underscores how much was riding on our lunch experience at a'Mare. Thankfully, a'Mare did not disappoint. I love a good seafood pasta and they delivered!! They had this special - seafood carbonara - which was truly chef's kiss. The seafood was all cubed up into small pieces and the sauce was exquisite. We also ordered a pasta with mussels and that didn't disappoint either. The round of Aperol spritzes was also amazing but they offer a lot of wine as well (which probably would've paired equally well with the pasta, but my heart was set on Aperol spritzes for my Italy vacation). Service was good - bathrooms were clean but tiny and could be better in my opinion. You also have to pay upstairs at the register rather than at your table. Definitely recommend checking this place out if you're close by and visiting the Duomo. It's approximately a 5 min walk away and worth it!

Antipasta polpo (18€ = $20 USD) - The octopus was perfectly grilled and had a firm texture. It was a great appetizer to start the meal. Taglioni pistachio gambino 16€ = $17.50 USD) - This spaghetti type pasta was prepared al dente and served with a creamy pistachio sauce that paired well with fresh shrimp. Grigliata mista (26€ = $28.50 USD) - I enjoyed the variety of freshly grilled fish this dish had to offer which included salmon, shrimp, and white fish. Fritto calamari gambino verde (22€ = $24 USD) - This consisted of lightly fried calamari, shrimp, and julienned squash and zucchini. The vegetables were so addicting and I appreciated that everything was prepared in a light batter. Overall, I really enjoyed the sea food here and the variety of offerings. I can see why this is a popular sea food spot!

The best meal we had on this trip to Milan. Highly recommend. Lots of local Italians dining here…read more Feels super homey. Owned by a Chinese family. Service was great. Food was amazing. 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!

It had a light delicious brothy sauce that was just perfect for sopping up with the bread that comes with the coperto. The restaurant itself is rather small and not exactly the type of place you'd feel the need to dress up to go but they have patio dining as an option as well as an upstairs area which is where we sat. To be honest I was surprised at the laidback environment because of how quality the food was but that seems to be a common theme in Milan. Servers and staff were friendly and provided an English menu and were kind enough to squeeze us in before a reservation which we really appreciated after having been turned away from several restaurants already. It was busy but that could have been because of Fuorisalone crowds. If it's seafood you're looking for in Milan then the Fisherman is a fantastic option.
