Best seafood in Milan....No! Best seafood in the world…read more This restaurant is for foodies no doubt. This hidden gem is off the beaten path and probably for the locals too. Reservations are highly recommend and just walking in is not going to work. Every reserved table had a card with someone's name on it. However, since we were ignorant to the reservation requirements we begged and pleased and eventually the NYC charm worked. The owner Cristian embodies the term hospitable by seating us, engaging us in conversations and then leading our dinner like the conductor of an orchestra. He asked if we had any restrictions and the answer of NO seemed to be the exact guidance he needed. This Sardinian family owned business doesn't disappoint. Trattoria Del Pescatore serves up the most tantalizing plates of foods filled with the freshest ingredients and the most delicate tasting seafood I have ever eaten anywhere. This chef certainly has a magic touch and is adept at the use of seasoning and flavors. A trio of fish crudos along with raw langostines and raw shrimp was followed by a classic Octupus salad. Next came a broiled scallop encrusted in ground pistachio. Mussels in white wine was next as the parade of plates continued. Just as I thought if could not get any better came a plate of freshly made risotto with mixed seafood. I want to emphasize fresh because many restaurants tend not to make risotto fresh because it can taker upwards of 40 minutes. This risotto was pure perfection cooked Al dente and tasting like the sea. Everything served up to this point tasted like it had just come out of the ocean. Our final course was a lobster salad creation which is credited to restaurants in Sardinia however is modified by the local chefs addition of tomatoes and red onions. Legend has it that this variant has become so popular over the years that restaurants back in Sardinia have change their original recipes to match. I believe it. No matter what you order don't leave without ordering this dish. Our host was most generous as I believe this is his way of treating people who appreciate good food. The service all evening was a match to the food with waiters buzzing around and being attentive to every need. From clearing dishes, to serving food and refilling wine and water everything was done with a smile. I hope that this review acts as a signpost for this restaurant. "When in Milan eat at here now!"

Great food! Need to make a reservation in advance!! Not that friendly.. however housewine is good.read more

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.

This place is getting destroyed in the italian-language ratings, I think they need some balance…read more I have heard from many people independently that this restaurant is good. I went once. yes the place is crowded and noisy and you sit close to other tables, but the staff is friendly and fun. the food is decent sardinian food, though I have to say, I went on a monday night and the pasta con frutti di mare did not have the freshest seafood, it was just okay. monday is not a seafood day in Milan. I will try again.
