Da Salvatore Trattoria Siciliana — Restaurant in Milan

A comfortable restaurant near Milan railway Central Station, well known for its Sicilian cuisine. After the door, you ramp up.the stairs and you find yourself in a comfortable atmosphere, all surrounded by paintings and objects that throw you in a Sicily home environment. Even if you may have meat, da Salvatore is famous for its fish, cooked in delicate ways across entries, first and second courses. I tasted cheese and salami from Nebrodi mountains, as well as the soup of octopus (it's nice to order several entries to share), then ravioli stuffed with fish. Wine selection is wide and excellent. Do not expect too strong tastes: what I liked was the softness of their proposal. The lady who served us was not only kind, but also willing to discreetly accompany the dishes with a short introduction on their origins. It is not.easy to find free parking around: to enjoy the restaurant fully, go directly to the near parkings and maximize your time inside...

Excellent Sicilian restaurant. Period. Food was perfect , quality , preparation and presentation (not excessive, not banal, elegant). Atmosphere is elegantly relaxed with Sicilian accents. Pasta alle Sarde (great Sicilian classic) was to die for , best I had actually. Tuna tartare served on orange crescent with touches of a delicious orange redcuction, was …gorgeous. Excellent Sicilian wine list …try the Sul Vulcano white. Cannolo at the end was perfect again, great silky smooth ricotta , great cannolo (all fresh from Sicily). They have home made cassta , did not try it…next time . Service again in line with everything here, attentive , fast but not rushed , and not intrusive. At the moment probably my favourite place in Milan. Ah yes price : for the quality is a steal, and for Milan price standard nowadays...

Adorabile ristorante di proprietà di Rita e suo marito Salvatore. Abbiamo trovato questo posto cercando su Google ristoranti siciliani vicino al nostro hotel. Avevamo tre piatti; Braciole alla messinese, Caponata alla Palermitana e Polpo lessato con zucchine e pomodorini. Tutti e tre i piatti sono stati vincitori! Il ristorante offre l'atmosfera preferita della gente del posto. L'esterno è senza pretese, ma all'interno è decorato come una villa italiana che ricorda una trattoria di un villaggio siciliano sul mare. Sei accolto come famiglia non appena entri. I proprietari vengono al tavolo per chiacchierare e discutere le opzioni del menu. Rita fa l'accoglienza e si confonde tra gli avventori mentre Salvatore è in cucina a servire la sua magia. Il servizio era attento senza essere invadente. Consiglio vivamente questo ristorante che dista solo due minuti a piedi dalla Stazione Centrale di Milano. I menu sono più lingue. Questo posto è occupato e per una buona ragione. È la migliore esperienza culinaria che abbiamo avuto a Milano! Non passare da questo gioiello!

Adorable restaurant owned by Rita and her husband Salvatore. Found this place through a Google search for Sicilian restaurants near our hotel. We had three dishes; Braciole alla messinese, Caponata alla Palermitana, e Polpo lessato con zucchini e pomodorini. All three dishes were winners! The restaurant gives a locals favorite vibe. The exterior is unassuming, but inside it's decorated like an Italian villa reminiscent of a Sicilian sea side village trattoria. You're greeted like family as soon as you walk in. The owners come by table side to chat and discuss the menu options. Rita is the greeter and mingles with the patrons while Salvatore is in the kitchen dishing up his magic. Service was attentive without being overbearing. I strongly recommend this restaurant which is only two a two minute walk from Milan Central Train Station. Menus are multiple languages. This place is busy and for good reason. It's the best dining experience we had in Milano! Don't pass...
