Il Faro di Casoretto — Restaurant in Milan

First the good things: Place's design looks ok, nothing amazing about it, old traditional itallian restaurant Everything super clean and shiny and for been a place that specialize in sea food has a good smell

The average things: Service is a bit weak. The waiter is friendly and quick to take order but lacks of motivation to make suggestions and offer options and the way he serves is like he had 0 school or training on the matter, pouring wine over you, the plate was put odly in the middle instead of in front and lacks of motivation when ask for suggestions on the menu. White wine was really good, I asked for dry one and he delivered, but then leaved the bottle open in front of me instead of chilling it (I ask just for 1 cup)

The bad things: I order shrimps with oil and garlic for starter and they were just plain, tasteless and they even thre into the plate a couple of dirty coriander leaves... just sad. You can tell that they were those small shrimps you can buy frozen in a super store ... but guess what?: those 12 tiny shrimps (i count them), cost me €20 euros... almost 2 times the cost of a full 350gr frozen bag of.shrimps in PAM

For main dish I order the "rombo" fish and guess what... AGAAAAIN!!!. Same de-frozed taste in parts and others not so bad, so I cannot guarantee it was frozen from supermarket but sure not what I expected from Milano, with tastless sparragus. I had to add salt like 3 times and of course... $20 euros. The sauce tho it was freshly made you could tell and not so bad

Bread on table was old and chewy.

If you want not good... AMAZING, fish, you can eat in Mercato Centrale, by the main train statiom, for the same price. Amazing quality and amazingly cooked... this place is not worthy, yesterday I ate in Milano Centrale oysters + fish fillet (catch of the day) +wine and potatoes for 41 euros in Mercato Centrale. Today in this place i paid €50+ for a fish without flavor, defrozed shrimps, 1 cup of wine and sparkling...

Went here this Tuesday evening. Place was FULL! Luckily we had booked. This is a family -run restaurant for 50 years. The owner is Tuscan, a wonderful elderly lady bursting with good energy. Service was excellent. Food- seafood antipasto for 2 people - 28 euros. This was excellent as there are a surprising three different plates which are served consecutively. Main- my partner had tuna fillet - simply excellent. Succulent and so fresh. I had Turbot with shrimp and courgette. This was less interesting as the fish was in a (tasty) sauce- 20 euros each. Wine - Arneis- 24 euro. Excellent. Dessert- millefoglie - tasty but would have preferred it a little fresher. 2 digestivi. Total 119 euro. Not cheap but well worth it. Check out this lovely restaurant. ...

They have a wide menu, it was hard to choose from, finally I picked grilled vegetables and grilled octopus. Both were very delicious. Both were very simple dishes, grilled vegetable had eggplants, zucchini, bell pepper, and some kind of bitter leaf vegetable. The olive oil, focaccia. it was obvious that they use the best quality and fresh products. I ended my meal with gelato which came with fresh berries, also very...
