Pescetto — Restaurant in Milan

Lovely fish, well worth the wait.

Came here for supper and had to queue for about 30 minutes but it was well worth it. They even gave us free glasses of white wine and snacks while we waited. Can't really complain can you!

Food is ordered at a big counter with everything fresh on display which was fun. We ordered everything together and shared. Little to no english signs though, so be prepared to whip out your google translate.

Potato and octopus salade was the best. The octopus was cooked to perfection, had an almost fudgy texture. So good. The potatoes it came.with were also really nice, they had that creamy texture I love. 10/10.

Calamari was really good, good chunky bites and not a hint of rubberiness. 8/10

Oysters were absolutely amazing, super fresh flavour and nice large size so you get a good mouthful. Not sure if chef forgot or they just don't do it that way, but the meat wasn't detached from the shell and a butter knife isn't really the best tool to use, other than that, perfect oysters. 9/10

Tuna was good, but probably the weakest dish in my opinion. Didn't quite have the impactful flavour as the other dishes. 7/10

Potato wedges were great, same creamy texture inside as the octopus salad, but also nice crunch on the outside. 8/10

The restaurant itself was a blast. Really busy and fun atmosphere, everyone having a good time. Wait staff were great, really welcoming and friendly.

And then, after all that the bill came to just over £50. Really...

The service here is noteworthy for its efficiency and friendliness, making every visit smooth and enjoyable. Although the menu left us spoilt for choice with its array of seafood delights, a small wish for the addition of French fries lingered. This classic side could be a comforting complement to the exquisite seafood, adding a familiar touch to the diverse offerings.

Pescetto stands out not just for its culinary excellence but also for its commitment to quality and atmosphere. It's a must-visit spot in Milan for anyone seeking a memorable seafood dining experience.

Pescetto was famous for his fresh fish and seafood with an acceptable price in Milan! But recently they increased the price and it in not convenient anymore eating there, especially because we paid the price for a well serviced restaurant, but at Pescetto everything is self services... so we do not understand firstly why we need to pay a cover fee of 3€ each but then we have do everything by ourselves. The dishes we pick up from the kitchen, the knives and forks are packed, and the napkins are paper. The food is very simple, and no so many choices. We paid around 60 euro each person with only few plates of food. 16€ for a small plate of octopus and potato, 24€ for 6 pieces of salted cod fish with small piece of baked bread... (that recipe is venetian, but they added potato inside the cod fish, that was disturbing the taste, of course they did it for cost saving). With this price we could choose a better serviced restaurant and treated as great clients. Of course it is a perfect place for people that is looking for an experience of eating in a...
