Seafood restaurant in Milan
Antica Osteria del Mare: the fish restaurant in Milan that brings the sea to the table every day
The Antica Osteria del Mare is the fish restaurant in Milan where the raw material dictates the rules, every day, without exception. The selection of the fish takes place every morning with rigor and attention, choosing only what the sea offers in its best form: fresh, seasonal and coming from trusted suppliers. In Via Ascanio Sforza 105, fish is never a decorative background but the absolute protagonist of every course, from the first to the last.
The raw food counter opens the experience with a wide and accurate proposal: selected oysters, sea urchins, sea truffles, oil and lemon crab, a raw mix of seafood and crustaceans, tartar and shrimp with seasonal vegetables. The appetizers accurately describe the care that distinguishes this address from other fish addresses in the Lombard capital. Freshness can be seen before you even taste it, and this is already an answer.
The first courses bring the most representative Sardinian specialties to the table: fregola with seafood summarizes the dialogue between Sardinia and the Mediterranean with traditional pasta and a rich, fragrant seafood sauce built with ingredients chosen for quality and not for convenience. The cuisine works methodically and with recipes rooted in the island's gastronomic tradition, without giving in to easy interpretations or simplifications that would betray the authenticity of each dish.
Between the seconds, the grill is the heart of the proposal. Moscardini with polenta, octopus with potatoes, grilled or au gratin scallops, shrimp with seasonal vegetables, turbot alla Vernaccia and light and dry fried foods complete a fish menu that changes according to the season, to always guarantee the best product available. Each dish stems from a precise choice: to bring to the table only what is worth serving, with the same consistency that has accompanied the Antica Osteria del Mare for over forty years in Milanese restaurants.
The selected wine list accompanies every course with Sardinian, Vernaccia and Italian white labels designed to enhance the catch without overwhelming it. A selection built over time, carefully updated and designed to complete the experience of those who sit at this table with the desire to eat really well.

A seafood cuisine experience with attention to every detail
At the Antica Osteria del Mare, care for the guest begins even before the dish reaches the table. The dining room staff accompanies each customer in the choice of dishes, suggests the most suitable combinations from the wine list and responds to every need with attention and professionalism.
The restaurant seats 75 people in an environment suitable both for informal dinners and for corporate occasions and special evenings, with the same quality that convinced the Michelin Guide to include the sign among the reference addresses in Milan.
Selected raw materials
The quality of a fish restaurant is measured before you even turn on the stove: it is measured in the choice of the supplier, in the evaluation of the product, in the rigor with which you decide what goes into the kitchen every morning. The mullet botargo, the Sardinian pecorino cheese and the fresh catch of the day arrive on the table only after a careful and conscious selection.
It is this difference that can be felt on the plate and that tells who the Antica Osteria del Mare really is.
