The Best Seafood Near Faletta 1881, by the Record

The sand on the floor is imported from Spain, and you'll receive sandals before you sit down. Davide Scabin's one-Michelin-star tasting menu restaurant inside the Grand Hotel Sitea is a full theatrical commitment: a single seafood tasting menu that deliberately runs heavy to light, opening with turbot and red wine fish glaze before easing toward vegetable-forward, acidic finishes. Completely straight-faced about the whole thing, which somehow makes it funnier.

1. Michelin Guide 1 Star

A Michelin-starred seafood restaurant in Lombardy where the owner pulls up a chair at the start of the evening to talk you through what's in before you look at the menu. The cooking is contemporary, the crudo is the thing to order, and a raw crustacean plate lands with the kind of generous plating that makes Champagne feel like the obvious choice. The wine list leans that direction anyway, with plenty available by the glass.

Olio sits inside The Box, a space that somehow combines vintage cars and contemporary art without feeling like a dare, surrounded by olive trees that make the setting look implausibly serene. The restaurant holds a Michelin star for seafood cooking that keeps its ambitions in check: traditional foundations, restrained creativity, and ingredients that do the heavy lifting. Lunch runs as a bistro; evenings shift into something more considered.

The oyster plateau arrives in three sizes and reads like a passport, with Italian, French, and Irish varieties arranged by origin. This is a seafood restaurant near San Siro, elegant enough to dress for, where the menu moves from raw shellfish to fire, the chef notably skilled on the grill. The tuna belly saltimbocca gives you a sense of how tradition gets handled here: with a light hand and a clear point of view.

A fishmonger that gradually started feeding people, Pesceria San Martino is a small, unpretentious seafood restaurant in Ciriè where the front room is intimate and a glass conservatory opens to the garden in summer. The kitchen leans into what you'd expect from its origins: very fresh fish, fried squid available to take away, and a "seafood charcuterie" that earns its quotation marks. Weekends fill fast, so book ahead.

Soft lighting, a soundtrack turned up just enough, and a crowd that dressed for it: Langosteria is a sleek seafood restaurant on via Savona that Milan has made very much its own. The menu leans classic without being predictable, and the raw fish selection shifts daily with the market. The wine list runs deep into serious labels, which fits the room. Bring someone you're trying to impress, or at least someone who won't flinch at the bill.

A seafood trattoria where the menu is mostly a suggestion and the real action is whatever came off the truck that morning. The cooking pulls from Sardinia and broader Italian tradition, clean and unadorned. Regulars let the owner steer, which is the correct move. The roasted turbot with porcini and potatoes is about as fussy as it gets, and that tells you everything about the kitchen's general philosophy.
