The Best Seafood Near La Brezza, by the Record
-
Rank 1. Riva
Seafood

-
Rank 3. La Meridiana
Seafood
A bistro in the heart of Domodossola where the fish menu splits in two directions: Italian tradition on one side, the chef's native Spain on the other, with paella representing the home team. The room has been updated over the years, and in summer the terrace looks out over the old town center. His wife runs the front of house and knows the wine list well, which is the kind of detail that makes a place feel like someone actually lives there.

Rank 6. Comi 107
Contemporary Seafood

Rank 7. Acqua
Contemporary Seafood
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.
-
Rank 8. Olio
Italian Seafood
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.

Rank 9. Olio Fishbar
Modern Seafood
A modern seafood bistro in central Saronno, connected to the Michelin-starred Olio in Origgio, which explains why the kitchen punches with more confidence than the postcode suggests. The menu leans heavily into raw preparations and clean, bright flavors, skipping pasta entirely in favor of fish-forward plates and a handful of meat options. The wine list is short and deliberate. Book ahead, even for lunch, the room fills.
