If you want to eat quality fish and seafood without being too nervous about your bill by the end of the night, Il Pescetto is the place for you! Imagine a fish market vendor with his best fish, seafood, shrimps, seashells on display... You get to choose the fish you want and also the way you want it cooked! You can grill it, fry it, or simply have an amazing tartare or a selection of oysters.
You pay your custom made dishes simply by the weight! Everything you will order is weighed and passed onto the kitchen that prepares your food. As they don't have waiters you will hear your name or number called out by the kitchen team! This enables them to save on the cost while offering amazing quality food.
By the end of the night you will eat tartare, fried or grilled seafood with a side of fries and veggies and wine and spend circa €30. This is really good for eating fish in Milano. I personally love the red shrimp either fried or grilled - they are amazing!
