Great experience at this restaurant; we had a very relaxed 3 course dinner. The owner gave us some great guidance when we were undecided on what plates to choose. Each course was delicious and the plates were unique (highly recommend the cous cous). Not only did he pay attention to the quality of each dish but the timing of the dinner altogether; making sure not to rush us through the meal. We had a great dinner and will definitely return.

The chef was very kind and friendly and helpful. All the dishes were very tasty. They provided so fresh fishes. We will visit the restaurant again.

A very nice small restaurant, upscale, perfect for a serious family dinner (as we did) or for a romantic night out. The fish is very fresh and the menu offers different options (but not too many) and none is banal. The Owner, Amis, is very careful not to obscurate the natural taste of the frsh fish with spices or other flavors. We tried also his Tunisian-style cous cous and it was a great choice. Great work to the entire team!

Really nice experience in food and service! I'm not that big on all fish, but I had plenty too choose from. My wife is big on fish and got stress because of the great menu :-). The waiter took his time explaining, had nice suggestions and paired our menu with very nice wine! The food... well that was great! See the pictures. They we're not in a hurry, which is very nice. Not 5 stars because there was some room for improvement, but writing about it would be nagging.

I had dinner at L’Officina del Pesce and ordered the polpo and spaghetti con clams. Both dishes were absolutely delicious – fresh, perfectly cooked, and full of flavor. The quality of the seafood was outstanding, and the presentation was beautiful. The service was friendly and attentive, and the atmosphere cozy yet elegant. Definitely one of the best seafood experiences I’ve had in Milan. Highly recommended!
