A historic Brera establishment since 1976, Trattoria Il Cestino is a poetic corner among the neighborhood’s cobbled alleys: an intimate and elegant setting, with an outdoor area overlooking the liveliest streets and a more private upper room.
Today, Il Cestino is a seafood trattoria that engages with Milanese tradition. Every day features fresh catch and Mediterranean recipes: crudi, oysters, tartare, plateau royal, seafood risottos and pastas, paella, grilled dishes, and fried seafood. Alongside the seafood menu is a wide selection of pizzas made with long-leavened dough, premium ingredients, and wood-fired baking, ranging from great classics to gourmet combinations. To complete the experience, there is an extensive wine list featuring Italian and international labels.
