The story
Antica Osteria Moirago brings a refined take on Italian contemporary cuisine and seafood to the quiet town of Moirago, just southwest of Milan. The restaurant has earned a Michelin Recommended distinction for 2026, a nod to its precise cooking and thoughtful ingredient combinations.
The kitchen works across two seasonal menus, both strong on crudité, antipasti, handmade pasta, fish, and meat. Starters like the cornucopia golosa – a fillo pastry cone filled with seafood fritters – or the tartare di branzino with passion fruit show a confident hand with contrast and acidity. Pastas include spaghetti alla chitarra with cannellini beans, scampi, and bottarga, and pappardelle in a shrimp ragù. For the main course, the tournadot of dentice (gibbus grouper) with asparagus or the Angus beef costata are popular choices. Desserts stay classic: millefoglie, cannoli, and house-made gelato.
The setting is relaxed and welcoming, with outdoor seating available for warmer months. The restaurant also offers wine pairing, takeaway, and meal kits, and can accommodate private parties. Parking is convenient, making it an easy destination from Milan or the surrounding area.
Antica Osteria Moirago’s commitment to quality ingredients and balanced flavours makes it a worthy stop for anyone seeking contemporary Italian dining with a seafood focus, recognised by one of the world’s most trusted restaurant guides.
