The story
In a city better known for meat and risotto, La Risacca Blu stakes its claim as a destination for the finest seafood in Milan. This is the “regno” of Giovanni and Carmelo — two brothers whose roles are clearly defined. Giovanni greets each guest with warmth and attentiveness, while Carmelo, the chef, works in an open kitchen, combining fresh ingredients with pure skill. The result is a refined yet welcoming atmosphere, equally suited for a romantic dinner or a celebration with friends.
The restaurant’s dedication to quality has not gone unnoticed. La Risacca Blu is recommended by the Michelin Guide, a recognition that confirms the excellence of its seafood cuisine. The Michelin inspectors praise the freshness of the fish and the attention to detail — qualities that set this restaurant apart not only in Milan but beyond.
Every dish at La Risacca Blu is a tribute to the sea. The menu moves from the freshest crudi to creative antipasti, then to first courses rooted in tradition and second courses that let the day’s catch shine. Carmelo’s open kitchen allows guests to watch the action as he works between pots and pans, creating plates that are a symphony of color and aroma.
One standout is the tagliolini with mussels and pistachios — a dish that perfectly balances the delicacy of the sea with the crunch of Bronte pistachios. The recipe is a testament to Carmelo’s approach: simple, fresh ingredients elevated by technique. The menu also includes light, crispy fried fish and carefully prepared secondi, all built around the freshness of the day’s selection.
La Risacca Blu is more than a meal; it is a journey through the flavors of the sea. The restaurant’s commitment to selecting the freshest fish ensures that every bite is vibrant and authentic. Whether you come for the crudi, the pasta, or the grilled fish, you leave with a lasting memory of Milan’s best seafood.
