Da Zio Nino

Ok folks, I am going to re-​publish my review. No off topic photos, I promise. This was once an excellent fish store with simple but great, awesome fresh fish dishes, cooked according to what the fish store had available. It was a teeny weeny place and the atmosphere was friendly and informal, the owners really nice guys. Upon my return, after two years of absence, the place got bigger but the food quality was not even close to what it used to be. Frozen fish cooked Italian style with no flavor. The new owners, a Chinese management care more about quantity than quality (Am I allowed to report that? no bias against anyone, Markus dear. I love people from all over the world, grew up in Frisco amongst a multitude of ethnicities, I had Chinese, Vietnamese, Korean, Mexican, Japanese, Tahitian and Peruvian friends who only helped me discover their fabulous cultures and cuisines. I deemed myself to be privileged to be part of such multi-​ethnic community and hey, I’m half Italian and I was only appreciated and never discriminated, my mind is probably more open than yours, considering what you stated in your second letter). Mind you, I believe that world foods are not represented enough in this country as I’d like it to be. But this place now sucks and there’s nothing I can do about it. I recommend to stay away from it. Even to you, Markus dear.

Very good fish restaurant in Milan if you don’t mind leaving the city center and dining among a very loud (but autentic, we were the only non Italians there) crowd. Food was great (please do try the ‘spaghetti with mixed fish’, we could not find this on the English menu but just pointed out other people’s dish as the one we wanted– communication was very limited), although service in English was poor. We had to wait quite some time as the staff were not speaking English (well) and were clearly not at easy serving us. Is this still possible in 2015? Food 5stars, service 3, makes 4 in total.
