Da Claudio Review

One of Milan's oft-repeated idiosyncrasies is that it is a landlocked city and yet has the freshest fish in the country: The best catch is trucked up here from the shore every night to chase those bankers' euros. The best place to enjoy Milan's maritime bounty without dispensing a fortune is at this Brera fish market, which becomes a popular raw bar at night. Almost everyone goes for the mixed plate, which includes raw tuna, sea bass, salmon, red snapper, sturgeon, shrimp, prawns, and cod, or whatever else didn't sell that day. Order a plate for 13€ and enjoy it standing up at the counter (there are no seats) with a glass of prosecco, which is on the house. After more than 100 years in the same spot, in late 2009, Da Claudio moved around the corner to its current, more spacious location.

About Our System

Frommer's ranks every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment it reviews for quality, value, service, amenities, and special features using a star-rating scale, an expression of the strong compare-and-contrast opinions that are a brand hallmark.

Other ratings provide stars based primarily on price and amenities; the Frommer's star rating is meant to quantify the kind of intangible, experiential elements that help travelers make informed decisions.

The "baseline" recommendation is zero stars--every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment that Frommer's chooses to review is recommended; otherwise, we simply wouldn't include it.
