DeRos Restaurant

Seafood specialized restaurant in Milan. The location was nice, close to the Brera neighborhood. The staff was kind and the food was great. To be honest I didn’t like that much at that time but as time goes by it is becoming the best restaurant from my trip in Milan.

My mom, my mom's cousin, and I had no reservation one rainy night at 8pm in Milan on our last night in Italy after a two week trip. We were fully expecting to be turned away judging from the calibre of the restaurant, but the maître d'hôtel welcomed us with a warm smile. We were then submerged in a deep blue glow reminiscent of being deep underwater. We chose seafood because for the two weeks in Piemonte and in Valtellina, we had a fair share of the bounties from the valleys and the mountains. We ordered a bottle of sparkling water to start, and the server poured it into each of our glasses, which was the first time we received such a level of service in whole two weeks! We knew that in Northern Italy, especially in Milan, each dish is a personal serving, but we wanted to try all the flavours so we informed the server that we wished each dish to be shared. Such requests were often shunned at the tables in these two weeks, but here, they were pleasantly accommodating that we were each delivered a warm plate for antipasti and were advised that we should taste the carpaccio of yellowtail at last because the plates were warm. Each dish was crafted to capture the delicate essence and fresh flavours of each ingredients, and were presented with such care that showcased the attention to details by the chef and the kitchen staff alike. The recommendations by the maître d'hôtel was on point, and we were particularly fond of the grilled octopus and smoked pasta! DeRos created a memory for us to remember as we left Italy, with genuine, welcoming, and wonderful staff, delicious and carefully crafted food, and a sanctuary away from the rainy streets of Milan. Thank you again for being excellent in all aspects of the dining experience. We hope to return again soon when we are in Milan.

Decided to give it a try since reviews at Google showed up it was a good idea. I found the staff really friendly and happy to bring any recommendations, apart from this I consider the food is average and quite pricey considering price/quality and portion sizes.

What a great spot in Milano! The food was absolutely delicious super fresh, full of flavor, and beautifully served. It’s not one of those touristy places it feels like a hidden gem where the locals go, and the quality really shows. The vibe was relaxed but elegant, and the service was super friendly and professional. Loved everything about it can’t wait to come back!

The ambiance at DeRos Restaurant is elegant and comfortable, and the service was quite good — the staff were friendly and attentive, which made for a pleasant dining experience. I tried a few dishes, including oysters, octopus, and pasta. Unfortunately, the oysters had a noticeable fishy taste, quite different from the French oysters I’ve had before. They might not be of the same origin or quality. The other dishes were decent but didn’t particularly stand out in terms of flavor or presentation — they were just average. Overall, it’s a decent spot if you’re looking for a quiet and well-serviced seafood restaurant in central Milan. However, if you’re seeking exceptional freshness or something truly memorable, it might not fully meet expectations.
