Flavors of land and sea in front of the Colonne di San Lorenzo
In the heart of Porta Ticinese, right in front of the Colonne di San Lorenzo, Nautilus is the trattoria in Milan where cuisine meets the city’s most authentic atmosphere.
Exposed bricks and a large outdoor area overlooking the Basilica of San Lorenzo: Nautilus is a modern trattoria where every moment finds its rhythm.
Perfect for:
Ultra-fresh raw dishes, shellfish, tasty first courses, and “elephant ear” cutlets: each dish is born from the desire to tell tradition with innovation, technique, and lots of personality.
And for those who love retro flavors, the Remember ’80s section brings back the great classics revisited: a fresh and ironic tribute to the myths of an era that continues to make people smile.
At Nautilus, we let the fish set the course: freshness, balance, and lightness are our compasses.
From homemade pasta to tartare, from oysters to golden and crispy fried dishes, each dish best expresses the quality of the raw materials.
Alongside our fish offerings, there are selected land dishes and the “ruota di carro” pizza, with a crumbly and crispy texture.
Nautilus is not just a seafood trattoria in Milan: it's a small Mediterranean refuge in the heart of the city, where you can feel like you're on vacation... even if just for a few hours.
A great dinner experience.
Restaurant next to the Colonne di San Lorenzo, with an environment that makes you feel like you're in a seaside place.
Extensive menu, with plenty of choices for all courses.
The mixed seafood gratin appetizer was very good, and I also had the grilled shrimp and calamari skewers, which were also good. The grilled salmon steak is also recommended.
Very friendly staff read more
Perfect lunch! 🐟✨ Incredibly fresh fish, dishes meticulously prepared and presented with taste. The staff is kind and attentive, the atmosphere relaxed yet elegant. You can really feel the passion in the kitchen. I'll definitely be back!
Great experience. Came with The Fork but will definitely return even without it. We had a seafood risotto (€18 per plate) and a mixed fry (€19). Especially the first courses have very generous portions. The focaccia and welcome sparkling wine were also appreciated. Excellent service and great value considering the excellent quality and location of the place. Highly recommended.
Exceptional culinary experience in the Porta Ticinese area of Milan, about a 10-minute walk from the Duomo. Large, clean venue with a heated outdoor veranda and a large indoor aquarium with various types of fish. You will be welcomed by the dining room staff with a smile and cordiality, who will be able to advise you on what to taste. Welcome prosecco and house specialties, naturally, the fish with revisited traditional dishes read more
This little gem in Milan is a wonderful discovery. The place is clean, well-kept, and as soon as you enter, you feel a sense of well-being. The menu is predominantly fish. I can now say I'm a regular here, but among my favorite dishes is the Catalan lobster. WONDERFUL
I've always passed by there, but unfortunately, when walking towards the center of Milan, there's sometimes a fear of venturing into places that aim to be more touristy than for locals.
I'm happy to say that at Nautilus, it's like being at home, the place is stunning both inside and out, the staff is courteous and available, and the dishes are executed excellently.
A highlight is the cleanliness and care for the restroom, which is invaluable to me in a venue.
I highly recommend this place and, if I could, I'd give it 10 stars and more 🌟🌟🌟😁
