Franco Bloisi

Franco Bloisi is a seafood restaurant in Milan where the menu shifts with the catch of the day — which tells you a lot about what they're going for here. Chef Franco Bloisi runs the kitchen with a focus on fresh, high-quality ingredients, and the cooking leans into refined preparations without losing sight of the produce itself. Zero-kilometer products, gluten-free options, and vegetarian dishes round out the offering, so there's real thought behind what lands on the table. The tasting menu of cooked appetizers is a solid way to get a feel for the kitchen's range. But if you're looking for something more specific to point to, the sea bass meatballs with smoked scamorza on a Vesuvian tomato velouté is the kind of dish that sticks with you — grounded in Southern Italian flavors, carefully put together. The chicory and squid pairing shows the same sensibility: simple on the surface, more considered underneath.
