L’isola de Tesoro is a Sardinian restaurant whose decor is devoted to the Cagliari football club. The kitsch-y atmosphere is beloved by locals, who bring their entire extended families for the massive portions of food. In fact, the fried seafood dish was so large, my companion and I ended up merely splitting a pasta after we polished it off. The seafood comes with a large pile of crispy slices of pizza, which is almost a meal in itself. And the Spaghetti Vongole with Sea Urchin and Bottarga we ordered was enough for two. Lots of briny clams, with the spaghetti covered in gobs of bottarga and richly flavorful sea urchin. This is a must-order for seafood lovers. We ordered an after dinner drink, and we were presented with a basket of lovely little biscotti, which we munched away on, marveling at the relaxed Milanese atmosphere. Friendly and helpful service, even though the place was humming!

Not what I expected from a restaurant but a great dining experience and I’d certainly recommend! The whole place is thoroughly decked out in sporting memorabilia, almost to the point of being a shrine, which was somewhat wasted on me but if you’re a sporting fan will enjoy! However that novelty doesn’t detract from the service or food which is top notch.
We arrived early without a reservation so were lucky to get a table, since it’s very popular amongst locals and tourists. The staff were welcoming, helpful explaining anything on the menu needed, and remained attentive throughout. There’s a pretty large food menu translated into different languages, although the options do seem to differ slightly depending on which language you look at. Portion sizes were good though, presentation was decent and it was certainly a filling meal for the price.
A more unique setting than anywhere else in the city so whether you’re a sport fan or not, I’d recommend.

I’ve knocked off a star due to the ending of the evening in respect of the bill. We ordered a bottle of wine then a small carafe of wine. Fish ordered from menu sea bass cooked in salt ordered a salad each. We were given ‘complintary’ pizza breads so we didn’t order starters. Fish came and was filleted in front of us. It was cooked to perfection. I decided to have a dessert so was taken to see what was offered and plumped for tiramisu. Some liqueur was brought to us we assumed again complimentary as no mention of cost. Then the bill. We queried the bill, the Fish had jumped from €23 each to €35 each because it was bigger. Said we asked for menu Fish no mention of size. Bill reduced but drinks added were not Complimentary. We paid but left no tip and disappointed from what started as a lovely evening in a lovely restaurant. Can recommend to eat there but wary of what you order and ask the price of each item you order including anything brought to the table. We expected a bill of €100 bill arrived €142, we agreed in the end to pay €130 after we thought were complimentary drinks were removed.

We booked the table for four and got very lovely round table at the corner. The waiter was super nice and helpful. He recommended White House wine which is super good easy to drink. Thank you for the wonderful evening. The food is amazing! Especially the Linguine Lobsters was my favourite. Recommend Tiramisu for dessert as well Want to go again.

One of the best restaurants in Milan, if not the best in my opinion. My trip to Milan is not complete if I don’t visit at least once. The food the atmosphere and service are truly amazing you will not be disappointed.

This was a last minute find on our last day in Milano but it ended up being one of our best meals! All dishes were very well executed and the entire family enjoyed the food. Tiramisu was delicious. Highly recommended.

From the moment my wife and I stepped in, we warmly welcomed and treated like we were visiting a family. It was a very busy night and we anticipated the food to take a little longer however they gave us complementary focacia bread on top of the bread basket and breadsticks that were already on the table for free. When the food eventually came, it was very delicious, my wife was licking her fingers – the kind of meals you would eat at Nonna’s. Highly recommend this place for value, atmosphere and service.

We had lobster linguine and Schnitzel, also some prosciutto. The lobster linguine was the star because the sauce was very tasty. The Schnitzel was a bit thin and dry even though the portion was huge. The service was excellent. The vibe was nostalgic to Italian football fans.
