Andry is a seafood-focused restaurant on Via Rovello in Milan’s Brera district, a short walk from Piazza Cordusio and the Duomo, built around a simple formula: raw-bar oysters, wood-fired pizzas, and a menu that treats fish as the main event rather than a side note.
The dining room has the feel of a neighborhood trattoria rather than a formal fish restaurant, with close-set tables and an open, informal energy that suits both a quick weeknight dinner and a slower date-night meal. Oysters arrive on ice in varying selections, often from French growers, and regulars order them alongside crudo plates, grilled branzino, or linguine with clams. The pizza menu runs parallel to the seafood offerings, giving the kitchen a dual identity that works because both sides are handled with equal care rather than one feeling like an afterthought. Homemade desserts close out the meal, typically simple Italian classics rather than elaborate plating.
Visitor Highlights & Practical Info
Reservations are advisable on weekend evenings, when the small space fills quickly with both locals and visitors staying near Brera or the Castello Sforzesco. Lunch tends to be calmer and better suited for travelers wanting to sample the oyster selection without a wait. The restaurant sits within easy walking distance of the Cairoli and Cordusio metro stops, making it a convenient stop after a day touring central Milan. Ordering a mixed seafood platter alongside one pizza gives a fair sense of the kitchen’s range in a single sitting.
