Da Vic, also known as Ristorante Guerrini, is a family-run Italian and seafood restaurant at Via Gaetano Previati 21, on a quiet residential street in west Milan near CityLife and the Buonarroti metro stop. Its motto, “cooking by instinct,” sums up the approach: market-driven Mediterranean cooking, careful plating, and a serious wine list. It draws food lovers and couples marking special occasions.
From the street, the restaurant looks modest. There is no grand facade, so the food carries the evening. The menu changes with the seasons and leans on locally sourced ingredients, with fish and shellfish at the center alongside Italian classics. Plates arrive composed with precision but without fuss, and the wine list rewards guests who ask for a pairing. Diners consistently praise the warm, personal service. That reputation shows in its 4.6 rating across more than 2,100 reviews on Tripadvisor, where it once held the top spot in Milan.
Visitor Highlights & Practical Info
The dining room is intimate, so book ahead, especially for Friday and Saturday dinners and during Milan’s fashion and design weeks. You can reserve by phone at +39 02 43515186 or through davic.it. Confirm the current opening hours when you book. If you want a calmer room, choose a weekday evening. To get there, take Metro Line 1 (red) to Buonarroti or Amendola, about 15 minutes from the Duomo. Arrive early and walk through the CityLife towers and park before dinner.
