Milan has some of the best fish restaurants in Itlay as it hosts the largest fish market. If you are eating fish in Rome it probably came through MIlan's market. This is an excellent restaurant mid to high price range.

The apartment is on a pedestrian only street, private cars cannot access (residents must have a permit). Taxis and Ubers can access the street.
If you are arriving by car the barrier, which is called “ZTL” is a clearly marked camera barrier that is 40 meters from the house. You can unload your car before the barrier, check-in and then park.
Parking within the blue lines is 2 euro per hour between 08.00 and 23.00. You can pay at the parking meters placed on each street. The yellow lines are reserved for residents. Generally street parking is very safe (we park on the street).
