Additional Details
The restaurant's name is Nina - Trattoria e Pizzeria di Mare.
I tried this trattoria for lunch, which makes you feel like you're on an exotic beach, with umbrellas, swings, and seafood flavors.
From the menu, I chose appetizers, a first course, and a second course:
seafood pizza (Baccalà: smoked fiordilatte, radicchio, and marinated cod with jalapeños). Very good and crispy.
Catalan-style shrimp; (there's an asterisk, so they're frozen.) Excellent.
Pantesca-style amberjack tartare with capers, olives, and confit cherry tomatoes.
Croissant with stracciatella, lemon-smoked tuna, roasted peppers, and capers (2 or 3 pieces).
For the first course, orecchiette alla crudaiola with cherry tomatoes, cacioricotta, and bottarga (delicious).
For the second course, amberjack meunière with capers and chili-flavored pak choi. The asterisk means it's frozen. (Very good). For dessert, tiramisu and apple pie with ice cream. Prices are average.

I had dinner at this restaurant this evening. We had a large appetizer for two, a first course for me, and a second course for my husband, two glasses of wine, water, and a coffee, and spent about €75. Fair for Milan and the surrounding area. The food was good; almost all the fish was marked as frozen or blast chilled, but it was still tasty. The setting was elegant and quiet, unlike the restaurant next door. The service was particularly attentive; Stefano, a very young and kind man, served us.

We had lunch at this little restaurant. I really liked the atmosphere; it almost feels like a seafood restaurant, with its simple white and blue decor. We ordered paella and scialatielli with mussels and clams. Everything was delicious, with generous portions and reasonable prices. The waitress was friendly.

The atmosphere is beautiful and relaxing, perfect for an evening with friends. The fish was fresh, well-cooked, and we enjoyed all the dishes we ordered. It was a great experience and we will definitely be back.
