Milano Restaurant

Listen, sometimes the ratings here don't truly reflect the quality of a restaurant and I think that is true for Milano. This is a gorgeous setting with an open kitchen, lovely service and great food. That's the short version. The long: I started with a nice white wine and fresh oysters on the half shell - absolutely lovely. Then, because I wanted to stay light, I went straight to a pasta dish, linguine with white clams and chili flakes, and it was phenomenal. That dish is my first gauge, my litmus test, of any Italian joint and they did such a beautiful job with it - hats off to the kitchen! Anyway, don't pass this gem by because it's in a strip mall - it's a great choice.

Good atmosphere, happy waiters, perfect amount of food. Leah M was great! Girlfriend has an allergy and they accommodated her with many options.

This was always a very good restaurant, but it seems that lately it has gotten a lot better. The last two times that I dined there the meals were just superb. The service has always been great, and still is.

We live in the area and never remember to stop there. We had a nice quiet date night. My husband had a beer on tap. I couldn't decide what wine I wanted. The bartender made sure to let me sample a few so I would enjoy what I ordered. We had burrata and prosciutto pizza and it was quick and out of this world. Service was great. Interior was cozy. Food was delicious.

Stopped at Milano last evening on the chance they could accommodate our party of four without reservations. Fortunately for us, we were able to be seated immediately at a great outside table. Server greeted us quickly, providing us with insight into the restaurant and cuisine, highlighting the evenings special menu and highlighting wine list. We ordered a bottle of Sauvignon Blanc and a Malbec which he promptly served to the table. Milano has a wood fired pizza oven. We took advantage, ordering a large Margarita to enjoy as an appetizer. Also shared the calamari, a slightly spicy grilled variation with a great blend of olives, tomatoes and garlic. Both were very satisfying, resulting in clean plates back to the kitchen. Menu is a extensive as well as truly representative of Northern Italian cuisine. Pasta is all house made. For entrees, we ordered beet salad (outstanding), cioppino (ditto), and linguine with clams. A word to the wise on linguine with clams. Sauce is spiced with Calabrian chili. If you like spice, you'll love the dish. Milano has a full bar, extensive wine list and a menu that can accommodate any taste. Service is harried, but attentive and helpful. We'd do it again. Great spot.
