“ My husband and I celebrated our 36th wedding anniversary at your restaurant, and we couldn’t have chosen a better place. The service was warm and attentive, and the food was absolutely excellent. Thank you for making our special day even more memorable! ”

“ Milano Italian Grille is truly the textbook definition of a classic Italian restaurant. From the moment you walk in, friendly staff greet you warmly, seating you amidst hand-painted art that offers a delightful "crash course in Italy"—a perfect icebreaker for families. If a piece truly captures your eye, you can even purchase it! Our family of seven had the pleasure of being served by Cameron, who was not only incredibly helpful with menu selections but also wonderfully accommodating to our three little ones—a solid 10/10. What truly stood out was Cameron's down-to-earth demeanor; it felt less like a scripted service and more like dining with family, which was a genuinely nice touch. Before we even delved into our main courses, we were presented with fresh, handmade bread and olive oil. This bread, with its incredibly soft inside and perfect crispy crust, was so good I devoured it before remembering to take a picture! I had to order more just to capture its glory (don't worry, none went to waste!). I always order calamari with a drink at Italian restaurants—it almost feels like a crime not to! This calamari, however, is easily in my top two of all time. The squid rings were surprisingly thick-cut, a delightful and much-appreciated change, and the batter was perfectly light and crispy. The dish was so stunning that as soon as I snapped a picture, forks from across the table were poised to dive in. The accompanying sangria was also quite refreshing; while not my absolute favorite, it's definitely one I'd order again, especially given its generous size. While I won't detail every dish, I must highlight two standouts. We were told the pork was going to "fall off the bone," and let me tell you, they were not joking—it was perfectly tender and rich. Amen! I had the pleasure of ordering the Rigatoni alla Grappa with sundried tomatoes (a game-changer!) and sausage. It's similar to a vodka sauce but possesses a distinct, deeply savory flavor that truly embodies authentic Italian cooking. Be warned: the portions are HUGE! Even I, in all my "big back glory," couldn't finish my plate, but I was thrilled to have such a delicious meal to savor again later. I definitely recommend dining in for a date night, with family, or even solo (nothing wrong with that!). You'll be treated like family and leave with a good mood and even better food. I will definitely be back. ”

“ Food was great. We got the chicken Marsala, chicken penne Alla vodka, and the Milano pizza. The Marsala was very tasty, and the pizza was a great size (we got 10 inch). Atmosphere was awesome - we were given a private alcove to eat in, which was super nice. Quiet and secluded from others! Service was nice, we weren’t given silverware though. I had to go up and ask for some so we could eat our salads. Our waitress was nice, however she made a comment on how her manager runs the restaurant. Not a big deal, but it didn’t strike me as very professional to mention that to a guest. It takes away from some of the charm of the place. We wore dresses and were probably overdressed. Would recommend! ”

“ Looks from outside are deceiving. It's a pretty big place and lots of dining choices. From bar seating, large groups and private dining, it's got it all. Food and drinks were good. Salmon Oscar was delicious I was hungry, no pictures of my food. They have live music several evenings a week. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED ”

“ Oh mann. Im so full! Just had the $10.99 chicken parm sandwich with a soup for lunch. They also threw in free bread, which was outstanding! Flet like I was in Europe. Europe has the best bread, btw. The bread on the chicken parm just melted in my mouth and was heated perfectly perfect! Their baker is off the chain! The actual chicken parm was aight. A little tough, but tasty. The cheese on that looked heavy but was light and fluffy. The fries were light and crispy. So good. I advise skipping breakfast. These folks gonna feed ya good. ”
