I just wrote this review on Tripadvisor on 5/22/23

Title: A family run restaurant just like in old Italy!

Cafe Milano is a hidden gem. After dining there for the first time and being incredibly impressed by the entire experience, I was amazed that my wife and I could get seated without a reservation. There should be a line of patrons waiting outside this establishment every evening they're open. Cafe Milano may be La Jolla’s best kept restaurant secret.

We live states away and dream about Cafe Milano. Eating here feels like you’re in someone’s home in the best way. The staff and owner are so welcoming and friendly. It was the best dining experience we’ve ever had. You have to try the cheesecake!
