“My husband came home and put $20 in my hand and made me promise to have lunch here today. He's been bragging oh them for weeks! If my husband puts cash in my hand and wants me to spend it, who am I to say no? I was running late as usual and was worried I wouldn't have time to stop, so I called ahead to speed things up. She said it would be ready in fifteen minutes. No surprise. Hubby said that there are so many people willing to wait to eat here, it's always pretty busy. I was nearly ten minutes early so I stood in line to pay and wait my turn. As soon as she saw me waiting there, she asked if I was the steak and cheese no onions, which I am. She took care of me right then and had others ready to take care of the line. We just moved to the area, and I can't wait to make this place a staple in our usual places to have lunch. The atmosphere reminds me so much of a deli my granddaddy used to take me as a kid. Thank you for the awesome service and incredible sub!“

“Being new ti Ocala, we have been challenged to find a decent restaurant. If you looking for the most kindest and professional service, the most authentic Italian food anywhere look no further. Milano is the real deal. I’ve never been treated better in any restaurant than we have been here, with amazing Italian food to back it up. Our two visits here, literally speechless. Everything from the soups, sauces, pastas, are made in house. Their meatballs are the best thing I ever ate. Not going anywhere else for Italian food. All of this is coming from an Italian from Philly….“

Pizza is stone fired and is so delicious. Crisp salad and ice cold. Yummy and very fattening Italian yeast rolls are served with each meal. That’s the extra touch I love. Will eat there again soon!“

We watched our calzone being made to order, so we were definitely ready to eat when they brought it outside to our table. It was both huge and delicious, with tons of cheese. The 2 of us ate our fill and brought home enough leftovers to feed another adult dinner. I highly recommend you give this place a try.“

“What a great surprise! Looking for a pizza place in Ocala that wasn’t too expensive but that wasn’t the typical chain that have terrible crusts…We were 4 people and a toddler (who surprisingly ate a full slice!) We had an XL cheese pizza (8 big slices!) that fed 3 of us (and the toddler). Then, bonus! They also served gluten free pizza. Usually, pizzerias who do offer gluten free only have tiny 10”. But here they also had 14” gluten free! Quite the unicorn. And so tasty.They were both so good and tasty! Both normal and gf crusts were delicious and the sauce was flavorful and so good. Our teenage kid said it was the best pizza he had ever had!Seems like it’s a good place to have a couple of slices for lunch - since other customers at lunch time on a weekday were doing that!Staff were very friendly and helpful and it seemed clean and cozy.“

My kids and husband said the pepperoni pizza that we ordered (a whole one, not by the slice) was just OK, not good or great.The women in there were beyond helpful and nice. Fantastic employees there for sure.“
