But after the experience my wife and I had, I felt like I should take a minute and give credit where it’s due. Our server, Joseph, was excellent. In 2026, genuinely good hospitality can be hard to come by, and he stood out. He was extremely friendly, knowledgeable, easy to communicate with, and made the whole experience effortless! You could also tell he was just a genuinely good kid who takes pride in what he does!“

The staff leading up to the big day were so kind, organized, and helpful, and the day-of team was just as incredible - attentive, professional, and genuinely invested in making sure everything ran smoothly. The food was amazing, and the venue itself is truly a dream. Every corner of the property is filled with charm and character, creating the most romantic and memorable setting. We already can’t wait to come back for anniversaries at the Tavern - it will always hold such a special place in our hearts.“

“We just hosted a surprise birthday party at Giorgio's in Milford. Everything was great from start to finish. The planning process was straight forward, the events manager was easy to work with and responded quickly to my emails. The space itself was the perfect setting for our 30 guests, the food was delicious and the service was stellar. I would highly recommend this location for any function or party.“

“The customer service and quality of food at Milanos is top notch! I would recommend them to everyone!“

“Went on a Monday to enjoy their happy hour. Wine by the glass a great value. My guest got the special shrimp dish. Had nice amount of shrimp it but she felt there was too much sauce on the pasta. I had the cheese raviolis with marinara sauce. Delicious and good size. Service excellent. Wish they served Parmesan cheese in bowl with spoon. Shaker they use doesn't work well for cold cheese.“
