Milano Restaurant is not only a wonderful spot for authentic Italian cuisine, but also an excellent choice for hosting special occasions. The family-run team has proven that they can handle birthday celebrations, private parties, and even catering services with professionalism and warmth. Every detail is managed with care, from the menu planning to the attentive service, ensuring that guests feel celebrated and at ease. Owners host often also local artists to perform music which makes things quite fun!

The environment is consistently clean and welcoming, with attention given not just to the dining area but also to the bathrooms, which are spotless and well-maintained—a detail that speaks volumes about the pride the owners take in their establishment.

Whether you’re stopping by for a casual meal or organizing a larger gathering, Milano offers the perfect combination of delicious food, artistic atmosphere, and reliable hospitality. It’s a place where you can trust that your event will be memorable, supported by the dedication of Sami, Giki, and their family.

Milano Restaurant is a true gem of Italian cuisine in the city. What immediately sets it apart is the professional and personal service, which makes you feel welcome from the very first moment. This is a family-run business where each member plays a role—whether in greeting guests or in the kitchen preparing dishes with love and dedication.

The atmosphere is warm and unique. Beyond the extraordinary taste of the food, visitors also enjoy the paintings created by the owner, Sami, which give the place a distinctive artistic character. The hospitality of his wife, Giki, is another highlight that makes this restaurant unforgettable—she is a remarkable person who turns every visit into a heartfelt, family-like experience.

From the menu, my favorite dish is macaroni alla carbonara, which I wholeheartedly recommend. Its authentic flavor and careful preparation make it a reason to return again and again.

Overall, Milano is not just a place to eat, but an experience where art, cuisine, and hospitality come together beautifully.

We shared the Margherita pizza, the meat lasagna and cucumber salad. All delicious. We also shared a piece pistachio riccatta cake. So good! The service was great. Definitely a new favorite.

The lady who was taking orders was kinda rude. I walked in & she asked me “takeout or pickup?” I was actually there to dine in but she didn’t even ask that & I felt embarrassed & said takeout please! What a rude way to deal with customers?! Thanks!

We tried Milano last night for the first time, and it's truly some of the best Italian food we've had. I wish we had tried it sooner! The salad was the right size with the right amount of toppings, and the Drunken Linguine was so good. My husband's pasta was spot-on, too. The service was friendly the atmosphere nice, and overall a nice eating out experience. We will definitely be going back.

Pleasantly surprised- happened here by chance leaving the airport and it was amazing. Excellent service, excellent food (Fettuccine Carbonara was divine) and delicious wine. Highly recommend. Owners were so cute with all our kids too.

Had lunch today, Saturday, with a group of friends. The atmosphere immediately took center stage. Bright colors, comfortable seating. Service was friendly and expeditious. Food was delicious with a shout out to the chef’s fettuccini carbonara, packed with pancetta and perfect al dente pasta. Everyone loved their choices. Highly recommend this casual but upscale neighborhood restaurant.
