Milano's Italian Restaurant

So we went to this place finally to see how good and authentic their italian food was.. I'm sorry to say that I was very disappointed.. We sat next to the window where they had some brown shutters and let me tell you they were full of dust for one. We moved our table away from the windows so that dust wouldn't blow on our food . Secondly, I ordered the eggplant parmesan. It was tasteless, had no flavor the spaghetti was half cooked.. My husband ordered pizza with pepperoni and sausage.They just threw the pepperoni on top of the pizza. It wasn't even cooked.. I know they were busy but come on, get your game together. People pay good money to get good food. I hate to say but we will never eat at this restaurant again.. We will stick to Bella Mia in McAllen. Now, that's some tasty Italian food!!!! They may not be italian , but it tastes a whole lot better than this place!! The only good experience we had was our waitress which was so sweet and attending even though she seemed very overwhelmed..

I’ve been going to this restaurant since I was a kid. The food here is amazing, ambiance is great and the service is to the highest standard. Josiah’s blackened chicken is delectable. 10/10 would recommend this restaurant

We have been going to Milanos for years. We truly enjoy the delicious food and relaxing atmosphere of the restaurant. The waitresses are very friendly and professional.

So sad that Milano's food and service is not the same. We have eaten there several times and have spent special occasions there. Last night was at another level. First, our appetizer, which was listed as portabella mushrooms. Turns out they serve regular deep-fried mushrooms. I'm guessing they think we don't know the difference in mushroom types. They were still good but not what I thought we had ordered. Second and most importantly my husband's lasagna looked like they had just beat it in a box and then served it. The tomato sauce smelt like dog food (unfortunately). My meal was supposed to be a light battered shrimp. (the batter was soft, and the shrimp were raw). On a positive note, though, my daughter's seafood linguini was delicious, and the table oil and bread were good. Our server tried to do his best; he was young. We left hungry and disappointed and still dropped a C-note.

Went late night restaurant was a little empty server (female didn't catch her name sorry) was very friendly made sure we were always having something to drink, tried fried cheese was really good (daughter provided the video) and the marinara sauce was home made, the chef heard was out first time so he gave us some free calipari (very good) pizza came in hot soft and good. Will probably go back again to try out some other stuff.

The best part of our experience was our waiter, Ethan. He was patient with our group and extremely helpful. The food was ok.

The place is very cute. I've been many times since I was small. It's ok. The food is a bit bland. I do enjoy the cappuccino and tiramisu. I feel like the wait staff and servers can use some training? Like they're all kinda impatient. We had a man bring wine to our table and basically yell out the wine brand 3x before anyone had a chance to answer that they ordered it, that was not fun. The atmosphere and food are okay. But the staff might need maybe some more training; like our waiter was so kind but seemed very lost lol. The people who seated us and helped us out though were really cool. If you go I definitely recommend getting a reservation and trying the tiramisu. It tasted authentic.

Not sure if these other reviewers know what authentic eyetalian food tastes like but this ain’t it. Ate their last night, the food was cold, bland, over priced, service not that great. Seems like for a “ local” place they’re more concerned with serving the winter visitors than anyone else. Would not recommend, would not visit here again. Stick with chain restaraunts. These other reviewers are probably just trying to be influencers. Milanos thumbs down.

I was disappointed with this place. It looks nice and was expecting the food to be good. Not worth the $100 we spent for just 3 people. Do not recommend!
