    The food and service were excellent. This is our favorite restaurant for Italian food. Our server Erica was very attentive to us and met our requests with a positive attitude. I highly recommend making a reservation. It was very crowded but we only waited 15 minutes with the reservation.

    Wonderful experience! A must experience! Traditional dishes prepared in a nouvelle cuisine style. The complimentary bread and tapenade were delicious starters. The fried artichoke hearts which are typically a holiday family favorite had an interesting Sriracha drizzle twist. The Tuscan soup was not a typical thick bean and sausage soup. It was more of a pink broth type soup with a few beans, few greens, small but delicious piece of sausage and a crouton type toast, again delicious. The ricotta gnocchi were amazing but I think I would have preferred it in a red sauce. The ricotta cake was the best I’ve ever had! A wonderful crust with a warm soft center and with a cherries. Will definitely be back!

    I had a wonderful experience at Milano this evening. The atmosphere was cozy and the food was excellent. We enjoyed the desserts! Our server did a fabulous job spacing out dinner from appetizers to the main meal to dessert. She was helpful and kind. I would come again.
