This place is excellent family dining. It accommodates couples and families equally well, and when you visit you'll see all ages, eating in harmony. Their decor is very striking and the folks are friendly. Enjoy an excellent meal, well cooked and well served. Reservations are recommended in the winter, particularly around 6:00.

Great location, tremendous staff and a varied menu with great servings and quality ingredients. An atmosphere that enpuages the diner and does not try to "hustle" you in and out.

The restaurant is very attractive, a Tuscany theme, extremely colorful and well done--unusually nice for a non-chain. This is family owned and you can tell. They are so friendly and happy. There is a bar with sports on TVs, which we enjoyed. And the restaurant part is separate and lovely. They have a huge variety of food including Mexican, Greek... More

Milano's always serves a wonderful meal and the service is consistent. We have really enjoyed the many decorations they put up during special holidays, it always feels so festive

We wanted some take out food for dinner so I went to Milano's for a pizza. I got two for the price of one and would have been happy if the pizza had not appeared to be oversalted. So our experience was mixed although I will try again.

Perfect example of a very ordinary restaurant that can be found in almost every town. This place will probably survive for a few years and then just disappear. No creativity or love put into any of the dishes we tried. The service was friendly and very efficient. The atmosphere is comfortable for a larger restaurant. This place is very over... More

The menu here is varied from pizza to seafood entrees etc so there is something for everybody. This seemed to be a busy, popular place and there were lots of tables of families with children. The food was good, the service was excellent and the martinis were perfect. However, this is a place for a good hearty meal with family... More
