Waiting for a table took longer than we had planned, but once we were seated, it was all worth the wait. Starting with customer service: our beverage order was taken and delivered promptly. Our waiter (Tecle) came to our table and answered our questions and made recommendations. My friends ordered a burger and it was served on Parmesan bread, they gave it a "10." Cooked the way they ordered it and they loved their choice. I ordered a Roast Beef sandwich that was listed as a "favorite since 1971." I asked our waiter if he would recommend it and he said "definitely," so I went with that. Very happy I did, it was excellent, but a huge sandwich, I could only eat half. It came with waffle or plain fries. My fries came out barely warm and I got our waiter's attention and he abruptly stopped what he was doing and brought me "hot" new fries. The last person in our group ordered "Beef and Broccoli" Chinese food and that came with fried rice or steamed rice, he chose the fried rice and it came with Hot and Sour Soup which he said was amazing. I explained to our waiter that one of my friends was 82 years old and he eats a bowl of vanilla ice cream every day and I needed to know if they had any. Our waiter smiled and assured us that he would bring it right out. Can't ask for anything better! It turned out the gentleman that ordered the ice cream recognized our waiter from a previous restaurant he worked in. It's a small world. read more

This place is honestly my go to restaurant when I stay at Peppermill. They have a plethora of menu options, they're open 24 hours, they're just a walk away from the hotel rooms, and the food is absolutely delicious. The inside is spacious, elevated, and welcoming, and the staff are nice. I love how their nametags also include their ethnicity. During one of our visits, we had a server who was from the Philippines and my family bonded over that because we are also Filipino. I tried different things from the sandwich menu. Their Chilled Deli sandwich is a fan favorite, and I enjoyed it very much. I also tried and enjoyed their Clubhouse sandwich. I also tried things from the Asian menu, namely the Asian Sampler, Wonton Soup, and Stir Fry Vegetables. All of them hit the spot, and those were enough to feed three people. The ambience is nice and chill, and I'd definitely come back whenever I'm in the area. read more

Cafe Milano is exactly what you expect from a larger casino - massive menu, big portions comfort food. We ordered the kid's spaghetti, kid's French toast, and a chorizo breakfast burrito. The kids' meals did their job - simple, familiar, and filling. Nothing fancy, but the kids were happy and that counts for a lot when you're dining with littles. Portions were generous, so we took home leftovers. The chorizo breakfast burrito was flavorful, hearty, and satisfying.. though not mind-blowing. Breakfast seems to be one of their stronger lanes, but like many have said in other reviews, consistency can be hit or miss. Ours was good, just not hot-off-the-griddle great. Service was friendly and efficient, and the space is clean and casual. Prices feel a little high for diner-style food, but we're all keeping up with the economy. Bottom line: This is a dependable, family-friendly option when you want lots of food & lots of choices. Not somewhere I'd go out of my way for, but great when you're already at the Peppermill. read more

Only positive note I have to write is that they ate the only restaurant inside the Peppermill that is open for late night eats. They have a massive menu, with every cuisine choice possible (which is a sign poor quality IMO). Food was decent and edible but not somewhere I would normally choose to eat. Serving sizes are huge and definitely shareable. read more

Wow!! Loved everything we had here!! HUGE proportions!! We easily split our entrees. A very diverse menu which I wish I made more time to try everything. The chicken quesadilla had the best cheese pull and chilis in it! The veggie omelette was also full of the freshest veggies and cheese served with hash browns and toast. Great Bloody Mary! read more

Update for special dining option for New Years: Absolutely loved the special dining menu for the holiday! To be expected, it was CRAZY busy, and the restaurant was packed! Food was good though, and price point was right for the amount of food I got. Our server wasn't really attentive to our table, so that was disappointing. read more

Service was great, the food was a miss. I did enjoy the salmon, the country fried steak was gross (mainly the gravy), the veggies were great and fresh, the clam chowder was good, we also had the tomato soup and tasted like the can. The fish and chips, salad were ok, but the one thing I had that was fantastic and didn't take a picture of was the Chicken Chow-mein- will have to come back and try it again just to make sure it wasn't a one off but it was delicious! Locals get a 20% off, so I would go for lunch and that's about it. read more

What a solid 24-hour option in Reno! The Peppermill Hotel & Casino continues to deliver, including this OG cafe that has a refreshed interior and the upscale diner food you may have enjoyed at their sister restaurant in Las Vegas. We ordered the Cobb salad (5/5) and the prime rib dinner with mashed potatoes, steamed vegetables, and salad (4/5). Prime rib was very flavorful but a tad overcooked for medium rare. A very thick slice and just the right amount of fat. Served with au jus and creamy horseradish. Yum. The tables were clean and the service was friendly and attentive. Stop by the Fireside Lounge next door for a dessert drink! Same cocktail menu in both the Cafe and the Lounge. Will return. read more

My friend and I were craving a light night snack after a long day of travel and work. I really wanted fries in particular. We stayed at Peppermill and Café Milano was one of our few late night options that served fries. The restaurant looks nice yet still casual. We were greeted right away and we let the staff know we just wanted to order takeout. They handed us a menu then took our order. We both opted for the grown-up grilled cheese $13.50. They quoted us a 15-minute wait so we decided to run up to our room to change. By the time we returned, our food was ready. We immediately devoured our sandwiches, which hit the spot. The sandwiches were big and came with plenty of fries. We probably could have shared one order, but we didn't know. Consider Café Milano if you need a late night option! read more

We stayed at the Peppermill Resort , on our second day we wanted to try this restaurant so we came down. It was 10 of us. The sever was quick. She took drink order and went ahead and took food order for those who were at the table already. My sister and I arrived minutes later but she made sure all the food came out at the same time. There was always coffee refills and we got all we needed to enjoy our meals. Food was great. Portions are huge, I took 1/2 of my food to go. Service was great, my server I wish what was her name but she was great too. Next time we come back to Reno we will be back to this place. The place was quiet , a bit busy and pretty clean. Unfortunately I Didn't take pictures of everything since my phone died. We will be back! read more

We were in a hurry so we dined at the counter. This is no Gordon Ramsay establishment. The chefs were enjoying themselves as they cooked. Our server Qian and the expediter William were delightful. It was nice to see the respect all of the staff had for each other The dinners come with a choice of soup or salad and dinner rolls. I chose the clam chowder. It was hot and delicious with lots of clams. I was stuffed after eating the bowl of chowder. Hubby enjoyed his salad and said the ranch dressing was creamy and flavorful My entree was the vegetable penne pasta with a chicken breast. I ordered it with out mushrooms. After seeing that it had mushrooms, Qian sent it back and gave me a complimentary bowl of fruit. The pasta was really good and enough to feed several people. My husband had his usual prime rib. He said it was slightly overcooked cooked but still tasty. read more

Service was good! Server was fast and kind. The food was actually super good. The kids spaghetti tasted a bit plain and off but everything else we got was yummy. We ordered some gravy and toast. The Asian sweet chili wings I think they were called which were crisp to perfection and the sauce was delicious. I asked them if they could make an iced coffee and they didn't that's that on menu but tried as hard as they could to make it for me. We also got some French toast for the kids and shared a breakfast burrito. I would go back again it was very good! read more

A great spot for lots of tasty dishes - not quite as fancy as Biscottis but still darn tasty. We've been coming here for many, many years - since it was called the coffee shop and you could still play Keno while you dined. Lots has changed but the quality is still usually quite high. A few times the omelettes and burgers have been cooked a bit long, but service is consistently friendly and offerings extensive. The muffins are always a highlight for the fam though biscottis seems to have more variety on offer than cafe Milano. Don't sleep on the pumpkin cream cheese muffin when it's available - it's to die for. Prices are a little steep but the generous portions make it worth it - and 20% off for locals (with a players card) helps out too. read more

Solid option for lunch at the Peppermill Resort. I got a salmon sandwich to go. Service was good although they did take about 15-20 minutes to get the food out, which they notified me of beforehand. Overall the dish was good, the fries were crispy and tasty. The avocado on the salmon was a nice touch and they gave a generous portion. The bread was nicely toasted and buttered, the sandwich itself was huge as well! The salmon itself I found rather lacking. It was done well but I don't think it was seasoned at all, or if it was I could barely taste it. Some salt, pepper, or even oregano would have been a nice touch. I certainly expect it for a dish that I paid $25+ for. I also got a latte to go, which was great for an afternoon pick me up and enough to save for breakfast the next morning. Overall it was a good experience, just missing some things that could have made the dish stand out. read more

Come two Peppermill for the kids so they could go to the arcade. Had to make sure you feed them first. There are so many choices on the menu everyone was able to find something they wanted. The food was OK, the service was great. It's just pretty close to the casino so it definitely smells like smoke, which is tough for the kids sometimes. Would try it again if we were in the area. read more

Cafe Milano in the Peppermill Casino Resort Reno has some plusses and minuses: Plus: They are open 24 hours. The menu has a lot of options. The pricing is fair (a little bit cheaper than some of the other options in the Casino). Minus: The Asian portion of the menu is not available late night. Being seated, and your service, can be quite slow, especially if they are busy. They tend to get order details wrong (don't heat up the cherry pie slice, etc). The ambiance is just fine. Casual, sort of diner style but maybe a tiny bit nicer. read more

I love the peppermint gives 20% off every day to locals, especially because their restaurants are awesome. Service is also good but my goodness has anyone ever actually finished a whole breakfast there? I swear their breakfast would be a family of four. Thankfully, my husband and I split the chicken fried steak which you can see how big the serving is. The steak was a little bit tough it probably could've used a bit more tenderizing, but was good. read more

This was a pleasant experience. The dining is oriented more to an older clientele. I base that off the decor, service and fare. With that, I'm either showing my age, or they do very well at what they intend to do. Provide a decent breakfast menu (as well as lunch and dinner), in a clean quiet establishment placed in the Peppermill Resort and Casino. Normally I do not like Casino dining. The wading through cigarette and vape smoke to get to your destination. I appreciate the effort by the Peppermill to clean the air with purifiers, it helps. Food was good, an average preparation and presentation, service was average to good. Most important and sometimes difficult in high volume establishments. It was clean. Thank you. read more

This was the first time eating here. Me and the girlfriend had a Caesar salad and added a chicken, the club sandwich and came back later and had a hamburger. The Caesar salad was good, but unfortunately, the chicken was overcooked and dry. My girlfriend thoroughly enjoyed her club sandwich. The hamburger was cooked perfectly, medium and was juicy and tasty. I was kinda impressed with that hamburger. If you like your french fries crispy, like I do, make sure you tell them. They weren't bad, but not crispy enough for me. The decor was pretty nice, you won't feel like you're eating in a casino diner. Finally, the staff is friendly, attentive and helpful. read more

As part of our annual tradition, we found ourselves once again at Café Milano inside the Peppermill--and it did not disappoint. I started with the clam chowder, which had a rich, flavorful base, though I personally prefer it a bit thicker. My husband and I split the prime rib French dip, a longtime favorite of ours. The portion was generous and perfect for sharing. We had a group of six, and everyone enjoyed their meals--from the classic burger and crispy BLT to a perfectly grilled patty melt. The food was consistently delicious across the board. After a long car ride, a light, refreshing beer hit the spot and helped us unwind. The atmosphere was relaxed and not overly loud, which made it easy to have conversations and enjoy each other's company. The staff were attentive, kind, and made us feel welcome. We'll absolutely be back--some traditions are just too good to skip. read more

We took our daughter and grandchildren for dinner, seven of us, and had a delightful evening. We didn't realize that they served Asian food which my grandchildren love. I had the Pan Fried Noodle with shrimp which I would give it a 8/10. The sauce was runny, the noodles was soaked and it didn't appear to hav3 been fried; on the plus side, it came out hot with plenty of shrimp, Bok Choy and other vegetables. My wife had the Prime Rib dip and said it was filling and brought have of it home. Our grandchildren had some noodle dishes and didn't have any complaints. Our server was very attentive and made sure everyone was happy with their meal. read more

Café Milano is a hidden gem inside the Peppermill. Great food, warm ambiance, and refreshingly fair prices. Whether you're in the mood for a casual bite or something more filling, their sandwiches hit the spot--fresh, flavorful, and generously portioned. The setting is cozy but lively, making it a perfect spot to relax between events or meetings. If you're visiting the Peppermill, don't overlook this place. It's an easy win for a satisfying meal. read more

At the Peppermill, this is a great place for a quick munch or a full meal. with extra Ranch dressing and a house roll. I have not had the house roll The service is always prompt, and within a few minutes of my settling in, two servers had asked for my drink order! I already knew what I wanted (I have several "go-tos" here), and within a few minutes, the meal--I mean, the munch--was in front of me. I ordered the Milano house salad with extra Ranch dressing and a house roll. I have not had the house roll before here. The salad was fresh, crispy, and cool, and the house roll was okay. A nice carb side for the salad. And lots of Ranch showed up! I only used two. The iced tea was kept full, and I was offered a to-go iced tea on my way out. The tea was $5.50, a bit pricy, so get one for the road when you are here! My server, Minh T., was very proficient and friendly as well. Thanks! read more

This is Peppermill's 24/7 coffee shop/diner serving breakfast, appetizers, lunch/dinner, dessert with a few Chinese dishes at the back of the menu. I remember this spot used to be dark with fake trees and neon lights...and now it's bright, airy and almost "fancy" for a 24/7 spot. I used to get the French dip often and must say it's still as good as I remember with freshly carved (thin) prime rib with the option of doneness! Perfectly rare as requested with a flavorful au jus. For the price, thankfully it was delicious! The potato salad was yummy and devoured. Service friendly, straightforward and attentive. Great option if you can't decide what to eat. :) Pricing with a drink and tax: $30 read more

Café Milano at The Peppermill is one of my favourite venues for a quick lite snack. I love the ambiance of Cafe Milano and there are many choices to choose from on the menu. My server efficient and attentive and talked me into having the soup of the day, Clam Chowder, which was very nice but there was room for improvement. Before ordering the London Broil, the server warned me that the London Broil was generally served between rare and medium-rare and with that warning, I told her to bring it on. It was served with Mashed Potatoes and Steamed Veggies. The London Broil was absolutely delightful and paired nicely with the 1000 Stories Zinfandel. As always, Café Milano did not disappoint, providing me with the perfect lite afternoon snack. read more

Something is going on here, because the food has not been as good as it used to be. If you get the French prime rib dip, prepare ti be disappointed The used to give you delicious meat & piled high! Meat was dry, and a small amount. Fries were good, breakfast in morning was good, but its changed some things. We ordered ch8cjen wings as well, some were not done inside some were. Not very happy when you pay 21.00 for a sandwich you were looking forward too, and 20.00 for 12 wings when only 6 were good enough to eat. My husband will never complain, its embarrassing to him, so we lef5 and said we probably will hv t9 start eating at other places outside casino. read more

Good food, good service, fast in and out! The Peppermill casino also has other great Restaurants!

We've been 3 times in one weekend, April 2026. Turkey dinner was good once during peak dinner hours. Second night, the chicken fried steak was absolutely THE worst, a thin frozen, deep-fried plank that should be served to no one, ever! Salad was old, half-wilted with that distinctive plastic bag taste and brown edges. Overnight (3am), turkey plate was disgustingly terrible. Turkey was literally different colors. Broccoli looked wilted and discolored and tasted like they added thyme and some sort of oil (not butter) to it. Mashed potatoes were cold and had crusted on top presumably from setting out. The mgr apologized and said it should not have been served to me. My husband got breakfast overnight which was barely okay. Requested crispy bacon and got limp bacon that appeared to have been under a heat lamp for some time. I tried chicken sandwich overnight and the toasted roll tasted like "old greasy grill" that had not been cleaned in years. You may find something edible if you go during peak hours like we did the first day, but we won't be going back. Upside is workers were friendly, as well as manager, but the food definitely needs major improvement! read more

A convenient 24hr restaurant at the Peppermill hotel. It wasn't good and it wasn't bad. Just a good place to eat that's available anytime. Quality of food was ok, don't expect too much from a 24hr joint. The interior itself was pretty and felt like dining at an expensive restaurant. Prices were pretty pricey, service was exceptional! The meatloaf was more on the sponge side - so I'm assuming a lot of filler like breadcrumbs. Rice lacked - but being Asian I'm picky with my rice. Clam chowder was yummy! Great service, ok food & convenience. read more

This review is long overdue. Cafe Milano is one of my favorite restaurants in Reno. The food is top-notch and the friendly servers ensure their customers are satisfied with their meals and the quality of the service that is received. Each visit has been a pleasant experience for me. I have been a satisfied customer since 2021 and I am looking forward to dining there in the years to come. The food is great. The environment is comfortable. The servers are awesome.
