    Chicken Piccata

    I've been looking forward to an opportunity to dine here for a while, due to the interesting building. The inside of the restaurant is interesting also, not just the outside. Unfortunately, the food and service don't live up to the atmosphere. One and done for us. First bad sign was how long we waited at the hostess stand before a hostess approached. A bartender acknowledged us as we walked in - but a restaurant that's serious about service or food doesn't leave you standing there. And the place was mostly empty. The food was ok. The Arancini risotto balls were pretty good. All the food was rushed, like they were in a race to close the kitchen (but it wasn't late). Our salads arrived while we were still eating our app, and our entrees arrived while we were still eating our salads. The salad was no different than you'd get at a cafeteria or chain restaurant. For my entree, they were out of the snapper, my first choice. I had the Chicken Picatta, which was ok. No big complaints, but nothing remarkable. My wife had the stuffed peppers, which ironically were very undercooked and the meat sauce was nearly room temperature. We both had cocktails, which were good, but not good enough to have another and linger around. The waiters were nice enough, but ours (and the other one nearby that I could overhear) sure seemed to be learning their first time server jobs. These were not experienced waiters that make recommendations, describe the dishes in detail, the way the food is prepared or sourced, etc. I wonder if they even have a single experienced waiter on the staff at all, who could help train the rest? Very interesting building, but the food and service didn't live up to our expectations.

    We had high hopes for La Banca in Milton. Their space is inviting, the atmosphere warm, and the staff genuinely friendly. Service was good, and the overall vibe made us want to like it. Unfortunately, the food was a huge let down. We started with appetizers that came out lukewarm at best. The "stuffed" meatball wasn't actually stuffed, just topped with a sprinkle of shredded bagged cheese that didn't melt properly (you know the kind, where the cellulose keeps it from ever really blending in). The meatball itself had an odd, overly chewy texture that didn't feel right. Both of our salads were gross. The lettuce tasted unwashed, like actual soil--definitely not rinsed properly. My Caesar salad was especially disappointing: more of that shredded mozzarella (not even Parmesan) and just two sad croutons tossed on top. For mains, we ordered the lasagna and the chicken piccata, and there's no doubt both were microwaved. The piccata sauce was steaming but had cold bits near the center, but the dish made no sizzle even though the chicken was so blisteringly hot it scorched my mouth. The sauce had completely broken into oil and cream parts, another tale tale of microwaving :( .The lasagna had similar issues: ice cold in the middle, scorching hot on the edges, bone-dry, and topped with more of that cheap cheese that wouldn't melt. Flavor-wise, nothing was outright terrible, but the lack of care in preparation, questionable freshness, and clear reliance on microwaves really crapped on any potential. It's frustrating, because the service and environment make you want to root for this place, but the kitchen just isn't holding up its end. Disappointed but they can improve!

    We absolutely LOVE La Banca! Have ate here multiple times and it always tastes so great. We loved the Bruschetta app so much!

    My husband had heard great comments about this fairly new restaurant and as we moved to this part of the country recently from out west (Phoenix, San Diego and previously Philly) we were excited to find an Italian restaurant that was better than the average to below average restaurants we have tried along the Ohio and Kanawha river corridors. La Banca did not disappoint! This is our new favorite restaurant. From the minute we got ou of the car we were sucked into the old school mobster theme yet with a fresh pinstripe suit (metaphorically speaking). La Banca has been installed inside the old Milton Bank. Break out your Tommy guns. From the heavy iron outer doors to the brass banking security plaques you are feeling it! We walk in the door to find a great looking fully stocked bar to the right. An enormous red tilled cylindrical wood pizza oven (I'm thinking Jimmy H woulda fit nicely).. it is 3 levels with an elevator and all in black and white. Classic old-school yet fresh. Black leather booths lots of air and space. Now the menu is varied with fresh choices and classics For my husband a great wine list. For me an excellent martini and I chose a Bartender's choice cocktail flight. Sammi our server/ bartender set me up with two different types of mojitos a passion punch (loved it) and another of her originals made with elderflower and tequila. Both her creations were the best! We had a charcuterie board to start which was perfection He ordered a Marguerite pizza which was average. Good crust and toppings but the sauce was a bit too sweet for his taste. I ordered the chicken Picatta (one of my lifelong fav's). It was almost perfect! The lemon caper butter sauce with shallots and linguine was 9/10! Followed by Tiramisu (of course). Best meal we've had in years! Top this all off with excellent service and a caring and knowledgeable (soon to be mother) bartender/server Sammi Honestly we thought she was the manager or part of the ownership as she was so invested in our dining experience. Brava- Bellisima One more thing... she even changed the background music when she overheard heard us mention that all that was needed was some Dean Martin or Sinatra in the background!

    Love how they remodeled the old bank!

    1st time experience last night for a bday dinner date with the hubby. Atmosphere was great and servers were friendly. The shrimp Alfredo was the best I've had in a while. The Twin Tenderloin was delicious, that brandy peppercorn sauce is . I highly recommend the Italian sweet cherry Margarita (yum). The fried cheesecake & tiramisu were phenomenal. The only thing I could have passed on was the garlic bread & fresh rolls. lol. We'll be back. 5/5 stars!

    Bland Alfredo

    Where's bar rescue????! I have been many Italian places private and chain, and this is by far one of my worst experiences. Slapping cream and cheese together does NOT make it Alfredo and how do you ruin the most simple dish on the menu? Not to mention I had to FISH for my chicken in a sea of cream sauce. My friends got no refills, had over salted sauce drowning theirs too, and the bar was loud and obnoxious where all the waitresses gathered. Our waitress was so inattentive we spent half the dinner w the manager and less than a quarter with our actual waitress. At the end our waitress made a snide remark that a unsweetened tea "had been drank so she couldn't take it off the bill", a $2.50 drink, but we had never gotten a single refill for it the whole time. I am not one to say boo for no reason and the manager was great but the rest of this experience was just disappointing. They used sauce to cover their mediocre food and ruined perfectly fine food. Considering this mild place was drowned in sauce, it really sank when there was no offer for comp discount or dessert by the manager when we voiced issue- then when our waitress DID offer a discount- the bill went UP. I AM NOT KIDDING. do not eat here. Go out of town or to a chain restraunt and believe me- I hate to say that. Keep it simple yall cause this is a small town fail.

    See all
