Steakhouse 10"
Patti F.

This is a very plain and cute Italian spot in Ocala. The ambience is superb. They had a gentleman playing the keyboard with nice dinner music and he was fabulous. We made a reservation and were initially seated at a small table where we felt cramped. The staff accommodated us by putting us in a booth, which I appreciate their responsiveness. The the food was simply delicious. We tried multiple pizzas and main dishes along with appetizers. The service was good, they were attentive and very friendly. I would recommend Milano if you are seeking a tasty dinner with a relaxed atmosphere and good service. It might be better to make reservations and when you do to ask for booth seating as the tables are small and not well acquainted for a party larger than two.

The decor here is a backdrop of various painting that could be considered going for the Italian look. There is a bar area, various rooms and private room dining. The sangria's were so delicious and huge I had two glasses. The pizza was huge, crispy soft delicious crust, great marinara flavor, lots of cheese and toppings. Staff were friendly and the spot seems to be a local favorite.

The food was great. We got the fried mozzarella sandwich for an appetizer and it was great! There was a pianist that set the mood and it was great. Our server was wonderful and had high energy.

The service was terrific. He was attentive and helpful. The restaurant is deceivably large and decorated very well. The food was delicious. We had pizzas and several dishes. Everyone left full and happy their choices. This is someplace we will definitely come back to!

Great pizza that has been consistent each time we've gotten pizza from here. The garlic knots are good and their antipasto is great. For Christmas I ordered a tray of sausage and peppers and chicken Parmesan so I didn't have to cook everything and my family was extremely happy. I wish that I had taken pictures throughout time. Here's today's pizza.

The most recent high priority health violations. Many many more previously

DANGER! *FOOD POISONING* My wife and I came here on a Sunday evening as a nice treat. We are new to the area and were fooled by the 1.6k reviews that must of been from the previous owners We got Italian wedding soup and chicken penne alla vodka. Later that evening we had a bit of a stomach ache, but didn't think much of it. The next morning (Monday), we both had diarrhea and nausea which lasted all day. We figured we were in the clear, especially being young and Tuesday morning the symptoms are still present. This clearly means that there was some serious cross contamination or something in the food was bad. The temperature of the food came out scolding hot, which I found a bit suspicious, as if they had gotten a temperature violation. As of Tuesday morning, I checked the Ocala food health report and this placed is littered with High priority violations, such as storing raw animal/seafood above cooked food, temperature issues, etc. I wish I had read this report before coming here as I would have avoided it like the plague. The saddest part is that this restaurant is a repeat offender of the same things every inspection and yet nothing changes. The owner needs to be heavily fined or better yet, the place needs to be shut down. This is a public safety matter. Apart from the food, the service was quite bad considering it wasn't busy at all. A total of about 6 tables between 2 waiters and 1 waitress. The layout of the restaurant was extremely weird, not that it mattered much, but I can see it being a servers nightmare trying to keep track of tables. Lastly, the chairs. If a chair rocks corner to corner, not a little, but a lot, fix them. Nothing looked maintained, the decor was clearly original which again was fine, but it looked poorly maintained.

Wonderful experience! From the moment we were shown our table until we left, we were treated spectacularly. Our server was friendly, helpful, and best of all brought us a surprise birthday dessert (he overheard us toasting-'smile'). Every dish was delicious: the lasagna, snapper in lemon sauce and chicken penna a la vodka. We will definitely be back!! Ambiance is warm and cozy, there are semi-private booths and a room for bigger parties 4-8. Lovely interior.

Milanos wasn't our first choice for a special Father's Day meal while visiting Ocala. This restaurant is in a strip mall and ended up being an excellent restaurant. Nicely decorated! We were sat promptly and greeted by multiple people. Our server was helpful with suggestions after we asked. Our food was fresh and delicious. The servings were large that I took a to go container home. We couldn't eat dessert but my husband brought home a cannoli. Thank cannoli he enjoyed later in the evening and said it was perfect. Our server was Anthony. What a great guy! He was so good and nice to us with top notch service that we made reservations and at again two nights later. We made reservations and requested Anthony. I didn't take pictures of our food the first time but I did when we went the second time. I highly recommend Milanos Italian Grille, you won't be disappointed!

The place is very nice, tables are separate by Italian cities, which is very cool. Service was very good, staff were friendly. We ordered meatballs, they were juicy and tasty. I ordered the special plate, creamy pesto gnocchi, filled with ricota and come with shrimps, it was delicious! My husband had the pork ossobuco, I loves the meat, but the risotto was lacking flavor/salt. Overall, a great experience.

Bar just before closing.

Went late on a Monday evening. Very nice ambience, had women singing at piano. Food was yummy. Husband had the salmon and I had the pesto gnocchi with shrimp. Nice size shrimp. From south Florida but will come again if in Ocala. Pic of just before closing. Bar was full when we got there.

Service was great. Came in at 5:20 and only a few people in. Bar and server were friendly and…read morequick and had good suggestions. Ambiance felt like a gulf coast dive bar. Even though this was in an outside mall spot in Ocala. Good music and lots of TVs with sports and trivia. Music was good and not too loud. Food... we'll see. Yup. Good. Char grilled oysters were good. Good variety. Crab was pretty good and the shrimp were good.

Stopped in after attending the holiday craft fair at the World Equestrian Center…read more first time visitor, but definitely not last there was only two of us so we grabbed a couple of things to share. We started with the seafood trio appetizer, which had a nice mix of fried calamari, shark bite shrimp, and a cold crab dip that was served with five pieces of warm bread. The shark bite shrimp had a little bit of spice to it, but not overly spicy. The crab dip had a great flavor of Old Bay, but not overwhelming. Then we moved onto the seafood tower which was a variety of cold seafood. The oysters were my favorite. The clams were my least favorite. The oysters were shucked perfectly and were super fresh. While the shrimp was delicious... I do wish they were deveined and shelled. Thee server was nice and pretty quick. We sat outside on their patio area that is basically in front of the parking lot area but it was still nice to be outside. Overall the food was good and I would go back and try a few new things. But I would absolutely get the oysters again.
