Our second time there. One of the best features: Great cozy atmosphere, whether you come as a couple or with a family. Also, we came on a Friday evening, and although it was crowded, the staff seemed to handle this smoothly. I ordered a pizza and it was truly incredible (Veg). My husband ordered pasta w/ marinara, but we were not so impressed. We'll probably return and try other dishes, though. We chose to eat at the bar where service was okay. I say okay because it was clear the bartender wanted us to leave. When we were done w/ our meals, she slid our check toward us, not even asking if we wanted dessert, not thanking us, not anything. She seemed more attentive to the 2 men at the bar. So, anyway. We'll sit elsewhere next time. Not a deal-breaker, just surprising. read more

I had the specialty pizza, Foxy Shazam. It was a garlic base pizza sauce with mozzarella, feta, egg, yolk, and tomatoes. So delicious! My cousin and I split a Caesar salad that was fresh and tasty! The place is small and cozy with a lovely bar. If I lived closer, I'd probably eat there once a week! read more

Padrino - Spaghetti and Meatballs - Pizza Near Me - Milford, Ohio

We have ordered pizzas here a few times now and they have been solid every time. Speciality pizzas are written in on the board behind the bar, but not on their website. Worth asking about or calling in to order. They had a lobster pizza a few months back that was awesome. The staff are friendly and the dining room is noce with plenty of seating. read more

Padrino is spacious with indoor seating , and outdoor seating. I opted for the bay since it wasn't crazy busy in a Saturday afternoon . The garlic knots were a hit . I don't love the chicken Parmesan. It is large portion . However the chicken is pre breaded , it taste similar to a tv dinner. I also think it lacked sauce. I would get a side salad f marinara in the future. ( I showed it boxed the 1/2 o didn't finish ) . This place has been in my list , however I want to go back to try the pizza . It maybe a better experience . For now it's just okay. read more

I have never eaten in the restaurant. I have done carryout and Doordash with my family. Overall the food is very good and the prices are reasonable. They are higher of course on Doordash. Some times when ordering on Padrino's website you get free delivery if you order $60. Friday night (2 days ago) it wasn't there so we did doordash. The meatballs are very good. We ordered a Pepperoni pizza. I was disappointed in it; especially when it's over $20. I thought it was an average pizza with little cheese. My wife and son liked it. I would rather get a large Papa John's pizza for $10. I have gotten the chicken parmigiana twice now. It comes with a ton of Spaghetti. It is enough for a dinner and lunch with noodles to spare. It is good not great. The salads were very good and large - Caprese and feta with cranberries and mixed greens (I can't remember the name). The large appetizer for over $20 was not worth it. Yes you got 2 meatballs but the fried mozzarella and fried zucchini were bad. The garlic bread was small and average at best. My son and wife got pasta dishes. My wife's vodka sauce didn't have much flavor. Our bill 2 days ago was $150. I would not call it worthy of that price but the food in itself deserves 3.5 stars upgraded to 4. read more

Food was so good and the back patio on a sunny day was a perfect way to end a workday. Great selection of craft beers, pasta and pizza. Appetizer sampler is a must try if you want a starter. We had the lasagna, manicotti, vodka and sauce tortellini. Would order any of them again. For a birthday treat the gave us a cannoli and it was so good...I'm not normally a fan of cannolis but would come back and order this. read more

Stopped by for take out at lunchtime on a Friday. The first thing I noticed as I walked up is that they have a window open to the street to give the inside a nice patio feel. This was my first time in, so the bartender gave me a menu to check out and then came back shortly to get my order of a meatball sandwich. It took about 15 or 20 minutes to get it so I might call ahead next time if carrying out, but that small wait was definitely worth it. The meatballs were tasty, as was the sauce. I could only eat half but Hubby happily ate the rest and now wants to go back with me next time! read more

My compliments to the photographer the food on the reviews looked wonderful. They were like glamour shots for the food we received. This was pub food. It was good but nothing fancy. I'd eat here again read more

Stopped by for lunch and was surprised by the pizza. It was way better than I thought it was going to be. The crust had a good undercarriage and they give you a bunch of cheese which I love. The restaurant its self was not the cleanest. My water glass was dirty when I got it and the service was quite slow. I think they might've been down a server that day. I would come back just because the pizza was that good! read more

Our first visit to Padrino. It was about 11:30 on a Tuesday and not crowded. The staff were nice and very friendly. The pizza was delicious and came out really fast. My only criticism is that the tables are small. I would certainly recommend Padrino. read more

Party of two. Appetiser of garlic knots with homemade marinara sauce. Perfect. My lasagna would have been great but it had WAY to much salt. Both of us agreed. I should have sent it back. Alfredo linguine was perfect. The 10 stars of our meal was the blueberry lemon cake. Service was great. Xavier was right on point. read more

Seems like most of the places I have to review tend to be restaurants. I may need to look at how much we eat out. We have been to Padrino's many times and finally was on a review roll so thought I would show them some appreciation as well. They offer a fresh take on Pizza, lasagna, and pasta's. Everything just tastes fresh. The staff has always been great and the prices are lower than you would expect. Overall a great experience. read more

The lady I called was really rude and lied about being an owner to scare me off from calling

The staff here is very friendly and kind.The restaurant itself has very welcoming and chill atmosphere. The servers and staff were very efficient and accommodating to seating arrangements and such. The food came out at a great pace along with our appetizers, highly recommend the garlic knots and the chicken Parmesan pasta!! read more

Had a mid week lunch there. Pretty quiet and not too crowded (easy street parking!). Service was attentive and pleasant, spaghetti and meatballs were really good. Pasta was al dente good, meatballs were tender and flavorful, marinara was thick but not chunky (housemade). Added the "garlic knot" for the heck of it and glad I did - it was soft and tasty but not too large, and complemented the meal well. For a good meal the price was fair, and the meal was good so I call it very fair! Spacious inside with plenty of tables, the vibe is clearly a neighborhood one. I hear the pizza is a thing there, so I aim to return for some of that! read more

Pretty good food and awesome staff and ambience. Garlic bread was awesome and overall a good outing.

My husband and I were there around 3pm today.Waited 10 minutes and no one acknowledged us, all though 3 employees were there so we went elsewhere. Please do better. This was your Milford location. read more

Been a regular for years, staff is so friendly, feels like a family dinner when we go. Great food, reasonable prices, very friendly staff.

Just scraping by, not a very good place anymore. I'd rather have any other chain pizza place. Overpriced and lacking quality.

Food was great. Service was great. Great place to have a casual get together with friends.

We had a great experience at Padrino! We came in on a Friday night around 6:30 with a group of four and had to wait about 30 minutes for a table, so I would recommend making a reservation if you know beforehand you are coming. We started off with the garlic knots which were delicious, and you can add a single garlic knot to your order for $1.50, so I'd highly recommend doing so! For entrees, I got the chicken carbonara pasta and it was delicious. The grilled chicken was perfect texture and the sauce had great flavor. I tried some pizza as well and it was some of the best pizza I've had. It's a nicer restaurant, but also the kind of place to come in with families and it is very affordable given the quality and service. Additionally, it's in a very cute area in downtown Milford with an ice cream parlor next door. I would highly recommend Padrino, as it's a perfect place for families, friends, and has incredible food! read more

Very good filling food for dinner. Good Italian pizza and super nice staff. They were able to remember the peppers and Parmesan for our pizza. They have an interesting drink menu which I would love to come back and try as we had wine tonight that was very sweet. Overall a very good meal that we were able to sit outside and enjoy our food with great weather in the front of the restaurant. They do have a back porch to eat at for more outdoor seating and have a nice bar for drinking at. Their menu has a bunch of options to choose from but isn't too overwhelming. read more

The good was good and the servers attractive. All the young ladies wore tight spandex shorts which makes for nice eye candy. The chicken carbonara could have used a little more sauce but it was good. Nice patio seating out back. Grace was a very good server. I'll ask for her again! read more

Padrino - Chicken carbonara - Pizza Near Me - Milford, Ohio

The food is usually pretty good depending on the time you go. Wouldn't recommend going an hour and an half before closing as staff gets pretty rude and your food is usually close. Feels rushed overall. Small space but nicely decorated. Outside seating is nice in the summer. Wish it wasn't so expensive for what you get. read more

I had a lot of mixed feelings about this place. Here's why: The Good: -Garlic knots - they're a little doughy, a little crispy, have a little Parmesan, super delicious. -Lemon Basil Martini - you can actually taste the basil in it which I liked -Manicotti - I would come back for it Prices were reasonable The Okay: -Spaghetti and meatballs (they were fine but nothing fantastic. Meatballs were huge but a little chewy. Very dense. Happy The marinera wasn't sweet. The Bad: -We went in on a Monday at 5:15pm. Yet, they were out of two of their specialty cocktails, root beer, and grenadine. The cocktails did not share the same ingredients nor did they have grenadine so that means they were out of a lot of stuff. -I ordered the martini the moment I sat down, before we even ordered apps and dinner. The waiter definitely forgot about it and I had to remind him. So I got it with my entree which I hate. I don't want to drink a martini with my pasta. -We ordered salads but never got them. I feel like if it weren't for "The Bad" this place would have gotten 4 stars. It was good, but with so many other phenomenal places around, it needs to step its game up. read more

It was our first time here. I ordered a house salad, never got it and chicken Parmesan. There were two breasts. The one on top had cheese but the one below it had no cheese. My sister's eggplant Parmesan was the same. Only one had cheese. Not right. Our waitress was soooo busy and didn't give us much attention. My husband did love the vodka tortellini. He was the only happy one of the four of us. read more

Nice place, but waiters / waitresses take forever to take an order!!!! I had to request 3 times before one came over to our table.

Pretty good spot located in a great little area of shops and eateries. The service was fast and friendly and the pizza was good! What really looked good was all the pasta dishes that when by so that's on our list for next time. It was a very casual atmosphere and kinda had a pub like feel, nothing too fancy. Would eat here again for sure. read more

Needed a quick bite after a few beverages at happy hour! It was 8:40ish and the folks down the street at the National were borderline rude when we walked in and asked if they were still serving food. We took the hint and walked another block to Padrinos! Great choice! Very welcoming ... let us know the kitchen was closing soon... but just get our order in as soon as we can. We were served before 9:05 and out the door by 9:25. Great staff and great food!! The Nation forever lost a customer and Padrinos reinforced a long standing customer. Thank You!! read more

Padrino is our go to spot if we can't decide. You know it's going to be fresh and filling. We have liked everything we've ever tried. Their drink menu is extensive and the bartenders are quite knowledgeable. read more

I just want to say I am such a fan of their thin crust pizza. It had a great balance garlic, basil, sauce and cheese. This is a pretty popular place so please come with patience if you are to order food here. The staff was attentive and kind throughout the entire meal. They handled dinner rush very well for a Saturday afternoon. Despite the wait, the food came out fresh. Their mixed drinks were something special as well! I loved their Adult Swim drink and will likely order it again if I find myself in Milford ready to dine in. My friends ordered desert, I don't remember the name of it but they all raved about well prepared it is. We all enjoyed our experience here and will definitely be back. read more

Another great place in Milford! Great pizzas, meatballs, cannolis, everything! This is one of my go to places. As I write this, I think I'll plan another visit there ASAP! Give this place a shot, I definitely recommend it! read more

Came here on a Friday night because I was looking for chicken alfredo because if you have a craving, you go get it! Lol. There's definitely a vibe here and it's like young college students and local families which is interesting lol. It was pretty busy so we sat at the bar because they still provide full service and I was super hungry. The menu is very interesting and I don't know if I would really consider this authentic Italian food but it does the job and it's pretty good. I ordered the chicken Alfredo and it came out super quick, it needed a little bit of salt and more Parmesan cheese which I was able to add and all was good. My husband ordered the chicken "carbonara" and that was really interesting. True carbonara is pasta, egg, pecorino and/or parmesan cheese, with guanciale. Their version of carbonara was Alfredo sauce with bacon, peas, and parmesan which was really interesting but my husband enjoyed it even though it wasn't true carbonara. We also ordered the garlic cheese bread with marinara sauce and I have to say I really like that lol. I felt like that was the star of our dinner. Anywho even though not truly authentic Italian food, I would definitely come back here just because it was a good time, a good vibe, and the staff was great. read more

I was surprised business was pretty slow. I know that they have a popular business. There's only a couple of places to eat in the area many of which were closed at the time. Everything was really good. The garlic knots that aren't shown are hot and good. The chicken was so tasty. I wish I had ordered chicken fingers. The bacon on the club was so crisp and the vegetables were fresh and tasty. They have a sauce that tasted pretty standard, it's kind of watery too. Seating was no problem. They have a bar and television. They are also one of the only places on the strip with a restroom. I want to go back more often to try more menu items since everything was very tasty. read more

Score on this place! We just moved to Cincy area, new to the Milford neighborhood. Our first Friday pizza spot we chose Padrino and I'm sure glad we did! This place is easy 4.5 stars +. So because everything we ordered, on a Friday night, was on point. Like really yummy. Imma give it 5 stars! We ordered the ceasar salad - great dressing, garlic knots - great bake and large pizza - sausage/mush for my man and fresh spinach/banana peppers on mine. I'm a NY pizza snob (and garlic knot snob) and this was a homerun. It is a different flavor sauce that I'm used to and it didn't suck. Crust was super good, cheese blend is magic and all Ingrediants were fresh tasting. We will be back and will taste the dinner menu. This has set the local pizza bar high! read more

Never a bad experience at Padrino! Food, service, cleanliness all hit the high marks. Garlic fries are a must. The Ranch... omgosh the Ranch, I could drink this stuff. Salads are super fresh! Pizza both gluten free and regular crust are high quality and everything you want in a pizza. Not too fancy, not boring. Perfectly made! read more

Tonight my friend who recently recovered from ankle surgery wanted pasta she heard about Padrino in Downtown Milford so we stopped by and we're seated right away. We were then welcomed by John who gave us time to review the menu. We started with the fried mozzarella mezzaluna's ravioli shaped version of mozzarella sticks with homemade marinara sauce. John told us a crew comes in every morning making the restaurants sauces from scratch & you could tell delicious Then to the main dishes there were a variety of pastas to choose from my friend selected chicken Parmesan and I eventually decided on lasagna. John said it's very cheesy which I love. Our food came out of the kitchen minutes later hot, loved the lasagna was in its own crock container and the chicken Parmesan was huge with 2 chicken breasts. The lasagna was delicious hot, warm & cheesy, it had meat, but could have used a bit more & some more marinara sauce. We also enjoyed garlic knots too. We left stuffed from a wonderful meal and amazing service by John. Stop by Padrino in Milford on Sunday for a wonderful meal. read more
