We've both celebrated many a special occasion here in the 90s and this time was no different. I was extremely happy to see that absolutely nothing had changed. That kind of reliability is exactly what you want from your favorite restaurant back home. You basically want to leave it in a time capsule and walk back in after 30 years to find it right as you had left it. The place was bustling per usual. The server was fantastic. The wine was great. The house salad and house dressing were so good they made me want to scarf down vegetables. But the meatball grinder... THE MEATBALL GRINDER!!! (I now live in a place where we call them subs, but nothing compares to a good grinder.) It was culinary perfection: the bread was golden and crispy on the outside and soft and warm on the inside. The perfect balance of bread, sauce, cheese, and meatball. And the flavor of the meatball itself was perfectly seasoned and balanced. I'm already 100 miles away and I'm still thinking about it and will be for days... weeks... MONTHS! Until next time

The place was hopping at 5:30 on a Sunday evening. We were in town to see Chelsea Handler and I'm…read moreglad we got there early. They gave us a buzzer, told us it would be about 25 minutes, and we went into the bar to have a glass of wine and wait. I must say the chaos was beautifully controlled. Lots of room in the bar, and a spot to order drinks if you couldn't get a seat at the bar. Generous pour on the wine. And sure enough, about 25 minutes later our table was ready. Waitress was friendly, helpful, professional. Servings were more than ample. Fried calamari appetizer was delicious, crispy, not at all greasy. My daughter really enjoyed her chicken dish. I, however, was disappointed, and I blame myself. I should know better than to order eggplant at a restaurant. If I'm ordering eggplant rollatini, I'd like to taste the eggplant. I don't know why restaurants insist on slicing it so thin that you can't actually taste the eggplant, just the breading. It's not that it's an expensive ingredient, it's gotta be cheaper than the cheese....anyway, I'd go back but hopefully I have learned my lesson - if I want to taste eggplant, I'll cook it myself.

We made reservations and were brought to our table fairly quickly considering the amount of people waiting in the lobby. We ordered calamari and the garlic knots special for an appetizer. The appetizers took a while to come out, so our waitress brought our salads first. The salads were good. Calamari got great views and the garlic nuts as well. Or dinners also took a while to come out on a busy Saturday night, but everyone liked the food. The ribeye was overcooked but we didn't want to send it back and wait longer. Filet was good, lamb chops were excellent, baked stuffed shrimp got rave reviews. Veal marsala was swimming in Marsala sauce. Way too much sauce. Fettuccine was good. We had desserts. Those were good too. The staff saying happy birthday to the 90-year-old birthday girl. That was very nice. Overall, it was a good meal that took nearly 3 hours but we had appetizers, dinners and dessert.

Sadly. It's now open six days/ week, from 4 to 8, except 4 to 9 on Fridays and Saturdays. COVID-19 did a number on Milano's, as it did on so many other restaurants. One thing that hasn't changed is my 5-star rating. Service is outstanding, portions are Dagwood size, and recipes that have been in the family for generations make any meal a culinary memory. I had my usual chicken marsala w penne. Their cm is rivaled only by my nephew, Joey's. Entrees come w soup or salad. I opted for the Italian clam chowder. Delicious. My friend had chicken parm which she loved (and took about 75% home). No pix, as we left our phones in the car. If you like Italian, you should seriously try Milano's!

We got clams casino and they were some of the best I've had, the clams were huge! We also got chicken franchise, eggplant parm, and a side of broccoli rabe. All of the plates were extremely large, they absolutely did not skimp on portions. The chicken was cooked perfectly and the eggplant parm was the best I've ever had. It was huge, and assembled like a lasagna almost. I cannot get over it and will be returning just for that. The broccoli rabe side was bitter and delicious. Service was excellent, everyone was so nice and the inside is really nicely appointed. We also got the tiramisu sundae for dessert and it was also huge !!
