Absolute gem!!!!! Milanos caught my dads eye so we stopped in, it was a little before two so the owner was setting up but he welcomed us in with open arms. The man and his wife are absolutely amazing, he's from Italy! Food was delicious but let me tell you, when the owner came out with a giant bowl of his tiramisu cream he was hand making, I was SOLD! I could never eat another cannoli or tiramisu elsewhere it was the creamiest heaven! He adds TOFFEE pieces! Also all kids meals come with Gelato!My dads been to Italy so it's a plus when he finds a good quality place and he was in love! The environment, the owners, the food, ALL of it! Reminded him of being in Chicago.After eating the owner came out to talk with us about his little red fiatt! It's an original from Italy! The owner puts bears in it! And it says on the license place "Italians don't die they just pasta away" the entire place represents family, good quality food and service, and that's what restaurants should be about!

My cousin had passed by Cafe Milano numerous times, and so she and I decided to go. We checked the website and learned that the restaurant was open until 10:00 on Tuesdays, so we headed over there around 8:00. The small outdoor area was adoroble and we were greeted by a bright entryway and a sign that said Benvenuti. When we walked in, the interior was colorful and bright as well, and it had a classy, yet quaint ambiance. I liked it already. I would say that the restaurant was about half-full at the time, but most of the customers finishing their meals or on their way out the door. We were promptly and warmly greeted and seated. The staff was all Italian. I asked it it was a family run business, but our server said, "No, just friends". However, it felt like a family.We were informed that they were known for their handmade pasta, and we were provided with a description of the specials for the night. We started with the calamari and a bottle of Chianti Riserva. The wine was great... they had a lot of options. The calami was just OK in my opinion, I felt that it was a bit too breaded and bland for my taste. My cousin chose the lobster ravioli and I chose the Tortellini Milano ( with prosciutto and peas). The pasta courses were excellent, and rather generous.Toward the end of the meal, my cousin had a hankering for dessert. We were then told that they "really" close at 9PM and that our server was leaving, but that we could stay. I was a little taken aback and felt ready to leave, but my cousin pushed on, and we shared a tiramisu. We were the last of the customers that night. The staff member who stayed with us was kind and did not rush us, but I feel that if the website says 10 and your customers want dessert, you should not tell us that the restaurant closes at 9.All in all, a delicious meal and a generally positive experience.

Just so delicious, the bread, yes even the bread is so good! This place is the real deal. When I order lunch I'm unable to get a glass of wine because I am working. I'm hoping to stop by after work to relax and have a glass, will update on that later.

Come for the food, stay for everything else!! Came here looking for Italian food, and we were blown away! Pasta was homemade and so close to pasta we've had in Italy! Some of our faves were the calamari fritto, the Caesar salad, lasagna, the fettuccini Milano and the spaghetti with homemade sausage. The star of the show was the tiramisu!!! I have no words!! I've eaten a lot of tiramisu and this one was just top tier. Would go back just to be able to have this again! The kids meals were also huge! We didn't order drinks but the table next to us did and it looked like they loved it. If I get to come back, I def would!And on top of it all- the staff!! The staff was soooo warm and pleasant. The fact that this is a family business shone through the entire place and the food. The ambiance was so warm and cozy and felt like your grandma was making your favorite warm bowl of pasta. Do yourself a favor and come here for date night, a family celebration or even just to show yourself some love! Thank you for the great meal!

Food - 10/10. Best lasagna I've ever had. Best minestrone soup I've ever had. Excellent Italian wine menu. I could eat here once a week if I could. Service - Everyone seems to get a long and work together to get the job done. All servers spoke to me instead of just one. People constantly checked on me. I will say that when I first entered I waited about 5 minutes before anyone spoke to me and even when I sat down it took another 5 minutes before a menu was given to me or anyone speaking to me. However, I contribute it to everyone being busy. Nevertheless, everyone was pleasant!Ambiance - it's a very cozy restaurant. I loved how simple but well decorated everything was. It was a warm environment. It's perfect for a cute date night or just a family dinner one Sunday evening. The live pianist absolutely contributed to the overall experience.

First time visitors but we will return! We went for dinner with friends from out of state and had an absolutely wonderful meal! The owner and staff are exceptional! Our waitress was right out of Italy and provided us with the best service anyone could ask for. From the decor to the live music everything was spot on. We will be recommending this quaint cafe to everyone! Ciao!

We always feel welcome and very well taken care of at Cafe Milano. We try to dine here monthly and everything is consistently delicious from appetizers to entrees to desserts. Their homemade tiramisu and cheesecake are must haves to complete our meal.

Good service, but very mediocre food. Not a good value. Their decor is long since outdated. Pass.
