" I generally have wonderful experiences at Milano Cafe, but I think they may have slipped a bit on consistency. My recent order of pasta was overcooked and wasn't as robustly seasoned as in past visits. Granted, the service was still friendly and the atmosphere lovely, but it left a bit of room for improvement. I’d love to see them bounce back to the high standards I know they can meet. " (*Curated Review*)

" Every visit to Milano Cafe feels like stepping into an Italian home. The owner is often around, sharing stories and making guests feel at ease. On this occasion, we ordered the garlic bread to start, which was warm, cheesy, and perfect for sharing. For my main, the spaghetti with homemade marinara is always a favorite; the flavors are simple yet so satisfying. The chocolate dessert we shared concluded our meal on a high note. I'm looking forward to my next visit as they always keep the menu exciting with seasonal offerings! " (*Curated Review*)

" My family and I have been regulars at Milano Cafe for over a year now, and we can confidently say it’s our favorite spot for Italian food! Each meal fulfills craving for authentic Italian; the pizza is particularly worth mentioning, loaded with fresh toppings. Service is typically very personal, and I admire how the owner remembers faces! Just an all-around wonderful dining experience! " (*Curated Review*)

" Came back to Milano Cafe after a while and I'm glad I did! I tried their new seasonal out-of-the-ordinary dish, and it was a breath of fresh air. The flavors were fantastic and so inventive. I love places that experiment with flavors while still respecting tradition. The desserts were also incredibly tempting; I highly recommend their walnut cake! Can't wait for my next culinary adventure here! " (*Curated Review*)

" I had been wanting to try Milano Cafe for years, and I'm so glad I did! They offer a delightful array of classic Italian dishes, and I couldn't resist the temptation of the lasagna. It was moist, flavorful, and filled to the brim with cheese. Service was prompt and friendly, making my dining experience feel special. I also suggest trying the homemade desserts—they are absolutely divine! I’m returning in a week for my birthday dinner; can’t wait! " (*Curated Review*)

" Previous visits to Milano Cafe were wonderful, but my latest experience fell short of expectations. While I appreciate the cozy atmosphere, I found the service to be rather slow this time. The food, however, remained delicious; it was just disappointing to wait too long to receive it. If you're prepared for a leisurely dinner, I still recommend trying their spaghetti—it's worth the wait, just showing up with some patience! " (*Curated Review*)

" If you haven't been to Milano Cafe, you're missing out! The ambiance is cozy but vibrant with local art. I loved the butternut squash ravioli—a unique twist that’s perfectly flavored and satisfying. The staff makes it feel like you’re dining with friends. It feels like a genuine Italian experience every time—I highly recommend everyone try the cannoli for dessert. So delightful and perfectly sweet! I’m excited to try more dishes next time!
