Milano Trattoria Review

We were a party of 4 who enjoyed dinner at this restaurant. The server was prompt, taking our wine order and promptly returning for our diner order. The food was well presented, I had the porkchop special which was very well prepared. When we finished and were leaving the couple that owned the restaurant (a real mom and pop place) visited and provided a nice ending to the evening. The only negative thing I can say about the place is their chairs were not very comfortable.

Very disappointed, my cannoli shouldn't be rock hard and gritty on the inside. The food was out too fast. The calzone was not filled with anything and a little bit of cheese and spinach and that's it. Nothing else, no flavor or sauce.

I don't know why it took us so long to try this place but I was very impressed. We ordered the veggie pizza which was delicious and our daughter ordered the spaghetti with meat sauce and she loved it. We also tried the Italian Creme Cake and Chocolate Cake and as you can see by the pictures, they were very tasty. I really enjoyed the great service and small town feel. We will definitely be back.

Really not very good. I went with a 3 because the older reviews look promising and maybe we had new cooks in the kitchen or just an overall off day for food on our visit. I also know we're picky, so hometown restaurants get graded on a curve: There may be good dishes there, but we did not find them and won't be back to figure out what those dishes are. However, our one bad experience shouldn't deserve a 1- or 2- star review unless it's like abysmally bad. Here's what we had and what we thought.
Bruschetta: bread was oily, nowhere near enough basil with the tomato/mozzarella. Really just bland and boring.
Caesar: flat, metallic/processed dressing.
House salad: dressing was the one bright spot. Pretty sure it wasn't house-made, but still a decent flavor
Gorgonzola tortellini: don't know how gorgonzola can be bland, but it was. Tortellini was less overcooked than the ravioli, but still flavorless
Butternut squash ravioli in sage brown butter: this was absolutely awful. Like pasty, overcooked, bland pasta filled with pumpkin pie filling and topped with bland gravy. This was not a brown butter sage sauce - it had the consistency, appearance, and flavor of really bland turkey gravy. They said it tasted like a pumpkin spice latte, so I assumed that was more about the spice and not the sweetness. I was wrong. I love butternut squash ravioli everywhere I've ever eaten it. Love it. This was so, so bad. Like 'I can't believe I got two of those down' bad.

The food is decent overall, the pasta was somewhat overcooked (I believe pasta should be al dente) and the dishes were under seasoned. We also had a Greek salad, which was kind of sad and sparse for $9. The bread was yummy & ministrone soup was spot on. We had also ordered bruschetta, which the server thought we had never ordered. It wasn't a bad experience but definitely not an outstanding one. For their prices the food should be better.

I ordered the Margherita Pizza & a cannoli, absolutely delicious. The service was excellent. The atmosphere was wonderful. They do not offer Veteran or Military discount. But the food was well worth it.

Wonderful restaurant. Eaten there twice with my partner and got different dishes each time. So far 4 different dishes total, all were incredible. The chef is very nice and charming and came out to meet us the first time we were there. Cannot recommend enough

This is the best place within 50 miles. The owner, Johnny is an amazing host and cook. Salute!

Milano Tratorria is an outstanding restaurant. The menu is varied with daily specials that are prepared with care. Service is attentive. You will not be disappointed.
