Decided to try this place last night for dinner. It wasn't crowded at all, the waiter was very nice. The atmosphere was a little strange. It looks like it hasn't been updated in decades and was decorated in the typical Italian-American sort of way.
The salad and rolls were free with our meals which I will say were pretty tasty. The salad dressing was a pretty usual Italian style oil/vinegar situation; not sure if they make it themselves but I quite enjoyed it. The garlic rolls were tasty and fresh. We also got toasted ravioli which was also good, maybe a little oily. I got chicken parm for an entree and I was somewhat disappointed. The chicken texture was weird and it was dry. There was also a lot of grease that had leached out from the cheese on my plate. The sauce was unremarkable. Had better, had worse.
They do also make pizza which I'm curious to try. But as of now, I don't think I would recommend this place. Theres simply better options for Italian food in town.Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0 - B P.Newburgh, IN09581Jun 16, 2017
Decent overall, watch as downtown traffic picks up.
Good hostess. Table linens not completely clean (buy glass to go over linen?). Mellow Frank Sinatra era music. Quiet restaurant ideal for conversation. Food is okay- good variety but I did not see much of healthier choice but did not ask. Garlic bread and salad average. Bathroom clean but men's door hard to close. Carpet ancient but reasonably clean. Atmosphere good, house Pinot good.
Honesty there are better choices downtown but this is an option for a quiet relaxed meal in casual setting. A little attention to aesthetic detail and a revamped menu and this place will move up a notch.
Prices reasonable - about $14 for entree which includes family-style salad and rolls.Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0 - Sharon C.Nashville, TN1242Apr 4, 2020
We are trying to visit local restaurants and chose Milanos and we are so glad that we did! When we called he said it would be an hour, I was surprised but said okay. He called right back and said it would only be 30 minutes since it was a smaller order. I was so happy, but not as happy as when we got home and tasted the food! I got the chicken parmigiana and my husband got the lasagna. We were both very happy. We each got a good size salad with our meal and it was very reasonably priced. We will be back!

The bread is clearly frozen and drenched in olive oil. Super tough. The salad is poorly presented and drenched in olive oil. Ravioli is also clearly frozen and then over recooked. Penne with marinara sauce was Ragu something I can cook at home. I do not recommend.

Hands down, the BEST food and friendliest service in Evansville.
Excellent place to go for lunch, the service is quick and an outstanding selection of pizza, stromboli, calzone and pasta varieties are hot, fresh and ready. Fresh ingredients are on the little salad bar that you can make to go.
Lunch combos are a really great value, you get pizza slices, calzone, stromboli or pasta plus a salad, delicious hot roll and drink for less than $7.
Today I had an excellent cheese calzone and I plan to return soon for pasta and pizza.
I was directed to Milano's by local Evansville firefighters who highly recommended it as the best place for lunch. And you know firefighters know good food!
I am only in Evansville on business for a few weeks but if I lived here I would be a lunch regular at Milano's. I really appreciated the friendly, enthusiastic servers. A stop here will brighten up even this cold and snowy day.Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0 - Jen F.Jasper, IN262Jun 28, 2018
Just love this restaurant! Delicious food, very reasonable prices, personable owner who makes you feel like you're his long lost friend, and the best ever garlic knot rolls with pesto sauce!

This is my favorite lunch spot downtown Evansville. Great staff - the owner is very personable and conversational. Great food! My favorite is the rigatoni carbonara. I found it much better than another downtown Italian eatery. Plus, you can fix your own salad. I have always been very happy eating here and would highly recommend it.

We had a Groupon for this place. Having Never been before, we were excited to give it a try. We were not let down. The chicken Parmesan was flavorful and delicious as was the cheese tortellini. The salad and bread on the side was hot and fresh. We will totally go back.

This restraint gives every impression of being on it's last legs. It was nearly empty when we went on a Wednesday evening at 5:30. The carpets have stains. The ceiling has stains. It's dark and run down.
The server was fine but nothing better. The rolls were swimming in oil. The lasagna was also swimming in oil. The salad is 10 times better at that Italian chain and was swimming in dressing.
The sauce was tasty. The prices were reasonable. That's all I have for pros.Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0 - Mark T.Reeds Spring, MO05Oct 14, 2017
Great stuffed mushroom appetizer. Pizza was great. Awesome prices too.
Would definitely do something with the signage outside. Looks really simple and people will walk on by.Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0
