Milano Restaurant — Restaurant in Gracefield

I stopped here with my son on our way back from a fishing trip. The place looked busy, and that to me is a good sign. We were greeted by a waitress with a warm smile who spoke English very well. She was very pleasant and quickly took our order and delivered our drinks. We ordered a pizza with green olives and bacon. When it finally came, my son and I looked at each other in disappointment. The bacon was not pre-cooked before it went on the pizza, so it was half-raw. The bottom of the crust and the cheese did not like each other, and couldn't remain attached. The cheese (which was cheap mozzarella) was disgusting and very oily. The bottom crust was as thin as a wafer but was hard to cut though. We had to remove our bacon and couldn't finish the pizza. Seriously, I should have sent it back when it arrived. The waitress seemed embarrassed at the food, and did not charge us for any of the ingredients. When I went to pay, and to assure her that this terrible experience was not her fault, I pulled out my debit card to pay with Interac. She said sorry, it is a cash-only restaurant - no debit or credit cards. I had to make sure that it was 2018, and that we weren't put into a time warp that took us back to the 1970s. Actually, they used credit cards in the 1970s. There was an ATM right beside the cash register that was ready to reward the restaurant a nice service fee because they don't take plastic for the...uh...meal. And when I asked the waitress if I missed a sign on the door, or a note in the menu, that this is a cash-only place she indicated that it is not posted anywhere. If I could rate this no stars, I would. The decor and furniture is also 1970s, and the bathroom is a one person at a time deal with no urinal in the boys' room. This restaurant will remain as much a legend to us as the fishing trip itself. I'm sure that we will...

I went to this restaurant for dinner and it was bad. I was served an extremely salty chicken salty noodle soup that I passed on because it was not edible! First off we ordered our dinner and it didn’t come all at once 2 of us were served and 2 others weren’t! Finally my dinner was served the Greek souvlaki special but my daughter’s poutine was served last! Poutine took forever to be served! It should of been the first! As I was prepared to dig in my souvlaki plate I noticed a hair stuck to my rice. That was it for me! Couldn’t eat anything else as I was disgusted. The spaghetti sauce was quite sweet and had too much nutmeg in it. The poutine was made with frozen fries and cheap shredded cheese, bland sauce. They charge so much for less quality and quantity. It’s more of a convenience than really care of their customers. One of us ordered a submarine sandwich and the server ask him about his side order. She mentioned fries or poutine? He asked if the poutine was extra $$. She said yes. So he took the poutine. It took forever for both cheap poutines to come out. It turns out on our bill, the server overcharged us for the side poutines. She didn’t charge me for the hairy souvlaki but charged us on a side poutine for full price poutine. I also noticed two ladies coming out of the kitchen wearing no hair nets. Plus one came out to go into the bar area to grab a beer and go back into the kitchen. Drinking while working great idea! Go somewhere else instead of this place! Save your money and hunger for better...

Milano’s isn’t just a restaurant—it’s an experience. A delicious, delightful, and slightly overwhelming experience… in the best way possible.

From the second we walked in, the staff made us feel right at home. Friendly, attentive, and genuinely happy to be there (unlike me during tax season).

I ordered the Assiette Combinée with pork, chicken, and shrimp souvlakis—because moderation is for Mondays. Feeling adventurous (and slightly overconfident), I added butterfly shrimp. Big mistake. Or maybe the best mistake? The plate that arrived looked like a catering tray for a small wedding. I stared at it. It stared back. We had a moment.

Jasmine went for the Filet Poulet César and declared it the perfect balance of grilled perfection and crispy freshness. Meanwhile, Ethan had the kids’ spaghetti… which, in any other restaurant, would’ve passed as a full adult portion. He was in carb heaven.

The food? Absolutely top-notch. Flavourful, perfectly cooked, and clearly made with care. The portions? Outrageous in the best possible way. I’ve seen smaller carry-on luggage than what they serve as a single meal.

In short: go to Milano’s hungry, leave in a food coma, and bring a duffel bag for your leftovers. 10/10 would do it all again (but maybe skip the shrimp next...
