★★★★★ 5.0 Darrell Miller · Mar 2026

I’m a fan of the Frank Guagenti Milano Cafe. He’s a sweetheart of a man and treats every guest as if they’re family. The family recipes have been used for generations of happy meal-times for their own family and they invite you in to be a part of it as you dine here. The staff they retain has always been top notch. Good people. The quality never changes and it’s always excellent. Try the simple homemade meatball in secret family recipe red sauce or the fettuccine Alfredo that’s so buttery and creamy it just makes you happy. Highly recommend this wonderful family restaurant.

Our server Beth was absolutely amazing. She was very friendly and attentive. At one point we witnessed another server say "I don't want that table" and Beth assisted without hesitation. Everything for us eas absolutely perfect. Our Valentine's celebration was outstanding, the food was out of this world as always! Definitely 1 of our favorite place to travel to. Thank you for always being consistent and delicious.

Amazing food every time we go, my wife really enjoys their homemade potato soup and I've never had a better steak in Lima. Great appetizers and drink menu, I think it might be the only place in Lima to find my favorite beer Kentucky bourbon barrel ale! Bonus points for carrying it.

I love this place. Best food and great owner. However, we just had the poorest service there last night. Server was so messed up, when I first ordered my salad, I asked for extra dressing, didn't get it tell we left. She was not on time with anything. There were four of us. That's about a $200.00 bill. Guess she thinks tip are not earned. We will be back but she won't be our server.

Milano’s Café is our go-to for family gatherings, and they never disappoint. We’ve hosted multiple events there, and every time the food is incredible and the atmosphere is warm and welcoming.The family-style Italian is the best way to celebrate — platters of meatballs, Italian chicken, fresh salads, pasta… all generous, all delicious. Everything tastes homemade and comes out hot and perfectly timed. No one ever leaves hungry.Beyond the food, the staff treats you like family. They make hosting effortless, which lets you actually enjoy your guests instead of worrying about details.If you’re planning a luncheon, celebration, or just want great Italian comfort food, Milano’s is a gem. We absolutely love it.
