At a friend’s recommendation, I visited Cafe Milano twice.
The first time, I happened to be in the neighborhood and decided to stop by during the daytime, just before lunch. The restaurant was empty, so I simply walked in, looked around, and then left.
The second time, I returned for lunch in a weekend with a friend. It wasn’t busy that day—there were actually more waitstaff than customers. We were seated at a table in a high-traffic area, so throughout our meal we watched constant movement as staff walked back and forth. On top of that, the servers came by a bit too frequently, to the point that it disrupted the relaxed feeling of the meal. I didn’t enjoy the dining experience as much as I had hoped.
That said, the food was delicious, and the restaurant is beautifully decorated. It’s an elegant space. I just didn’t get to fully enjoy the overall atmosphere that day.
I’ve been told that Cafe Milano is a place where people go to see and be seen—and over the years it has attracted locals, politicians, and celebrities alike. We didn’t quite experience that energy during our visit. Perhaps going on a busy weeknight would offer more of that signature scene—if you’re hoping to spot a few well-known faces.
