Wonderful dining experience, attentive service and excellent food. The chocolate mouse, vegetable soup, and gnocchi in particular were outstanding.

Our waitress was quite good BUT my dining partner ordered the Filet Mignon medium. It came rare. We sent it back asking that they just cook it a little more. 10 minutes later a new filet came out undercooked exactly as the first one. Sent it back again with the waitress assuring us it would only take a minute to cook the existing steak a little more. 10 minutes later another new steak came out undercooked exactly as the first 2. We gave up since my meal had now gone cold waiting for my partner's. Told them to just box it up and we'll have desert and leave. Clearly the chef did not understand complying with the customer's wishes. Desert was comped. Noise level unacceptable due to a table of 20ish millennials shrieking at each other all evening.

It was a slow night at the restaurant yet it took 40 mins for our entrees. I’m not sure if the server took a long time to drop it off (since she never mentioned or apologized for the delay) but our meals had dry pasta and was not warm. We had the frutti di mare and gnudi e fungi.

Milan did an outstanding job making us feel welcome for our anniversary dinner. The pistachio panna cotta dessert was excellent, the burrata with peaches, prosciutto and candied pecans was delicious as an appetizer and our entrees were well prepared and enjoyable as well. The service was friendly and attentive without being overbearing. The ambience inside is nice and makes you forget the restaurant is located inside a random strip mall. Would return again to try the other great looking items on the menu.
