Milano Cafe

Was in Austin for business and met up my boy @etiisdope for lunch. This spot is located by his job and if you know Etinosa you know he is very picky. I was intrigued by him saying this spot off rip. We walk up and the owner? is ripping a heater out front reading the paper ✅. We walk in and it’s basically just us, we get our drink order taken by a lady. After we get our drinks the man walks in and talks to the woman. She then grabs her stuff, leaves, and I don’t see her again lol. The owner? I guess then takes care of us the rest of the meal. Really peculiar lol. Chicken Parm 8/10 - flavor was packing never lacking. It wasn’t super insanely hot like it sometimes happens with chicken parm. Really thin chicken piece so sometimes I was just eating the breading that’s somehow Gluten Free. Gotta love Austin lol This is as hole in the wall as it gets but it’s also like built to be a date spot? It’s fine dining where you can hop out and go to Talbots lol. Follow me on IG Eats_By_Puig

Solid 4 star experience across the board. To improve I recommend increasing gluten free offerings(they currently only offer Penne for their pasta dishes and gluten free crusts for their pizzas), having the music slightly louder because no one wants to hear everything the table across the room whispers, and some other atmosphere improvement that I can’t quite nail down. Overall a strong choice for a locally owned business!

This place was alright. The service is friendly but slow. The food is tasty, but not the best you could find. Though it is fair for the prices. I liked the art on the walls. We did have a problem with gluten despite getting gluten free options. Obviously there was contamination, so if you were hoping to sample some gluten free options, just know you might have the same.
