We had a wonderful experience at Cafe’ Milano. We make it a must stop every time that we visit DC. It never disappoints. The food was exceptional and the manager was attentive to our needs as we asked to be moved away from the terrace. Thank you!

Lovely vibe & great Italian dishes!

Great service by wait staff. Food ordinary

The food was spectacular! The vibe is electric! We would go back again should the opportunity arise.

Noisy, see and be seen with very good Milanese food.

Fantastic food….everything flavored perfectly. Everything we had was delicious. Staff trying very hard but it’s a large restaurant so some of the items came out very slowly.
Overall, a fabulous meal!

We always have dinner at Cafe Milano whenever we are in DC however last evening may have been our last. The service was none existent. We understand that things are slow in the kitchen we were not in a rush however a waiter did not even ask if wanted a drink until we have been sitting at our table for almost 20 minutes, When that drink was gone and we were ready for a second we have to get up and ask someone to help us as our waiter was no where to be found. Very disappointing indeed. There are many new Italian restaurants in DC and I think it s time for us to find our new favorite. Too bad.

Thank you Umberto for a fantastic evening!

Very very nice evening can’t wait to go back !! Food was excellent and so was the staff !!!

I have always had a wonderful time going to
Cafe Milano. The atmosphere is lively, classic and popular! The food never a disappointments and the service exceptional for making you feel special!
One of my favorite spots to lunch and for me The ONLY PLACE in DC.

The table was not ready

Fantastic as usual!!

Delicious, tasty food. Competent, attentive service.

Extremely poor service and disappointing.

Hostess was very friendly and welcoming. The service, headed by our server, Mustafa and his team was excellent. I used to frequently visit the restaurant 20 years ago but I can see it hasn’t lost his charm, the food is solid & the service is top notch.

Great food, great ambiance… good to be back!

Great place to watch the crowd

It was overall an extremely disappointing experience. One of the servers spilled water into the a lobster dish that just was delivered to the table. Then two of the four pasta dishes that was delivered to the table were pretty much rare and undercooked. Would expect a lot more when you pay $41 a plate.

Slow on the follow up for dessert. Server gave us dessert menu at 7pm and ignored us until 7:30. I gave up on the dessert and asked for the check and tipped accordingly. Apparently the couple on the next table over were more important than my son and I so I tipped accordingly.

The service was ok, people was nice however we only got a round of water, bread was plain, put aside right after we arrived to the Cafe without anything else, no butter, now oliver, or Parmesan cheese, or else. I ordered a profiterole as a dessert, it was dry and a bit burnt. The risotto was ok, but a little plain, it did not have plenty of flavors or a good Taste as I thought it would be considering how expensive the restaurant is.

It was an ok experience. The place was packed which is not a bad thing but there wasn’t anything that was above average. The food was good not great and the service was the same. That being said, it seems to be a popular hangout spot where people in dc go to be seen.

Anniversary dinner

Wonderfully nice people speaking Italian very fast. Delicious and interesting food. I love this place.

Michelle was our server and she was amazing. Very attentive and had a good sense of humor! We ordered drinks at the bar before sitting down at our table and weren’t impressed. Would not order the dirty martini or Paloma again. We ordered a lot of food and loved everything except for the octopus appetizer and the broccoli rabe that came as a side. The ambiance outside was great so definitely recommend sitting outside. Great atmosphere for a business dinner.

The hostess was rude

Great table in the open area w a cover even w the rain! l the Mgr Laurent is amazing and always there w a smile !

Great food, service, and ambience (even outside on the sidewalk).

The Brunch menu was great and the drink selection was good.

Everything about Cafe Milano was great! The service and the food was absolutely amazing and so delicious!

Wonderful service, excellent food. Would have given 5 stars overall except for the fact that there were several plates brought to our table throughout the meal that were dirty.

We have enjoyed this restaurant previously and took friends from out of town for a special evening. Quite frankly we were disappointed this time. Our service was slow, the food quality was good as always but our order came out staggered. One of the desserts we ordered was so poor we did not even eat it and told our server but nothing was done.We have no problem paying this price point for a nice dinner however, this time we were disappointed and hope for better in the future.

It was wonderful!

Incredible service and great food. Nice outside seating ambience

Cafe Milano is a "must" for me in every visit to DC. The word "classy" best describes it.

Cafe Milano is a storied restaurant here in Georgetown and they certainly rely
heavily on that principle with exorbitant prices and variable quality of cuisine.
There is no doubt that it is a fun place to dine due to its supercharged ambiance
and great people watching. At these prices, however, you would expect more consistency in their quest for culinary excellence. There are times when there
offerings are extraordinary, or others where they seem to be 'phoning it in'.
The other night I had a beautiful piece of halibut as my main course, however
it was preceded by a forgettable $20 salad....basically a head of Boston lettuce
with candied walnuts underneath. It was not even tossed!
I'm sure my opinion will not matter to the regulars at Cafe Milano, but just so others
might have an idea.....

Price vs. quality/quantity simply isn't where it should be. Would not recommend.

Food and service were outstanding. It has a great atmosphere, and was the perfect location for my daughter's 18th birthday celebration. Excited to go back soon.

Lovely venue with excellent service and very good food, if a bit pricey for what is provided

Lovely experience overall. Worth a visit for great people watching and pretty good food.

Always good food. Environment has high noise level hard to hear our own conversations, including our own waiter.
