Milano Italian - South Gloucestershire

My husband and I dined at this restaurant on February 15th. We enjoyed a bottle of wine, 2 appetizers, and 2 main dishes. All of the food was delicious and made fresh. The waiter was very friendly and welcoming, and we found the decor to be tasteful and refreshing. We will definitely be coming back.

The Milano is a fairly new restaurant in Yate, it’s decor is new, pleasing and very well set up. When I first entered I had a smiling gentleman welcome me, and discussed my preferences for sitting. I already sensed the nice friendly atmosphere of the place.

Very obviously a brand new restaurant, the waitress was friendly and enthusiastic and friendly, but clearly not very experienced. The service was slow, but the food was very nice when it did come. We thought the interior could still do with tweaking: the walls are largely bare and the lighting a bit too dim to read the menu comfortably. There was no lock on the men's toilets and the ladies could do with sprucing up and a hook on the back of the door for handbags. A promising local eatery for a nice evening meal, but may prove to be a bit pricey for the location.

My husband, a friend, and I decided to try this restaurant for dinner based on a recommendation from another friend. We had a voucher for a free bottle of wine, so we thought we would give it a try. The service was fast, friendly, and efficient, with a lovely waitress serving us. We had starters, mains, and dessert, and all three of us thoroughly enjoyed each course. The tiramisu we had for dessert was exceptional and nothing like the store-bought versions. It was completely different and delicious. One thing we noticed, having been to other Italian restaurants, was that having salad with the main course may not be the best option - we would have preferred vegetables or at least a choice. However, every restaurant is different and that is just our opinion. Overall, it was a pleasant visit and we have already booked to return. It is a new business and we hope they succeed. I would recommend giving them a try!

I visited this restaurant on Wednesday, 20th March. It was a busy evening with a party of about 20 people and a few other diners. We received a very friendly welcome upon arrival and the service was attentive and efficient throughout the evening, despite the busyness. We started with delicious tasting olives and an excellent tomato and pesto bread. The main courses we ordered, Risotto with seafood and chicken in a white wine, mushroom and cream sauce, were exceptional. The Risotto had plenty of seafood and the chicken, served with Tuscan potatoes and a mixed salad, was great (though a bit pricey at nearly 16 pounds). I would definitely recommend this restaurant and hope to return to support this fantastic local independent business.
