  1. Pizza come to Moma, abosolutely divine!

  2. Milano’s in the IFSC is great for kids on the first Sunday of each month – facepainter there and lots of toys to play with.

  3. love everything, but the aubergine parmegiana is low carb and delicious!

  4. I’ve been to Milano a good few times but not so much recently. As I don’t leave right beside one anymore. My absolute favourite Milano dish is the dough balls though. I know they not technically a full dish as they only a starter but i LOVE dipping them in butter!

  5. I love the dough balls and stuffed peppers

  6. I love the diavallo pizza with a glass of wine (followed by a few pints of guinness in smyths)

  7. Next time, will try the dough balls.

  8. Eaten Milanos Cork.Love the Etna Pizza

  9. Always a great buzz in the Dawson St branch – great pizza’s and salads

  10. The Four Seasons pizza with a few glasses of wine is the business

  11. We always bring the kids to the IFSC branch as a special treat. The kids menu is good value.

  12. I love Milano’s on Baggot St. Nothing better than their Margarita Pizza with some garlic oil and a few glasses of red sitting out looking onto grand canal..it’s lush.

  13. First time I ate at Milano’s was in Belfast and I had a lovely pasta dish with courgettes.

  14. My favourite has to be ‘Padana’ dish, Goats cheese & I just love each other! Last location I dined with Milano was in Galway. It was a real treat, fine wonderful food, staff & buzz. I have also dined in Rathgar, Ranelagh & Dawson St, lots of enjoyable meals with friends & loved ones. Thank you Milano.

  15. Milanos is great, consistantly tasty food, great price, and very good service. Love their pizzas and garlic dough balls, very child friendly too.

  16. I love Milanos! I love the relaxed atmosphere and the mix of people it gets. The Pollo ad Astra is a winner every time!

  17. I love their salads…..especially the bosco salad…lovely avocado and the garlic bread sticks oh and the balsamic dressing….. plus recently had the sotto zero…great when you want something sweet and it won’t put too much calories on.

  18. Milano’s is a favourite for our work “do’s” It’s relaxed atmosphere really helps. And the food is great!

  24. Hi I have not eaten in Milanos in a while but have nice memories of eating there in the 90’s…. I worked in La Stampa on Dawson Street and around christmas time we would work Split shifts and during our split we would go into Milanos and have the most deicous pizzzas and salads-:)

  25. I lived 50 yards form Milano in Galway for 2 years and never got to eat there – too expensive for lil ol’ me.

  30. never been before but would like to try it out at milano

  31. yum yum pizza!!!

  32. Leggera pizza range-absolutely delicious! It’s so filling but you don’t over do it on the fat/calories as well as getting the best of both worlds- pizza AND salad. Definitely a win.

  33. Its a very long time since I’ve eaten in Milano, Clarion Quay I think was the branch I was in, would have had one of the pizzas, don’t normally go for a pasta dish and from what I remember, it was delicious. There is a branch in Cork that I would like to try.

  34. My favourite dish at Milanos is the Soho Pizza. I’ve eaten at the Dunlaoghaire branch a few times since it opened and each time I was very impressed with the food, service and very reasonable prices. I love the way they have the option of getting a coffee and a mini dessert at the end of your meal. I wish more restaurants would do this!

  35. Favourite Dish :

    Etna Pizza(Romano base)
    A little bit of volcano on a Pizza, won’t make you explode but the heat will certainly get you rumbling.

    For afters:
    Caffe Reale, this wonderful desert was gone for awhile, but it came back in recent months,(sense prevailed!) figs and mascarpone in a spicy syrup, comes with a coffee – superb.

  36. I have never been but it sounds great.

  37. Milano’s Lasagne, nothing beats some spicy Italian between the sheets.

  38. Their expertise in giving pleasure,makes dining there a sensual treasure

  39. Would like to eat here sometime.

  40. I would be really interested in trying this place out

  41. That is so funny I looked at this competition online this morning as I was thinking of making pizza tonight along with dough balls and was trying to figure out what “Milano” do to make their dough balls SOOOO gorgeous! So thats what I love most about Milano, their DELICOUS DOUGH BALLS.

  42. I’ve eaten recently in Milano’s, Galway.

    Apart from the lovely modern restaurant itself (which was buzzing), the food was lovely. Hubbie loves pizza and had the Diavola- said it was v. good.

    I had pollo pesto- piping hot, and tasty: just the thing for the miserable evening outdoors that it was.

    Didn’t get to have dessert, but next time.

    Love my food, so would love to win this prize, and take out hubbie and friends, and write an even better review of Milano’s afterwards!

  43. well from the comments Milano’s is the place to be
    for pizza, pasta ice cream coffee etc There is such a variety on their menu to suit all tastes. yum yum yum

  44. When i eat pizza it has to be Milano and da new leggera what a combination .Not to mention American / Etra . and when im thinking about the calories wow the pollo verdure salad will allow me to treat myself to the chocolate glory gosh its just divine!! When i just want a little treat its the small sticky dough .Not forgetting the Semi Freddo Reale i still close my eyes and allow my mind to drift . Speaking of drifting im tasting the nougat praline & marsala wine gosh looks like i will ring da girls for next w.end & catch up in Milano !!.

  45. Milanos is always good value. Lovely food. Love the Diavolo!

  46. American Hot is my favourite and has been since the day Milano opened! Its a pizza classic – it only takes a few good ingredients that work really well when put together.
    If it aint broke….

  47. The American Hot pizza…earns it name, the hot jalapinos and tangy pepperoni married with chilli oil equals the perfect pizza A side of Dough Balls and a glass of Pino Gritio…what more could a girl want 🙂

  48. American hot and a choc fudge sundae if I’m feelin naughty…..had it yesterday on dawson st – amazing!

  49. I must admit that I have not yet had the pleasure of dining in Milano. I must confess the food looks very tasty (I have passed the restaurant a number of times). Hopefully very soooon !!!!!!!!!!!

    Thanks Angela
