“ This is my favorite restaurant. I love their salads and the staff is always super friendly. I have had the Raspberry Blue Whitefish for lunch and it is excellent. They also have a great BBQ Chicken Pizza. ”
“ We did a pre-Christmas lunch on Saturday and it was wonderful! I had Lasagne Milano which was a little different in appearance with lots of sauce and cheese. It was delicious, and the salad accompanying it was excellent. My partner had Chicken Milano and it was excellent as well! She cleaned the plate. There was fresh warm bread with an Olive oil, garlic and shredded Parmesan cheese dipping sauce - outstanding! Our server was excellent and provided outstanding service without being intrusive. The atmosphere was warm and welcoming, and we were seated right away with our reservation. This was my second experience at the Edwardsville location and I'm certainly coming back again! Well done! ”
“ Food is great, service is great, prices are great. 4 stars instead of 5 because the menu is fairly standard Italian, but done very well ”
“ The food was good. Our waiter, Terry was good also! One of the appetizers...we were not a fan and didn't touch it so he handled it regarding our bill. I would definitely recommend calling to make a reservation since the establishment was busy. My daughter highly enjoyed the toasted raviolis :) ”
“ The service was ready really good. Food was delicious as well. The atmosphere was nice and the restaurant was clean. ”
“ The food is always fantastic here. Their steaks are amazing and the drinks are phenomenal. Our favorite server is Bella! She is simply one of the best! Love coming here! ”
“ Impressive. I will go out on a limb and say, Bella Milano is equal if not better to the Italian restaurants on, The Hill in St. Louis. Yes, it was that good. They nailed it on the food, service and ambiance. I was totally impressed. I was dining alone, so I didn't mind being seated in the bar area at a high top table. My evening started with a Tito's Dirty Martini. I like it when they bring you the shaker with more booze in it. It always makes me feel like I am getting more bang for my cocktail money. While reading the menu, I was pleased to see they offered a half order of their Toasted Ravioli. Being a single diner, a full order would be a meal and I wanted to enjoy a pasta entree as well. They were delicious and I'd say they are my favorite toasted ravioli, now. After my ravioli, I ordered a small Milanos Salad. I was curious to see one of their topping, Crispy Prosciutto Ham. Wow, what a unique item to mix in with a special cheese blend, green onion and topped with a house made dressing. The bartender, who was also my server asked if I wanted bread with my salad. Normally, I would have said no, but being in an Italian restaurant and knowing it came with a small plate of oil for dipping, I could not resist. It took a lot of self control, because I did want to eat the entire basket. For my entree, I selected, Creamy Garlic Angel Hair with Shrimp. It was delicious, but I couldn't finish it and had to take a portion home for the next days lunch. The angel hair was tossed in a rosemary cream sauce with baby shrimp, spinach and shallots and topped with three jumbo sautéed shrimp. The only downside of my meal, was the fact that I was too full to enjoy a dessert. My favorite dessert is Creme Brûlée and I wanted it so bad. I saw several orders being delivered to tables near by and that made me want it even more. Oh, well. At least that gives me a reason to come back and pace myself. ”
