What People Are Saying About Papa Milano Restaurant

In Short – Whether longtime regulars or newcomers, diners feel comfortable and welcomed at this Gold Coast spot. The tiny dining room fills up fast, and in warm weather, the outdoor patio along posh Oak Street is filled. The menu offers Italian dishes, including an entire section devoted to spaghetti. It also includes salads, cannoli and ricotta-stuffed crepes filled tableside.

CLOSED

This was the BEST Italian Food in the city but it is closed, gone. I was told some store has bought the space. What a shame!!!

The real thing

by chowfunner

Forget the trendy trattorias, this old-time Chicago establishment has hearty Italian-American food that is well -prepared, ample and fair-priced.

not too impressing

by turbo5150

I chose this restaurant based upon other revivers and was not overly impressed. My friends and I like to go out and try new restaurants and this was not our favorite. We were seated quickly and we placed our orders but the service was not too quick. Also, our waiters were not overly polite. They were not rude but seemed annoyed, kind of like your grumpy uncle. The food was ok. I had chicken parmigiana and it was quite tasty but my friends lamb was quite salty and my others friends lasagna would be better with some spinach (it was mostly ricotta and marinara sauce). Not tragic but had better Italian for the same price. Their tiramisu was very good, but when we wanted to order some more our waiter informed us that he closed our check. It was surprising as we were still eating and when we insisted on getting the desert he was annoyed that he would need to start a new bill. However, the experience would not be so bad until we received our check and were charged $20 service charge. It was only four of us eating and gratuity is usually added for party of 6 or 7. So that was really surprising and put a huge dent on our experience.

  • Pros: good tiramisu
  • Cons: service, food
