Always a very warm welcome from the staff, and excellent service throughout the meal. A variety of menu choices plus specials and whatever you choose is a very generous sized portion and delicious. The tiramisu is to die for if you can find room! My husband and I always go to Milan restaurant before a show at the mayflower theatre and it never disappoints

Lovely welcome from the start, they found my booking and showed mum & I to our table, gave us time to look at drinks menu before ordering them ordered our food when the drinks came. Food arrived in good time and it was plentiful I couldn’t actually finish it all although did have room for ice cream. Will definitely eat here again when going to the Theatre. I do recommend booking as it does get busy.

Booked a table for 2 for a matinee pre-theatre performance. Staff were very friendly and attentive. I ordered from the Daily Special Menu and my friend from the Main Menu. Food was served in a timely manner and was delicious. It was also very good value and just what we wanted for a quick lunch prior to a theatre. We would certainly go again.

Our second visit after finding Milan on our last visit to Southampton. So convenient for Mayflower Theatre as well. We had the garlic pizza with extra cheese which was amazing!! I had the Tagliatelle Gardenaria (not sure that spelling is right) and it was so tasty. Hubby had the special pizza and wow it was a really great size with lots of topping. We shared cheesecake for dessert and had to go for a walk before the show!! We will definitely be making this little restaurant our “go to” for theatre trips. The staff are so friendly and everything is great.

Bit of a chance booking as just wanted somewhere close to The Mayflower. However, very impressed with the food. Starter portion size could be a little more generous but were tasty. Mains were a good size & impeccable. Definitely book on an event night. Thanks for a lovely meal.

Lovely staff & food. Would have preferred a little longer to make up our minds. I think we were asked three times within ten minutes of sitting down. I do appreciate however, that they were extremely busy. Other than that, was excellent, & now our ‘go to’ place before going to the Mayflower!

Little disappointing really. Nice food tho a little pricey. Staff not the best FOH people sadly and the ambience is low. Background music was not for the guests it was staff music IMHO. I'd go back for the food and if the general ambience (staff & location) was better we'd make it our new goto place before Mayflower shows.

We love coming to you after the theatre, but this time the service was not so good. We didn't get our garlic bread, the restaurant was very busy, but people coming in after us were getting there orders sooner. The staff did apologise, and we will use you again, but it was disappointing

Really liked the place and the staff were very nice and friendly but we were a bit stressed because we were under tight timing issue with a performance by ourselves at the Mayflower theatre. The restaurant was full of people in the same situation so we all arrived at roughly the same time. Under the circumstances the restaurant did well although we were left for quite a while and people who came in after us had their orders taken first. I would definitely go back though.

Tue guy that seated us and the first waitress that took our drink order and brought our food out were lovely. But the girl that took our food order snatched the menu out of my hand when I was pointing to something I didn't know how to pronounce and just about forced a fake smile. My partners food was lovely, the lasagne was mediocre, great fries. Restaurant part was nice and clean, but the bathroom could have been cleaner. Think it was good value and would eat there again, just a couple of small gripes
