Cafe Milano Washington Reviews from The Last Year
I came in today and I ordered the Calamarat Kiton.
When I first came in the front employees were very welcoming yet when I sat down it took about 7 minutes for someone to come up and asked if I had a server come up to me yet. "Keep in mind they were not that busy just a Monday" they offered bread which tasted absolutely horrendous and looked burnt. The Diet Coke was good. Overall the service was good attentive and detailed but the food on the other hand was not impressive or even that good it was just okay. The taste of it just didn't feel fresh as if it was frozen and microwaved or under a heat lamp for a while. I chose this for the name of the restaurant thinking it would be good Italian food but I was horrendously disappointed. People seemed to enjoy the place around me but more for the atmosphere and environment. This place is nice if you wanna have a drink and talk with friends/co workers but not for the food. To be fair I've ate at Filomena ristorante a few streets down and other amazing Italian restaurants such as in Boston "Giacomo's Ristorante" and in New York City "La Mela Ristorante" so perhaps it is my high level of comparison as to why I am writing this but in addition this place has been mentioned many times as one of the best restaurants in DC yet when I compare it on a level of food quality it is simply non existent. The service was good though. "I rarely write a yelp review but due to the high praise this restaurant received while being disappointed by it I felt this was needed"
Refined place to visit.
Food and customer care is very nice. Patio area an or inside in nice even in summer time.!!! Enjoy!
Always love this place.
Great food, atmosphere and service! Love that it's authentic and makes me feel like I'm back in Italy.
When I say the worst staff in the city, I genuinely mean
When I say the worst staff in the city, I genuinely mean it, even worse than Il Canale. The food is mediocre and a restaurant of these prices shouldn't have off days. The ladies who "greet" you in the front are even more rude than the service
Very professional.
Had the arugula salad with shaved Parmesan, followed by the short ribs, and tiramisu's. All were good. Authentic vibes.
Not great.
Just ok. Pasta dish was bland. Deconstructed salad was odd. Atmosphere was buzzing, but too loud. Not sure why the hype.
Surprisingly, this restaurant which used to be excellent
Surprisingly, this restaurant which used to be excellent served a mediocre lunch yesterday. I ordered the "PAPPARDELLE PRADA $30.00 HOUSE-MADE TRUFFLE PAPPARDELLE, WHITE VEAL RAGÙ, PARMIGIANO " It was completely tasteless with insignificant veal Ragu, barely even noticeable. I had to have them add grated Parmesan for there to be any taste at all. My lunch mate ordered a steak medium well. It came out more than well done and should never have left the kitchen, it was inedible and had to be sent back. What was originally on the plate was an embarrassment, the replacement steak was fine. It is unfortunate that this restaurant is no longer as good as it was. I will give it another chance and wells see.
For the food First off the risotto Gucci was amazing! We
For the food First off the risotto Gucci was amazing! We also had the carpaccio and it was good but not the best I've ever had. They also served us some bread with bruchetta and it was tasty and hard not to fill up on. Staff was very attentive and nice. Now for the vibe. This is a quintessential DC spot according to my aunt and you could tell. We had originally booked for the main dining and due to a vip guest they had to seat us in the back room. Which was kind of lame. However they did make up for it by offering to move us when a table opened which we took and that was nice. Over all the risotto was the star but nothing else to write home about especially considering the price.
The atmosphere was loud and fast paced.
A great spot to people watch. There were a ton of big group parties, even on a Thursday night. The food was delicious and the staff were on POINT making sure our table had everything we wanted!
Wasn't able to ORDER food after waiting for 45 minutes.
Those seated AFTER us were done eating by the time we were able to tell the waiter we were leaving. Very disappointing :(
Please do not go to this trashy place.
They are very racist. The hostess kept talking in Italian language.
Must be there again again and again
Wow! Being Italian I generally skip Italian restaurants abroad but not this time following the advice of my wife living here in Washington. It has been a wonderful experience. Food like at home. Service at top level. Patrick took care of us in a very professional way. Pizza - we had a focaccia - perfectly made. Prosciutto sweet and tender. Tomatoes tasting as Italian organic summer time tomatoes. Priceless. If you want to experience a spot of Italian taste and tip level service you cannot miss this place. It will be my place any time I will back to DC. ❤️
Cafe Milano: The place to go in DC for a secret meeting.
Cafe Milano is an outstanding place to go in DC if you want to have a secret meeting to create secret plans. Spies from all over the world are doing secret meeting there every day.
I've been wanting to try this DC institution for years, and
I've been wanting to try this DC institution for years, and while it may be slightly overhyped, it was still a nice date night experience (and incredible people watching!). I had a special - Dover sole fillets with fresh fava beans, white asparagus, leek and lemon sauce, and potato napoleon. The fish was perfectly cooked, and all the flavors blended together nicely. The waiter was friendly and attentive, and was knowledgeable about my gluten allergy. Was it overpriced? Yes. But is it an experience to have at least once in DC? Also yes.
During my recent visit to Cafe Milano in Washington, DC, I
During my recent visit to Cafe Milano in Washington, DC, I had the pleasure of indulging in an extraordinary dining experience that left an indelible mark on my memory. From the moment I stepped into the restaurant, I was greeted with the warmest hospitality, setting the stage for what was to be a culinary journey of the highest order. The highlight of my meal was undoubtedly the whole Bronzino, a masterpiece of the sea, presented with impeccable finesse. The fish was expertly cleaned and filleted right at the table, a testament to the skilled chefs and their dedication to providing a show as delightful as the dishes they serve. The freshness of the fish, coupled with its delicate flavors, was a revelation, making each bite a moment to savor. But the journey didn't stop there. The handmade Tortellini was, simply put, a revelation. Crafted with precision and care, each tortellini was a bundle of joy that, upon tasting, compelled my eyes to shut automatically, allowing me to fully immerse myself in the intense, flavorful experience. It's rare to find food that can evoke such a visceral, emotional reaction, but Cafe Milano achieved this with ease, showcasing their unparalleled ability to create dishes that not only please the palate but also touch the soul. In every aspect, Cafe Milano stands out as a beacon of culinary excellence. From the attentive service to the exquisite atmosphere and beyond, it's a place where food is not just eaten but celebrated. For anyone looking to treat themselves to an unforgettable dining experience, I wholeheartedly recommend Cafe Milano. It's not just a meal; it's an adventure that delights and surprises at every turn.
Iconic DC restaurant that was given the title of "the
Iconic DC restaurant that was given the title of "the ultimate place to see and be seen" from Washington Post (there are many famous people who frequent it). The vibe here is slightly upscale, but it does not feel too stuffy. This being said, the menu is a little on the expensive side (the most glaring being the $25 cocktails). The service here is amazing. They have a doorman, a coat-check (where they literally take off and put on your jacket for you), and staff that consistently check in on you. When I came here with my GF for valentines day they also gave her a rose when we left. The menu is pretty straightforward Italian, but the quality of the food is top-tier. They also have delicious cocktails as well. The space is a little tight, and it therefore gets a little loud inside. My GF also had a bunch of people bump into her throughout the night (including an elbow to the head from a waiter) due to the tight quarters.
Came here for a belated bday celebration for my MIL prior
Came here for a belated bday celebration for my MIL prior to heading to the Kennedy center for a show. The restaurant is decorated like a classic Italian restaurant. We were seated and asked for sparking or still water, but I'm basic and fine with tap water. Service otherwise was average. There were large gaps by our waiter, possibly because he was taking smoking breaks. We ordered the special appetizer- grilled calamari. It was bland, and mostly had a charred flavor and rubbery texture. For mains we ordered the sea bass, pappardelle and short rib initially. My MIL loved the flakiness of the sea bass and the pappardelle was flavorful. The short rib left a lot to be desired -the potatoes tasted like they came from a box and the meat itself was dry. It seemed like they tried to compensate with putting a lot of sauce over it. A manager noticed (as our waiter was MIA) that I did not really eat it and asked if everything was fine and offered to get me something else. I then had the ravioli and it was amazing. The veal and spinach stuffing were an amazing pairing and the reduction sauce was delicious. Lastly they brought out a birthday cake for the MIL and she enjoyed it. Overall we had a lovely celebration for her, but the service was off and the erroneous billing for bottle water, when perfect tap water was available was annoying. The wine selection and NA drinks were also fine. I would likely order the ravioli to go, but probably not dine-in again.
Restaurant Week Review ($35 per person) First, thank you
Restaurant Week Review ($35 per person) First, thank you to the entire staff for making my first-time visit, memorable. From the door to the table, I appreciated them taking the time to get to know me and for making me feel accommodated. Antipasti Selection: Me: Vellutata Di Cavolfiori (Cauliflower Soup) My boyfriend: Moscardini Al Pomodoro (Stewed Octopus) My review: I thoroughly enjoyed the soup, it was simply delicious. Well seasoned, perfect for the weather, and good to the last drop. My boyfriend didn't enjoy his stewed octopus and after a few bites, neither did I. The tomato stew didn't do much for the octopus and it threw the flavor off. Entree: Me: Costine Di Manzo Braste (Braised Angus Beef) My boyfriend: Orata Del Mediterraneo (Mediterranean Dorade Filet) My review: ABSOLUTELY DELICIOUS!!!!! The beef was so tender and the mashed potatoes and carrots were divine! All of the flavors complimented each other well and I was thoroughly pleased from start to finish. My boyfriend: let's just say that he raved about this dish the entire day and after a few bites, I knew why. The fish was crispy on the outside and buttery soft on the inside. Paired with a delicious lemon sauce, you couldn't help but savor the moment with each bite. Both dishes were EXTRAORDINARY!!!! Dolci: My dessert: Torta Di Carote (carrot almond cake) My boyfriend: Panna Cotta Al Frutti Di Bosco (Berry and Vanilla Panna Cotta) I didn't enjoy my dessert because it was dry and my boyfriend didn't enjoy his dessert because it felt complicated to eat. Sadly, after an amazing entree and my scrumptious starter, we hoped to have ended the meal with a delicious dessert but this wasn't the case. Overall, I can see myself visiting this restaurant outside of Restaurant Week because not only is it beautiful but, so was the service offered by the staff! The food had a few misses but the entrees set everything right! Those meals were everything that I dream of and it made me a true believer of Cafe Milano. Bravo! Bravo! For a job well done.
First, I must say, call well in advance for a reservation
First, I must say, call well in advance for a reservation if you are from out of town. I say this because this establishment is a local favorite that is frequented by the DC crowd and has regulars. However, it is well worth the wait! It is a very quant restaurant in a very beautiful, very historic area of DC. Parking can be tricky, so I highly advise utilization of their fantastic valets or use a ride share service. The restaurant staff is very friendly and accommodating, and their attention to detail is top notch. They have beautiful bar, and the layout of the restaurant is close and intimate, but not overbearing; there is outside seating available as well. My date and I were very impressed with the menu. Even though it leans towards Mediterranean fare, you will find that there is something on the menu for everyone. We very much enjoyed the octopus and caviar. Fish and steak were excellent. Great cocktail and wine selections too. If you are in the area on business or casually strolling through the area, it is definitely a great establishment to try!
I took my mother and I for lunch during restaurant week,
I took my mother and I for lunch during restaurant week, and we had a pleasant time. The cauliflower soup was tasty, and I very much enjoyed the short rib. The panna cotta wasn't up to my standard texture wise but still tasted great. The service wasn't bad, but the server felt a little awkward. Also there was a group of middle aged men just staring at us the whole time across the room and that made me feel uncomfortable, but that's not the restaurants fault.
Ridiculously overpriced.
The food is bland. A lot of staff, but no waiter helping you personally, it's just whomever happens to be passing by your table. The wine is very expensive but, if you order a glass, they don't bring the bottle to you, so there's no way of knowing what they brought you. The music is deafening. The bathrooms are horribly filthy.
You have not experienced fine dining until you have eaten
You have not experienced fine dining until you have eaten at Cafe Milano. From the moment you walk in, you know are in for a treat. We were escorted to our table in the back and it was the cutest nook in the whole place. They had it decorated so nicely and the digital fireplace was such a nice treat. Gary was our server and when I tell you this man spoiled us! We got the full experience, he brought us our appetizers and nicely replated them on our personal plates. He even showed us an elegant way to use a fork and spoon to pick up food! We got the beet salad and eggplant Parmesan for appetizers 10/10 the beets had such an amazing flavor,not too earthy or vinegary. I got the vegetable lasagna. Not the vegetables I would have chosen for a vegetable lasagna. It was mainly peppers and onions. I would have liked if it had more heart vegetables like zucchini, carrots even chopped broccoli or cauliflower. The flavor was delicious For dessert we did the panna cotta with the berry compote. I would go back just for this dessert! So creamy and the berry was just the right amount The carrot cake was a little too dry for my liking.
Did not disappoint!
Date night before a show and this place was perfect. We started with amazing charred baby artichokes and the charred octopus with lentils. Both were excellently seasoned, charred, and plated. From there we shared the veal and spinach ravioli that was also amazing; that sauce was somehow light but indulgent and very seasonal with the sage notes. We also shared the Chilean sea bass with garlic and fennel, another hit. The fennel itself could probably have used an extra minute on the heat for maximum caramelization but the fish was perfect. For dessert we had the pear and hazelnut napoleon. A bit hard to eat with the pastry layer being so firm, but the flavors were perfect, especially the roasted pears. The cocktails were spot on and the delightful Gary took very good care of us all evening with excellent wine recommendations and personalized service; we felt very much like treasured guests. We came fairly early in the evening so did not notice any issues with noise that other reviewers have complained about. The place isn't cheap but it's Georgetown and they clearly invest in their service, atmosphere, and ingredients. Highly recommend!

Great Service - amazing dinner!!
Read about the site in NYT and bought a reservation at Mother Wolf in LA 2 days later. Worked great and the food was amazing!!!
Worked perfectly!
Got the reservation (that I couldn't get anywhere else) and was able to entertain a group of friends at the infamous Bern's Steakhouse.
Got into Nobu Malibu
Wonderful! My parents are visiting and we have wanted to go to Nobu Malibu for years. I tried getting a reservation myself but it was next to impossible. So glad I was able to buy a reservation on appointment trader for a decent price!
Very easy
Was very hesitant going into this experience but am glad to say that it worked out very well ! will definitely use appointment trader in the future
Fabulous Lunch
I was veeeeeerry skeptical that this would work, particularly at a restaurant as hard to get into as Nobu Malibu, and it was perfect! We had lunch outside on the patio and it was fabulous!
Great reviewer team
Just wanted to take a second to shout out the reviewer team. Even though they probably review hundreds of listings and bids a day, they still take the time to leave great comments and respond relatively quickly. Thanks!
Incredible
I got a reservation to Don Angie, which I've been trying to book for weeks! I am very happy with this service.
Best platform out there!
Super simple, easy, and fast to secure reservations for hard-to-get restaurants and locations!
This app is life changing
This app has opened my world up to so many wonderful new experiences I would never have the chance to have without access to this awesome app! 10/10!
Worked perfectly
Was a little nervous at first but was pleased to see that the booking went through flawlessly.
Highly recommended.
Success on Short Notice
Was able to snag an indoor table at Don Angie through an absolutely seamless worry-free process.
Worked perfectly, thank you!
This is a crazy holiday season in NYC and I was very pleasantly surprised to see that AppointmentTrader works! Will be using again!
Worked flawlessly!
Worked so well! I was a bit nervous, but everything went very smoothly. purchased the reservation, and got into the restaurant seamlessly.
Love this app!
So glad I came across this app :)
Quick table in Miami
I didn’t have my hopes high as it was a party of 4. In 24 hours I had a carbone reservation available! I was very happy as my family really wanted to come here
Prime time, great meal
So easy and had a prime time which I can never seem to get on normal res apps. So worth it
Got impossible NYC res
instead of waiting weeks I got my 4 charles reservation instantly
Worked perfectly to get into Carbone. So delighted
perfect
Worked well, got me into a restaurant with no availability
I was skeptical, and I still don't really know how they managed to find this hard-to-find reservation, but it was a win-win from my point of view, and I'll use this service again.
Last minute reservation for Delilah Las Vegas
Got a last minute reservation, dinner for 2 at Delilah Las Vegas: super impressed! The process was simple, transaction seamless. We had an amazing time! Couldn’t be happier! 😍
It works!
Ok at this point I've attended a reservation purchased on AT by a friend and sold a reservation personally. Both worked pretty smoothly, nothing sketchy about it. A few areas for improvement including a way to more directly communicate between buyers and sellers, but the app always seems to be in development. AT customer support is really(!) responsive and helpful too if you have questions!
Money transfer
As a seller, I like the fact i have the ability now to transfer money out of my AT account and into a bank account. Makes getting the money much easier then the process before.
Love this app
Got to go to places otherwise unreachable
Easy Access
Very easy to get into one of the hardest restaurants to reserve in New York.
Whose name will my reservation be under when I arrive at the venue?
It can be under your name or a name you choose! Some reservation offers already include the AppointmentTrader Transfer Service which will transfer the reservation in to your name. If its not included you can add it on after buying the reservation for a small fee. One thing on that though: As many reservations become available at last minute, taking a reservation in someone else name is quick and great for privacy. Most reservations on AT are listed with a virtual phone number, so all you need to do is present the phone number at the hostess stand and you are good to go!
Payouts Blocked Because of Sell Through Rate
Does anyone know how AT plans to handle cases where a seller is quitting the platform but has a sell through rate <25%? The error message I got said to fill more bids or find other ways to increase the rate.
Is AT really going to block sellers from withdrawing their money? Especially revenue made before the sell through rate was introduced??
Tune into NBC News - Top Story Tonight 7:40p ET
Let’s go. Get more people placing bids!
I will give you 50% of ALL of my PROFITS if you teach me how to make profits?
LOL. Thank you The New Yorker.
Appointment
Transferring reservations is not supported in AT. Why not just use the name in the AT screenshot?
Buyers interested in Bern's Steakhouse: PLEASE READ
Same goes for 4 Charles and I Sodi
Prepaid Reservation Fee
Agreed. Ultimately not addressing this month after month is clearly resulting in a drop in certain venue’s rankings & sales.
Congrats on 3 mil

Need to cancel a bid, not getting a response… how do I do it?
Click on "Take off the Market Option" in your portfolio
Working on your bid?
Your bid has been “matched” with a reservation. From the time a reservation has been located, the seller of the reservation must connect with moderator to give transfer information for reservation. If the seller;however, does NOT respond to reservation transfer, then your bid is reprocessed and returns to the first step, which is connecting your request to a reservation.
Process after bid is accepted.
Hey @EvocativeFold67, welcome to appointmenttrader! Once the reservation is in your portfolio, you definitely own the timeslot, the review team would not have approved the trade if the reservation wasn't confirmed - so you are going :-) Judging from your post you bid today and are going tomorrow - don't worry as long as you initiated the name transfer, you are good - the transfer service has to work with the opening hours of the reservation team of the respective venue. You will likely see the transfer confirmation a couple hours before your reservation time.
Where do the Reservations on AppointmentTrader come from?
Mostly from people who don't need their reservations or appointments any longer. AT has no relationship with places listed and acts as a platform connecting buyers and sellers making sure that listed reservations are real and that privacy is not compromised when transacting.
What happens if my bid expires unanswered?
Hey @FluffyStar64, thanks for the question! When you place your bid the amount gets transferred in a deposit account, the second you either cancel your bid or a few minutes after the bid expires the funds are moved back into your main account from where you can refund it to your payment method or use for other transactions.
