4.0 Milano (Temple Bar) 4.0 star review:
For me Milano's does exactly what it says on the tin. You know what you are going to get. There is great value to be had also with all the various promotions from Milano themselves and also the O2 treats. We dined using the O2 treats which meant we got our mains half price. I opted for the Padana Leggera as always and my boyfriend had the Pollo Ad Astra both of which were delicious. The Padana was topped a little more heavily than usual but definitely no complaints from me on that front. The only gripe I have with this place is the price of the wine. I think a 250ml glass of wine priced at 9.40 is a little punchy in these economic times and I dare say the wine is not of a high enough quality that four glasses should cost almost 40euro. Saying all that I will be back again no doubt.

4.5 Milano (Temple Bar) 4.5 star review:
Very good experience. Both of us had classic pizza. I had the Veneziana. Would have loved more of the caramelized red onions on top. They were very savory indeed. My friend had the American pizza followed by cheesecake and coffee. She loved it all.
Place was full when we arrived. Staff was very friendly however they lacked the personal touch. We had to keep hunting staff down to get things like our order taken, dessert and finally our check. On the other hand, there was no rush to feed us and get us out.
I would go back and ask for extra onions, yum.

Went here on a Sunday evening, didn't have reservation and was very busy but still managed to get a seat. However, it was in the corner by the door so was hard to relax as there was a constant breeze and meant people passing by were staring in on you. Anyway, got pizzas from the Romana range which were delicious, can not fault them, so beautifully made. Got the famous dough balls for desssert which were yum, however, a little too filling. Despite the unfortunate table position, overall, was a lovely dining experience. Second time in the particular Milano's and will be sure to return as you are always guaranteed to get a good quality pizza.

I visit this restaurant 3-4 times a year when I'm hungry and don't want to be disappointed. Its in a great location and I have never been disappointed with the food, great for pizza, pasta and salads. Staff are always friendly and cheerful and food always arrives on time.

Called in with the kids on new years day as we where in town and figured we would grab a bite to eat. I have eaten in some of the other locations before so knew what to expect.
The staff generally give off a dont give a monkeys attitude but it was new year day so i can imagine that most of them didnt want to be there.
The restaraunt is spread over 2 floors and has the kitchen visable on the ground floor so you can see whats going on.
The pizza's and pasta are tasty but i have a pet gripe about the prices of the softdrinks. When you open a 2 litre bottle in front of me and pour out 4 glasses of softdrink from it which dont make up a litre and then charge me over €10 for the 4 I feel that i am being fleeced. I know that they have rent to pay and all that but it just leaves a sour taste in my mouth.
So the staff where a bit grumpy, she soft drinks where expensive but the food was ok.
Will i be back, no probably not.

Had a bite there with tesco vouchers, pizza is the same as before, delicious, real italian pizza, staff is friendly and thoughtful, really good for casual eating, only "problem" is pizza is too big for me, no space left for desert or starter.

4.5 Milano (Temple Bar) 4.5 star review:
Three of us ate here. The service was pleasant and efficient. The server really knew the menu inside out and attention to detail was very good. I chose a very tasty bruschetta to start whilst the second member of the group had a mozzerella and tomato starter. She stated that she would have preferred vine tomatos instead of the beef type served. The third member of the group declined a starter. For mains I had the piccante pasta. The other two members of the group had chicken pizzas. None of had desert as we were quite full. We all enjoyed our food. The atmosphere was very nice. Overall a very enjoyable dining experience. In addition we all won a prize in a Christmas draw. I will return here again.

We opted for the festive menu which proved to be very satisfactory. There was good choice and excellent food turned out to everyone in the party at the same time. I'm not usually excited about Italian food but the food was very flavoursome. The polpette were deliciously spicy and the pancetta & chicken salad couldn't have been improved upon. The tiramisu dessert was ample in size. The waitress we had was delightful and full of chat with a ready smile. She was able to recommend a nice montepulciano wine which was reasonably priced. The whole meal was very enjoyable and I'm looking forward to going back and tasting more of their salad combinations.

My husband and I visited here for lunch recently and it was a really great experience. Initially when you walk in the atmosphere doesn't feel as nice as it actually turned out to be! The staff were lovely - so friendly and helpful. The food was really delicious. We both had salads and they were gorgeous. We used an O2 treats offer so it was great value, but the food and experience were so nice that it would have been worth it even at full price. I definitely hope to return to this restaurant!

Three of us ate here recently, I had Rustichella pizza which was excellent. I asked for it without the Caesar dressing, and was glad that I did, the other flavours were perfect and I think Caesar dressing would have overwhelmed it rather than complementing it. I had a very nice glass of Pinot Grigio with it, and a latte afterwards. Between three of us the bill was approx €100 for three mains, and bottle of wine, glass of wine and three coffees. Staff were great, the place was packed (Friday evening after work crowd), but they were very pleasant and efficient. Will definitely go back.
