What People Are Saying About Bistro Milano
Featured Review

In Short – Northern Italian cuisine and attentive service encourage well-tailored diners to put down their leather binders, set aside their reading glasses, and order another glass of the house red. As at its fancier siblings Remi and Bice, here Italian specialties, including individual pizzas and homemade pastas like chitarra and cavatelli, shine. But, in a nod to Italy's Mediterranean neighbor, there's also a paella alla Valenciana on the menu. Options for carb-counters range from several types of salads to osso busco and burgers (fries are extra, though).
Editor's Tips
- Lunch Spot:
- Financial and publishing gossip bounces off the mirrored walls during lunch and happy hour; some locals and office workers even join the tourists for dinner.
- Outdoor Seating:
- Teenagers photographing themselves hanging off of Robert Indiana's famous "LOVE" sculpture are visible from, but not annoyingly close to, the tables at the sidewalk cafe.
- What to Drink:
- Milanese servers will happily suggest a bottle from the "wine wall," as well as wish you a "buon appetito."

Perfection!!!!!!!!
by LaurenRose
Absolutely superb! The food was perfect, and quick to arrive without making you feel rushed, beautiful setting, simple yet elegant menu, casual but very classy - but by far the best asset was the staff -- very attentive, kind, and helpful in particular waitress Ally who was just wonderful! A must for anyone in New York City!!!!!!
Some of the best service I've ever had in a NYC restaurant
