Milanos Italian Grill - West Monroe
Garry Arnold Jr. Growing up in Jersey, I’ll be honest — I’m pretty hard to impress when it comes to Italian food, and especially pizza. A lot of places in the South just don’t hit the same.
That’s why Milano’s Italian Grill means so much to us.
My wife and I celebrated our 17th wedding anniversary here, and from the moment we walked in, it was clear how much care they put into what they do. Our table was beautifully set with flowers and placemats, the food was outstanding, and the service made the night feel genuinely special — not rushed, not scripted, just thoughtful.
The calamari, chicken piccata, stuffed eggplant, and yes — even the pizza — reminded me why this place feels like home to someone who grew up with real Italian food. They even surprised us at the end, which was incredibly kind and completely unexpected.
Huge thank you to Labi and the entire staff for going above and beyond. Nights like this are why Milano’s isn’t just a restaurant — it’s a place people remember.
