Run by three Italians, Milano’s Italian Restaurant is one of the most authentic in Shenzhen. With a great selection of appetizers, pasta, pizza and many other specialities, Milano’s offers good Italian food at decent prices. The menu has a strong emphasis on Southern Italian dishes, many following the recipes of chef Benedetto Stella’s grandmother. 80% of the ingredients are flown in from Italy and the rest are locally produced, which means that their classic cuisine embodies the authentic flavours of Italy.
Went for dinner with my wife. Nice place. Comfortable. Bathrooms are rundown and a little strange as men and women share a bathroom and the door handles are falling off. Seems like an easy thing to keep a handle on... Bad pun intended.
Met one of the owners i am assuming. Very kind and attentitive. Seemed really great, the kind You want to succeed.
Unfortunately the largest problem was the food. I ordered the lasagna and although had a huge portion it had a super funky taste. A meat sauce with some wierd meat that was a pulled... Something but it came off as rotten almost. I couldnt finish. My wife ordered the new zealand sole with lemon and butter and the taste was ok if a little plain but certainly no where near fresh fish. But we could finish it which is more than we could say about my dish. The owner knew of course and was right there to help but he cared so much i chickened out and just said i was full. He didnt believe me. I really wish i could say i will try again.
