Love the ambiance of Milton's. The entrance was a little hidden, but this place felt so intimate and snazzy with an upscale diner feel. It's unique in the sense that it's connected to it's bar, Lee's. I love all of their little details and decor. They also have a little photo booth at the entrance that's quite popular and very cute. Service was great. Our server was so hospitable. We had a sampler of their appetizers and entrees and shared it among a party of 4 and it was so much food. Loved the Chitarra and parmesan chicken the most, but everything else honestly was so good as well. Definitely will be returning. read more

We tried Milton's out for a somewhat spontaneous date night and it was a good choice. Nice atmosphere without being overly stuffy and beautiful decor. Intimate/cozy setting For our meal we had the arancini, broccoli ceaser, chicken parm, rock shrimp scampi. Every entree has an extremely generous portion of freshly grated parm on it-almost comically so. Arancini was delicious, crispy on the outside, gooey on the inside. Broccoli ceaser was a bit surprising. When I read charred in the description I imagined a warm salad, however this was chilled chopped broccoli. It tasted as if it was cooked in beef tallow and had a surprisingly smoked brisket like taste. I didn't love it. Hubs liked it more. The chicken parm was good. Rock shrimp scampi was delicious. To me, it tasted a bit like if sour cream and onion lays flavor were distilled into a creamy citrusy sauce. We were too full for dessert but maybe next time as I want to return! Service was excellent and prices weren't off the charts. Overall would definitely recommend!! read more

Milton's has a great balance of casual comfort and upscale dining with a classic old New York/Chicago feel. The atmosphere is warm, intimate, and a little nostalgic, making it a nice spot for anything from a relaxed dinner to a special occasion like an anniversary or birthday. The vintage-inspired decor and cozy setting give it plenty of character without feeling overly formal. A solid choice if you're looking for Italian food in a settling that feels both sophisticated and laidback. Service was absolutely phenomenal. Our waitress was fantastic and the gentleman who helped refill our drink orders was very attentive and helpful. The food was good but based on the reviews, I was expecting Great. We ordered: Sicilian Tar Tar, Arancini, Cappelletti, Orecchiette, and Tiramisu. The Sicilian Tar Tar was very fresh and light however, the star dish of the evening was the complimentary bread basket. The breads are baked in-house so they tasted very fresh and so delicious. I would definitely return for the bread basket and to try other dishes but I would not order the Cappelletti or Orecchiette again. Both dishes were more on the bland side and the Tiramisu was just okay to me. Perhaps the ladyfingers were soaked too long or something because I didn't get any texture of it. I also did not taste any coffee flavor. I definitely would not order that again. read more

CHEF'S KISS I can't even begin to THINK of a word that describes the feeling(s) we have experienced. EUPHORIC. Our taste buds have exploded--and from someone who has had his fair share of Italian food, my boyfriend has rated this in the top 3. The tiramisu was heavenly. I loved how much Marsala was soaked into the lady finger sponge cake. And the white cream around it was the cherry ** on top! ... the food, the service, the decor was all-so-spitz-ing. Chico was a fabulous and attentive waiter who also respected our time. PSA there's a speakeasy with a ¡POST-IT! wall and photo both to share memories ... SHHH! read more

We have been many times now since they first opened and the food has been consistently delicious. I appreciate that the menu rotates enough to keep things interesting but my favorites remain in rotation. Service is always friendly and the ambiance in the dining room is such a great vibe. We enjoy going for drinks at Lee's next door before coming for dinner. I love trying new dishes but I can never leave dinner without having the caffe noncoretto. read more

Gosh, our dinner here was PERFECT. It is such a cool restaurant with a laid back, relaxing atmosphere. We went to Lee's next door for a drink which is down the hall, and loved it there too. Our server was very attentive, and when we were indecisive on food options, he gave honest and truthful feedback! He even got us the onion rings on the house because we were indecisive about appetizers. I wouldn't have normally ordered those, but they were SO good!! The food was worth the price, and I am looking forward to eventually coming back!! read more

Milton's was a great time! Definitely make sure to make a reservation ahead of time. Great date night spot as it is connected to Lee's which is a bar next door. You can get there through a hallway at the back of the restaurant and there is even a cute Photobooth in that hallway! We enjoyed our food. The branzino took a while but it may be the best branzino I've had in Houston! It was baked perfectly and super crispy and flavorful. The only thing I would skip next time is the arancini. Overall great ambiance, would come back! read more

What a delight to be given the opportunity to hang out with Milton and his crew! The space is small--very cozy and imitate, dim lighting. Please request the bread omg the best part of the meal. The breadsticks would most certainly be a last meal request from yours truly. The charred cabbage was satisfying...could've used a little salt. I appreciate the "small bones" warning from our waitress as I ordered the branzino but boy what an understatement!!! If I hadn't grown up in Louisiana picking bones since I was in diapers a choking incident or hospitalization would have been my wild card for the evening! The fish was delicate and fresh- could've used a little more salt. My rum based cocktail was divine, wish there was more of it. I'm grateful for the dining experience at Milton's! Grab bae and head over to Lee's for a smooth nightcap! read more

We finally made it to Milton's yesterday evening and enjoyed a wonderful dinner. We had chargrilled oysters, chicken parm, chicken piccata, The Milton salad. For dessert, tiramisu, then a digestive drink Caffe Non-Coretto which has Fernet Branca bitters, pistachio milk and I forgot what else but it was perfect. Portions sizes were generous which is a major plus in my book so not only did we not leave hungry, we had leftovers to take home but we knew we over ordered a bit. Our server was Dre and she took excellent care of us. The place's layout is same as when it was Eau Tour but decor has been changed out. It's got a great ambience. We'll be back soon and hope to be in Dre's section again : ) read more

Epic date night spot! Unfortunately a bit hard to get a reservation at so would recommend planning ahead, but really delicious Italian food! The chicken parm is a great classic no ruffles parm. The scampi was incredible. Can always stop by their connecting bar Lee's before or after. read more

I started my evening at Milton's ascending a small yet imposing staircase to reach the dining area. I will say that the anticipation paid off. The place is impressive and elegant. The staff were also pleasant and attentive, checking in on us and making sure we knew what dishes were new and popular. Based on recommendations, I got the lasagna, which was designed based on the Italian flag and was stunning-both in appearance and taste. Each bite was balanced and flavorful, going well with both of the sauces. The chicken parm was also elevated in flavor, giving a home-like and rich feeling to each bite. For dessert I got the chocolate mousse and it was rich heavenly bliss. The meringue and mousse went perfectly together in both flavors and textures. A wonderful experience! read more

Milton's is one of the restaurant concepts from the Local Foods Group. It's located in the former Benjy's and reservations are recommended. We sat at a two top booth. It was a bit small as we had jackets and purses, but we managed. Our server was Kara and she was great. My friend read reviews prior to our visit so she was aware of the complimentary bread basket. The bread basket is by request only and is not on the menu. It was really good and I'm glad we ordered it! The bread is baked fresh daily and they only bake enough for the day. I started with the Chaplin Swizzle. It was sweet and bubbly. The drink was very pretty and had a gradient effect. I also tried the Turin Horse which was similar to a Negroni. It had a completely different flavor profile, but I really enjoyed it. For my entrée I had the Roast Chicken. It was so juicy and flavorful. The portion was large and I had plenty for leftovers. I also enjoyed the bed of greens that accompanied the chicken. For dessert, I had the Olive Oil Cake. It came with vanilla ice cream and it was really good! I'm not sure if the chocolate cake is still on the menu, but we were told that it's the same recipe from Benjy's. Great food and great service! I'm really happy I had the opportunity to dine at Milton's! read more

After getting back from our Dallas trip, my friend and I were craving something comforting--so pasta it was (her favorite). We ended up here and honestly, it did not disappoint. We ordered the scallop special, chicken parm, and the sourdough tagliatelle, and everything was so good. You can really taste the difference--everything felt fresh, like it was made from scratch with quality ingredients. Service was also a highlight. The staff were super welcoming, attentive, and just genuinely nice, which made the whole experience even better. The ambiance was really cute and cozy--perfect for a date night or even a chill small group hang. Overall, a solid spot if you're in the mood for good pasta and a comfortable vibe read more

Milton's is a great spot if you're looking for Italian cuisine. Beautiful indoor decor, great for a date night, specially occasion or event. Bar area is very nice and great customer service. As it was our first time there the server gave us a complimentary mushroom appetizer it had great flavor although it is not on the menu. What I ordered : Appetizer Tuna N'duja (very fresh not too much flavor or spice) Sourdough Tagliatelle (10/10) Ruby Royale (fresh not too sweet) Pinot Noir One thing to note is Milton's has a speakeasy connected inside called Lee's. This makes it an even more fun time out because you can start at Lees and then go eat at Milton's or vice versa. There is also a photobooth at Lee's! read more

I think I owe Milton and an apology. Milton's was our backup restaurant on a busy Friday night, but it should've been our first choice. I'm sorry Milton. Having to walk up the steps into the restaurant and enter the art deco-esque atmosphere was a shocking and well received suprise upon entry. I have never been more impressed by a restaurants interior. And as a music lover, you could tell the playlist was personally curated to perfect the atmosphere. lover and I greatly appreciated this. The Ruby Royale cocktail was to our liking, as was the Arnold Palmer which was made with some kind of lemon soda. The bolognese was delicious with an abundant amount of bread crumbs that were to my liking. The chicken Parmesan was solid and well made. Not necessarily standout if I must point out however. I find chicken Parmesan to be only as good as it's sauce, and sauce there was little. Together with the polished luxe atmosphere, the service was outstanding and friendly. The friendly service leveled out the nerves of being in such a visually stunning environment. read more

Headed here for a birthday celebration and after we located the entrance and scaled the stairs, found a charming dining room with subtle lighting. Consider elsewhere if any of your party has mobility issues. The effort is worth it. Wait staff was very attentive and friendly. Answered questions and were quite knowledgeable about the menu. Started out with beef carpaccio and it was a lovely rendition that for my taste needed more caper presence and less of the flash fried greens but that's preference. Our mains were the hundred layer lasagna that rotates its composition with our version leaning deeply towards the traditional and the cresta de gallo which was rich and filling. They comped a birthday tiramisu which was huge and definitely after downing pasta, more than enough for two. read more

Milton's is a classy and cozy space above the rice village local foods spot. The TLDR: friendly service, delicious appetizers and salad, the pasta is fresh but could use a little more salt, and the tiramisu is dreamy and delicious. Faves: - Arancini: creamy little fried clouds of comfort. - Heart of Palm and the Charred Cabbage: both crisp and delicious, wedge has a nice char and loved the bread crumbs to add some texture to the party. The good but could be better - Sourdough Tagliatelle: nice light texture, a bit light on the truffle flavor. I guess my taste buds crave salt Rock Shrimp: not bad, light chili garlic flavor. - sourdough garlic knots: had a really delicious flavor, especially paired w the burrata. The texture was just kind of hard to chew. Soft on the inside but strangely tough/chewy on the outside and not in a crispy kind of way. It's still yummy tho but with the price I don't think I'd order it again. Tiramisu is a dream and a must get! Cocktails were pretty yummy. Overall would love to come back and try other dishes. read more

This is a combination review for a dinner at Milton's that I purchased at a charity auction and a subsequent meal where we brough our son and daughter in law to Milton's to celebrate their 4th wedding anniversary. Bottom line is that Milton's should be your go to place for just good old Italian fare but in an upscale but not stuffy atmosphere. Mark Sayre - the restaurant groups beverage director hosted the charity dinner for my wife and I and 4 other guests. We were served 9 courses family style including a couple of cold plates, a couple of salads, a couple of pastas and a couple of entrees along with a dessert. Everything was fantastic and Mark did a great job of hosting and explaining the wine pairings. The best of the apps was the Sicilian Tar tar. Tuna, scallop and salmon perfectly marinated on crostinis. The Hearts of Palm Salad was excellent, and they are definitely sharable, probably made for 3 - 4 guests to share. Of the two pastas the Cresta De Gallo stood out the most, but the Bolognese was also virtually perfect. Of the two entrees we enjoyed the Chicken Piccata slightly more than the Hanger Steak. On our second visit, Ryan was our server. He had been our server at Underbelly, One Fifth and Georgia James in the past and remembered us immediately and was a wonderful host for the meal. This time the table enjoyed the Chargrilled Oysters and the Parsley Salad to start. We also sampled 4 pastas - The Cresta De Gallo again, the Chitarra with Scallops and Uni, the Lumache with Vodka Sauce and the Sourdough Tagliatelle. All were fantastic. My personal favorite was the Chitarra. In the end we finished off all 4 so no leftovers. We then shared the Chicken Piccata as our only entree. This dish is so good. Juicy Chicken, flavorful sauce, and the Sourdough Tagliatelle was the perfect accompaniment. We also enjoyed two desserts - The Budino (which is more like a chocolate tort than a pudding) and the Tiramisu. Both wonderful. If Milton's wasn't over an hour from our house, it would become a regular on the rotation. But it is definitely good enough to warrant many return visits. read more

Milton's American Trattoria - Chicken Piccata and Hanger Steak - Italian Near Me - Houston, Texas

Milton's is hidden around the corner from Local Foods and they serve some great "Italian-American food" as the host explained. There are a few flights of stairs to get up to the restaurant, and the interior brings you back a couple of decades. A little moody, a little romantic-- it's refined enough to wear nice clothing but also welcoming enough to go in jeans. Service was friendly and our water glasses were constantly refilled. They start you off with an assortment of warm bread and olive oil. The pasta is made in house and cooked well so it's actually al dente. My favorites were the cresta di gallo pasta, frutti de mare, and charred cabbage, but we all enjoyed everything. :D I'll save room for dessert next time-- we will be back! Definitely check them out for some nicely cooked pasta :) ** Charred cabbage: roasted tender and comes with a scrumptious dilly crème fraiche. A little challenging to serve but we could have just asked for a knife to help separate the cabbage. ** Frutti de mare: nicely cooked (happy it's not fried!) and not rubbery at all. It tasted fresh and was a nice mix of octopus, squid, mussels, and shrimp with a hint of acidity. ** Roasted squash: butternut squash that was flavorful enough to appease the veggie hater and roasted tender. Not extremely unique, but it was a tasty appetizer~ ** Rock shrimp scampi pasta: fun lumache pasta shape, didn't have many shrimp pieces but was flavorful with prawn oil and butter. I actually thought it tasted like pizza (in a good way!)... it was my second favorite pasta of the night. ** Cresta di gallo: named after the rooster's crest, this pasta shape is so fun! Even though this didn't have meat, the mushroom umami flavor was so satisfying that one doesn't miss it. Creamy but also not too heavy with the Parmesan foam, this tasted a little like mushroom stroganoff. ** Bolognese rigatoni: a classic and done right. Good balance of meat sauce and pasta to let the pasta shine. The guys enjoyed this one. ** Branzino: This was recommended by our waitress, and it was pretty good. Lots of parsley and tastes herbaceous. It did taste slightly charred towards the collar. She warned us ahead of time that there were still bones near the collar and tail and again when the fish arrived to the table. read more

Brynn was awesome! She was extremely knowledgeable about the menu and easily answered all of our questions about different items. She also made a great recommendation for a glass of red wine. The food portions were very generous for the price. We ordered the arancini, fried onions, bolognese, and chicken parmesan. Everything was delicious, and we left feeling full with plenty of leftovers to take home. As a bonus, Brynn and the manager were both rooting for the Knicks in Game 5 of the Finals, which made for some fun conversation throughout the evening. It was our first visit, and we really enjoyed the entire experience. We'll definitely be back! read more

Run don't walk. We popped in for a midweek date night and baaaaaby this place was everything. The setting was nice, they accommodated us at 9:20p, and staff was great. I believe Ryan took care of us. He was thorough and made sure we were well informed of what to expect as well as willing to accommodate request. We ordered the Negroni Blanco and Self Representation to drink. Both were delicious, but the Negroni was our favorite. We selected the Short Rib Lasagna and Branzino to eat. The lasagna was good, perfect portion, and not too heavy. The sauce was fresh and the noodles were well made. It didn't stand a chance! The Branzino was grilled to perfection. My only request was just a little salt to bring out the flavors more. It was topped with fresh herbs, veggies, capers, etc. He did bring me a house made chili oil that contributed to the heat I was seeking. So all in all no regrets would totally get it again. Oh did I mention he gave us an order of complimentary snap pea arancini balls. There was a lemon aioli and pancetta vinaigrette that was a perfect complement. I loved everything about the space. It was inviting, unique, and elegant. We peeped our heads in Lee's just to check it out. They were past last call so we didn't get to hang out over there. I most definitely will drop by soon. The bartender mentioned a steak night and other programming during the week. The vibe was right and we hopped in the photobooth to capture the memory of the night. Please show them some love during the week too. You will not be disappointed. read more

It's been two weeks since I visited Milton's and I'm still reminiscing over their decadent tagliatelle. If ever there were a dish that could teleport you, it would be this one: infused, lathered, saturated in French butter, every bite echoed with Parisian hymns. It wasn't just the tagliatelle that created a transformative experience, but the garlic knots, too. Paired with the truffle burrata, these knots were crispy with a doughy interior. Perhaps what makes Milton's a top tier dining experience was the staff. Not only were they friendly, they were attentive and knowledgeable! I will definitely be returning. read more

Very pleasant experience coming here. Servers were kind. You have to ask for bread service, rolls were the best part of it with foccacia runner up. I enjoyed the touch of orange and olive in the dip, could use some pepper too. Loving the Sourdough knots moment with burrata and truffle. All the best things in one dish kudos to the creative thought process just wish it was less oily. Texture of the pasta was soooo good and light and the sourdough crumbles added nice crunch. Even the spaghetti tasted like udon in the best way. 1 lb of eggplant and it was all cooked to perfection, very bready. You can tell they use quality ingredients. They have a vast desert menu but all the portions were so grand and full the Italian wedding cookies were the perfect closer. Probably best thing we had too the first bite is heaven....and all the others. The food was made with love. Looking forward to coming back and trying the other pasta dishes and desserts read more

Milton's Trattoria was such a great experience from start to end! My husband said "best Italian he has had in years". The restaurant had such a cozy yet upscale vibe that sets the perfect mood for a relaxed dinner or special occasion. The food was outstanding!! Reviews of each dish below. The lasagna and leek salad were standouts. Service was another highlight. The staff was friendly, attentive, and knowledgeable about the menu, offering great wine pairings and helpful suggestions. We will absolutely be back to try more!! Food we ordered: Tuna N'duja - 10/10, the waiter recommended this and omg it was insanely good and packed with flavor. The tuna was so fresh and I really enjoyed the slightly Smokey flavor Leeks Vinaigrette salad - 10/10, they brought this out complimentary and I am so glad because it was a highlight of the meal. Such a unique salad and delicious with the crunch from the crispy chickpeas and the light citrus flavor made this a perfect pairing for heavier main dishes 100 layer lasagna - 1000/10, They switch out the flavors so ours this night was a short rib with red sauce and it's hard to explain the perfect balance of flavors. It was very rich but just the right amount of food and I had to force myself to stop eating and share with my husband it was that good Veal Parmesan - 10/10, great take on a veal parm. Thin and crispy and the pasta on the side was simple but perfectly cooked sometimes restaurants make it too al dente but they were perfect. I want to go try the chicken parm next! Olive oil cake - 9/10, I had always wanted to try an olive oil cake and I was excited to see it on the menu. It was so light and fresh fruit flavors. I would definitely recommend it. I am more of a chocolate girl so it was a different dessert for me but honestly still surprised me how much I liked it read more

Went with the family and definitely enjoyed this place. Service and Ambience was 5 out of 5. Service was amazing and really cool place - upstairs and looks like an Italian Restaurant in NY or Hoboken, NJ. We had a good amount of food. For appetizers, we had Garlic bread and it was a unique twist and delicious. There was a pepper spread and chopped garlic. The bread was great by itself and even better with the garlic spread. My wife and daughter had the hearts of palm salas. I do not like hearts of palm, but they loved it! For dinner, we has the chicken picante (best dish if the night), chicken parm, lasagna and lumacha alla vodka. Lasagna was second best. Chicken parm and lumacha were OK. I had the parm, and the chicken itself was not hot, but the cheese and sauce on top was. Nothing special. read more

Finally came to try this place out last Saturday. Albeit was very late, (like 9pm) but every bite was worth our time. The ambiance was quite busy for a Saturday evening. It's a quaint little spot for a lovely date night. We were offered chargrilled oysters, complimentary of the chef. That was a nice start considering it was our first time to dine here. In addition to the oysters, we had the Frutti di Mare with a mixture of shrimp, octopus, calamari and mussels. That dish alone was an excellent choice for a light appetizer. Everything we ordered was delightfully delicious. The menu was appropriately priced and offered a variety of options. I particularly came for the branzino and I wasn't disappointed. We ran into Daniel from Maximo's and he was gracious enough to stop by our table to chat a bit. It was nice seeing him. He had an after dinner drink (Caffe Noncoretto) brought to our table. It made for a nice presentation. We also ordered the delectable olive oil cake which was perfect all by itself. It was delightfully moist and savory. If you're ever craving a lemon olive oil cake, this is the one! Overall, all of our entrees were cooked to perfection and the staff was very attentive and made for an enjoyable late night dinner.

Came here about a year ago when they first opened and then again last week. Both times we had a great experience, and the food has been fantastic. Definitely some of the better red sauce italian spots in Houston, if not the best, and the ambiance is really nice. The creste de gallo and truffle butter sourdough tagliatelle were both some of the best pasta dishes I've had in Houston. The Sicilian crudo and chicken piccata was also outstanding. On our more recent visit, our server was super great, you could tell he super passionate about the food and he gave us great cocktail and pasta recs. He even brought out some arancini on the house, overall a super sweet experience. Would love to come back read more
