"There are two Italian delis on this East Boston guide because we love chicken parm sandwiches, and also because the ones at Milano’s are really good. In particular, the chicken napolitano - a chicken cutlet sandwich topped with prosciutto, red peppers, and mozzarella - is so much greater than the sum of its parts. You can also pre-order your meal for takeout, so you’ll never have to settle for a sh*tty in-flight sub again." - joel ang

"There are a number of Italian delis in East Boston, but Milano’s is easily the best. Almost everyone gets their order to-go, but you also have the option to sit at one of the few tables here. The chicken napolitano - a chicken cutlet sandwich topped with prosciutto, red peppers, and mozzarella - is a great option, but you can’t go wrong with any other sandwich either. This place also has excellent arancini, if you’re feeling particularly hungry. Even if you’re not, you should order one anyway." - Joel Ang

"The Italian deli was heavily damaged in a fire in June 2017, and its highly anticipated reopening was attended by big crowds." - Rachel Leah Blumenthal

Authentic. Delicious. Friendly. Their bakery pizza is sublime. The cappuccino was perfectly made. The chicken salad was spectacular. The veggie breakfast burrito ‘Veggie Bomb’ was beyond words good. AND the impeccable service made everything that much better. There is so much there to try, the menu is huge and filled with all manner of deliciousness.

TheSotoStandard Review : We were looking for a solid Breakfast spot in east boston , to replace our usual which was Angelas. We were pleasantly surprised by Milanos Breakfast. The lady welcomed us in and made sure we got exactly what we wanted and made sure to prioritize us and whatever we needed. We got 2 Egg Bomb Omelets , I got a side of Steak tips medium cooked and my girlfriend got home fries and a bagel. We were shocked to say the least , really great breakfast and for 40$ less we got a better meal, than we would have if we went to their neighbor Angela’s. So as far as cons, the place is rather small and you cant really invite more than a few people , but this place is great if you’re looking for a nice chill intimate atmosphere. So 5 star for sure.

Oh my lord, this place is unreal. Best Italian sub I have EVER had in my 37 year lifetime. Don't pass up your chance to eat at this place if you are passing through. I'll say it again, OH MY LORD! I'll be back here EVERYTIME I want ANYTHING Italian! Cancelling my trip to Italy because I was just there 10 minutes ago. Enjoy

While visiting Boston I was looking for a good Italian sammie. After reading lots of reviews, I settled on Milano's and I'm glad I did! The staff was fantastic, as a chatty midwesterner I always want to talk, but the people of Boston do not. Once they found out I was from out of town they wanted to give me all the food advice, and were absolutely the sweetest. I had the Italian Grande, the Arancini, and a ricotta canoli. The sandwich was probably the best Italian sammie I've ever had, and I think my favorite meal in Boston overall. Just sad I didn't get to grab a sandwich on my way out of town.

This was the best pizza!! OMG. Perfect thin crust, white pizza with garlic and spinach. And as soon as I walked in, the fabulous smell of garlic and I KNEW this would be absolutely awesome. It was.

I was in the North End, not exactly finding any place I wanted to eat lunch at. So I did some research and found Milano's up in East Boston. My advice? Skip anything in the North End, and just come here. I had the Italian Sub Grande with six, count 'em, six layers of toppings. More imported cold cuts than I can name, provolone and mozzarella cheese, herbs, peppers, onions... So much that it doesn't fit in the ciabatta roll it's served on. Which brings me to the ingredients of the sandwich. Every ingredient on that sandwich was the absolute best you can find. The meats, cheeses, and vegetables were all flavorful and fresh. The bread was incredible, chewy and soft. I ordered the Italian style fries which were, like the sandwich, delicious. They're covered with flavorful herbs, garlic, and parmesan. Hot, crispy, great flavors. The service was friendly and fast. Prices are a bit on the high side (about $11 for the small sandwich, about $6 for the fries) but hey, first of all -- it's some of the best food I've had in a long time, and second, that was enough food that I couldn't even eat dinner after having this for lunch, and I am a three meal a day kind of guy. Bottom line, this deli is more than worth it. If I am ever in this area hungry again -- which I probably will be -- you can bet I'll be stopping here again, and I couldn't recommend strongly enough that you do too.

I can’t believe I lived so close to this place for two years and am just going now! Their Italian Cold Cut sandwich is really good! It has a lot of meat and great bread. It’s an excellent deal for 14 bucks.

All the staff went above and beyond to help me when I called in on my first trip to the states and my last day on the way home to the airport. Chañel was sooo lovely and helpful and so was their delivery guy who actually paid for my meal because I couldn't access my phone for my card, not only was they all super cool and lovely Chañel actually gave me a arincinni ball for a airport snack which was beautiful and so needed. Their generosity and warm welcome was something I've never witnessed before and I have told everyone who will listen, Chañels only response was that I pass on the kindness showed and ask the next person to do the same, Chañel I have done as you said. THESE PEOPLE ARE UNIQUE AND REFRESHED MY FAITH IN HUMANITY 💖💖💖💖
