Milano's is your go-to East Boston Italian deli, serving up drool-worthy sandwiches and pizza in a cozy spot with friendly service that's hard to beat.
"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
