Nestled above Local Foods in Rice Village, Milton’s serves up Italian-American classics with flair, spotlighting a decadent 100-layer lasagna and a stylish speakeasy vibe.
"We love that Milton’s focuses on the classics and puts all its energy into perfecting pasta. The folks at this Rice Village Italian restaurant do it well with their “100 Layer Lasagna,” which rotates ingredients like tender oxtail ragu but maintains a decadence that keeps us coming back. And the only thing that makes swimming in red sauce better is the service. The staff is attentive, giving recommendations on which cocktail is best to accompany your cresta di gallo while also tossing out a compliment on your new blazer. Whether it’s to sit at the bar and marvel at the spiciness of the “Tuna N’duja” or to pat yourself on the back for being able to get the lasagna before it runs out for the day, make any excuse you can to go to Milton’s." - gianni greene, chelsea thomas
"Located above Local Foods in Rice Village, this new Italian-American trattoria offers an enticing spin on classics, with 100-layer lasagna made with oxtail, chicken parmesan, and cresta di gallo, a throwback pasta from the Pass & Provisions that combines roasted and pickled mushrooms and toasted yeast in a Parmesan cream sauce. The Tigelle platter, an extravagant snack plate, is filled with antipasti like coppa, fermented leeks, Parmesan, and whipped burrata, which can be stuffed into the warm, aromatic, ampersand-imprinted flatbread that’s baked-to-order. Diners can seal the experience with a slice of towering tiramisu and the warm and frothy Incorretto, Milton’s unconventional take on a caffé corretto that combines homemade aerated amaro and pistachio milk." - Brittany Britto Garley
