Milano's - Holt La, Birkdale

Yummy pizzas. Excellent crust and good selection of ingredients, well cooked. Especially recommend vegetarian offering.Excellent service. Be back.

Had dinner with colleague on my business trip to Brisbane. We shared big plate of seafood combo. Nice place, strategic location. Reasonable price.

Delicious meal but overpriced<br <br After walking for 1 hour in Brisbane trying to find a decent sit-down restaurant bar that is lively with good atmosphere, we stumbled on Milano.<br <br The experience was great as there was music, TV and good bunch of people at this restaurant. Both my wife and I are fasting for Easter so we were not able to eat sea food, meat, chicken or dairy products. We ordered Bruschetta as an entrée and hands down this was the best we have ever ate and this is coming from a person who is very fussy with food. We also ordered a bowl of chips with aioli sauce and this was also a good entrée dish.<br <br For mains because we were fasting we asked for risotto with vegetables and for them to takeout cheese and chicken. The waiter did say he can make it for us and is happy to put extra vegetables if we liked which was very nice of him however he did recommended we leave cheese because otherwise the dish will be bland. My wife and I decided to leave cheese but take out chicken. The Risotto came and it was in a good portion. Not too much but not too little. Mine was perfect, however my wife’s dish was full of chicken. Being that we were tired and not wanting to send the dish back because 1, we would have either waited another 20 min for the dish or 2, the chef would have probably taken the chicken out himself, waited 20 min and then reheated the dish to make it look like it was fresh… anyways after taking out the chicken we continued eating. The Risotto was delicious and all the ingredients went well together.<br <br Even the lemon lime bitters that we ordered were very crisp and fresh. I think they were missing a mint leave, if they had this, it would have been a 10 out of 10 drink.<br <br Overall the atmosphere and dining was great. PRICE…. However…. I probably would have paid that price for a 5 start restaurant in Sydney CBD. I was absolutely shocked to have paid $98 for 2 rissotto, bowl of chips, bruschetta (2pcs) and 2 lemon lime bitters. Such would have cost $70 in Sydney CBD. Not too fussy to ruin a night and question the waiter… I was happy to pay it.<br <br Would I go back to this restaurant, probably for a few drinks only next time I am in Brisbane, but can’t say I would to dine in. If it was enclosed with a great view and proper dining arrangements, then I would be happy to pay $90+ and dine here.

Milano in Queen Street mall- easy access if you are staying in the city, and great menu. Staff were quick and friendly. We ordered the seafood special; prawns, moreton bay bugs, calamari and salad and fries. Huge meal and all fresh. Fabulous. Can get a little noisy on a weekend evening but otherwise a good night out.

Fantastic and friendly service. Was a pleasure to enjoy time here.The food was amazing. I have been here several times now and always had an amazing meal.
