Loved the milano 2 for 1 offer but like the idea of a pizza and a glass of wine in the early evening for a fixed price!
Friday 13 March, 2009 at 5:25 pm
free glass of wine with every main course, free sambuca after every meal (quite a few italian restaurants already do this), 3 courses for 20 euro, complimentary garlic bread with every pasta dish…..
Friday 13 March, 2009 at 6:03 pm
family/kids deals. Milanos is a great place to take the family!
Friday 13 March, 2009 at 8:35 pm
Fantastic Fresh Foods… great understanding of value and one of my standard treats anytime we are close by.
Friday 13 March, 2009 at 11:45 pm
My six year old daughter loves to eat in Milanos. She loves the children’s menu as she feels like a grown up. The staff are always very pleasant and friendly towards her. In addition, I love the pizzas , really fresh and interesting.

Milano’s dough balls are little pieces of heaven! Extending the time until 7pm in the €12.50 offer would defintly have workers flying in the door!
Saturday 14 March, 2009 at 6:47 pm
It would be great fun if you could haggle for the price of your meal and negotiate what’s included!!
Saturday 14 March, 2009 at 9:07 pm
I think the meal deal is the way to go!
Saturday 14 March, 2009 at 10:07 pm
Early bird specials that start in the afternoon would entice me in for a meal. Don;t always wnt to wait until 5.00pm to eat.
Saturday 14 March, 2009 at 10:15 pm
A Buy one pizza get one free offer would entice me into Italia restaurants.
Sunday 15 March, 2009 at 12:10 am
cheap prices…..and some real italian ice cream
Sunday 15 March, 2009 at 8:08 am
Better choice of menu in the ‘Early Birds’
Sunday 15 March, 2009 at 11:18 am
Milano’s offer a great menu option for children and especially the babychucinno at the end of the meal. My kids love the (healthy) food and the special treatment they get when we dine art Milano’s.
Sunday 15 March, 2009 at 2:53 pm
I’d love special offers on antipasti …
Sunday 15 March, 2009 at 4:16 pm
Free starters, 2 for the price of 1 pizza/pasta dishes, and how about a late bird (owl) menu? Say after 21:30 – we sometimes go for an impromptu late meal, and would do so more often if this offer were available. The rush is usually over in restaurants by then.
Sunday 15 March, 2009 at 11:42 pm
I LOVE milanos pizza…. They are right on the money and taste great….
Monday 16 March, 2009 at 2:36 am
A student discount would be excellent, my friends and I always take this into account when looking for a place to eat.
Monday 16 March, 2009 at 10:40 am
A set menu with mix and match starters main courses and deserts
Monday 16 March, 2009 at 11:31 am
Great food in lovely outlets. I’ve been to a few around the country now. Great stuff.
Monday 16 March, 2009 at 2:36 pm
Student Discounts are always great…
Monday 16 March, 2009 at 2:57 pm
I love the typical italian restaurant smell on entering that great combination of tomato cheese pizza dough and freshly brewed coffee. YUM !
Monday 16 March, 2009 at 3:11 pm
If two people buy a meal in Milano’s each gets a small lasange to take home for lunch the next day…. “come for dinner, have lunch on us”.. kind of idea
Monday 16 March, 2009 at 4:22 pm
Absolutely LIVE for 2 for 1 deals, and love when Milano do them- Italian places usually do the “small meal, big price” kinda thing. Lunch menus also attract me, anything under 10 euro will usually reel me in. Free appetizer and dessert vouchers are also motivation! I just hate to feel like I’m stuck paying the full price.
Monday 16 March, 2009 at 5:24 pm
pre theathre type of deal
buy a main course and get 2 free drinks for 15 euro or so
Monday 16 March, 2009 at 5:42 pm
How about a lunch special of pizza for two plus a drink for a set price.
Monday 16 March, 2009 at 7:32 pm
Home made desserts like Tiramisu done really well.
In Bray Palazzo does a starter, main course and drink
(wine, beer, tea or coffee) for €11 – could Milano match
that?
Monday 16 March, 2009 at 11:23 pm
A special night where Italian wine is featured for a really reasonable price. I remember dining once in the States at a place that had half price wine night, and our table ending up spending more on wine than we would have at regular price just because it was such a good value and we could try so many different things.
Tuesday 17 March, 2009 at 11:00 am
I think the quality of the pizza is what will always bring you back. It’s easy to find good pizza but it’s suprisingly difficult to find somewhere with great pizza!
Tuesday 17 March, 2009 at 4:13 pm
Two for one on the main course is always a treat.
Tuesday 17 March, 2009 at 8:57 pm
Italian themed nights-food from various regions of Italy would be interesting,at about €20 per person.
Wednesday 18 March, 2009 at 9:44 am
I love Milano and all the previous suggestions for deals are great. Would love a two for one on pizza’s, maybe on quieter night like monday and tuesday but a good deal at peak times would also be a winner
Wednesday 18 March, 2009 at 10:10 am
I would love to see some more sea food incorporated into their menu.. Not always looking for a pizza or meat option on a night out. Having said that any time i have eaten there , food has been delicious.
Wednesday 18 March, 2009 at 10:32 am
I would love to see more alternatives to pizza.
Wednesday 18 March, 2009 at 10:34 am
Always reliable in an ever-changing world where restaurants appear and disappear and standards drop more often than they go up.
Wednesday 18 March, 2009 at 3:26 pm
Definitely a wine promotion. I like Milano’s very much, but €8.75 for a decent glass is enough to put you off. Bring on a pizza and wine promotion!
Wednesday 18 March, 2009 at 3:33 pm
I love Milanos, especially with these deals!
Wednesday 18 March, 2009 at 4:54 pm
I’m always looking for places that best replicate Italian food abroad, and I still haven’t eaten in Milano, so this would be a great chance!
Wednesday 18 March, 2009 at 5:52 pm
I haven’t been to milanos in years but when i did get the chance i loved there pizza. Is it still just as good.
Wednesday 18 March, 2009 at 6:38 pm
I would definitely be attracted by cheap or free wine with every 2 mains 🙂
Wednesday 18 March, 2009 at 8:43 pm
Had lovely dinners in Milano’s!
Thursday 19 March, 2009 at 9:37 am
I love Milano’s pizzas, they’re yummy!! A meal deal would entice me into Italian restaurants. A deal such as a starter, main course and a glass of wine for 20 euros on certain week nights would be a good idea.
Thursday 19 March, 2009 at 4:32 pm
I think their deal is very good but maybe they could extent it for a hour or two. I’m sure that would drag in lots of hungry after work customers.
Friday 20 March, 2009 at 3:47 am
I have never eaten in Milano’s but the food looks divine…
Friday 20 March, 2009 at 8:00 am
I enjoy speciality pizzas – especially anything unusual that moves away from the traditional run of the mill efforts.
Friday 20 March, 2009 at 8:44 am
Instead Of A Salad they could have the option of having a Tiramisu instead. Not everyone would like a salad. A small slice of tiramisu with your coffee. Lovely
Friday 20 March, 2009 at 9:36 am
Looking forward to enjoying those new specials soon !
Friday 20 March, 2009 at 11:58 am
I love Milano and go to the one on Grand Canal quite regularly. So I think I deserve a free meal!!
The new deal is great actually, good to see!!
Another deal that would be good is a free bottle of wine with 2 mains Monday-Friday or perhaps so kind of student special?
Friday 20 March, 2009 at 1:43 pm
Milano’s dough balls are amazing -why not include starters or dessert with the lunch menu for €17.50 say?
Friday 20 March, 2009 at 1:51 pm
Pizza/pasta dish with a glass of vino for €10. Cant go wrong. I’d be there every night!
Friday 20 March, 2009 at 3:41 pm
Early bird deals in the evening, or a special starter-entree-dessert deal
