Milano

This proved an interesting restaurant. It's very attractive to visit.Excellent location for the hippodrome theatre. They certainly coped with a busy pre theatre lunch session.Limited menu. Staff were helpful,at times we felt at little over stretched. Food,in the main all good.Little touches would have raised the bar. The sea bass was very good,but had been dried out around the edges,from the pass,which given it was busy was odd. Lasagna,good,but lacking that crispy finish.Not exceptional. Everything arrived hot. Calamari,good, little rubbery. Things like putting olive oil and balsamic vinegar on the tables would be a nice touch. Mains came with a salad The desert's we had were excellent have to say,my lemon based one,one of the best I eaten. Tap water provided no problem. Wines, delicious whites well chilled. Price point above average to high for the quality. But overall a lovely lunchtime experience. Thank you. We will visit again.

Excellent selection of seafood which is not always the case in Birmingham. I had the lobster linguine while my wife had the seafood linguine. Both were delicious and we shared a bottle of white wine which went down well. I will say that I don’t eat much seafood and didn’t realise there was further meat in the lobster claw which I hadn’t been given the tool to crack until the waiter who collected the plate asked about it, although he then cracked with the tool even if it was slightly cold. Even so, the meal itself was great.
