Review Summary

Il Miglio Express draws praise for amazing pasta that is al dente and saucy, with dishes like pistachio pesto linguine with Nordic shrimp and gnocchi that are soft and buttery, and a carbonara where guanciale is fried just enough to be crispy without burning; the tiramisu is described as incredible and real Italian pasta is praised overall as excellent for a quick, fresh pasta fix; the chef is seen as skilled and authentic, while some reviews note longer wait times due to a busy kitchen run by a small team and newer staff; there is a sense of welcome and a homey atmosphere, and although the location is mostly takeout, a communal seating area is available; overall the experience is consistent, flavorful, and satisfying with dishes cooked in front of customers and a clear emphasis on quality.

If you're looking for an authentic Italian dining experience without booking a flight to Italy, Il Miglio is the place to be. I've tried countless Italian restaurants, & none have left me as satisfied & impressed as this one. If I could give this place more than 5 stars, I absolutely would. Everything about Il Miglio is genuine, from the chef's passion for authentic Italian cooking to the carefully selected ingredients that go into each dish. The dough is made with a traditional touch, the sauces are rich & flavorful, & the attention to detail is unmatched. The flavors are not just there; they shine in every bite. Each dish takes you on a journey to Italy with its depth of taste & authenticity. One of the highlights of dining at Il Miglio is their daily special. I always end up choosing the dish of the day, & I'm never disappointed. The creativity & variety they bring to the table make every visit a new & exciting culinary adventure. I'm never afraid to try something new here because I know it will be exceptional. In fact, I went today & just had to write this review. Today's dish was the Rigatoni Gricia, & it was absolutely divine. What sets this Il Miglio apart is its consistency & dedication to quality. I sometimes drive all the way from Laval just to dine here, even though there are other franchisees under the same name. This particular location surpasses them all, offering an experience that feels uniquely special every single time. The ambiance is cozy & welcoming, making it perfect for a relaxed meal with family or friends. The staff are friendly & knowledgeable, always ensuring that every guest feels at home. You can taste the love & effort that goes into the food, which is rare to find these days. Whether you're craving a classic pasta dish or something from their ever-changing daily specials, Il Miglio delivers on every front. It's the kind of place that turns a casual meal into a memorable dining experience. Do yourself a favor & visit Il Miglio, you won't be disappointed. It's Italian cuisine at its finest, right in our backyard.
