Il Miglio serves artisanal fresh pasta crafted daily to ensure authentic textures and deep flavors. The menu emphasizes traditional Italian techniques, featuring signature preparations such as cavatelli with rapini and sausage or classic tomato-based sauces. Diners order at a counter in a modern, streamlined space designed for efficiency and high-quality production. Each dish relies on high-quality semolina and seasonal ingredients to maintain consistency across the board. The open kitchen layout allows guests to observe the pasta preparation process directly from their seating area. This establishment prioritizes culinary precision by focusing on a concise selection of refined pasta plates. The industrial atmosphere reinforces a functional approach to serving high-end Italian staples in a fast-paced environment that prioritizes flavor above all else.
Il Miglio offers a variety of experiences ranging from highly praised, authentic Italian dishes like the gnocchi and seafood risotto to inconsistent results with pasta textures and portion sizes. While many diners appreciate the quality of ingredients and the friendly nature of the staff, frequent mentions of excessive saltiness, particularly in the carbonara, and issues with cold food or long wait times suggest a need for more consistency. The atmosphere, situated within a mall food court setting, is generally found to be pleasant, though loud music and limited seating can detract from the dining experience. Despite some frustrations regarding value and service coordination, the overall consensus points to a restaurant with significant culinary potential that remains a convenient and often satisfying choice for those seeking refined Italian flavors.
the mushroom pizza was from Tiramisu but we got their carbonara, I love how it was al dente, there were also alot of pieces of pancetta but the sauce was too salty. I love salty food but it was way too salty, i really liked the consistency of the pasta & the flavor tho, only if the saltiness was toned down i would've loved this meal even more. I'll try to come back on a different time & see if it's the same still.
Pasta was cooked perfectly, sauce was flavourful, shrimp was way overcooked & obviously frozen. The portion size was also quite small. I had to eat a sandwich when I got home 2 hours later. I Wasn't expecting that for a $28 pasta & I won't be going back.
The place is pretty enjoyable with the dim lights but it's hard to find a table during the peak hours. Even if you find a table, the chairs are gone & it just leaves you confused. The service at this restaurant was friendly & polite. The counterwaitress answered our questions & took the time to warn us about the food being spicy & recommended us to order mild spiciness instead. We ended up finding the food not spicy at all but the flavours were still quite good & the pasta itself was tasty. The texture was enjoyable & the sauce complemented it so well. I do find the portion a bit small for the price. It was 28$ after tax for the plate & it was barely enough for one.

Rude. I am visiting for work & am pregnant. My baby in the making tells me I want Pasta. Was looking over at their store front & a man comes say' who eats pasta in the morning?!' & made a face. I said I crave it. & he just didnt look or sound very nice. Well if youre planning to ever eat pasta, dont think of eating here!
Had a delicious pasta with lemon cream sauce & salmon. Loved the food.
The only downside is the loud terrible mind numbing horrible beat music they continuously play throughout the restaurants & even outside.
This could be a spectacular place if someone would just choose a better selection of music.
They could pick current top hits or retro 70s, 80s,90s, big bands, Sinatra, anything would be an improvement.
I hope they pay attention to reviews. Many others have told me the same thing.
This was a sudden find & I was blown away by the quality of the pasta & the sauce. The food is truly impeccable here. It goes toe to toe with the likes of Mano Carnuto & Fiorelinno's if not better.
We went in dreaming of pasta with cream cheese sauce. As we checked the menu, the cashier immediately told us they didn't have that option. I asked if the chef could make Alfredo pasta with chicken for us, but he said it wasn't possible. Since we were really craving chicken pasta & there was none on the menu, the chef-an authentic Italian who takes pride in making traditional pasta-suggested that we trust his expertise. He assured us that he would create something amazing, & we decided to go with it.
& let me tell you, it was one of the most delicious pasta dishes I've ever had! Perfectly balanced flavors, expertly cooked, & absolutely delightful.
The dish in the photo doesn't have a name for me to guide you, because we simply told the chef what we wanted, & he created a pasta that tasted like heaven.
Worst Italian restaurant ever. The risotto was a soup & the pasta with pesto & shrimp was horrible, the bolognesa was edible but I wouldn't order it again. & expensive as hell. 3 plates & 4 water bottles, almost 90 dollars. FGS this is a food court restaurant.
The pasta here is absolutely incredible! The flavors are always on point, & the food is consistently fresh & delicious. On top of that, the service is fantastic! the manager & the entire team are so warm & welcoming. Every visit feels special. Highly recommend this spot for anyone craving amazing pasta & great vibes!
