Reviews of Il Miglio show a mix of praise for the food and varied experiences with service and value. Diners frequently praise the pasta, risotto and seafood dishes, noting fresh flavors, satisfying textures and sauces that complement the pasta, with some carbonaras described as authentic and cream-free while others are criticized as too salty or underseasoned. The atmosphere is described as dimly lit and lively, but finding a table during peak hours can be difficult and timing of courses can be uneven. Portions are sometimes considered small for the price, though many dishes such as gnocchi, lasagna, cannoli and the risottos receive high marks. Some staff are noted as friendly and helpful, including warnings about spice levels, and several reviews highlight standout dishes like a lemon cream sauce with salmon and a well executed seafood risotto. Overall, Il Miglio demonstrates strong Italian cooking at times, but consistency in service, portion size and value varies across visits.
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!
Great pasta, perfectly cooked el dente. tasty & fresh ingredients. Impressed. Food a solid 8.2/10. Had the rigatoni, mushroom risotto & mushroom pasta. Only thing can improve on is finding new flavours. Worth trying.
