I was at Bar Milano celebrating a coworker’s baby shower with my colleagues. I really liked the atmosphere, the service, and the place itself. We had plenty of space, and the staff stood out for their warmth and excellent customer service. The food was good. Overall, it’s an excellent spot to enjoy a great time with friends, family, coworkers, or even for a moment to yourself.
I’m a local to the area and have always admired this restaurant from the outside. The vibe and presentation are classy, chic, yet warm and inviting — so when my friend came down from Brisbane to visit, I took the opportunity to finally try it. Unfortunately, I left feeling very disappointed. I’m not sure if it was poor timing, lack of organisation, or being understaffed, but the experience didn’t live up to the high expectations or the price tag. We were greeted by a lovely gentleman who went out of his way to find us a spot in the courtyard, even though it was quite busy with what seemed to be a birthday celebration. It was a thoughtful gesture and a promising start. However, the service quickly went downhill from there. We waited so long for our meals that I had to call over three different staff members on separate occasions to ask where our food was. The first dish took around half an hour to arrive — and while it was tasty, it was just a burrata with tomatoes and olive oil. I couldn’t help but wonder why something so simple took so long. The staff overall came across as quite snobby and uptight. The restaurant feels like it’s trying too hard to be something exclusive, but it ends up feeling pretentious instead. The simplicity and quality of the food are overshadowed by the sourness of the service. A bit more warmth and genuine hospitality would completely change the experience. Sadly, I won’t be returning, but I genuinely wish this place all the best. It has so much potential — just needs a few tweaks to elevate it from below average to one of the true hotspots of the East.
Had dinner at Bar Milano in Maroubra and there were definitely some highlights. The pasta and wine deals are appealing, and the staff were lovely! We started with a mix of entree’s like the arancini balls, calamari, octopus & burrata and they were all delicious and well-prepared. May main dish was carbonara, which I was really looking forward to, sadly didn’t quite hit the mark. It lacks a bit of depth in flavour. Also, the prices felt a bit steep for the portion sizes, especially for the entrees. Overall, a nice atmosphere and great starters, but a few things missed the mark for me.
We celebrated my sons 21st birthday here. Ruta the events organiser helped bring the birthday together. She is amazing! Lorenzo hosted us for the evening and was fabulous. Everything came together in such a beautiful restaurant. The vibe was perfect!
What an amazing spot! From the second we walked in, the vibe was just right—stylish but still cozy and welcoming. The food was incredible—everything tasted fresh, authentic, and full of flavor. You can tell there’s a lot of care and passion behind every dish. Huge shoutout to Riccardo, the manager, who was absolutely impeccable. He made us feel so welcome, checked in at just the right times, and clearly knows how to run a place with both class and warmth. Bar Milano is the kind of restaurant you walk out of already planning your next visit. Highly recommend!
