For one thing, Radio Milano has a pretty genius Twitter page, boasting their happy hour “when Camelback turns pink it’s time for drink!” I love it! They’re always advertising neighborhood night which is Mondays and Tuesdays where you can get an entree + salad or dessert for only ($20.0) which is an amazing value for the quality and quantity of their food. I first heard about Radio Milano from a fellow food writer and it just sounded yummy! Then, after continuously reading their twitter posts from RM I was just waiting for a fellow foodie invite or a chance for my husband and I to get a night out so I could go see for myself!
This is where the food tramp hopped on for the ride and it was a great one!! After being seated our server and their general manager came out and greeted us. We were served warm bread with fresh olive oil and garlic and offered a drink. I started with their ginger press ($9.0) which coincidentally tasted exactly like my favorite martini at Metro!! A gin based lemony ginger cocktail that included ginger ale as well, mmm mmm tasty.

Next we were bombarded by almost every appetizer on the menu. Deviled eggs ($5.0), shattered potato chips ($6.0), crispy calamari ($9.0), celery Caesar ($9.0), and the caprese salad ($10.0). I was utterly stunned when I saw the deviled eggs as I have never seen them in a restaurant and they were out of this world! The calamari was probably my favorite, nice and lightly crispy.
Entrees were flowin as well. There were seven of us dining that evening. We each ordered an entree and Radio Milano threw in a few extra entrees just so we wouldn’t leave hungry!! Talk about amazing food! Everything looked remarkable and tasted even better. At first glance I wanted to order the house made parpadelle ($17.0) but then, I saw the cowboy ribeye steak ($25.0) which is my favorite cut of meat on earth so I chose that. I’m glad I wasn’t shy because that was one major cut of meat, wholly moly!! The taste was also better than any steak I have had in a restaurant this year. They cook it over mesquite wood chips and wow, you can really taste the smoky flavor. It was so juicy and delicious. It needed no accompaniment at all. It was so humongous that I saved half for my husband and will soon be taking him there so he can have his own!

Dessert…oh Radio Milano, you’ve spoiled my sweet tooth with your amazing treats. I was excited to try the olive oil cake ($7.0) as it stood out and was a different concept that struck my curiosity. We also received three scoops of amazing gelato from Grateful Spoon Gelato that were to die for! Let’s not forget those sinful mini butter cookies in the basket by the door. You know the ones…with the mini chocolate chips?? Yeah, next time I’m there if that basket goes missing, I know nothing about it (wink,wink)
So, to sum it all up, Radio Milano was wonderful! I’ll be back again, and again, and again.
