Milano’s Turns 50
That local place with Atlantic City Subs and Pizza has turned 50. This is today’s Milano’s.
It is hardly recognizable today from the original Milano’s on Brown Street. Gone are the old ovens and the standing room only lobby where you had to wait for you name to be called to grab your sub. Today’s Milano’s is now a family friendly sports pub with a quite substantial menu and beer list.
There are now 3 locations in the Miami Valley.
The Milano’s on Brown Street remains and in years past, stores were added in Miamisburg on 741 and in Beavercreek near the Fairfield Commons Mall. But, Dayton Originals like THE FOOD ADVENTURES CREW remember when there was only one Milano’s on Brown Street. Purists will tell you, the subs tasted better 
then, because the old ovens were ‘seasoned’ from years of spices burnt into the baking area. Whether you love the “old school, dirty Milano’s”, or the “clean, modern Milano’s”, you can’t deny that this has been one of the most popular eateries in the Miami Valley for 50 years now.
How did all begin ?
HERE’S THE SKINNY on MILANO’S :
— Founded in 1969 by Ron Woods and partners after visiting a restaurant in Lima, Ohio named Milano’s. They loved the food so much, they opened a place in Dayton the next year and decided to name it Milano’s.
CALZONE
— Sold to ThreeWitt Enterprises( David Fisher, John Slaughenhaupt and Eric Lundgren) in 2002, they revamped Brown Street location in 2005. Opened 2 more restaurants in 2008 in Beavercreek and Miami Township (St Rt 741).
— Sports lovers paradise with huge HD TV’s around the restaurant and bar.
— All-American style menu with subs, pizza and craft beer selections
THE ITALIAN SUB
— Family Friendly atmosphere with an arcade area that kids enjoy
— Great outdoor patio dining area for enhanced fun on good weather days, and it smells better than Atlantic City.
MUST EATS at MILANO’s:
— CALZONES:
A little known fact is that the calzones are great at Milano’s. Whatever ingredients you get, there is plenty of mozzarella cheese inside to cope with, so use that marinara dipping sauce.
— THE ATLANTIC CITY ITALIAN SUB:
Capicola, and 2 types of salami topped with provolone cheese, lettuce, tomatoes, onions, oil, and spices. There is an option on this sub where they bake the sub and add pizza sauce. This is what makes the sandwich, so get the baked option with sauce!
— PIZZA:
We think the sauce is tangy and tasty, so no matter what the toppings, you will have yourself a good “Situation.” The crust is made from scratch, daily. Try it for yourself and let us know what you think.
— THE MEATBALL SUB:
Have yourself a meatball day and dive into this saucy little number. This sub is filling, fun, a tad messy, but worth every bite.
— TIRAMISU:
Try this creamy Italian dessert. It is worth saving room for this dessert. A delicate coffee soaked lady finger bottom, topped with creamy whipped middle and chocolate drizzled topping.
TIRAMISU
Honorable Mention:
The generous order of Garlic bread with Cheese is huge.
The Cheesesteak sub is also worth a try, get extra mayo.
Milano’s has decent side salads that go well with any main event. They also have a reasonably priced kids menu. Be warned, this place gets busy during peak lunch and dinner times.
Just in the mood for a beer? The inviting bar area always has some ‘off the wall’ choices on tap or in bottles. It is a great place to unwind with a cold one.

***HAPPY 50th BIRTHDAY TO MILANO’S !***
For the record, the Big Ragu, whose last name is Milano, has nothing to do with ownership of the restaurant. Please browse through our photo album below for some amazing pics from our Food Adventures to Milano’s.

R Taco Now Open on Brown Street
R Taco a fast-casual joint, is now open at 1822 Brown St, just north of Milano’s, which just happens to be the franchise owners of this Dallas, Texas based concept. The menu features a variety of tacos that run from $2- $2.75, in a lively and welcoming environment. Each taco is hand-made fresh and fast in their open kitchen, using ingredients made from scratch. The result is authentic Mexican street-style tacos that are both traditional and inventive, each with a unique flavor and personality. Warm chips, house-made salsas, craft beers and no-frills margaritas round out the experience.
Serving taco’s for breakfast, lunch and dinner, R Taco‘s is open seven days a week, opening at 7am during the week and at 8am on weekends and will remain open til 10pm Mon – Wed, and til midnight or later the rest of the week. Besides taco’s they also offer chips and salsa, guacamole and queso. To quench your thirst you can choose from sodas, including a selection of Mexican sodas, beer and margarita’s, both frozen and on the rocks, which at $5 are the most expensive thing on the menu. Dessert offerings include a fried fruit taco and sopapilla, a fried pastry, often considered a Mexican donut.
Welcome to the neighborhood R Taco, I think we’re going to be good friends!
Dayton Dragons, Milano’s and Craft Beers-Winning Team!
A brand new HD video board isn’t the only new addition fans will notice at Fifth Third Field when the season begins on Sunday, April 12th.
The Dayton Dragons today announced another major renovation with the creation of the Milano’s Tap Room at Fifth Third Field.
Located on the first base side of the stadium, the Milano’s Tap Room will feature 10 different craft beer selections on tap. Those selections will rotate throughout the season to feature a wide variety of different breweries and craft beers from around the world and even from right here in our own local community.
The Dragons teamed up with two local craft beer experts in Heidelberg Distributing and Milano’s Atlantic City Submarines to design the new concept.
“Aside from hot dogs, there aren’t many things as synonymous with enjoying a baseball game than an ice cold beer,” Dragons President Robert Murphy said. “We’re always looking for ways to add to the fan experience at a Dragons game. The Milano’s Tap Room is a great new space that will bring even more variety to an already great lineup of beer options.”
“My family has been the local beer distributor in Dayton since 1938, but even before that began my great grandfather was brewing his own craft beers,” Heidelberg CEO Vail Miller said. “That craft brewing process has always been a part of our history. It’s why we’re so passionate about beer. I can’t wait to share that passion with Dragons fans all summer long.”
Located at the end of the first base concourse, the space has been completely renovated into an open-air craft beer lover’s paradise. Two garage doors will be lifted on game days to bring the game atmosphere inside.
Fans inside the Tap Room will notice a distinctly local feel, as the design of the space was closely modeled after the popular Dayton-based Milano’s chain. Big screen TV’s, high-top tables, wall decor and a brand new bar are just some of the Milano’s-themed design elements that were included in the new space.
“We love craft beer,” Milano’s owner John Slaughenhaupt said, “so we were thrilled at the opportunity to bring the Milano’s craft beer experience from our restaurants to Fifth Third Field all summer long.”
Currently under construction, the Milano’s Tap Room will debut at the Dragons Opening Day game on April 12th.

Milano’s: A Dayton Food Adventure
The Atlantic City Italian Sub – Get the baked option with pizza sauce
Atlantic City style subs that would make Snooki proud and Pizza loved by many locals. This is today’s Milano’s. But, Dayton Originals like THE FOOD ADVENTURES CREW remember when there was only one Milano’s on Brown Street. Purists will tell you, the subs tasted better then, because the old ovens were ‘seasoned’ from years of spices burnt into the baking area. Whether you love the “old school, dirty Milano’s”, or the “clean, modern Milano’s”, you can’t deny that this is one of the most popular eateries in the Miami Valley.

Little known secret: The Calzones are delicious!

– The CSP Sub: It comes with capicola, genoa salami, and provolone. It is topped with the usual lettuce, tomatoes, onions, oil, and spices. so good it will make J-Woww say “Wow.”
– Pizza: We think the sauce is tangy and tasty, so no matter what the toppings, you will have yourself a good “Situation.” The crust is made from scratch, daily. Milano’s touts the fact that they were voted favorite pizza in Dayton in 2011. Try it for yourself and let us know what you think.
– Meatball Sub: Have yourself a meatball day and dive into this saucy little number. This sub is filling, fun, a tad messy, but worth every bite.

For the record, the Big Ragu, whose last name is Milano, has nothing to do with ownership of the restaurant. It doesn’t stop him from playing tricks on the wait staff with his I.D. from time to time. He wishes he did own it, because the food at Milano’s turns The Food Adventure Crew into a couple of Jersey teens. Please browse through our photo album below for some amazing pics from our Food Adventures to Milano’s.
If you are one of the few who hasn’t tried Milano’s, or you are new to the Dayton area, take a night and check this spot out. Go for our “must eats” and see if you enjoy their Atlantic City tastes.
