We had a very positive experience here. The menu was extensive, the food was good, the deserts were very good, the atmosphere was positive, and the service was excellent.

My husband and I spent a week in Lake Placid and we did something we almost never do--return to the same restaurant more than once in the same week. Milano North is a great reason to make that exception. The duck was superb (maybe the best I've ever eaten), and the pastas were delicious. While the food is a little pricey, there is a wonderful wine list with many really reasonably priced bottles (under $30). The service was very good and the atmosphere was warm and had a nice contemporary look in an Adirondack kind of way. The only semi-negative comment I might make was the small portion for one of the ravioli dishes we had. However, the dish was so rich and also contained seafood so that made up for the small number of ravioli (two oversized ravioli). If you want a really nice meal, in a lovely setting, you won't be disappointed with Milano North. We ate there twice and would have eaten there again on our final night but it was packed and we didn't have a reservation--so be sure to book ahead on busy weekends.

Milano North is a wonderful surprise, and our frequent dining experiences have been great. The 2nd story outdoor patio is a wonderful addition overlooking Main Street and the lake... conducive to just chilling out!

This restaurant was recommended to me by the staff at the Courtyard by Marriott -- they said it was "not inexpensive" but delicious -- a "quality over quantity" type of place. Coming to Lake Placid from Manhattan, it sounded like our type of place - and we were not disappointed. Compared to Manhattan prices, it was reasonably priced, and the food was very good. The fettucini bolognese was particularly good. The grilled shrimp special was also delicious (the "risotto" that came with it was not what I expected - but that was okay). And our appetizers were quite good too (fresh mozzarella and grilled peppers & minestrone soup). And the newly renovated decor is great too!
