Craving homestyle cooking in Jersey City? Milano's delivers with every bite! Fresh, catering-style selections shine in a bustling atmosphere, proving quality doesn't slow down even when lines form. My go-to for daily hot lunches, it's a culinary staple that kept me coming back during my tenure at TD Ameritrade. Situated conveniently next to the downtown post office, Milano's is a must-visit for those after authentic, comforting meals.

This is one of the best sandwich spots in Jersey City. Their hot food selection shouldn't be missed either.

Food is decent but pricing is very shady. On 1 order, I got fish with veggies on a platter plus a Snapple. It came out to $16 so I charged to my credit card. A few days later, I check my credit card transactions and noticed I was charged $17.06. There was no disclaimer verbally or visually that they would charge a fee for using credit card.Usually when I get chicken cutlets or grill chicken, I ask for the spicy sauce instead of the regular. Well today, the lady look at my order and asked if I have the regular or spicy sauce. I said spicy and she charged 50 cents extra. LOL. Seriously, it's the same sauce but with a little chilli flakes added. In a pizzeria, you can put all the chilli flakes you want. My friend ordered the same with regular sauce and he had parmesan added but that didn't cost extra? LOL

Mila's Deli in Jersey City is a hidden gem that captivates with its unpretentious charm and the authentic flavors of its comfort food. Nestled away from the hustle and bustle, this deli welcomes you into a warm, familial atmosphere the moment you step through its doors. The aroma of simmering soups and freshly baked bread greets you, promising not just a meal but a genuine experience.The decor speaks volumes of old Jersey City's soul, a nod to the timeless appeal of such establishments amidst the city's constant evolution. It's the kind of place that feels like it's been there forever, serving as a culinary anchor in the community.The menu, though simple, showcases a profound appreciation for the art of making food that's both straightforward and spectacularly satisfying. The corned beef on rye, for instance, is a masterpiece of balance and flavor. Tender, perfectly seasoned meat complemented by sharp mustard between slices of rye so fresh, it's almost a revelation. It's a reminder of the power of simplicity when done right.But the heart of Mila's Deli isn't just its food; it's the people. Mila, with her warm, welcoming presence, makes every patron feel like part of the family. Her dedication to her craft and her guests shines through in every dish served. The staff moves with a seamless efficiency and kindness, making everyone feel attended to and valued.In an age where the dining experience can often feel commodified, Mila's stands out as a testament to the beauty of genuine hospitality and the joy of simple, honest food. It's a place that embodies the spirit of community dining, where every meal is an opportunity to connect and share in the delight of good food.Mila's Deli is more than just a place to eat; it's a heartwarming reminder of how food can bring us together, serving as a beacon for those in search of a meal that satisfies the soul as much as the stomach. It's a culinary jewel in Jersey City, modest yet memorable.

I miss this place. 14 Years outta Jersey and their Italian combo sandwich is the one I remember and try to duplicate. I always get close, but never close enough. Glad to see they're still around and kicking.
Great neighborhood joint and service with a smile, or a mask. I wish that they were open after work, but I respect that they're not!

It’s one of the few good places in the area that isn’t trying to rip you off, and everything tastes amazing. I wish it was open for more hours so I can have their food all the time.

Iconic deli but beware they make prices up, one day your sandwich could cost $8 the next $11...

Holy moly. First time going in, the staff were so patient with me. I asked what kind of peppers she’d recommend and she went with hot peppers on the classic. Great call. But the star?? The Mac salad!
