Welcome to

Milton’s American Trattoria

Milton’s is an Italian-American trattoria from Local Foods Group in the heart of Houston’s Rice Village. Reflecting back to the golden age of gathering, the intimate restaurant offers a beautiful, approachable setting where people of all ages can come together to meet old friends and make new ones.

Food

Led by Executive Chef Kent Domas in tandem with Culinary and Creative Director Seth Siegel-Gardner, the Milton’s menu is filled with dishes that honor tradition and evoke nostalgia alongside classics with modern touches. Like any Local Foods Group establishment, quality, locally-sourced ingredients are central to the menu, as are small-batch pasta and breads that are made daily. Among the craveable, comforting creations are mainstays like panko-breaded Parm with house red sauce and toasty mozzarella, a Tigelle platter packed with rotating antipasto like house-cured meats, and small-but-mighty salads like lemon-dressed parsley drizzled with warm guanciale. Fish and meats are wood-fired in our Josper oven, and desserts like decadent, Texas-sized Tiramisu leave you leftovers to reminisce on the good times the next day.

Wine and Cocktails

The Milton’s cocktail program offers creative takes on classics made to match the golden-age ambiance and pair nicely with our modern, Italian-American fare. Under Local Foods Group Director of Bars Máté Hartai, natural and house-made components shine in drinks like the Rubycello, featuring Texas ruby red grapefruit with a limoncello treatment; sip it chilled or make it a highball with a pour of Cocchi Rosso and rosé bubbles. More traditional options include the Milton’s Martini or Old Fashioned, each with their own unique spin. An accompanying wine program helmed by Local Foods Group Wine Director and advanced sommelier Mark Sayre offers an Italian-focused mix of Old World and eclectic, balancing depth with approachability in both flavor and price point.
