Milano’s Moves to The Center at Chenal

Milano's Italian Grill

We’re pleased to welcome Milano Italian Restaurant to The Center at Chenal, a Kelley Commercial Partners-managed property located at 17200 Chenal Parkway in west Little Rock.

After years in their cozy location off Cantrell Road, Milano’s has found a new home in a larger, more refined space formerly occupied by Kemuri West. The new setting features black tablecloths in the main dining area and white tablecloths in a private alcove that can be closed off for parties, offering a more polished atmosphere while keeping the same welcoming feel that made it a local favorite.

The menu still features the generous portions and Italian comfort food regulars have come to love, including house-made sauces, classic baked pastas, and crowd-pleasing appetizers like fried ravioli and Mozzarella Caprese. The Fra Diavolo brings the heat, and the Veal Marsala remains a staple, now served in an elegant space perfect for date nights or group dinners.

Milano’s relocation is part of the continued momentum at The Center at Chenal, which is quickly becoming a destination for dining, shopping, and entertainment in west Little Rock. We’re proud to have played a role in helping Milano’s take this next step and invite you to stop by and see what’s new.
