In case you haven't been to Milo's Taverna, it is an attractive restaurant and bar catering to people who want to be informal when going out for good food and drinks.

The Rabats make special efforts to make sure that all their customers are both comfortable and satisfied. The definition of the word Taverna is a friendly, informal place to eat and drink, and that is exactly what the Rambats have accomplished with Milo's.
