Count 'em on one hand — and with apologies to anybody we inadvertently didn't count: Bruno's Little Italy. Ciao. Ristorante Capeo. Cafe Prego. Bravo Cucina Italiana. Zaffino's in Sherwood. To make a half-dozen, add Graffiti's, a Mediterranean hybrid with a primarily Italian accent.
Now add Milano's Italian Grill, perched near Little Rock's western edge, an offshoot of Conway's Verona Italian Restaurant, next-door to the westernmost branch of Casa Manana in what for some years was a pizzeria and which most recently had housed an outlet of Layla's Gyros & Pizza. (An erstwhile sibling in Maumelle we praised just under a year ago has recently come under new ownership.)
