Our Story
Food Runs in Our Family
Milano’s started in the ski town of Glacier, at the base of the Mount Baker Ski Resort by the legendary Chef Tom Debari and his wife Jeannie.
After 24 years of success, Milano’s was bought by Chef Sam Hassan and his wife Nancy. After living in the mountain for 2 years, Sam took over Milano’s in 2015, improving recipes, wine list and creating Bar Veneto.
In December 2019 Sam & Nancy moved Milano’s to Fairhaven, the Historic District of Bellingham, improving the menu even further, making Bar Veneto an amazing Italian Craft Bar and creating the best and largest wine list in the county (around 250 carefully selected wines).
Come join us for a memorable evening.
We promise you a night to remember.
Sam & Nancy
"Al Dente makes you smile"
You read a book, listen to a tune, admire a sculpture and the artist could be gone for centuries, giving a false sense of eternity.
You cook a meal and it’s gone. Cooking is a humble art, an everyday event and celebration of our lives.
It’s never about the dish, the bottle of wine, the cocktail itself, it’s an interactive art, part of the daily lives in so many cultures, where meal time is a joyful celebration.
At Milano’s we take every aspect of dining as an art form, trying to provide the best experience one can get.
