We had a fantastic experience overall! Our large party visited on Christmas Eve, and everything was exceptional. The atmosphere was lively and festive, setting the perfect tone for the evening. Our server, Hailey, was absolutely amazing—attentive, friendly, and made sure we had everything we needed. The staff as a whole felt genuinely welcoming, which added to the positive vibe. Highly recommend!

Absolutely amazing experience! We are locals and have been to Mia's before but this time was out of this world! We went for Christmas Eve dinner, ordered family style and Yasmire served us. Not only was she attentive but she was friendly, informed about the holiday specials and efficient. It's hard to find quality Italian food in Orlando that never disappoints, (especially on a holiday) with an exceptional staff and this is it! Thanks for a wonderful evening

Amazing venue, felt like I was in a famous restaurant in NYC. Music in the background was lovely and our waitress was excellent. She validated our parking which was $10 so that was really nice. Not sure if they do that with everyone and they gave us a free dessert too as well. Again not sure if they do that with everyone but it was the best service I’ve had in awhile.
