First time at Mida and we cannot wait to return - Gunner, our server, was patient and knowledgeable and helped us choose a wine we would like. The insalata misto was unique and delicious, the cacio pepe with buccatini peppery and tasty and the bolognese was so incredible we finished the entire plate. The view from the restaurant in East Boston is also fabulous - Highly recommend

Food is exceptional. Portions and prices are fabulous. We were seated within minutes of our reservation. Staff were friendly. The space is small and can be noisy but it felt comfortable and like having dinner at your favourite Nona’s!
