Mia's Italian Kitchen, located at the riverside end of King Street in Old Town Alexandria, is rooted in family. Our menu is filled with homestyle traditional Italian recipes sourced from owner Dave Nicholas' Sicilian grandmother. An elegant wine list accompanies beer and craft cocktails on the beverage menu. Dine downstairs and watch the signature Sicilian-style rectangular pizzas cook in the 800-degree brick oven, or upstairs to view the energetic open kitchen. Open for lunch and dinner, plus bottomless weekend brunch.

The bottomless brunch was outstanding! We had 8 separate items from the menu, each one with fantastic flavor with rich and fresh ingredients. We certainly had our favorites (the meatball Benedict, cacio e Pepe, Margherita pizza, italian raisin bread) but each selection was temping. Great service from a friendly staff made the experience complete. Highly recommend. We will return soon!
