The food is absolutely delicious at Mia’s! I took my family right before Christmas and although the restaurant was busy the food came out pretty quickly. We have small children so we always appreciate restaurants that tend to serve their dishes in relatively short times. That said, the short time doesn’t mean sacrificing flavor. Nonna’s Sunday gravy was legit the best sauce I’ve ever had in my life and I grew up around Italians and their Sunday “gravy”. Highly recommend.

Thank you for choosing Mia's Italian Kitchen for your family's Christmas celebration! We're thrilled to hear that you and your family enjoyed your time with us. It's wonderful to know that our Sunday gravy was a hit! Your recommendation means a lot to us. We look forward to serving you and your family for many more celebrations in the future. Best regards, The Management Team

We had a phenomenal meal at Mia’s during the Christmas season. Kicked it off with the giant meatball, which my kids said was the “BEST EVER” (I’ll stop crying next year), and followed it with a great round of entrees including the branzino, chicken piccata and kids meals. Cocktails and dessert were also delicious. Staff were attentive, warm and prompt. Great spot with great decor for your night out in Old Town. Will be back!

We thoroughly enjoyed Mia's. The food was great...and plentiful. Its definitely on the noisier side, so I might not recommend this for a quiet dinner for two. Otherwise, its a great upbeat place to enjoy a fun dinner.

Got a weird high top table in the bar area - would be fine for one person to eat at but not two. Plus, you have all of the patrons in the bar area fighting for spots/bumping into you. Drinks were very good. Minestrone had something spicy in it (we couldn't figure out what it was), so despite the recommendation was only OK. Caesar salad was excellent. Pasta was very enjoyable. Very lively in the restaurant and clearly a popular place.
Mia's Italian KitchenResponded 6 days ago
Thanks for visiting us. We're glad to hear that you enjoyed our drinks, minestrone, Caesar salad, and pasta. We apologize for the inconvenience caused by the table arrangement and the crowded bar area. We appreciate your feedback and will certainly take it into consideration to improve our future guests' experiences. We hope to see you again soon at Mia's Italian Kitchen.
