    Not a good night for them. We’ve had many a great night there, but the ovens were filling the room with smoke and everyone was complaining that their eyes were hurting. Management was not going to table apologizing or any customer service in motion. Very disappointing.

    It was the first time my family and I ate at MIDA Newton. It was an amazing experience. Every staff member was friendly (our waiter was TOP-NOTCH), the food was absolutely delicious (I was embarrassed that I completely and shamelessly cleaned my plate!!!) and the ambiance is so beautiful and festive. Totally a good value. I may even do events for my business there - it would be a very fitting place for a fashion show, photoshoot, etc. AND the Newton location is local to my business, which is a huge plus. GREAT experience and we can't wait to be back! My hint to you? Two words: MUSHROOM PAPPARDELLE. You're welcome! CARLA SHAW

    Arancini were exceptional. Pasta Bolognese also. They didn't have the wine we ordered but the server made a lovely substitute and comped us on the wine. The noise level, however, was intolerable. And our table for two was so long we had to lean in and shout to have a conversation. It was so loud that we left before dessert and went to Rancatore's for ice cream and quiet conversation.
