We had to switch our reservation time at the last minute and when I called to ask about it, the Mida employee who answered was so kind and accommodating! And then, of course, the actual Mida experience was wonderful, as well. We go to Mida at least a couple of times a year (usually for a special occasion because we enjoy it so much) and the food and service are never short of amazing. The arancini, gnocchi cacio e pepe, and tiramisu are some of our go-tos, but you really can't go wrong with anything on the menu!

Excellent service! Very knowledgeable and attentive. Bread, olive oil and appetizers were exceptional. As were the wine and specialty drinks. The main entrees used top notch ingredients, were well-prepared and beautifully presented. However, they didn’t measure up to the hype of this restaurant having a James Beard award winning chef; nor did any of the 4 different entrees we ordered give our group the feeling we were back in Sicily dining out.
