    Delicious and amazing! The calamari with the hot peppers were perfectly cooked. The zucchini flowers were delectable. We had the lasagna and the carbonara which were both outstanding. Reliable and the place we go to impress our guests with flavor and ambiance.

    Mida is a gem! The food is creative without being fussy, the service is attentive and fun - in E. Boston, you can't beat the view from the patio. We didn't try the pizza but it looked excellent. The swordfish was topnotch, the short rib lasagna was mouthwatering. The wine list features lots of interesting offerings, prices are reasonable.

    This experience was not as good as usual. We sat near the windows and because of the flies and bugs we had to move. Then our meatballs from the special was burnt. The bartender was ok and make good drinks just not as cheery as the others have been. Otherwise food was decent. Just not our favorite Pazza experience and we love it here.

    Super nice spot popular with the locals. Great vibe to kick off a weekend. The spicy margaritas are on point as is the salsa - great kick on the spice. Food was a good value.
