About this restaurant

Charming
Neighborhood gem
Great for outdoor dining

Ristorante A CA MIA is open every April and closes at the end of Fall.

We are located across from the Our Lady Star of the Sea Catholic Church on the Washington Street Mall. We are available for Private Parties, Rehearsal Dinners, and Christmas Parties.

The historical building that now houses Ristorante A CA MIA was built in 1872. William Essen operated a bakery and ice cream parlor until 1914 when he sold it to his niece and her husband, Carl and Margaret Kokes. The business remained in his family for over 60 Years. The bakery is one of the oldest bakeries in continuous operation in the country. By the mid 1930s, the ice cream parlor had become the dining room and the business was operated as a restaurant as it is to this day. Our kitchen is under the direction of Chef Todor Videv. We are available for private parties. We offer early seating dinner selections. We accommodate well behaved children.

Party of 4 each ordered a different dish: lamb was moist and tasty, salmon was delicious, crab cake was a generous size and shrimp scampi had a good number of large shrimp. We dined inside, which was very pleasant. Server didn’t pay much attention to us though and we waited a long time for the check.

This was our first time dining here and it was very good! Have stopped in for coffee and pastries many times but never for dinner. We started with the smoked fish sampler for an appetizer. For entrees I had the crab cake and husband had veal Parmesan and we shared the pistachio custard for dessert. All were delicious. Service was good and portions were large (the crab cake was huge - was glad I only ordered the single as I couldn’t even finish it!) So happy we finally tried A Ca Mia and would definitely return!

Right on Washington Street. We were seated outside and enjoyed watching people pass by. Our meals were good. Wine available by the bottle or cab.

Entrees and specials tasted incredible. Other foods were lackluster and over priced. Amazing bread. Service could’ve been a bit more friendly, but nothing significantly poor.

Food and service were fine. Would have appreciated a fresh parmesan grate on the veggie lasagna vs the store bought pre shredded cheese.

We welcome ACa Mia back with open arms. Nicolai gave us a quiet table in the main dining room so it felt quite special. We are regular diners there and they rarely disappoint! We were party of 4 and we had 4 different entrees. The ravioli sampler was as good as ever. Chicken Parm, Lasagna and truly awesome Burger was a hit with all. The prices have gone up but not outrageously, like some places in town. Our server, from Bulgaria was excellent! And cute!!

The host is very nice and accommodating. Our waitress was excellent. We have known her for years. She is very friendly and meets everyone’s needs. We have dined here in the past many times and always had a very good meal.

Lovely little BYO on The Mall. Food & service are great. The only disappointing thing was we were seated nearly 30 minutes after our reservation, and we had to wait outside… and it was cold! Or appears that they overbooked, by quite a lot, so all reservations were seated late. Other than that, food & service were wonderful.
