About this restaurant

  • Good for special occasions
  • Good for business meals
  • Neighborhood gem
Opened in 1991, Max a Mia was named “Best New Restaurant” by Connecticut Magazine in its first year, and “top-grossing restaurant in its size” by Restaurant Hospitality. The restaurant is now in the good hands of Executive Chef Bob Peterson, who has brought an exciting new energy to the restaurant.

Max A Mia is the quintessential Italian experience in the Greater Hartford area. It also continues to garner awards and accolades. Featuring a traditional Italian menu, it utilizes an authentic brick oven that produces stone pies with unmatched flavor. Traditional veal, pork and pasta dishes, as well as inventive risotto offerings, set the mood for desserts including tiramisu and white chocolate polenta cake.

An extraordinary and comfortable 25-foot granite bar has elevated Max A Mia to the social place in the Farmington Valley. The dining room features wood and tile, warmly lit by custom fixtures to create a sophisticated and luxurious – yet friendly, family environm

    Service was wonderful! Food was very good, although we only had salads. Noise level was fine at lunch time - much better than on a busy evening. We sat indoors, but outdoor seating looked great too!

    Pomegranate martini made my girl feral. Cacio y Pepe made sure that we had the energy to continue long into the evening…

    Meat lasagna was OK. Salmon was very good. All things considered, we all had decent or better meals.

    Well we did get off to a slow start as we requested Bonnie and while our request was honored the hostess put us at a table that was not hers😂. Well when we told Bonnie (we are regular) she more than made up for it! Our meals were delicious as usual but my crab dish did not really have the flavor of crab. But delish.
