About this restaurant

  • Good for special occasions
  • Neighborhood gem
  • Charming
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

    Terrific evening, as usual! Food came promptly--I love how all entrees are served at once, by several servers.

    We sat in the main dining room, which was moderately loud. Our wine was great and the food spectacular. I ordered the 8 oz filet mignon and my husband had the soft shell crab special. Both entrees were excellent. Unfortunately, we didn't have room for dessert, but the dessert options looked delicious. Would highly recommend and look forward to our next visit very soon! Don't forget to ask about their Max Vantage card to accrue points for future visits.

    Great one of my favorite new restaurants. The tomato sauce they give is magical. The branzino and pizza are great as well as all the pastas we have tried.
