I took my 12 YO granddaughter to Mia's Kitchen to celebrate her birthday, and they made the occasion special and memorable for her. She devoured her pizza and pronounced it the best she'd ever had, and then dug into my carbonara, which was delicious. As a birthday treat, our server (who was attentive and professional) brought a warm chocolate (brownie? cake?) topped with ice cream and a candle--a perfect ending to a wonderful meal. Can't wait to go back. There are so many things on the menu we want to try!

Lovely ambience and service. They have floor to ceiling French doors at every table that lines the front wall, keeping them open made the indoor seating delightful. Food came out quick and was perfect as well. Thanks for a great 21st birthday dinner 🤝

A wonderful restaurant with pizza made downstairs and gourmet Italian dishes upstairs. We were upstairs with good air conditioning and murals on the ceiling. Italian Great antipasto and main courses. We had lasagna, chicken piccata and branzino and all were delicious. The staff was superb.

I’m sad because I love coming here. And get the mussels every time. But this time the mussels were so over cooked. I couldn’t enjoy myself. And I was craving and so excited to go back. But I was disappointed.

We had lunch with good friends! It was a lovely experience. We were next to an open door. We were almost outside but had a quieter spot where we could have conversations. Our server was young, nice and attentive. The food was excellent. My lasagna had less salt than previously. Which we appreciate for controlling our blood pressure. Please check your other plates to have the least amount of salt while maintaining flavor!
