    Our server was great, but busy. We never felt rushed, but it took a while to get our wine. The food choices are limited, but they accommodate special requests. We chose the spaghetti pomodoro w/added grilled shrimp and the lasagna bolognese. The lasagna was exceptional. Also had the bread service, apple donuts abd chocolate torte with ricotta Gelato and strawberry Gelato. All were very tasty!

    Food was inconsistent. We found the house made pastas bland. Fried dishes were well executed. Cocktails were nothing special. Table was upstairs in a dark area next to the server station and bar.

    The food and potions were really good, especially for the price. The service was decent as it seems like the server was just going through the motions. Overall she wasn’t rude but customer service skills were lacking. We’ll be returning soon.

    It was our first time and it was a 10/10 experience. The only thing I would suggest is that when you go to make a reservation the restaurant should explicitly call out that outdoor seating is only done outside at the restaurant. Luckily they were terribly busy so they say is outside. But next time we will know to make the reservation at the restaurant if we want to eat outside.

    Mia's Italian KitchenResponded on September 16, 2023

    Thank you for the review and the honest feedback. i will let you know that it does say in the notes that outdoor seating is not reservable we reserve these for walk in guest. However from time to time we do make accommodations for reservations if available. thank you again for your comments. Kevin Songster Mia's Italian Kitchen

    I usually shy away from Italian food out because it is never as good as my mom makes it and usually premade/over cheeses but the food here is incredible, don’t let the low prices fool you, love the atmosphere. The divola pizza is to die for, it is sausage with a little kick and some honey on it.

    Service was impeccable. The ambience was perfect for our family celebration. The only challenge was the meal. The meat in the Pasta alla Zozzona was over cooked and was crunchy. Also, dairy free options were not obvious causing a challenge for a family member with severe dairy allergies.

    My wife, Cat Snickers and I stopped by for a later lunch and enjoyed sitting outside together. We shared a Strawberry and Arugula and the Viktoria’s Spaghetti Pomodoro! They even split it for us which was great! Loved the Salad and enjoyed sharing the spaghetti together! Great amount of food! Highly recommend Mia’s if you’re in town looking for some solid Italian cuisine and in house made pasta and pizza!

    We tried the bottomless brunch and really enjoyed the variety of food and portions were perfect. The only thing we felt was the pizzas were overdone but otherwise not bad. Pastas and salad was our favorite. Our only issue was the service. It was very very slow. It took a little over 2 hours for the whole meal. We had to hunt down our waitress to get refills and food took some time to get the table. We will give it another try and hopefully service will have improved.

    This was our first experience, and it was delicious! Homemade pasta with homemade sausage and cheese bread appetizer were very good. Had leftovers. Chicken Cesar salad was okay. Chicken was a bit charred, but juicy and flavorful. Good service. Nice vibe. Perfect for family or date night.

    This is one of my favorite restaurants. The location is great, the food is delicious, and the service is outstanding. I went there yesterday and Betty was our server. She was spot on, helpful, kind, and funny! We really appreciated her service. My friend said her Caesar salad was the best she's ever had and I agree. The food really is delicious. Anything I've tried there is really good. Special kudos to Betty!
