Food felt more authentic Italian than the Americanized version at Olive Garten or Caraba's. They did make a few errors in our order. But those items where adjusted from the menu. Daughter ordered a salid that normally comes with shrimp but substituted the shrimp with chicken. It came with shrimp anyway. But they fixed it quickly! The ombance was great but a bit noisy, hard to talk across table without yelling. Course it was early on a Saturday night so it was buisy.

Our service was great, host staff was awesome. I check in at 620 to let them know I was there bit my other persons was running a couple minutes late. They understood and we were seated at 635 for our 6:30 reservation. Tables were a little close- either i or person be hind would bump chairs at times. Overall great experience.

Mia’s is our go to restaurant that we often go to when we have guests in town or are craving some amazing Italian food. Our experience tonight did not disappoint! Monica, our server, was by far the best service we have had to date! She was incredibly friendly, attentive, and made us feel like we were her only table, even though it was pretty packed. I can’t recommend Mia’s enough and hopefully you are lucky enough to have Monica serve you! We will be back!!

My husband and I went to Mia's Italian Kitchen for our 25th wedding anniversary dinner. The food was very good, and the service was fast, but the restaurant overall was not quite what I had in mind. It was very loud and boisterous, good for a Friday night out with friends, but definitely not the place to go for a romantic dinner for two.

Really amazing food! Our service was great once a waitress came, but it took about 25 minutes for that to happen. That would be my only complaint. I do appreciate that they accommodated me when my Uber was running late and we were about 10 minutes late for our reservation.

It was our first time visiting, very hard to find parking near by. (but thats of course nothing to do with the restaurant, just the area) Inside hostesses were not friendly/welcoming at all. Our server was nice and very polite. We didn’t like food we got. 2 out of 3 pasta’s were super dry, and one was overcooked. Drinks were ok. Inside its a beautiful place, but probably would not return there.

Our service was so awesome and the food was delicious. My only complaint was the hostess side...they were not very friendly and promised me a table on the upstairs floor for my friends anniversary dinner...and then came back saying they no longer had a table available when they had just confirmed they did. Overall that was my only negative of the experience.

It was my birthday on the night we came. The service was great. But the kitchen messed up my order & I had to wait a very long time for my food, while everyone was nearly finishing there’s. I had to share my husbands salad while I wait for my meal. If it wasn’t for my server being great I would of ask to speak the the manager to complain.
