Mia's Italian Kitchen, located at the riverside end of King Street in Old Town Alexandria, is rooted in family. Our menu is filled with homestyle traditional Italian recipes sourced from owner Dave Nicholas' Sicilian grandmother. An elegant wine list accompanies beer and craft cocktails on the beverage menu. Dine downstairs and watch the signature Sicilian-style rectangular pizzas cook in the 800-degree brick oven, or upstairs to view the energetic open kitchen. Open for lunch and dinner, plus bottomless weekend brunch.

    Personal pizzas were excellent. We had four different pizzas and all of them were delicious. Service was okay and we enjoyed our meal with minimal requests for basic help throughout lunch. The setting was very nice and the noise level made it easy to converse. Highly recommend for lunch!

    We frequently dine here and we were very disappointed in this visit. First off, the hostesses were all arguing about who was going to take us to our table in front of us, our waiter did not know the difference between flat and sparkling water, our appetizer came out without the silverware and sauce it comes with, and my husband ordered an old fashioned as he does almost every time and it was the worst he’s had there as no simple syrup was included. We don’t usually dine at 9 pm downstairs and it’s safe to say we won’t be doing it again.

    So, we downgraded Mia's because the host was a complete jerk. Seriously, we almost left because of his little power trip. We had a 730 reservation and could not be seated for awhile. When we asked about an open table, we were dismissed. Once we complained to his manager, we were seated. We were glad we stayed. The waiter was over the top. She was kind, knowledgeable, and pretty much on top of everything. The food was great even if it arrived at different times. I don't know if we'll go back. The host left such a horrible taste, but the waiter balanced it out. We will see...

    Service was good, we were greeted when we entered and the wait staff was attentive. The music in the restaurant however was too loud. Lighting at the table was inadequate. The table setting lacked salt and pepper. The pen received with our bill was barely readable when used. Food was tasty, but the filling in the Cannoli's tasted like orange peels- intentional? We may return during the day for one more try. Thank you

    Sadly, Mia's is just mediocre. And even worse , it use to have GREAT pizza..... that is NO LONGER the case, even the sauce tastes different, almost metallic and it smells strange too. On the upside the service was FABULOUS!! Our young waiter was perfect as he ran around to serve a large area. He was the highlight. The ambiance is great, except you can't hear the person next to you . The acoustics are awful. Mediocre at best ( except the service A+
