    Pasta very average. Served before our cocktails arrived. Food wasn’t hot. Bread was just plain toast not garlic bread. No butter

    By far the best restaurant on King Street. Having the bottomless brunch on Saturdays is a treat for me after a long work week. Great food and service every time I enjoy a brunch at Mia’s. Make Mia’s your go to restaurant on weekends.

    Mia's never disappoints and is one of my favorite restaurants in Old Town Alexandria. I am a local and I love to come to Mia's and enjoy dinner or just an appetizer or dessert. I invited my group of 10 friends to the restaurant on Saturday. Our service was excellent. The server ensured that we were all taken care of and even made sure to take nice photos. I will definitely come back again and organize more meetup groups there.

    This restaurant was awesome. The food was great, we got the nonnas pizza and it was really good. We also tried the apple donuts which were scrumptious. The service was great, the food came out really fast and the server was really nice. Great experience.

    Mia's is in the heart of Old Town Alexandria and was hopping well past 10:30pm on a Thursday night. We had traveled for several hours by plane that day and were past hungry by the time we arrived for our reservation. Our drinks (smoked Manhttan for me, and wine were very good. The hostess pushed the Zucchini Fries appetizer and they were amazing! Caesar Salads were also great and not over-dressed, which can be hard to find. I had the meatball benedict, which was interesting but somewhat overpowered by the red sauce. Don't think I'd have it again. My guest had a chicken pasta that she liked. We didn't have dessert and while the pizzas are said to be good, we didn't try on this visit. This is a typical "Jersey" style Italian--lotsa red sauce and pasta. Don't go looking for Northern Italian style dishes here, this is more Sicilian in style. A great value considering the location and we would definitely return.

    Would not recommend booking through open table. They sat us directly behind the hostess near the exit, despite other better table appearing to be available. Not a huge snub obviously, but it just felt off for a reservation booked several days in advance. Glad it was not a special occasion. Also, would suggest ordering dressing on the side— salad was actually soggy.

    We've been to Mia's before (and loved it!), but this was our first time for brunch. It was so much fun being able to try new things for one fixed price! Every thing we had was excellent, but we especially loved the brunch bruschetta and the Sunday Gravy. We will definitely be back!

    Excellent food and excellent service! We went for a work social event during lunch time and they were able to accommodate a part of 8, but I'd also go here for dinner. It is a little pricey, but worth going to every once in a while. Just be aware that unless you're willing to pay about $10-15 to park in a nearby garage, parking can be a pain to find at certain hours.

    A bit noisy inside. The cacophony of voices reverberates--but there was also music playing (with speakers mounted all around the dining area) that was a bit too loud on top of the "ambient" noise. Mushroom linguini and veggie lasagna were outstanding.
