   Went here for Dine Out Boston. The service must not have been good that day b/c it took over half an hour to be seated when we were told it’d take a few minutes. Our waitress also took a while to take our order and handle requests. Only enjoyed 1 food item, so I don't think I will be back

   Went for Boston Restaurant Week 2023. Menu had good variety of options, Food was delicious. Ample servings. Service was fantastic. I asked for a wine suggestion to go with my dinner and server was able to make suggestions, give me a sample, and he was spot on. My companion wanted a slight variation on a cocktail on the list and got exactly what she was looking for. We got a parking spot on the street practically across the street.

   I've been wanting to try Mida for a long time now. Ordered the arancini as an app, then the tomato pesto pasta and cacio e pepe gnocchi. The arancini were good, but lacked the ground beef and peas that I traditionally associate with the food. The pesto dish was amazing! Sadly the gnocchi didn't live up to my expectations. However, the service was excellent and I would definitely go again to try other dishes!

    Short rib lasagna was great! Really good food. Menu had just enough options and not overwhelming. Red sauce was flavorful with a nice acidity from the tomatoes. Fresh made pasta was great. Our server, Dan, was very good as were the front of the house folks. Will be back!

    Amazing menu and food was delicious. I got a spicy tequila cocktail and loved it. My boyfriend loved the duck legs, I thought the meat was delicious, sauce was a little too sweet for me though. We shared the chicken w risotto and the bucatini and both were amazing. It was a huge portion of chicken so definitely a big bang for your buck. My only critique is to remove at least one of the small two person tables, they’re trying to fit in too many by each other and it makes it awkward to sit down and leave your table when you literally have to move your table to squeeze by. Otherwise, an amazing date night!

    We had a 5:45 reservation for four people. One of our party arrived a little late so we apologized to our server who said she’d ask the manager for an extension on our allotted time (which we didn’t know about). We were surprised to learn that we had been “extended” to 7:15 (presumably meaning our original reservation slot allowed us under 90 mins, which seems tight)! Our entrees were slow to arrive, which was just before 7pm. Shortly after 7:15, we were told that if we wanted dessert, we were free to order it to go. I had mentioned to our sever that it was my partner’s birthday at the beginning of the meal. As we were paying the check she mentioned that she had a surprise for him, which was a slice of dessert boxed and bagged up. We were then approached by another staff member to tell us our time was up. I’ve never had that happen before, at any restaurant, in any city. Not sure I’ll recommend or return :-(

    Food and service were excellent. Unfortunately the 2 tables nearest us were very loud - the people next to us were literally yelling - with this and the acoustics of the place it was impossible to have a conversation at our table.

    Delicious for sure! Strong Italian wine list too with a lot of value priced options. Portions very decent sized. Would certainly return. The tuna/pasta main was great and the arancini were yum. One point - most of the seating is close and adjacent to other tables - so the room is a bit loud. Those with some hearing impairment might have a challenge especially if the tables on either side are occupied.

    Mida never disappoints. Our server (Daniel) and food were first rate on this most recent visit. The focaccia is terrific, as is the arancini, but one appetizer for two may be enough if you want to have room for the chef's terrific pasta dishes and entrees. I always have trouble deciding, but opted for the chicken and was glad I did. I appreciate that they let diners try the wine -- I decided against my first choice this time, and was glad I had the taste.

    Mangia Monday is the best deal out there. Delicious bread, two salads, and five pastas for $80? Can’t beat that for such good good. Outstanding service as always. Complimentary special drinks and dishes. One of our favorite spots, hands down.

    Greeted and seated within a reasonable amount of time despite being a bit early for resy. Server was friendly and attentive initially but service trailed off as she got busy. Forgot one of our starters and coffee at the end of the meal and we had to flag her down to order and remind her of unserved wine. Overall service was good with bar staff delivering cocktails and food runners making sure dishes arrived timely and hot. The cocktails were tasty but contained more ice than drink. We ordered arancini to start, lovely and crispy with a nice tomato sauce with a small kick. A little bit more sauce would have clinched it fit me and it was topped with a beautiful veil of grated cheese added to the plating. For entrees we ordered the Short Rib Lasagna and the Bolognese. Both dishes were delicious and had a nice little twist to make them stand out from the pack. My only comment would be that there was insufficient pasta to soak up the lovely bolognese. We closed our meals with cappuccinos with great foam. Overall great dining experience and would love to return.

    It was our first time there, and both the food and service were exceptional, it was as good as everything says. It was just our server’s (Kennadi) second day on the job, but you certainly couldn’t tell. MIDA, he’s a keeper! We had the antipasto, bronzino, bucatini, and polenta, and they were all great. We’ll certainly be back!

    We were there to learn more about the restaurant for a project and had. A great experience. The server and bartender were helpful and knowledgeable and the hosts were organized and smiling. There is a Monday night pasta special with salad and several pastas to be split by two people. It was delicious and more than enough for two hungry people. The restaurant was crowded and loud, but not overwhelming. It felt like a busy, happy bistro.

    Food was fabulous as usual. Service was less than extraordinary. My wife ordered the secret garden cocktail. It turned out to have an overpowering amount of lemon in it. When my wife questioned this, the server assured her that it contained lemon. However the beverage menu does not indicate that. This is a case where the server should say "I'm sorry that you did not like your drink. May I get you something else?" and not charge us for the original drink, which appears to have been a mistake. The server did no such thing.

    Went for dinner with a friend. Our server was definitely having an off night. Asked her to tell us about the wines by the glass, she asked what we liked and then didn’t seem to know what to suggest. She didn’t tell us the specials until after we asked for specials. She didn’t check on us for ages after we got our food even though the table next of us completed their entire meal during that time. We had to flag down a different server to ask for boxes and ask for dessert menu. It really soured the meal. Food was also underwhelming unfortunately… duck wings were good though I thought a little dry. Tomato pesto is not pesto and should not be called such. Eggplant parm was good but I wish it came with a small side of spaghetti for the sauce. Tiramisu is a “concept” piece that was a miss for me. The lady fingers didn’t soak up the espresso poured over top, so it was dry sponge with cream. We were hoping for a reliably solid meal and service experience and we were disappointed overall.

    Great food as expected, was looking forward to it all week. I saw photos prior to my experience and they were mouth-watering. Once trying it, it all certainly lived up to expectations! People tend to go for the food, but the service was stellar! They had a few individuals assisting us, but it remained consistent, they had great wine pairings to suggest and were knowledgeable with so, and food recommendations were up to par. You can’t go wrong here, we will be back soon!

    I’m a chef with 11 years in the kitchen industry. My experience with the food was not impressed. The salads didn’t have no flavor in my own word didn’t have no salad dressing. The fruits in the salad was right sweet but empty nothing special. The oyster was really good I can’t say nothing about it. I try some of the drinks and I can say amazing. The main entree was really good. I did try the beef. Thank you. My valentines experience was 5/10
