    The ambience of Mia's was really cozy and polished. We did ask to be reseated as we were originally sat right behind the host stand, which we were transferred by a different host after some shuffling to the back, which was much quieter The tables are very close together which was awkward, but I looked over it. My server was Brendan, and he was knowledgeable about the menu and very kind. It did look like he was juggling a lot of tables on his own, as he was constantly running back to the kitchen to take things to the kitchen. There were obviously no bussers, which is dumb leading to NYE, and there were at last 3 hosts. My one peeve about the food was our starter was the brushcetta, which was tasty but weirdly plated. It's partially cut with the the brushchetta filling sprinkled in the slices, which looks aestheticallly pleasing but was so awkward to cut amongst 3 people. I don't like having to touch others' food. I had the chicken piccata which was great. There's no black pepper on the table, but Brendan was really busy serving to offer black pepper and cheese. I had a cappuccino with my tiramisu, which was well-made, and Brendan offered dessert after our plates were cleared, which was proper. Overall I would try it again there.

    This was our second visit to Mia’s for the amazing Sunday brunch. My husband, adult daughter and I enjoyed the delicious fresh food and the excellent wait service even more today than the first time. This is a perfect restaurant if one family member loves pasta and seafood and another is a vegetarian. I enjoyed it all! And you will, too! Very good value also,

    Not thrilled this round. Been to Mia’s many times for dinner, brunch and after hours. This visit was lackluster with luke warm dishes and our drinks didn’t come until well after food service. We had to remind the service team that we’d placed orders for drinks and still didn’t get them until after food arrived.
    Mia's Italian KitchenResponded 3 days ago
    Thanks for the feedback, Brittany. We're sorry to hear that your recent visit to Mia's Italian Kitchen didn't meet your expectations. We strive to provide delicious food and prompt service, and we regret that we fell short this time. Your comments about the food temperature and delay in receiving your drinks are important to us and we'll work on improving these aspects. We hope to have the opportunity to serve you better in the future. I will speak to the server that waited on you when I come in tomorrow this is not acceptable. Best Regards, Mia's Italian Kitchen Management Team

    We enjoyed a wonderful dinner at Mia’s! The service was prompt and everything arrived in a timely manner. The staff demonstrated exceptional attention to detail and were considerate throughout our visit. When one of our entrees was lacking in pasta, they promptly addressed the issue by providing additional pasta on the side to complement the protein. Overall, it was a delightful experience, and the interior ambience was truly lovely. Shoutout to our lovely waitress, Brittney! She was awesome!!

    This was our first experience at Mia's. The food, service and atmosphere were all great! The $49 Christmas dinner option was excellent. I had the shrimp bruschetta, lobster ravioli and cranberry cheesecake. All were very tasty. My plates were wiped clean :) Brittney, our server, was wonderful and attentive. We will be back again for sure.

    The food was excellent, flavorful and nice portions. The service was initially slow (took a while for the server to take our drink orders and then deliver them) but did get better. Otherwise it would have been a 5 star meal
