We had a phenomenal meal at Mia’s during the Christmas season. Kicked it off with the giant meatball, which my kids said was the “BEST EVER” (I’ll stop crying next year), and followed it with a great round of entrees including the branzino, chicken piccata and kids meals. Cocktails and dessert were also delicious. Staff were attentive, warm and prompt. Great spot with great decor for your night out in Old Town. Will be back!

We thoroughly enjoyed Mia's. The food was great...and plentiful. Its definitely on the noisier side, so I might not recommend this for a quiet dinner for two. Otherwise, its a great upbeat place to enjoy a fun dinner.

Got a weird high top table in the bar area - would be fine for one person to eat at but not two. Plus, you have all of the patrons in the bar area fighting for spots/bumping into you. Drinks were very good. Minestrone had something spicy in it (we couldn't figure out what it was), so despite the recommendation was only OK. Caesar salad was excellent. Pasta was very enjoyable. Very lively in the restaurant and clearly a popular place.

Thanks for visiting us. We're glad to hear that you enjoyed our drinks, minestrone, Caesar salad, and pasta. We apologize for the inconvenience caused by the table arrangement and the crowded bar area. We appreciate your feedback and will certainly take it into consideration to improve our future guests' experiences. We hope to see you again soon at Mia's Italian Kitchen.
