About this restaurant

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.

    We have eaten at Mia’s before, so took two friends there for a business lunch. The food was good. Our server was awful. We had to ask for more of water, coffee, etc. He never came back to check on us. The noise level in there has gotten to be bad. Don’t go there if you want to discuss something important because you won’t be able to hear.

    We were made to wait for our table for 15 minutes for our 1:45 pm reservation. We chose to familiarize our guests with the menu during that time as they were new and celebrating their recent wedding. I’ve never had to wait that long for a reservation before. We then had to rein quire about our table at 2 pm to which we were told they could try to see if the manager could talk to them. Again I was disappointed we had to approach them and the hostesses didn’t seem at all concerned about the delay. Our guests were a bit put off as they work in the military and timing is important to them. After being seating our waiter, Donny, treated us not smiling and giving us a bit of a sharp version of rules to be aware of during the brunch. We’ve never been spoken to this way before when we had the brunch. He seemed less enthused to learn of what was being celebrated and within 22 minutes of being seated, with 1 round ordered but no food out yet, he told us the kitchen would be done serving the brunch food at 3 pm. I was REALLY taken back as normally you have 90 minutes to 2 hrs to be at the table and since we were seated late that would be a minimum of 3:30 pm. I did question him on that and he did backpedal a bit and say he could always check with the kitchen. He never asked us about drink refills. And before the end of the meal I did express my concerns to the manager who was very nice and agreed that never should have been stated. So, I would request not to have Donny in the future but the good news is even his unpleasantries couldn’t spoil the divine good of Mia’s.

    It's one of our favorite Italian restaurants! Continues to deliver amazing food. We started with pane al formation, a nice Italian sangria, jumbo shrimp fra diavolo, and Donna's Sunday gravy. To close .. cannoli and their tortino chocolate yum! This time, we did not have their meatballs as appetizer. But highly recommend!
