Mia's Italian Kitchen Reviews

Delicious food for the whole family. Family style dining. The waiter was so accommodating. The kids and adults loved it all, especially the giant meatball, polenta, and chicken piccata. We'll return

Great restaurant for Italian food. I had the Lasagna Bolognese and it was a large portion and was very delicious. Our server Chalice was friendly and helpful with the menu. Make sure to get a reservation to avoid long wait times.

We came here the first time with our family of 10 3 years ago and thought it was so good at this time my husband and I came back just the two of us. We sat in the bar area and it was delicious the two waiters were excellent and kept our drinks filled and our food was wonderful.

We visited Mia's for New Years Eve this year, and I think it was the most fun NYE we ever had! The server was soo lovely and patient with us, she didn't rush us at all. The food was great, the drinks were fantastic, it's not over priced at all, and it is beeeautiful inside. We would 100000000% recommend it.

This was my first time to this Italian themed restaurant which was much larger than I expected. There is limited curb appeal, however once you enter the restaurant your eyes are treated to a lot of everything. There is a larger bar area on the right and the pizza oven with flames right in front of you. The main dining room is to the left. The ceilings are high and a variety of over-sized paintings and drapes captivates the senses. There are “yuge” paintings which make up the ceiling … these were 8 feet by 8 feet or larger framed paintings! The drapes appeared to cascade 28 to 32 feet from the ceiling. They offer an ala cart or an all you can eat family style menu. If you opt for the family style, everyone shares whatever is ordered. The good news is that there are no restrictions on what you can order off the menu. Note, the family style menu had less options than the full ala cart menu but you will find there are more than a sufficient number of choices. Our choices from the $35/pp all you can eat menu included: - PANE AL FORMAGGIO - rustic semolina loaf, roasted garlic butter, rosemary, thyme, mozzarella - GIANT MEATBALL - 18 oz. house-made all-beef meatball, marinara, fresh mozzarella, grated parmigiano, rustic garlic toast - CAESAR salad - chopped romaine, creamy garlic dressing, grated parmigiano, focaccia croutons - VIKTORIA’S SPAGHETTI POMODORO - San Marzano tomatoes, basil, grated parmigiano - CHICKEN PARMIGIANA - crispy breaded chicken breast, rigatoni pomodoro with calabrese chiles, mozzarella - EGGPLANT PARMIGIANA - crispy breaded eggplant, San Marzano marinara, mozzarella - CHICKEN PICCATA - lemon-caper sauce, garlic broccolini, creamy parmigiano polenta - NONNA’S (pizza) - mozzarella, hand crushed San Marzano tomatoes, garlic, red pepper flakes, oregano - BUCATINI CACIO E PEPE - creamed pecorino Romano, black pepper, sea salt - GARLIC BROCCOLINI - CANNOLI - sweet amaretto-candied orange peel-ricotta filling, chocolate chips, whipped cream - OLIVE OIL CAKE - slow roasted strawberries, mascarpone frosting, macerated seasonal fruit We also had, from the KID’S Menu ($7), CHICKEN STRIPS, house made chips, beverage, and scoop of vanilla ice cream. What I Liked: - The rustic semolina loaf was very good because of the toppings and not the bread itself. Also, it was improved by dipping it into the meatball marinara - The size of the giant meatball. You need to get it because it is unique however it was average tasting which usually is a good thing when they are not homemade. - The Caesar salad was the best item I ate. The romaine lettuce was crisp and cold, and the dressing flavorful without being too much of anything, accented by a hint of fresh lemon. - The Nonna’s pizza sauce and cheese worked well together - The chicken parmigiana was just north of average. The boneless chicken breast was tender. - The chicken piccata was the second-best dish of the night. The boneless chicken breast was tender and had great flavor. - The eggplant was tender and not over breaded - The garlic broccolini was firm yet tender where it counts around the florets - The small cannoli filing was average tasting with shells that were crisp - The toppings on the cake were the best part What I Did Not Like: - The music was much too loud - There was way too much black pepper in the meatball. I like black pepper and for me it was over the top. Mama Mia, that was a spicy meatball! - The rustic garlic toast served with the meatball was not very good. - They forgot to serve us the zucchini fries - The Nonna’s pizza was only a 4” square, so it was mostly crust - The Viktoria’s Spaghetti Pomodoro’s sauce was too tart and very salty. Also, they served bucatini pasta instead of spaghetti, as advertised. - The eggplant coating had some sections with a pan-fried burn on the coating - They did not provide any pasta with the chicken parmigiana or the eggplant parmigiana - marinara, rigatoni pomodoro with calabrese chiles, mozzarella - The Kids meal fries were over the top salty - The cake portion of the olive oil cake was dry - Our server seemed to have forgotten us when it came time for the bill both giving it to us and then picking it up - They use a hand-held device for running your credit card so, the server stands there while you make the transaction for the tip. Not a fan of it. My Italian Scallion culinary rating was 7.1/10 cloves of garlic. Note, the overall restaurant score benefitted from the $35 price point (Quantity and Value) for appetizers, entrees and dessert, and all you can eat. We told our waitress about the over use of pepper and salt by the kitchen. She said a significant number of patrons have complained and would let the kitchen staff know about our comments.

We enjoyed our lunch very much. Their individual pizzas were just the right size and their sandwiches were good for our granddaughter and her friends.

Hunting and pepper good but “industrial” Bolognese... Nice atmosphere and great Service. It seemed like a good value for money... although for being Italian there is still a bit of work to do...

Big portions. Food was ok- covered in red sauce. Drinks were good though. Giant meatball like meatloaf. Server attentive and accommodating.

Decided to try this place last minute and booked a reservation and glad we did! Place got super busy and rightfully so as the food was all prepared fresh and very good we had multiple brick oven pizzas that were all delicious!

We went at 4 pm on a Saturday and the restaurant was less than one third full. Our server was very nice but the food service was incredible slow. We were seated for 45 minutes before our appetizers came out , and another 20 minutes after we ate that before our entrees came out. The Branzino was delicious but the slow service would prevent me from going again. I was not impressed with the appetizers .

Great food and fresh pasta. The appetizers were great with giant meatball and zucchini fries the best. The Chicken picata and vegetarian lasagna were incredible. The decor is simple but tasteful and service very good. a great recommendation from Joe at the Castle Hotel.

Read the great reviews! Worth a try! Walking into this restaurant was IG worthy. Gorgeous decor. **for people with bad eye sight/elderly, it is extremely dark** Walked up to the hostess stand, was greeted promptly by four hostess. Asked if we have reservations. No. It seems to take a few minutes of discussion between four ladies on what to do. We were told the only place available was outside. Okay. . . we were escorted through this gorgeous EMPTY dining room, not a single soul. To be seated outside. We couldn't believe it. Fabine was our server, he was great! Food = kids ordered, pepperoni pizza and butter parmesan pasta, $7 each. The kids include a drink, entree, and a scoop of vanilla ice cream. The kids gave it A+++!!! Adults = Victoria's Spaghetti Pomodoro (regular spaghetti), $17. Very good. Fettuccine Ai Funghi (noodles with a light cream sauce with mushrooms), $19. Extremely tasty, and salty. Mia's Italian grinder (Italian sub, spicy!), side salad was amazing!, $15.50. Dessert = tiramisu, small serving, delicious, $7. Limon cello tiramisu, amazing and larger serving then the regular tiramisu, $7. Olive oil cake, 3 petite cut out cakes served with fruit compote on top, cake was extremely dry, and spongy. Not what we were expecting from an olive oil cake, $7. Party of three adults and two kids = $110 with tip. Not too sure if this is what other people are saying affordable, thought it was a bit on the higher end. As we were sitting the place did started to get full. We couldn't help but notice, people with small children were directed to sit outside, as adult parties were seated inside. Protocol? Not too sure. Mia's is a chain restaurant, one of its sister restaurants is located next door, Vito's. Overall, good food. Gorgeous decor inside. Outside patio is just a brick building. Worth a try.

Very busy Friday night in Orlando. Didn’t have any reservations and wait times were 60-75 minutes everywhere. We put our name in to a crowded, loud, music filled restaurant and we’re waiting…when we spotted Mia’s. A very nice, quiet spot. We waited for a short time, got seated outside (with comfortable space between tables). Our waiter was fabulous and my GF friend was taken good care of for all her multiple food choices. All our meals were delicious…very filling large portions. The ONLY thing missing was some good Italian garlic bread (or even just regular Italian bread)…to accompany the meal and for sopping up the delicious sauces.

My wife and I went to Mia's Italian kitchen this last Wednesday for happy hour. The happy hour items were an excellent price, and we're very very tasty. Crystal or bartender had a lot of energy and personality, and helped us with our food and drink orders by giving suggestions and reviews from other people.

Great authenic place, real italian , very tasty. Pizza a but small but wow , the quality is amazing. Everything fresh and good. Deserts were much less good though. Cappuccino aamzing.

Decent food. Service was quite slow. Was told food was “from scratch”. If that’s the case, it did not seem like high quality ingredients.

Went to ia's as part of Bite 30 promotion, Service was excellent,There were 4 of us in our party, Main course was a lot to be desired eggplant parm was a thick mass and rigatonni was hard, 3 of us had the Shrimp Fra Diablo Shrimp were large and plentiful the pasta though wasfor the most part a gluttonist mass but sauce wa good as was the dessert Cannolis and bread pudding.We all agreed that if we went back it would be to socialize over some wine with appetizers at the bar or lounge area.

Food was awful, nothing about it was Italian. Loud, pretentious, overpriced & asking for employees benefit fee???? I’ll stick with the Olive Garden from now on, delicious food, free starter & bread and A LOT cheaper.

We walked into the restaurant, not knowing its popularity. With no reservations, we opted to sit outside on the patio. Mia's has a large following, and reservations are recommended. In addition, they offer Happy Hour at the bar only with their own menu. There is a family style menu and an ala cart menu. The family menu starts at $39.00 per person. We chose pan pizzas from the ala cart menu. Excellent service. Military Discounts applied.

Yesterday was so disappointing. Usually on Saturdays my son and I find a local place to go and eat together. I have two children and I spend Saturdays with my grown child I see the least. Yesterday we picked Mia's. It was popping. I know there were half a dozen people there in our section alone. We got there at 2:30. My reservation wasn't until 2:45. It was awesome to be sat early. Then, that's literally where service turned horribly wrong. Our waiter came over, eventually, and asked have you ever been here. Nope, no idea how this place works. He said that it was bottomless but since we got there at 2:45 (wrong) that we should order 5 things and then he would come back and we could order 5 more the kitchen closed for breakfast at 3. My son, super excited to try this place, did just that. The waffles with pepperoni were delivered. The delivery guy with a cut through his eyebrow is literally the best employee they have, that I watched. I had A LOT of time to observe the staff. However, it was delivered, before our drinks. BEFORE OUR SILVERWARE. So, here we sat, eating sticky waffles with our hands since it was getting cold and our waiter wasn't coming back. Next, we got delivered our next round of food. Still no forks. Still no drinks. Even though we witnessed several tables getting their bottomless alcohol. Just because we had soda instead, didn't mean we weren't paying for the same service. Finally, our waiter comes back. I tell him it's embarrassing to eat like heathens and we needed silverware and our drinks. He finally goes and gets some. The delivery guy is out and asking if the waiter ever delivered our drinks before we ever get them. A TON of food is delivered to our table a few minutes later. Again, waiter had told us to order like people who had never eaten before in their lives. So, we did. My son goes to order the next round...as instructed when we first got there. Waiter says, you know SOME things you can still order off the lunch menu that are on the breakfast menu, only the specific breakfast items are not available anymore. No, we did not know this. We told you we had never been here before! So my son orders desert and we will look later for other items. In the next few moments, I literally watch a waitress with dark hair and a pink shirt walk out with my sons banana french toast and offer it to the table in front of us. The table says that's not theirs. She says, are you sure you don't want it? How are you going to deliver the wrong food to the wrong table and offer it to them? Then try to force it on them? How is this even a policy this place has??? Then, I watch her turn around with the plate and our waiter come out and they exchange it and he brings it to my son! I just witnessed this. In all the time I've ever eaten at a restaurant I've NEVER experienced anything like it. We ate quickly, unpaced, in a chaotic mess. The experience is half the price I'd like to think. At least that's what they advertise! Because we were forced to eat like this I felt like I was wasting food. *I* even apologized to the waiter when I made him take some leftovers back and said I felt like I was wasting food. His reassuring comment was, "Yeah, it is a waste." Are you serious right now?????? Finally, we are sick at this point. Our watered down drinks that JUST got refilled prior to the check coming out are delivered, it's time to go. Our check is brought to us and then ONCE AGAIN our waiter disappears. 10 minutes pass, the brunch crowd has SIGNIFICANTLY thinned and he's no where to be found. Let's not talk about the "Employee Benefit" being charged on the bill - that is not inclusive of tip at all. It's not remotely something that mentioned ANYWHERE. So we take our check up front and our waiter runs around like we are in the wrong. No, we are ready to leave this messy crap show we've just sat through. I write all of this in a message because...we aren't local. I get it. Location is in tourist heaven. However, we are local and would have added this to our revolving Saturday mixture if it wasn't for what they made us sit through and experience. They should be ashamed that staff is passing out food that's not theirs, not checking on tables, forgetting them in general, saying snide remarks, it's just not okay.

I had dinner here and it was not bad at all. The margherita pizza was okay just a little salty. The ambience was good and I will try another restaurant next time I am in town.

Great Atmosphere, Great Service. Coming from NY the food was average nothing really to complain about but nothing to get excited about. My biggest issue was getting the bill and seeing that they charged me a “Employee Benefit Fee” So now you want me to pay for your employee’s benefits??? No not happening, not anymore.

The atmosphere here was great. On business,I sat in the lounge area, ordered a cocktail and got the Fettuccine Al Funghi based on Chrystal’s , (the bartender) recommendation. Was easily the best Fettuccine I have ever had. Definitely coming back here to try some other entrees.

Wonderful homemade pasta and prompt service despite a large private event occurring. We enjoyed Rigatone Alla Bolognese and Jumbo Shrimp Fra Diavolo. Plenty of food!

Loved the Family Style Option. The music was extra loud on top of everyone talking in the restaurant was too much. Couldn’t hear my husband talk and had to keep repeating ourselves.

Great food and service. I believe Zoe was our server and she was fantastic! The menu has lots of options including great gluten free ones. Although we did not partake, I loved the idea of the family meal. We had the garlic bread, lasagne, gluten free pasta and pizza. Everything was very good. I would return! Super close to I-drive. Kids needed two orders of the pizza as they are on the smaller size (priced accordingly)

What and why is an “Employee Benefits Surcharge” added onto the bill at checkout, rather than being part of the business overhead which is already rolled into the pricing structure? Aside from that, the atmosphere was damaged by the “background” music (not Italian music !!) which was so loud that folks had to yell to be heard, making the whole lace pretty loud.…. However, the pizzas were really good, with lots of cheese and toppings. Yasenia (our server) had a wonderful sense of humor and did a wonderful job. Thank you !!

This has some of the best Italian cuisine we have tried in Orlando! Our server Crystal was super warm and welcoming. She made sure we were well fed :) Highly recommend the food and the service for a great time.

We had the unlimited brunch since it was our first time here and it allowed us to try different things. There were four of us in our party. We had a reservation and were seated right away. Service started out great and declined as the meal went on. At one point they even brought items we didn't order and were not happy when we didn't want them as they said we ordered them (which we didn't). I was looking forward to the banana french toast but it was mediocre at best. We tried several of the pastas and were not a fan of any. Our favorite items were the meatball which is giant and easily shareable for 4 people and the apple donuts which we ordered 4 times. We tried additional dishes but none were memorable. We had more food than we could eat. One individual in our party had the bottomless mimosas which he thought were good. Overall we all agreed there are better Italian restaurants in the area.

The pizza here, of course, is not Italian, but the real American one, both in form and content. The food, despite the traditional for America excess of salt in everything, was quite tasty. There was no bread basket, which is usually present in Italy. Therefore 4 stars.

Fresh food. Family size menu, Best deal. Garlic bread, Best Ive ever had. Little Italy NYC, Lookout. Love the Setting..

Went to Mia's on our Anniversary for the first time. We went for dinner but arrived during the brunch hours. Our server Desiree asked the Chef it he would be willing to serve us some of the items in the dinner menu. The Chef was kind enough to agree. But, we decided to eat off the brunch menu instead. The food was awesome. Fresh hot and delicious. Desiree made the meal special for us with her personal touch on the blueberry lemon tiramisu wishing us a happy 34th anniversary. The food was so good we forgot to take pictures. I will make sure we take pictures the next time. Ask or Desiree if you want to make your visit special. Thanks to her and the good food we will be back real soon.

The restaurant had a great vibe, nice music playing in the background. We chose the all you can eat option for $40/pp and we could choose any menu options. We enjoyed the big meatball and cheese bread for an appetizers followed by a cesar salad, pasta , flavored green beans,and ended the night with a olive cake and canoli. wished we could have eaten more, we were dying to try the pizza & chicken parm. I would definitely go again. Wish they were in New England.

All the pasta was fresh and obviously home made. The Zucchini Fries with lemon aioli were awesome as an appetizer. The Shrimp Fra Diavolo and Chicken Cacciatore were a real hit as was the salad. The service was good and location convenient to hotel.

Found Mia’s on Yelp. Have to say my Lasagna was really good and my son’s Rigatoni was also very good. The wait for a table was 45 mins so we squeezed onto the Bar. The Bartender, Crystal was swamped but still served us with a smile. Her bar back, Dali was excellent! Dali made sure all of our needs were met. They make a great team. I highly recommend sitting at the bar at Mia’s if Crystal & Dali are working.

Hands down, best eggplant parmesan sandwich I've ever had. Fantastic service, dog-friendly patio and even their own menu, and all reasonably priced to boot. Only complaint was music was WAY too loud--we couldn't hear each other without literally yelling.

Original review was not favorable, however the manager has resolved! Anybody can make mistakes, NOT everyone admits and make amends. Mia’s did & Congratultions to them!, Thank you

I always have a great experience at Mia's, especially for their happy hour. The food is delicious and freshly made, pizza is mouth watering and the drinks are SUPERB. Crystal is one of the best bartenders in Orlando and she always has a smile on her face and a great sense of humor. Go there for happy hour - you won't regret it and you will be back time and time again!!

My husband and I decided to give Mia’s a try after seeing great ratings. It absolutely did not disappoint! Crystal was our server - she was quite busy, but did an amazing job taking care of us. She had wonderful suggestions and an infectious personality. The drinks, main dish and desserts were all delicious. We left so full and very happy. It was added to my save list for when we are back in Orlando!

While I am not a fan, if you like Olive Garden, you will probably enjoy this place but at a heftier price. Unfortunately, my meal was at best so-so. The "green" salad had no greens, unless you consider iceberg lettuce green. The pasta was al dente, which was fine, but the meat sauce was lacking in flavor. And finally. the wine on their list was not available (no longer carrying it). There was one bright spot: the young lady taking care of me; she did a wonderful job.

This was the second time I ordered by delivery because I thought although the food was over salted I figured let’s give another try. I ordered a whole pizza margarita for $28. The picture shows the entire pizza box as the size of the pizza. I got a portion of that. I come from New York City and do not pay that. Are they serious? Not as advertised and misleading.

I suggested this establishment to my family who was visiting from out of state, so we all went for what we thought would be an authentic Italian dinner. First impression...lovely paintings, cool brick oven, but WAY TO DARK! To read the menu and see our food we had to pull out our flashlights on our phones (even asked for an extra candle). I ordered the Alfunghi Pasta added shrimp. Dish was cold upon arrival and bland. With salt, pepper and tons of parmesan it woke up a bit. Highly disappointed as I heard they own CafeTuTu Tango as well, which I went there for Mother's Day and had a GREAT meal! Only highlight was our waiter who was very nice, attentive, amazing customer service skills and served us with a beaufitul smile the entire time!

We have a great dinner an a wonderful time. We arrive late, without reservation, with a group of 11, with three kids, for my wife's birthday celebration. The Hostess was very charming and in a few minutes they managed to have a big table ready with kids menu and crayons. Outstanding service, delicius food, nice music, and cozy atmosphere in a very pretty place. It was a great birthday celebration. Super appeling and tasty italian restaurant with a very reasonable price.

We walked in on a Sunday evening as a family of 4. They were packed but had bar seats with full service which we opted for. Crystal & Josh at the bar were so attentive and wonderful. The food was great - amazing pastas and drinks were amazing. Highly recommend if you’re in the area, and special thanks to Crystal and Josh for making it such a lovely experience

One of the worst places you could ever go to when it comes to someone supporting the fact that you actually like sports and want to root on your team. Had a royal Karen get mad at me for rooting on my team and to make it worse, the general manager (Omar) came over and told me that I couldn't clap for my team and he would change the channel (as it was the end of the game). I was promptly escorted out by Omor for rooting on the team and will never go here again!

Beautiful restaurant with friendly servers and fantastic food. We shared a pizza and the sea bass with broccolini and puttanesca sauce. Our server Brian was extremely pleasant. Even better, the manager stopped to speak to us about our meals and why we were in Orlando. Highly recommend

This restaurant advertises Italian but misses the mark. You do not serve a pasta dish with nothing else. Not even a slice of bread? Salad comes with their sandwiches which were quite good but not with a $22 small serving of pasta which by the way was excellent? Also, what reputable Italian restaurant doesn’t offer grated cheese for your pasta? This one doesn’t. The inside is decorated to give it a classy look which works, but then they have Motown music blasting so loud you can barely hear the people at your table. I would recommend this place for lunch but would not go with the pasta dishes. There are far too many other restaurants in the area to try especially if a fair value is important to you.

My wife and I visited on a Saturday evening with another couple. The atmosphere is lovely and elegantly decorated. Service was good considering it was a busy night. The place was packed. I can’t wait to go back. The food was delicious, served hot from the kitchen. We (a party of 4) ordered the from the “family menu” offering several choices for the table. We were extremely satisfied. Drinks are pricey. Deserts are authentic. GO HERE.

We did not have the best experience! I ordered spaghetti with what was supposed to be marinara like our server said but it definitely was not. The food was not good! Definitely not what we expected. Our server was not really attentive but she was the only one serving tables. The hostess was just playing on his phone when we walked in and only truly attempted at bringing plates!

Very good Italian dishes, from meat, to seafood to delicious cannoli for dessert. Generous family-style portions. Nice atmosphere.

Great food and service. We had the Zucchini, Fries, Fra Diavol, Branzino and Sunday Gravy for meals and Giant Meatball for an appetizer. All were excellent as were drinks. The servers were great and Katie the manager took the time to talk with us. This is a hidden gem on International drive.

Unfortunately for us the food did not live up to expectations. I had pasta with meat sauce and there was no meat, it was just a tomato sauce. The pizzas are only pizza slices. Very very expensive and not really worth the money.

Very nice place, kind staff and excellent wines. As Italian I wanted to try, I always know something will be different 😊. The Burrata was delicious, perfect texture and taste, real deal. The Bucatini cacio e pepe, ouch... the original recipe is called cacio (cheese) and pepe (pepper). The pasta was nice, al dente, but the creamy besciamelle isn't right, in Italy the dish is served only with a touch of black pepper and grated pecorino. No cream. To be very sincere, many will find it yummy, but to me tasted like Mac & Cheese, with way too much pepper. Will send a picture from Rome to Mia's, just so you can compare. Thank you for all. P.S. Italian restaurants don't have sangria, a must would be bruschetta, as bread I got wheat toast. I asked a second glass of wine, I left without, the guy forgot. Service is a tiny bit slow, the place is big, but was empty. Hope it's taken as constructive feedback.

I visited Mia’s Italian Kitchen with just my mom, and we were both pleasantly surprised by how incredible everything was—especially for an I-Drive restaurant, where it’s easy to fall into tourist trap territory. The inside is beautifully decorated with a spacious, open floor plan that feels upscale but still welcoming. The music was a bit loud at times, but that was truly the only minor issue with the atmosphere. We started with the burrata and the carpaccio, and both appetizers were phenomenal—fresh, flavorful, and perfectly plated. For our mains, I had the spaghetti pomodoro, and my mom ordered the bolognese. Both pastas were clearly homemade and absolutely delicious. The flavors were rich and authentic—something you don’t often find in a tourist-heavy area. Mia’s is definitely an overlooked gem, and I’d highly recommend it to anyone looking for quality Italian food in Orlando. We’ll definitely be back!!!!!

Chaos ..First Italian restaurant I have been to where no bread is offered .. none. Carbonara very tastes with awful ham .. meatball pasta, errr, where’s the meatballs. Complimentary water was, smelly! We left most of what we ordered and left. These people do not have have a clue as far as Italian food is concerned .. and we should know.

We were in Orlando for a week going to Disney and Universal for our grandkids and our children. And it was our daughters birthday and she wanted Italian so we ended up at Mia's Italian Kitchen. Kind of late at night after a day full of Universal so it was probably 7:30/ 8:00 p.m. on October 3rd 2023. And our family thoroughly enjoyed the food, the company and the service. We had more than one person helping us but Carlito was the main and they were just fabulous. Our food was plentiful and excellent. The next time we're in town we hope to go again.

First time to this restaurant and I was pleasantly surprised. It is in an area that has lots of restaurants and things to do, so it's busy. It is best to make a reservation otherwise you can be looking at an hour wait at least (Friday night). We had no reservations so sat at the bar (full service) and it was great. The service by one of the bartenders was very good, she was attentive and had great knowledge of the menu. The pizza's are small so an adult (male) needs to eat 2. It's ok because the price is fair so having 2 pizzas you end up paying the price of 1 and you can try a couple of different toppings. The ambiance is great, there is a great vibe inside the restaurant, it feels vibrant. I'll definitely go back there and recommend anyone to try it out, it's worth it.

Two of my friends and myself decided to give this restaurant a try after hearing so many good things about this location. All three of us were blown away by the ambiance, the food and the service! The staff is exceptional, from the hostess desk to the servers and all the way up to management. Everyone seems to be enjoying themselves at this Mia's on International Drive! If you are a tourist in town, I highly recommend this restaurant for authentic, in-house made Italian food and pasta. OK, now prepare yourself for a long review as this place is truly worthy!! I made a reservation, and we greeted warmly by the hostesses as well as one of the Managers, Brian. As I was waiting for my friends, I asked if I could walk around to take pictures and was enthusiastically encouraged to do so by Brian. There is beautiful artwork everywhere-even on the ceilings! Benches and chairs are available for seating in the restaurant area and the bar is really cozy and comfortable. Now, onto the food and drinks. I chose The Wallop (vodka, prosecco, tarragon-honey syrup) to start off. It was a little too sweet for me, so I switched to The Investor Red Blend for my meal (better choice). The Bite30 menu consists of a salad of choice, 5 items of your choosing served family style and dessert included. We chose the Italian Cobb salad (amazingly flavorful and loaded with various salad blends, marinated beans, olives, gorgonzola, tomatoes and croutons with a buttermilk-oregano dressing!) We all loved it! We then ordered the Giant Meatball (and it is! - an 18oz in-house beef meatball stuffed with mozzarella cheese). There was more than enough to share among the three of us. We followed it up with the Diavola pizza. Although it means "devil's pizza" in Italian, it is heavenly spicy with a mixture of sopressata (hot Italian salami) with calabrese peppers and calabrese honey. It is "hot" in a very good way! We also tried the Mussels Alla Birra, served in a red sauce with homemade Italian sausage and garlic toast. I was not a big fan, although I did enjoy the sausage. I'm more a butter and garlic sauce guy for my mussel experience. We ended our meal adventure with Braciole Di Manzo (braised flank steak with garlic broccolini and a creamy parmigiano polenta sauce on the side) and the Rigatoni Al Funghi pasta (roasted mushrooms, mixed herbs with pasta made in-house). The steak fell apart effortlessly, and the flavor was truly magical. You could also tell the freshness of the in-house pasta and that it was made from scratch that day in their kitchen. Finally, the desserts were the cherry on top of a great Italian cuisine encounter. The Tiramisu and the Cannoli were some of the freshest and mouth-watering items I've tasted in a long time. I definitely will be back - and I'll bring more friends! My final kudos must go to our server, Kyle. He was so patient with us as we asked a lot of questions. He provided his favorites for our consideration (and he was on the mark for each one!) He also has that wonderful trait of being a conscientious observer of our table, bringing extra water when needed, clearing away finished plates and knowing when to meet our every need. Impeccable server! We asked for a manager to come to our table and this time we got Anthony. He listened attentively to our feedback and compliments from the service to the food. What an amazing overall 5-star experience!

Dined here with large family group in town for funeral, the team provided excellent service, suggestions, appetizers and main course it was perfect for our family....so good in fact we called ahead the next night and they repeated their expertise for an even larger group. Thank you for everything for this grieving family.

Delicious, nice atmosphere and great service! The beef carpaccio starter and the home made pasta main dish were both excellent.

We sat at the bar. Crystal was amazing. Not only was she knowledgeable about the menu she was attentive while serving a large party. It’s a must visit while in Orlando. Will not disappoint! Good wine good, good food, amazing service!

We are in town for disney and Universal and needed somewhere to eat lunch . The front desk girl at our condo suggested Mias italian kitchen and mannnnnn are we glad she did ! Upon walking into the restaurant your eyes are in decor heaven ! Beautiful paintings on the walls and ceilings with gorgeous window blinds and chandeliers definitely set a regal mood. We chose to do the all you can eat family style dinner. At $35 it was a great value and we ate until we about popped ! Every single plate was FANTASTIC ! Some of the best Italian food I have ever eaten ! My favorite was the Italian Cobb Salad and the Chicken Piccata! Must haves ! Now let me RAVE about our server, Crystal ! She was so personable, funny, and efficient! She gave great suggestions and kept the mood fun and inviting! She also gave us great conversation and left a lasting impression on our party ! We definitely will be back to Mias Italian Kitchen when we come back to Orlando and will most certainly request Crystal again !!

We decided to try Mia’s based on reviews. We made reservations on line just in case it was busy but it was not too busy when we arrived. The place is roomy and has nice atmosphere but to me felt a little dark. Our waiter was nice and were able to chat with him for a little bit. My daughter had the Rigatoni alla Bolognese and my wife had the Spaghetti alla Carbornara. They both liked the pasta dish. I decided to get the Meatball grinder. Overall I did not like the grinder and not sure what it was but the overall flavor and texture of the meatball just wasn’t for me. I would stick with the pasta dishes. I gave it a 4 stars because of service and famiy liked the pasta.

Wow! What an amazing little hidden gem this is! GO! The food is amazing! Shay our server was fantastic and so knowledgeable about the menu and went above and beyond to make our kids have the nicest time! The zucchini fries were massive and the pizzas are beautiful! Thank you for helping us choose the best meals possible and for your attentiveness throughout the meal!

We had to visit Mia's Italian Kitchen just from all the rave reviews we read on the food. We had reservations for lunch on Saturday and we're promptly seated on our arrival. The inside is eclectic, but in a grand flourish style. Art paintings on the ceilings and walls decorated nicely. Our server was friendly, attentive and always available. Her happy demeanor and conversation was refreshing! We easily opted for the Brunch Specialty. Our first order was the Meatball Benedict, Italian Scramble, and the Breakfast Bruschetta. The Meatball Benedict was set on a nice brioche and the sauce was outstanding. The meatball itself was cooked properly and very tasty. The Italian Scramble was served with 2 large toast points and had superb flavor. The Breakfast Bruschetta was light and flavorful with the sweetness of lemon curd and mascarpone cheese. Next up was the Sunday Gravy (we say sauce) with Baked Eggs, Pepperoni and Cheese Waffle, and the Breakfast Pizza. Not one bad one in the bunch!. All had flavors that intertwined and made for great dishes. Our final foray was to order the pasta. We had the Victoria's Spaghetti Pomodoro and the Fettuccine Al Funghi. The Spaghetti Pomodoro was phenomenal with the perfect sweetness to the sauce and the pasta being bucatini al dente. On the other hand, the Fettuccine Al Funghi was under done and the sauce pretty pasty, just on the verge of gummy. But the taste was good (could of used a little freshly grated cheese or been cooked in a little more salted water). Our dessert was Cannoli and Tiramisu which did not disappoint. They had the same taste as our family makes and the shells were perfect. Our experience was greatly enhanced by the service, the quality of the food and the attentiveness the staff afforded us during our visit. You would not find a better deal for a brunch anywhere else for what you get to choose from and the hefty portions. This will always be a stop for us if we are back in town!

A big surprise from a sister restaurant. We love Cafe Tu Tu Tango and have be going since they started and when Mia’s opened we were excited. We originally went to try the Bite 30 offering. Arrived a bit early to try out their bar. Amazing, great service, and lots of choices. Once we were sat, we were politely steered to the “secret” family style menu. I know it’s not secret, BUT it’s one of the best values of food quantity, quality, and price we have seen in a very long time. Do love the decor and ambience. Very dark, bohemian, Vegas look. The red sangria is one of my top 5 picks for Orlando!!! All the food was perfect, mushroom truffle pizza, need I say more. The desserts were a perfect finishing to a perfect night. And since this night we have been back 3 more times as we introduce, more of our friends to this wonderful restaurant!! Be sure to make a reservation as they are usually busy !!

Cool place, huge portions, hot food, great service, reasonable priced for area. We will return, seems after 2:30pm is the time to come for a nice crowd. Place is loud and busy up till about then.

First time my wife said positive things and started raving about an Italian Restaurant! Usually she adds extra spices and peppers, but she loved the natural flavors in the food, with very minimal to no crushed red pepper. There were a lot of good dishes and vegetarian options. Everything from the appetizers to the main courses had top-notch ingredients, flavoring and presentation. The portion sizes were very manageable too so you can finish a bunch of dishes too. The burrata salad dish was very fresh and we even liked the fresh tomatoes and burrata. The margherita and funghi pizzas were very flavorful and the cheese was good. The Pane al formaggio was perhaps one of the best formaggios/garlic bread items I’ve had. The potato gnocchi alla vodka potentially had the best vodka sauce I’ve ever had, paired with amazing gnocchi. The rigatoni all’s funghi was soft, creamy and the green onions and mushrooms paired well with the flavorful sauce. The roasted mushroom lasagna was very filling, creamy, cheesy, flavorful, and rich.

We came for the bottomless which had been discontinued but was in place when we made the reservation. Server neglected to tell us which menu items were unavailable until we were ordering.(of course we wanted that). Not really busy but not really good service. Manager failed to visit our table ,party of 9, tho we saw him at other tables. Won't be going back.

It was a 5, excellent! Not only great atmosphere but great service and fantastic, delicious food! The server made excellent recommendations and was very personable. We are here from Minnesota and if we come back to Orlando would definitely eat here again!

Been here a few times and each time we have visited we thoroughly enjoyed our food. My kids love the pizza, while we’ve tried 4 different appetizers, gnocchi, eggplant parm sandwich, their braciole is done to perfection which tells us this family owned place knows how to cook. We are very picky on our red sauce aka red gravy and again this place knocks it out of the park. If you haven’t tried this place you are missing out. Food is always more important to us but the ambience is also very nice

So surprised how good Mia's was! We got the $39 family style dinner and it was the best choice. We started with the Sunday salad (was pretty spicy/zesty for us!), so we're ended up adding the Caesar salad. Mussels were delicious but a little spicy. Margherita brick oven pizza was small but perfect size as an appetizer. Cacio e pepe was PHENOMENAL, could've used a little salt. The bucatini was cooked perfect and was very tasty and creamy. Eggplant Parm was ON POINT one of the best I've had, perfect portion for 2 people. Garlic brocolini was amazing, perfectly cooked and seasoned. Dessert was okay, got the cannoli and Olive oil cake, was a little dry. Our server was awesome, very attentive. Can't wait to go back!

Family of 5 vacationing in Orlando selected this place for family Thanksgiving dinner. 630pm reservations, got their a bit early and seated quickly. Ambiance is nice overall but very loud music that resulted in very loud talking for conversation. At least 4 different servers stopped by our table to offer us menus, check if we needed anything, asked if we were ready to order, had any questions re: food selections. They offered a Thanksgiving meal menu (traditional turkey meal), family style dining , and a la carte regular menu. All appeared to be great choices. Put our order in, and now.....we wait.....and wait.....and wait.... 30 minutes later, our meals arrive. We're hungry, and start eating. Server stops by and we tell her our apps never came. She looks confused, as were we since so many servers came to our table you would think one of them would bring our apps. Off she goes to talk to manager. She returns with 2 apps- one was not what we ordered and not even on the menu, and tells us manager will stop by. He arrives and says that they are very busy, ran out of the salad menu item and substituted a different salad choice. None of this was communicated to the customer. He apologized and offered to cover my meal cost. Ok, thanks. In the meantime, 2 servers dropped glasses on the floor, my partner's bloody mary was served without olives and his meal was served with a hair in his veggies. Others in our party said their meals were tasty. So for us, 3 stars at best and will not return.

Great great great!!! Each member of party of four had something different….all meals were exceptional. The pizza was incredible. The veal amazing, pasta just like nonna makes!!!

Every time we visit Orlando we come to Mia's and each time it has been consistent! Good food and excellent service. They have many options but we always opt for the family style dining for $39/person. Children are 1/2 of that price but for what you get it can't be beat. As much pasta, salad, and pizza you want. And the pizzas are actually really good especially the funghi mushroom one and they're the perfect size. Think personal pan pizzas size from Pizza Hut but better. They are always busy which shows how the quality of the food is so I'd highly recommend making a reservation or you'll be waiting a while.

We started with the pain formaggia which was a crusty loaf stuffed with cheese and garlic and served warm. It was delicious! Next we stuck with some of their specialties and ordered the mushroom lasagna, lots of layers of wood roasted mushrooms and cheese. It was so good! We also got their eggplant parm. Crispy thin layers of eggplant served with pasta. This was a hit! The ambiance is beautiful! High ceilings with long hung drapes, painted ceilings, wine bottle chandeliers, and lots of large booths and tables encouraging family dining. They have a full bar and upon entering you see individual pizzas cooked in their open fire oven. Our server, Russel was on point! He swooped in the minute an empty glass was put down and. Eye personable! We have dined at almost every non chain Italian restaurant in this area but this one will be a keeper for sure! Forego the hefty price at La luce and go here for great food, service and atmosphere! Bravo!

After spending $100 on my dinner i decided i wont be back food was average at best plenty of other much better choises in Orlando

We almost walked out because the music at the front door and once you stepped inside was so loud. We are glad we were escorted to a table that was away from the loud music. Think about turning it down, inside and out. We got the $39.00 per person family style meal. AMAZAING! I am picky about Italian food growing up with an Italian family, from Italy, so a bit snotty when it comes to the food. Blown away by the depth of flavour! We had stuffed cheese bread, salads, pizza, Grandma's Gravy, Chicken Piccatta, and the cannoli. BEST Cannoli IN MY LIFE! The staff were very friendly and our server, Fransico, was ON POINT! We WILL be back to try out the Happy Hour specials but sitting away from the loud music.

really lovely meal, food excellent and our server Kyle was fantastic, highly recommend .amazing atmosphere and quality of food.

Not only was the food fantastic but the ppl working were so nice. The bartender washed my baby’s bottle for me, the manager got me hot water for her and was so so kind.

Mussels were so terrific and generous portion. Sophia was terrific and packed up half of my order. Super Tuscan wine went well with the meal

Great food and location especially staying at Castle Hotel next door. Thanks to Joe for recommending it. The giant meatball and zucchini fries were great starters and the the Sunday gravy and Chicken parm were great meals.

We really liked the restaurant, very good food, nice Mood, we asked for a delicious tava bread entry! The dishes are big and we could share. Very attentive waiters and despite the restaurant being full, they quickly met our request

I-Drive glitz but little food substance lead to a below average Italian meal. We started with a Nona’s pizza which was just above average and way too doughy. The salad was weird with a spicy tomato dressing that left a bad aftertaste. The brachiole was underwhelming, overcooked and chewy which was a horrible disappointment and the reason for trying this place out in the middle of tourist land. The place is beautiful, big and VERY LOUD. Do not go for an intimate romantic dinner. As a mater of fact do not go at all. For the price and even for a meal split between two persons it was overpriced for what was received compared to comparable local joints.

Best happy hour on I Drive and Crystal behind the bar was great. She was super attentive with drinks, knowledgable about the menu and very personable. Will be back again, probably as soon as tomorrow!

Sunday October 22nd, 2023. Our group of 15 arrived for a child's birthday party. I ordered bottomless food and bottomless Mimosas. I was one of the 1st to arrive. I was the last to get served. I had to ask my waiter **5 times** the status of my meal. A very nice Lady manager stopped by our table and I informed her that while every other person had already received their meals, and were pretty almost finished, my food had still not arrived. When my waiter walked by our table, I had to put both my hands up like a referee signaling a Touchdown to get his attention. He told me my food was accidentally delivered to the wrong table. Another 10 minutes passed, and I finally received a small pizza, he whispered that he was "Comping" part of my order, but when I looked at my bill, I was still charged for a mimosa and the Bottomless meal. $40 plus tax for two small personal pan pizzas (mostly bread), and 2 mimosas. To be fair, the rest of my party enjoyed their meals. This was my first and last time eating at Mia's. It will be my last. JCD, Retired Local and Federal Law Enforcement Officer

Visiting Orlando for business this week and we wanted Italian for our final dinner before heading home. The atmosphere, food and service were amazing. Special shout-out to our server Maddie for her most excellent service. One off our group members had a severe food allergy and she made sure that none of his allergens were present in his meal. Definitely recommend!

Mia's is a fairly grand setting for a special dinner. It lends a certain theatricality. The food was all competently prepared, but the menu didn't quite live up to my hopes. It's basically a step or two above Olive Garden or Carraba's when it seems like it could have been something much better with some fresh fish entrees or the like. Check out the menu first, and if that appeals to you, then I'll bet the experience will be well worth your while.

They by far have the best food I've ever eaten in a restaurant, we started with the giant meatballs for an appetizer as well as a cheese dip of some sort, had a pizza from their outstanding pizza oven . The entrées were loved by all especially the chicken parm that I ordered and let's not forget the outstanding tiramisu. And the staff was very good and the manager Kelly made us all feel so welcomed. ☆☆☆☆☆

We visited Mia’s back in 2019 and remembered it fondly so when we returned to Florida in 2024 we went back. It was as good as we remembered. We plan to make it Mia’s whenever we visit Fla.

They have a regular al a cart menu, but we decided on the option that allows you to sample many different options from the menu. The cost was $39 per person and everyone at the table has to accept this option. It was worth it. The sampled many options, but some of our favorites were the 18 oz meatball, chicken parmigiana, a couple of the different pizzas, and the clams were delicious. Same room for the desserts as we had the olive oil cakes and cannolis. Spent the money and have a blast. Service was awesome and we had a great time.

Had a great night with good food and a little bit quirky place. Caesar was very good in recommending what was special on the menu and catered to our every need. Prices are very good for the quality and quantity of food so thank you for a great evening.

Thought this would be a good choice for our family of 7 with (2) younger children. Children's dishes were very generous. Ordered family style for the adults which includes dessert. They bring you a lot of food. Allowed us to take some home. Of course, as a New Yorker we didn't think the Italian food was outstanding. We did really enjoy their pizza. For the money, atmosphere, etc., it was a good choice for us on this occasion.

Coming from NJ/NY we are pretty picky about our Italian food …and until tonite I can’t say I have had really good Italian in Florida .. But Mia’s is the exception ! OMG !! Dinner was amazing !! First I am going say , do the family style meal ! You get salad and 5 choices of anything on the menu ( and I mean anything ) plus desert . The portions are huge !! Everything is fresh /homemade .. including the pasta .we had the burrata and charcuterie board .. the cesar salad . Our entree’s were Sunday gravy ( rigatoni , sausage, meatballs & brachiole) chicken parm & Cacio Pepe . Desert was fresh made canoli & limoncello tiramisu . This will definitely be a new go to when in Orlando ! They hit a home run !! And their fall sangria (yum). Plus it was very reasonable price wise .. our waitress Zoe was the best !! A credit to the place !! I have only one negative .., that they don’t have a location in NJ !!!

Had dinner here with friends; was our first visit. Had to wait a while even with a reservation. We were all put off by having to use the flashlight on our phones to read the menu--this place is dark! The server was attentive. The food was heavy but good and we all enjoyed our selections. Worth a visit for Italian...

Unfortunately we won’t be returning, it’s a lovely looking restaurant but the food was very poor. The carbonara was the worst we have tasted and I wouldn’t recommend this as an authentic Italian

Family evening meal! We did "Family Eats" $35 per adult! Jake looked after us and accommodated our requests and then some! Our oldest can be a little fussy with her food! American Beer can be a little off but Jake's recommendation went down a treat! The decor is brilliant and so was the atmosphere! By far the best Itailian we've ever had! Super highly recommended! 5 stars for food and premises! And a massive 5 Stars for Jake! Get that man a beer!

Lovely food and the service by Charles was great! A great place to eat if you’re in Naples and the gluten free pasta was nice. Lots of good vegetarian options as well.

Great Italian food next door to my hotel, thanks Joe for recomending it. We had the giant meatball and zucchini fries as appetizers and Chicken Parm and Branzino for dinners. The teramisu was a great dessert to top off the meal. The decor was great as was service.

We ordered pizza, eggplant parmigiana and avocado toast here at Mia’s Italian Kitchen. The food, environment and service was amazing!

Great made from scratch Italian. The Giant Meatball was great appetizer along with Zuchini fries. The Fra Diavalo Shrimp was great with just right amount of spicyness. The pizzas were also great as was Bolognese. The family style flat price was great for a group .

Maddie had everything on point!! From a server to another one!! Hands down to her!!! Thank you for the amazing service!!! She had great choices and her attitude is amazing!! -Daniela

Carlito was the most attentive waiter we've come across in the 2 weeks we've spent in Orlando. He's an absolute credit to the company. Delicious food too ❤️

Fabulous, fresh and delicious food! Pasta Carbonara was phenomenal with the freshest in-house pasta with perfect woodfire pizza and reasonable! Hot and tasty!

Ordered to go. Food prepared correctly was good. Ordered parmesean coated fried zucchini sticks with a lemon aioli dipping sauce. No parmesean added. Brought it in and got an attitude that the cheese was in the batter and I just couldn't taste it. It wasn't. After a back and forth with attitude, the front staff went to get me so.e cheese. Then a manager asked if he could help, said they were supposed to be tossed in cheese and would get it fixed, and did. When I got back to my condo, the dip was plain mayonnaise. Check all parts of your order as those getting to go orders have no idea what the food is, how it is prepared, or what goes with it.....and could care less.

Came for a midweek meal… book ahead it gets very busy! The interior is stunning, reflecting the culture and history of Italy. The menu is small but what they do they do well. All past is freshly made. Good service and nice food. The wine was good too.

Worst pizza I have ever had. The restaurant is large and quite dark the menu is mainly based on the all you can eat 35 dollar option. We decided to order off the a la carte menu and had pizza. What a mistake it was more like toasted thick dough with some unrecognisable toppings on. Tiny portions too which surprised us for Florida. Won’t be back as the worst pizza I’ve had ever!

The second night tonight. I asked for a table but that was a difficult exercise for one person. Eventually I was able to sit at the bar. Ordered a carpaccio and a pasta bolonaise. The carpaccio was good and tasty the bolonaise I thought was very ordinary and nothing special. The two girls behind the bar perform top-class sports. They must be working HARD. At one point the whole tent was packed as well. Beloved eatery apparently. Again compliments to the bar girls. I had dinner. Give the food a 6 plus.

Popped here after having it referred to me by a friend. They had happy hour on between 3 and 6pm and we visited about 3.30pm however wasn’t even offered the happy hour menu and was just seated at a table and given the main menu. Anyway we ordered and the service wasn’t the best, the servers were all huddling together gossiping, our waiter kept playing with his beard and hair and didn’t once wash his hands afterwards. Food was delicious and massive portions. My son had lasagna and I had the meatball sandwich (is actually a massive sub/baguette style bread) Slightly annoyed about the 3% staffing fee which isn’t mentioned anywhere other than the bill and then the 20% plus tip soon makes the bill prices rise quickly

We had the best experience at the bar with Kristina. She had great recommendations, so so friendly and we got everything she mentioned. The food was amazing! We are visiting from Atlanta and wish we had a place like this that tastes homemade!

Great ploace for a bottomless brunch. We were able to try a variety of plates. The Giant meatball was awwesome as were the pizzas, benedict and many other dishes. It was our first time here but not our last. Thank you to Joe at Castle Hotel for telling us about it.

Made an online reservation for lunch. But only 2 other tables eating at 1pm. Service was slow for being so empty. Water is served chilled no ice. No idea how no ice is fancier. Ordered meatball sub. It was delicious. Just moist and flavorful. Huge portion. The marinara on their pasta is spicy good. Food is hot was worth the wait. I would return

We had a very nice dinner. Personal pizzas for each of us, along with a wine and mixed drink. Pizzas were very good. The server, Anthony, was very accomadatng, allowing me to build my own pizza even though that was not a menu option. The service was quick, and the pizza was hot. The restaurant itself is beautiful inside. Very enjoyable night.

The brunch is worth every penny. They offer many breakfast items like Italian scrambled eggs, avocado toast and banana French toast. Also included are many pizzas and pasta dishes. All 5 of us enjoyed sharing everything we wanted to try. Some of the pasta dishes were a little too salty for our taste but that is, of course, a personal preference. We will definitely return.

Great kids pasta for $7! The food is great and so is the ambiance. Good service too! My daughter asked to go back!! I would definitely recommend

Mia's Italian Kitchen serves full dinners, sandwiches, salad, and pizza. The decor is very nice. It was the second time we dined there and the food was just as good as the first time. My husband enjoyed an eggplant parmesan sub and Caesar salad. I had a delicious Margherita pizza. Service was good.

A beautiful dining experience. I would like to thank Hamid for his excellent service when we visited the restaurant. He was friendly, polite, caring, and very empathetic with us. I have celiac disease, and he was attentive the entire time to ensure I was satisfied, well-served, and safe from consuming food with gluten. He went out of his way to offer fish, as the bottomless menu doesn’t include many gluten-free options. Congratulations on having such an outstanding team member. Thank you so much, Hamid.

After an exhausting day at a theme park, we were looking forward to tucking into some comfort food. Despite it being fairly late (around 9:00), there was a long wait for indoor seating. We opted for the back patio, which was equipped with heaters that kept us very warm in spite of the cold weather. One of the servers even offered to turn the heaters up without us asking. I’m not sure if Mia’s is a chain (it sort of felt that way), but the food was pretty good. I thought the prices were a little high for basic Italian fare - spaghetti with marinara sauce was $19. That might be the right price if it included soup or salad and bread, but it did not. In fact, we asked for bread and were told they “don’t offer bread service, but have a cheesy garlic bread available.” It was $16. I had the lemon chicken with polenta and broccolini. The portion was reasonable for the price, but this dish was very, very rich. The whole plate was swimming in the sauce, which was delicious, but I would have preferred for the sauce to just be on the chicken. There was a giant blob of butter on the polenta that already had a lot of butter and cream in it. My husband had the vegetable lasagna. It was the standout dish of the evening. Highly recommend even if you’re not vegetarian. The children’s chicken fingers are battered, not breaded, which our kid enjoyed. A picky kid might be turned off though. The portion was large, and the price very fair. Our server was efficient and friendly. She chatted with our kids about the rides at the park, and gave great feedback about the dishes when we were ordering. Overall, I’d say it was a solid meal that included good, standard fare.

The food here was incredible with all homemade pastas. The shrimp fra Diavalo, zucchini fries, giant meatball and chicken parm were all great. For desert the Teramisu was the best I’ve had. The service was good and the hostess was very nice.

This was our second visit to this place, food was very good and service was above average. The problem music was so loud and not very good. We asked that the music be durned down and were told probably not! It was never turned down, we could not talked to each other at the table nor could our server hear us and vis versa. I have been in bars that the music wasn't this loud. Probably will not go back!

So good I visited twice in one week. Good food but be aware that you only get what you asked for, eg a mushroom lasagne does not come with any salad or fries. Very friendly staff, especially when I visited on my own and asked to sit somewhere bright to read my book.

The ambiance was great. Service was great. Food was really good. We tried a couple new items for us. The branzino was good as was the brijole . Chicken parm was really good as well. I love polenta , so I enjoyed it too. Cannoli for dessert topped it off. Really great enjoyable experience.

Brunch at Mia’s Italian Kitchen features a plentiful menu focused on classic brunch fare, Italian specialties and a handful of dishes that creatively blend both. The menu includes bottomless sparkling cocktails or Bloody Marys, available for $20. It also features a bottomless brunch for $26, which I don’t recommend unless you can shove A LOT of food in your belly. We tried. Despite our best efforts, we barely broke even when you compared to ordering a la carte. Atmosphere: A very spacious dining area and over the top décor are the perfect fit for International Drive and the tourist crowds. Food: the robust brunch menu included a combination of Italian fare (fried zucchini, meatballs, pasta dishes, pizzas), brunch nom noms (avocado toast, banana French toast) and, most exciting, imaginative dishes that combined both (pepperoni and mozzarella waffles, eggs Benedict with meatball and mascarpone bruschetta). The flavors were nice, ranging from OK to excellent, depending on the dish. Overall I’d give the food 3.75/5. Service: I found service to be the biggest area of opportunity. Generally, it was slow. Our server was very friendly but wasn’t on top of things. Our drinks would seat empty, waiting for refills.

First, my chicken parm was delicious. Second, the building and atmosphere are beautiful and clean. That is about all that is positive. My daughter ordered spaghetti with marinara. Simple. The server said it was available, but it was terrible. I can’t describe the flavor, but it was not good. There was only 1 server and she seemed nice, but we saw her a total of 3 times. I don’t know how a restaurant in a vacation area can operate with the 4 total staff we saw in the building and IT SHOWS! Try something else!

It took our group of five people 3 days to get a reservation before 9:30 pm but it was worth the weight. A very nice dining experience in a neighborhood of mediocre restaurants, Mia stands out for its outstanding food, varied menu, good wine list and friendly, obliging wait staff. I will remember my roasted mushroom lasagne, long on cheeses and mushrooms, for a long time. Good job and kudos to the kitchen!

Spotted this on Tik Tok because what was being said was that there was an option to have a “All You Can Eat.” Well, when we arrived, the server said they no longer do that. However they do have a family dining style where for $39pp you can eat any 5 items on the list. The items we ate were: 1. Chicken Parm- salty - not good 2. Rigatoni alla Bolognese- extremely good 3. BRACIOLE DI MANZO- very good 4. Jumbo Shrimp Fra Diavolo- extremely good, spicy 5. NONNA'S SUNDAY GRAVY- first time trying- so good It also included: Appetizer- Caesar Salad- not good and refrigerator cold. Dessert- APPLE-RICOTTA DONUTS- very good By the time we were halfway eating we were stuffed. Great sauce, great portions. Manny, our server was very attentive and helped us make great selections. The hostess in the beginning was not friendly. That automatically took this 5 star review to a 4 star.

We visited for the first time for a birthday dinner. We decided to have the family style all you could eat meal. Our server was great and we enjoyed the meal. I think the family style meal probably works best for larger groups. We ordered multiple dishes and everyone got a little bit. We all left stuffed. My favorite was the mushroom pizza. The only thing i didn’t really care for was the Rigatoni. Pretty much all of our group felt the sauce was to tart.

Fantastic service and food! Zucchini fries…OMG!! come visit this great place! Loved it so much! Stay safe all!!!

Great food !!! Absolutely delicious ! However, as it was bey full , it was quite noisy on a Sunday evening… nevertheless we returned for lunch on a different day , as the food was so tasty - we really enjoyed it !

A colleague and I were attending a conference and discovered Mia's next to our hotel. We didn't make reservations but sat at the bar for dinner which was very comfortable and fun. I don't recall the name of our waiter but he was excellent. The food servings are generous and excellent. I recommend sharing a few dishes because the amount is generous. This is a popular place as it was full on a Tuesday night. I recommend Mia's for great Italian cuisine.

Tried this place the first time and just wasn’t wowed. The server was very nice but she was extremely slow and inattentive so that really frustrated me… and no they were not packed . We had to ask other staff for our drinks, boxes and the check. I also didn’t realize that we had come during brunch which is on Saturdays and Sundays from 11 to 3. There is an unlimited brunch menu for $34.25, but it does not offer a lot of the traditional menu items. I was surprised to not see lasagna or any kind of shrimp. I did tell the waitress that I wanted shrimp and so they were able to add shrimp to the Bucatini pasta. The zucchini fries were actually very good and fried in a beer batter. It was the highlight. The bucatini pasta was a little bit hard and lacked robust flavor. Now $34.24 isn’t a bad deal for all you can eat, but I wasn’t looking for an all you can eat experience. I just wanted a nice bowl of shrimp pasta. The ambience was nice and the restaurant was clean. They also had unlimited mimosas. They also have a full bar. But this just wasn’t a great experience and I do not think that I will return. My check was almost $90 for 1 dirty martini, 1 sangria (which we did not like), 1 zucchini fries appetizer and 1 lunch entree of bucatini with shrimp. I could have went to Olive Garden for half of that and had double the food,

As we arrived the atmosphere was great. However the food, not so much. The minestrone soup was way too salty, the veal chop was burnt and the chicken parm tasted like it was breaded 2-3 days before serving. Additionally the donut balls were fried in oil that definitely needed to be changedand the cannoli was ok at best. All was not lost because the polenta, gnocchi, fettuccine Alfredo, green beans and mushrooms were very good. Special thanks to Danny our server, he was very helpful and attentive and the manager for the evening, I really can't remember his name (bald guy IM SORRY) but the two of these guys are SUPERSTARS and really made our experience memorable. Thanks guys!!!

Looked for a place close to the hotel with minimum 4-star average and Mia’s popped-up right around the corner. Service was great, the Italian margarita and smoking jacket old fashion were very good, Caesar and Italian salads (basically a house salad with a slightly spicy dressing) were good and the spaghetti pomodoro and chicken parmigiana very good. My only complaint was that for me personally the parmigiana was a little salty, but I’ll attribute that to personal preference - it was prepared very well and the accompanying pasta was enjoyed. Prices for a very good meal were pretty reasonable given the location. I’d go back again and would recommend without reservation.

As a regular Italian foodie, we thought we would try this place as the reviews were generally great. I have to say I didn’t feel welcome at front of house upon arrival. The guy was unwelcoming and needs some people training. The food itself lacked flavour and tasted bland, and was over-engineered considering Italian food as based on simple, flavoursome dishes. My main looked like mush with scrambled eggs swamping the dish. The decor is stunning however - but I wouldn’t go back sorry.

I don't typically write reviews but…We don’t mind spending $ on a good meal. But we spent well over $200 and none of us liked our food. The fettuccine was over cooked, the sauce had no flavor. My nephew had the veggie lasagna and THAT was delicious. I wanted to return my meal and get that. The server was very nice. It was WAY to dark. We had to take our flashlights (from our phones) out to see the menu.

I tried Mia’s as it was walking distance to hotel, and I really liked it. The decor is great, service and menu’s very good and food is very tasty. The sausage and pepper pizza was great, as was the garlic bread starter. No complaints, I will visit again while I’m here.

Extremely noisy, loud music blaring. We found it difficult to have a conversation. The food was good as well as the service.

Delicious food, exquisite drinks and outstanding service! Will definitely be back thank you! Crystal and Chalice were very helpful in explaining the differences in dishes

We got there early around 515. Waited 10 minutes for our server which we think he was on a break. We had various menus to chose from and did the Magical Dining. Large portions and good food! Server was more then amazing!! We will be back for sure!

The front desk in the resort we were staying at suggested Mia's for Italian food and what a wonderful treat! The decor was eclectic and fun and the food and cocktails were wonderful!!! Our server was very attentive and sweet too. So glad Mia's was suggested to us for dinner! Only negative is the parking because it's in a strip mall with lots of other restaurants.

We really loved the food and the service was great. The zuchinni fries are a must as is giant meatball for appetizers. The Fra Diavolo Shrimp was great as was the pasta with mushrooms for a vegeterian diner in the party. The Sunday salad was also great as was the margherita pizza. Bree one of the managers came by to check on us and was delightful.

All the reviews saying how great this place is are BS. It’s disgusting. Don’t waste your time or money.

We arrived at this restaurant after 9pm and this being our first visit we did not know what to expect but that is the beauty of first time visit. Hostess took us straight to our table. Waiter arrived in a timely manner, took drink orders and answered all questions. We found the seating area rather dark and very difficult to read the menu. Lightning in the area was very low light. Had to use the mobile phone on low light to see. We ordered a variety of dishes from personal pizza to egg plant parmigiana. Food was great however I would have like to had some bread on the table for starters.

Not what we expected and not quite a brunch, based on what we have experienced in more than 1,000 other places. There is no meat on the menu. Well, there was a sliced pepperoni on our pizza. That one pepperoni was divided to it covered two sections of the pie. And, there is a sliver or two of meat on another dish, but that’s it. Our server told us there is a significant upcharge for meat. So it’s pastas and breads and no meats. Another thing of note - the hostess scolded my wife because she said “I told your group that I would seat you when I got a chance!” Wait, what? She mistook my wife for another group of Filipino women that just happened to be there at the same time as us. SMH.

Came to Mia’s with my husband and in laws for my mother-in-laws birthday. The food was incredible! We had the diavalo pizza - perfect amount of spice. The spaghetti pomodoro and carbonara were also amazing. My husbands grandfather got the veal and it was so large and cooked perfectly. Our server heard us toast for my mother-in-law’s birthday and went out of her way to bring dessert with candles. Would absolutely recommend this place and hope to come back.

The restaurant was full, however Crystal was amazing with her service and hospitality! I would highly recommend this place.

Came for a quick lunch during a conference. There were 3 of us. I ordered the Shrimp fra diavolo. It was really good with perfect spice. The others ordered a pizza and a the Italian grinder. They both said they were good. Service was friendly but pretty slow and we had to ask twice for drinks that were ordered.

Some the best Italian food I’ve ever had, the veal chop marsala was unbelievable! The gnocchi was great as well and so was the tiramisu. Cool atmosphere, we will be back. Anthony and Josh Were our waiters, they were great.

I tried to eat here but you needed a reservation because it was so busy. Next time I came back into town I made a reservation a few days prior. The food was really very good as I had been told about by the hotel concierge. A little noisy but it’s part of the ambiance. Lots of large groups from expos and tours so reserve a table, people were being tuned away as we were leaving. My friend and I split the giant meatball which in itself is a small meal but it’s stuffed with mozzarella and the sauce it’s served with is excellent. I got the bucatini cacio e pepe which was fresh pasta and NOT overly creamy. Great balance of cheese. Small snafu with my wine as the wrong one was brought out and the waiter may have just put in the wrong order but it was quickly fixed. Love love love this place and will be back next time I am in town. Disclaimer that I am Italian and grew up with fresh pasta so I mean it when I say the food is legit!

Very large and well furnished place on the outskirts of Orlando. It offers discreet Italian cuisine, but without peaks. The bread is actually a focaccia. The meatballs are good. The desserts and wines are worth reviewing (many only on the menu). Fast and friendly service. Prices in the high American average.

The first time we visited we were really pleased with the excellent service we received for Dario. He was so friendly and made excellent food suggestions. He was so personable and made us feeel so very welcomed. He made excellent drinks and he was definitely the highlight of our visit. We made a return trip and this time encountered Crystal. She was so friendly and personable just like Dario. We were very pleased with her service and her drinks were absolutely excellent. The food is here leaps and bounds above rhe competition. We will definitely be back many time assuming Dario and Crystal are the bartenders. Best service in Orlando. We had hop and go to many Happy Hours. This is our absolute favorite thanks to these two employees. it’s hard to find service like this these days. Can’t wait to go back and I literally just walked out the door.

Booked a farewell wedding brunch here after my wedding planner recommended Mia's. My husband and I had a chance to dine there a month prior to check things out. Our initial experience was excellent but when it came to the event the day after our wedding with 80+ guests, the staff seriously missed the mark to the point where we had to speak with management. Servers had attitudes, they told guests different guidelines for ordering, it was very confusing and annoying given that we were spending over $4000. After this conversation, things improved a little, but it was still a bit disappointing. If you host a large event here, I would recommend confirming the menu offerings and how ordering will go. Also speak with the manager upon arrival to go over things once more and set expectations. We are not local and will never need to host an event here again luckily, but we would return with a small party.

Family of three, can't fault anything we got from starters to the main course. Winter cocktails were A1, really enjoyable evening, love the ceiling decor & service was excellent.

I'm drooling just thinking of Mia's! Their dishes are masterfully created & curated. Every bite is an explosion of comfort. Noodles cooked & made perfectly. I could eat a bucket of their noodles without anything, but add their delicious sauces & I'm in another universe! Speaking of other worldly, their decor is so fun. There are paintings on the ceiling! It's a mix of hip & romantic. The staff is always so accommodating & nice. I've sat outside, at the bar, & in the dining rooms, all comfortable & an experience. They really are top tier here with great cocktails as well.

Mia's Italian Kitchen: It's sad to say they had good food, but it only takes one bad server to ruin the entire meal experience. We asked for extra paper napkins and serving spoons as we would be sharing our food, the server promised and never came back. We waited until I had to go to the front greeter to ask for another server. At that time, everyone already lost their appetite, so we had to box all our food. The restaurant needs to do better quality control on who they hire and the restaurant manager needs to do more checking with all the customers to see if everything is good. I know times are tough, but as a customer, I go to eat out and expect good service for my hard-earned money.

We have the loaf bread with cheese covered that was superb as an appetizer, the pasta is homemade, sauces were delicious, wife had pizza which was again superb.

We enjoyed our visit and am very likely to return next time we are in town. The décor was well done and interesting. The service was timely. Our dishes were well-prepared and portions were large. They also had a nice beer selection. Overall, a veyr pleasant experience.

Great made from scratch Italian. Starting with Giant Meatball and Sunday salad for appetizers, Chicken Picatta and Branzino for main courses. The atmosphere was great and the service also.

Mia's Italian Kitchen has great decor and terrific service. The food was very tasty too. My husband had a large eggplant parm hero with a side salad. My Ceasar salad with homemade dressing was delicious. The personal size Margarita pizza was very good and just the right size for me.

I was dining alone so chose to eat at the bar instead of waiting on a table. My server/bartender, Crystal, was very helpful and made excellent recommendations for wine and dinner. I would visit again!

This restaurant is casual, perfect for families, friends and colleagues. The food is excellent and the service is very pleasant.

I have been visitng Orlando for 20 years and live here part time. We have tried countless Italian restaurants looking for a delicious dining experience. We found it. EXCELLLENT food. Will come over and over again. Fresh, served hot, not over seasoned. Excellent home cooked food.

We wanted to get off of the resort property and have a dinner that wasn't insanely expensive.  After digging around, we found Mia's and we're very happy we did.  There are two styles of meals: A family style where everyone shares a certain number of dishes or the traditional ordering for yourself.  We did the latter and found the food to be really good.  The portions were large and there was a good selection on the menu. The waitstaff was very attentive and patient in explaining what the options were. It was a fun atmosphere and a nice break from the kid-crowd at the parks.  If you're looking for good Italian food, I would recommend you visit Mia's.

Great place for some delicious Italian food. They make everything from scratch and it tastes so good. We did the Family Style dining which really is a good deal. It gives you a chance to try different things on the menu and you can get as much as you want. Needless to say we left feeling very full and needed a nap afterwards. Everything was so yummy! You will not leave this place feeling hungry. The atmosphere is fabulous and the service was impeccable. They also have some absolutely delicious sangria. If you are in the mood for some great Italian food and atmosphere I highly suggest dining here. Cannot wait to come back!

I think this is one of the best kept secrets in Orlando near the Convention Center. We discovered it by accident. We were just walking by and decided it give it a try. Awesome food with the best Happy Hour. Met John who is an assistant manager, great guy!!! Crystal behind the bar was great along with Diago (not totally sure if I have the name right lol). The Brick Oven pizza was among the best we've had. All the food and drinks were very enjoyable.
