    My recent visit to Mia’s Italian Kitchen was a delightful experience! From the moment we walked in, the restaurant's ambiance transported us to a cozy Italian trattoria. lively chatter created a warm and inviting atmosphere. We started with a couple espresso martinis (11/10) my friend got a delicious cappuccino. We will definitely be back

    I recently went for the second time. Both times were very busy, but the food was delicious, and service was polite & attentive. I have had their pasta and pizza and sangria - all were fantastic. My friend ordered dessert, tiramisu. She was very impressed, said it tasted authentic & was the best tiramisu she has ever had! I look forward to returning soon.

    Brunch was absolutely delicious. We did not do the unlimited option as there were two of us. I can’t wait to return with a larger group. We had three items and all three were outstanding. The meatball Benedict was perfect, the flavors blended well and each bite was a delight. The Italian scramble was bursting with flavor, the mushrooms were incredible. We started with the breakfast bruschetta and that was a great starter with the delicious coffee. We moved on to mimosas with our meal. The service was on point, each person was friendly and we never felt rushed. I highly recommend MIA’s.

    Overall, it was an incredible experience, but what truly stood out was the exceptional service. Our waiter, Brendan, made us feel right at home from the moment we arrived. He offered thoughtful recommendations and was wonderfully attentive, providing some of the best service we've had in a long time. Brendan really made this birthday dinner unforgettable. The ambiance was fantastic as well, creating the perfect backdrop for a memorable evening. As for the food, it was top-notch—especially the whole chargrilled branzino served on a bed of broccolini. Even the pickiest eater at our table gave it a 10/10, which speaks volumes! We also enjoyed fried zucchini, Caesar salad, carbonara, eggplant parm, linguine with clams, and jumbo shrimp. Thank you for an amazing dinner!

    Absolutely loved the bottomless brunch at Mia’s! Every single thing we tried on the menu was delicious. Brunch was well worth the money for the amount of food we got. Make reservations ahead of time because they’re very busy - you won’t regret it!

    Dined in at Mia’s Italian Kitchen and it was an experience worth sharing. From the moment we walked in, the cozy and welcoming vibe made us feel like we were guests in someone’s home. The atmosphere strikes the perfect balance between casual and classy—great for a relaxed meal or a special night out. What truly made our visit exceptional was Mike, our server. He was friendly, attentive, and genuinely cared about making sure we had a great time. His recommendations were spot on, and he made us feel like regulars. It’s rare to find service that feels both professional and personal, but Mike nailed it. The food was just as impressive. Every dish was fresh, flavorful, and clearly made with care. While the pasta was amazing, I was surprised by how incredible their Cobb salad was—easily one of the best I’ve had anywhere. If you’re looking for authentic Italian food, a comfortable atmosphere, and top-tier service, Mia’s is a must-visit. Ask for Mike—you won’t be disappointed!

    This restaurant has a perfect location right on the waterfront in old town Alexandria, on a cute cobble stone pedestrian street. I went for the unlimited brunch special - all sorts of Italian appetizers, pastas, and pizzas were on the menu. Friendly tip - don’t order too many appetizers (everything comes with generous slices of delicious oil drizzled , oven roasted bread) - by the time the massive platters of pasta come out , you may already be full! We ordered the giant meatball , mussels, and bruschetta as appetizers, and two pastas and two pan pizzas for the mains. (We liked the pastas more than the square pizzas) Ended this amazing meal with apple donuts with creme. PS - bruschetta is pronounced bru-SKET-a
