What diners say — our read

An average is a poor summary when the underlying reviews look like this. Reviewers who mention the staff rate this place 4.3 on average — it is working in the restaurant’s favour. After that, freshness appears most often — 21% of the corpus, averaging 4.2.

Behind those, pacing is raised in 21% of reviews (3.7 average). 21 of 28 rated reviews are four stars or higher; 4 are two or lower. More reviewers landed on 5 stars than any other score — 20 of 28.

The health record runs ahead of the reviews. The last DBPR inspection returned an A (100/100) and no violations cited. That result dates from April 17, 2026. Ranked against Orange County, it is safer than 100% of the restaurants we score. No violations were recorded at that visit, which is the cleanest result available.

Nothing here pulls in opposite directions — an unusually clean read. The reviews themselves follow, unedited and newest first.

    I went here with a group of friends and ordered the Victoria’s Spaghetti. When asked if I wanted to add meatballs, I said yes. The food came out with one giant meatball and when the bill came out there was an extra ten dollar charge that was not disclosed when I ordered the meatball. The server did not disclose this to anyone at the table, nor were we aware of the forced gratuity. I have no problem tipping, but for a waiter to mislead us into spending more in order to receive a bigger tip absurd. Those 10 dollars would have went to my portion of the tip, but instead we were forced to spend more for no reason.

    The BEST food and service! Everything is made from scratch and it’s phenomenal. 10/10.

    Ate here twice. First experience was outstanding! Food and service was outstanding. Not the case the second time. My lasagna was over cooked. Noodle was crispy and charred. Too long under broiler? My wifes eggplant parmesian was also overcooked. Very noisy and busy. Suggest if you go here go at an off time. Convention Center was nearby so it was busy with conventioneers.

    I hosted my wedding rehearsal lunch at Mia’s it was great ! The host were amazing drinks and food were delicious. I will definitely book again. 10/10 all around ♥️

    Food reasonable but I've had better. In keeping with most of the food I've had in America, far too salty. The pizza's are snack sized and the pasta overcooked. Very noisy.

    Made a reservation and was accommodated immediately by hostess Madison and Melissa. Waiter’s name was Daniel and he was an ace. Accommodated every off menu request we had, even getting my father a custom dessert. Would come here again without a doubt. Asking for Daniel next time!

    The waiters were very nice, drinks came fast and food came quicker than normal resteraunts and the appetizers were great! I went here on my birthday and the waiter wished me a happy birthday and gave me a tisumara cake with a candle.

    The service was great for ordering and serving drinks and plates. My son and I ordered the same plate, Rigatoni Bolognese. This is a plate we regularly order at multiple Italian restaurants. We were told that everything is made from scratch and that the place has the best pasta in Orlando. We started eating, but my son noticed the red pepper spice flavor we hadn't been told was in the sauce. He couldn't finish the plate because of how spicy it was. I was able to eat it. After that, we both went home feeling that something was not ok with the food that we had just eaten. Both had very poor digestion of the food, and my son started feeling unwell. We had to get medication to cut the upset stomach. Don't know if it was the amount of spice in the sauce or something in the meat, but we definitely won't come back.

    I ordered the Bolognese Lasagna it was delicious. However, it was burnt under the bottom which took away from the delicious desire.

    It was our 1st time visiting Mia's Kitchen, and it was phenomenal! We sat at the Pizza Bar which was really cool. Our server, Roger was outstanding! He was so friendly, patient, and efficient! The food was unbelievably amazing! They have the Best happy hour for food and drinks! We will definitely be back.

    Mia Italian Kitchen was absolutely amazing! From the moment we walked in, the atmosphere was warm and inviting. The food was fresh, flavorful, and authentically Italian, with generous portions that left everyone satisfied. Every dish was beautifully prepared, and you can tell great care goes into both the ingredients and presentation. The staff was friendly, attentive, and made our dining experience feel special from start to finish. Whether you’re looking for a date night spot, a family dinner, or a place to celebrate with friends, this is a restaurant worth visiting. We will definitely be back the next time we’re in the area. Highly recommend! 🍝🍷✨

    Great experience, the family meal is great, $39 per person and you share everything, includes salad and dessert plus 5 items of your choice for starters or entrees. It was a great experience, we left there really full and will definitely come back!

    After making a reservation a day in advance and arriving promptly on time, I waited 15+ minutes to be seated. Kind of defeats the point of a reservation, we were addressed as though we had just walked in and had no prior reservation at all. Got to the point where we just decided to leave and not eat at all.

  • June 21, 2026

    I love it here! The food is always fresh and delicious, get the all you can eat brunch, some sangrias and bring your friends 10/10

    This place is absolutely beautiful and the food was amazing. Our server, Desiree, was so wonderful and patient with me. She truly is an asset to this restaurant. She helped make my birthday dinner special. Can’t wait to come back to eat and see her again. Thank you so much :)

    We were there for work dinner. Got stuck with an older Indian server who was terrible at his job (my guess is they stuck us with the worst server knowing he'll get automatic gratuity with a large party). He got our orders wrong and was very sloppy clearing table.

    We have been traveling over an hour and a half to come to Mias for 5 years in a row! We went on 6/20/2026 for father's day dinner and had reservations and the experience was not good this time! We ordered 2 meatballs that were still good but not as good as previous ones. The entrees were definitely not the same quality as before. Also our waitress was horrible....... she never refilled our drinks our food order took forever to put in and we waited over an hour for our entrees. I'm sad to say we will not be returning! The 256$ we spent was not worth it this time!

    Food was amazing! The Summer Citrus Sangria was incredible and the server Jennifer B was exceptional! Thanks! I enjoyed the place

    We recently hosted our end-of-season volleyball team dinner at Mia’s Italian Kitchen for a group of about 45 people, and the experience exceeded our expectations. We chose the family-style dinner, and the food was fantastic with plenty of delicious options at a very reasonable price point. Planning an event for a large group can be stressful, but Harriet, the Event Sales Manager, made the entire process seamless. She was responsive, friendly, accommodating to our requests, and truly a pleasure to work with from start to finish. The wait staff was equally wonderful—attentive, welcoming, and great with both the kids and adults in our group. The ambiance was perfect, and the private area in the back provided more than enough space for everyone to comfortably gather and celebrate. If you’re looking for a venue for a team dinner, family gathering, or large group event, I highly recommend Mia’s Italian Kitchen. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience! 🍝🏐🎉

    We celebrated both Mother's Day and my Birthday on 2 separate occasions. We enjoyed their Bottomless Brunch both times. Our waitress Zoe and waiter Francisco were amazing, friendly, informative and very knowledgeable of the menu. Everything is made fresh in-house to include their pasta. The beautiful art on the walls and ceiling created an artsy feel taking your eyes on a journey through Italy, including a beautiful wine bottle chandelier. My number 1 favorite was the breakfast Bruschetta, it was incredibly fresh, vibrant, delicious, and woke up my taste buds on all levels. I could eat that everyday. My second favorite could almost tie with my number 1 favorite and that was the Fungi & Tartufo Pizza, it was insanely delicious with robust flavors of garlic, black truffle-buttermilk crema and fresh herbs. I ordered 2 of them. The Banana French Toast hit every delicious mark. The Italian Scramble was cooked to perfection with bold and fresh flavors. Mia's Signature Meatball Benedict might have sounded strange but I assure you that as I cut into the perfectly poached egg the creaminess of the egg over the meatball was rich and pleasant tasting. The freshness of ingredients made the Sausage & Peppers pizza over the top, said my husband. House Made Pasta dish called Rigatoni Alla Bolognese was divine and again you could taste the freshness in all the ingredients.They have an outstanding red sauce. Lastly, we ended with both the Tiramisu and the Cannoli, both again made in-house.…
