Mia Bistro

While bicycling through Old Town Alexandria I stopped at this gem of a restaurant for lunch. I had one of the best meatball parmigiana sandwiches I’ve ever tasted. The toasted roll was perfectly filled with the most flavorful meatballs and fresh mozzarella. It was so good I took my girlfriend for dinner the next evening. I had lasagna and she had fettuccini ala fungi. We also ordered the large 18oz meatballs. Everything was absolutely fantastic, best meal we’ve had at a restaurant in a while. The drinks were delicious and generous with alcohol. The service was impeccable! Absolutely the best wait staff in a very busy environment. We were seated immediately and never had to wait or ask for service. Id give this place 10 stars if I could. Definitely go here!

My boyfriend and I went here for my birthday dinner, and we both agreed that dinner at Mia’s was one of our best date nights ever. When we walked in, we got a variety of bread with pesto and oil and a fried zucchini appetizer ON THE HOUSE! We started with mozzarella sticks and calamari (with marinara and spicy marinara!). All appetizers were DELICIOUS. We ordered two chicken parms and Caesar salad to split with our entrees (all delicious and filling). Finally, we ended the night with the table side banana foster which was delicious (as expected) and such a treat with the show! We will absolutely go again and I already can’t wait for the next time.

Went there this weekend with friends and I had a wonderful experience. The food was amazing, the calamari was amazing. I ordered the lamb for my main dish and it fell off the bone it was delicious. Before I left I had their espresso with cake, perfect way to end the meal. I look forward to going back!

Great place with great cuisine. Cozy environment with staff that makes you feel at home.
Visited for 1st time yesterday and food, service and ambiance was great. Will return. Definitely worth a try. ☺️

My husband and I just had a very lovely Sunday dinner here for the 1st time. We started with Cesar salads. They were super fresh and the portion was very generous. The mussel appetizer was one of the best I ever had. The mussels quality was excellent and the sauce had a perfect amount of spice. The bread was served nice and warm.
For my entree, I had the Frutti de Mare special. My husband had chicken Ala Mia!
Both were Very delicious!
Since everything was so good, we had to try the dessert, so we opted for the bananas foster. Having our waiter prepare it fresh for us at table side was a nice experience and a perfect ending to our dinner date. Highly recommended Mia and can’t wait to go back!
