    We enjoyed a wonderful dinner at Mia’s! The service was prompt and everything arrived in a timely manner. The staff demonstrated exceptional attention to detail and were considerate throughout our visit. When one of our entrees was lacking in pasta, they promptly addressed the issue by providing additional pasta on the side to complement the protein. Overall, it was a delightful experience, and the interior ambience was truly lovely. Shoutout to our lovely waitress, Brittney! She was awesome!!

    Great service, great food, great wine. We went on Christmas Day about 4:30pm. It wasn't crowded, it was warm inside the place which was good since it was cold outside and we walked about 1/2 mile to get there. The waiter was very good. Definitely will be back.

    Landini is a fave of ours. The lower King Street location plus the old world ambience make it a charming experience. For the best bargain in Old Town go for lunch and order a $15 panini. Accompanied by a terrific side of potato salad plus an arugula salad - and preceded with bread and olive oil - you’ll leave neither hungry nor poor!
