    This was our first experience at Mia's. The food, service and atmosphere were all great! The $49 Christmas dinner option was excellent. I had the shrimp bruschetta, lobster ravioli and cranberry cheesecake. All were very tasty. My plates were wiped clean :) Brittney, our server, was wonderful and attentive. We will be back again for sure.

    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!
