Opened in 1991, Max a Mia was named “Best New Restaurant” by Connecticut Magazine in its first year, and “top-grossing restaurant in its size” by Restaurant Hospitality. The restaurant is now in the good hands of Executive Chef Bob Peterson, who has brought an exciting new energy to the restaurant.

Max A Mia is the quintessential Italian experience in the Greater Hartford area. It also continues to garner awards and accolades. Featuring a traditional Italian menu, it utilizes an authentic brick oven that produces stone pies with unmatched flavor. Traditional veal, pork and pasta dishes, as well as inventive risotto offerings, set the mood for desserts including tiramisu and white chocolate polenta cake.

An extraordinary and comfortable 25-foot granite bar has elevated Max A Mia to the social place in the Farmington Valley. The dining room features wood and tile, warmly lit by custom fixtures to create a sophisticated and luxurious – yet friendly, family environm

    Max a Mia is always consistent. I order the same thing every time I go and it’s good. I also like sitting in the bar at a booth because I think it’s more intimate and quiet.

    The olives, bread and roasted garlic that was brought to the table were excellent. The Tuscan salad was excellent too. The homemade pappardelle with the Bolognese was a little pasty. The coconut gelato was delicious and the service was very good. It was a little noisy for us, but it may not be considered noisy for most people. I’ve been here several times and always enjoyed it.

    We are long time patrons and were meeting friends for lunch. We had a lot to catch up on and Max was the perfect place. Low noise level on a weekday afternoon, excellent pumpkin soup and kudos to our server, Genesis.
