" I visited Mia Trattoria last week, and I can't stop talking about it! Authentic Italian food that transported me straight to Italy. The pasta bolognese had the right amount of sauce and seasoning, making it comforting and delicious. We were seated quickly, and our server was cheerful. The only criticism I’d have is the seating—it was a bit cramped, so maybe not ideal for larger groups. Nonetheless, it was a fantastic dining experience, and I highly recommend it! " (*Curated Review*)

" The best authentic Italian spot in San Diego. My husband and I visited last week. We were welcomed with friendly smiles and attentiveness right away. The pasta con le vongole is a must-try! Each bite was simple yet full of flavors reminiscent of Italian seaside dining. The tiramisu for dessert was light and not overly sweet, just the way I like it. Definitely a repeat for us. Everything feels home-cooked and recaptures our Italian eatery experiences! " (*Curated Review*)

" I had dinner at Mia Trattoria last night, and what a delight it was! The eggplant Parmigiano was perfectly cooked and full of flavor, reminding me of what I had in Italy. The atmosphere was cozy, perfect for a date. The only downside was that the service was a bit slow since the restaurant was quite busy, but the friendly staff made up for it. The tiramisu for dessert was heavenly! I can’t wait to return and explore more of the menu. " (*Curated Review*)

" Okay, let me tell you about the fettuccine! It's simply outstanding! Cheesy, creamy, and everything I dream of with Italian pasta. My date had the mushroom risotto, and it was divine. The service was prompt, and the staff was genuinely friendly, which made us feel right at home. The only downside was that the space was quite small, so I wouldn’t recommend it for large groups unless you call ahead. We left feeling satisfied, and taste buds were happy! " (*Curated Review*)

" Unforgettable dining experience at Mia Trattoria! From the moment we walked in, the aroma of Italian spices tickled our senses. We started with a delightful bruschetta that was bursting with flavor. For main course, I decided to go with the seafood pasta—pure perfection! The blend of fresh ingredients made all the difference. Though a little on the expensive side, you get what you pay for in quality here. Will certainly return because it made date night extra special! " (*Curated Review*)

" This little Italian gem exceeded my expectations! From the moment I stepped in, the warm, inviting atmosphere made me feel right at home. I ordered the lasagna, and it was so good, incredibly cheesy and perfectly baked. The staff was friendly and attentive without being intrusive. I really loved the decor as well, complete with red checkered tablecloths and charming little candlelight. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a cozy dining experience! " (*Curated Review*)

" Mia Trattoria is a delightful Italian restaurant! I had the spinach ravioli, which was fresh and stuffed just right. The customer service was commendable, as everyone was pleasant and attentive. We also shared a dessert, the chocolate cake, which was heavenly. The ambiance was inviting, although a bit packed on a Saturday night. Overall a pleasant experience, and I’m planning to return soon to try more dishes! " (*Curated Review*)
