It was alright. Kinda mediocre. The hostess didn’t have a great personality. Said she’d seat us, but we had to be out by a certain time, so that the table was available another party. A little too quiet. You could very easily hear everyone else’s conversations. The food was average. Salad was just iceberg lettuce, some shredded mozzarella, and a couple beans. Breadsticks were like Olive Garden breadsticks, just twisted. It’s BYOB. Also, you kinda feel out of place if you don’t personally know the owners and staff. Not terrible, but probably wouldn’t go back.

My family came into town Thanksgiving weekend and I was looking for a nice place to take them. There was a large group of us but everything was perfect. My cousin said this was the best meal she’s ever had! Our waitress Alyse (I think) was excellent. She was patient, kind, and very very nice. The food, atmosphere, and customer service were fantastic. Thank you for a great family dinner!

I have not eaten here in a while, and I was impressed with the food. The veall parm was wonderful. My wife has always enjoyed their pasta with white clam sauce. The Greens and Beans were average, a bit dry, good sausage, though. Great service and friendly staff.

This restaurant, which was located in Avalon, was very quaint and relaxing. The vibe was family oriented, from the table settings to pictures on the walls and the decore. Where we sat, as a group of seven, felt like going to someone’s home for Sunday family dinner, even though it was a Tuesday. Everybody brought a bottle or two of wine and after appetizers, main courses and desserts (I forgot to take a picture of the tiramisu), the bill was more than reasonable. There were ample portions of food and everything was delicious. You get the sense that everyone knows everyone and it’s family owned and the family members are all around, involved in the day to day operations. It felt genuine and authentic there. The only thing missing were children, but it was pretty late!!! Great place for a family outing, date, or group of friends.

Really enjoyed the ravioli in white suace and the veal marsala might be the best I’ve had. The 3rd dish was a bone in pork special they were offering, also very good. I’ll be back!!

OUTSTANDING! This is it, classic old school Italian food exactly the way it should be! Ignore the old fashioned kitchy decorations and artwork. This restaurant is Legit!
The food is fabulous, the portions are extraordinary and 100% family service is outstanding.
Highly highly recommend! It’s cash only…

I had to take my dog, Caleb, to the emergency department at PVSEC. He had to stay for hours and I was stressed and starving. I found Mia Madre Trattoria online and headed on over.
I am in love with this place! Over the top Christmas decorations which make it feel so homey. Delicious food! Most importantly, a friendly and caring staff. They were booked but found a little table for me which I so much appreciated. One of the owners, Shari, came over and talked to me a bit about my dog’s situation. She even gave me a bracelet blessed by the Pope! I was overcome.
Everything about this restaurant was exactly what I needed at the time. Thank you so much for the genuine concern and helping me feel not so alone that night. PS, Caleb pulled through and is doing well!

Ravioli with meat sauce was great, meat sauce really made a difference to the dish. The salad was interesting, you can tell some thought was put into it with the extra ingredients.

It’s a nice place, but plan ahead when you visit. They’re BYOB, so grab a bottle of wine en route if you don’t have one handy. The service is friendly, but they’re aren’t in any kind of a rush. You’ll be spending a good amount of time here; it’s not an in-and-out kind of place. Pick a night when you don’t have anywhere to be afterwards. Also, if you’re hungry, grab a snack before coming. A fair amount of time can pass between being seated and eating.
The food is tasty. I had the gnocchi and fell in love with the sauce. My dad had a delicious appetizer called a pepper loaf and mom had the chicken picata, which also outstanding. I’m looking forward to the leftovers tomorrow.

Very good food and was made to feel like part of the family, definitely reccomended for a laid back meal that almost feels like you’re in your own dinning room.
