The steak was too dry, and the size of 160z and 20oz steaks are the same. Went first, but served last?

This was by far the best Italian restaurant outside of Italy! The service was impeccable, the atmosphere was delightful but the food, OMG, most delicious place in the whole state of Alabama, the south and even the US. Job well done! Bellisimo!!!

A wonderful Italian Restaurant. We dined here a few days ago, and Mr. Alex was our waiter. We had the chicken tortellini and pork chops, and all three desserts just because they looked so delicious, which they were lol. Food was great, our drinks were never empty, and it's a very beautiful place.

My mom read an article in Southern Living featuring this restaurant as the best in Alabama -- or some similar lofty accolade. We were pleased to find it was in easy driving distance for us, and so off we went to give it a go.
Located in the small downtown of Oneonta, we didn't have trouble finding nearby street parking during lunch time. Although the entrance and exterior is low-key, the interior is spacious, airy, and just classy enough for a restaurant that walks a nice line between a finer dining experience and an accessible but high-quality lunch spot. Large ceiling, exposed brick, etc. It wasn't super crowded but they were doing a solid business for a midweek lunch.
Our waitress was spectacular. She was an older Latina woman with a moderately thick Spanish accent; I'm not sure if she gave us her name. She walked my dad to the restroom when we first arrived, patiently answered questions (both menu and non-menu related...my endlessly curious dad can and will chat up anybody!!), and provided great recommendations. She brought us to-go drinks and boxes without asking (though we definitely needed them!). She was just so perfectly attentive, warm, and gracious. HUGE kudos!
Their menu consists of pasta dishes and upscale American and Italian classics like filet mignon and chicken Parmesan. They also have a few more lunch-y items like a steak sandwich. Entrees come with bread and salad for the table.
There are jars of delicious, buttery, smooth and herbaceous olive oil waiting on each table to go with the bread. It was perfect with the warm rolls that were brought out to our table. We couldn't stop eating it. The shared salad was large and loaded with fresh vegetables and other goodies, including banana peppers, olives, tomatoes, and red onions. The house dressing was lightly acidic and enjoyable.
We got a plate of fried ravioli to share to start. It was delicious! The cheese was SO gooey and there was no shortage of it inside the crispy, salty, breaded ravioli. The dipping sauce wasn't overly sweet and complemented it perfectly.
For entrees, my dad ordered a blackened chicken salad, my mom got fettuccine Alfredo with chicken and vegetables (I know she kept mushrooms and peppers but asked for no broccoli), and I got crispy chicken Parmesan. They will grill the chicken if you prefer. This came with my choice of three pasta sauces: tomato basil, Alfredo, or creamy tomato basil, which is half and half tomato basil/alfredo. At the encouraging of our waitress, I went with the creamy tomato basil.
Everything was absolutely delicious. My dad's salad was probably the weak link though was still quite tasty -- serves him right for getting a salad at an Italian restaurant. ;). It was huge and the chicken was cooked very well, not at all dry. Mom absolutely loved hers and was very impressed at how beautifully and subtly all the different flavors played together. The creamy tomato basil sauce on my pasta was absolutely fantastic and a great recommendation. The spaghetti was cooked perfectly. My chicken Parmesan was maybe the *tiniest* bit overcooked (edges were a little chewy), but the inner pieces were succulent and the breading and melted cheese on top was delightful. Everything tasted so fresh and flavorful. It was truly a delightful dining experience.
This would be a great road trip for special occasions like an anniversary or even just for a fun way to treat yourself. Please give them a try if you're anywhere nearby. I hope to return in the future despite the distance.

Beautiful and clean, service was excellent, food was just mediocre, but the New York cheesecake was amazing!!!
Food and staff are wonderful. We had the fried mushrooms, tortellini, lasagna, ahi, blackened tilapia & shrimp--all hits. Family-owned, always welcoming!

Good food. Nice quantity. Great service.

Mio Sogno is a Blount County favorite—and for good reason! Their spaghetti, steak, salads, and desserts are all amazing. The staff is friendly, quick, and treats you like family. Whether you're local or just visiting, you need to try it. You won’t regret it!

My favorite place to eat in town. The lasagna is amazing. The steaks are pretty yum too. Try the tiramisu if you ever get the chance, you will not regret it.

Great atmosphere and wonderful staff. However, the salmon pasta wasn't exactly what we were hoping for as the salmon was mixed in small pieces. Also, the New York strip steak had much more fat and viscera in the middle of the steak than I cared for.
