the food is SO tasty, welcoming honey atmosphere, wonderful service in an intimate setting.
Randomly chose Mia Trattoria on google tonight looking for Italian restaurants in Hillcrest. Parking was easy, we were seated quickly, nice selection of wines and prosecco, and classic, Delicious pastas. We ordered three dishes to share between the two of us: gnocchi gorgonzola, fettuccine with pesto, and a cheesy, peppery pasta. All were wonderful, and we are looking forward to the leftovers! We'll definitely go back.
The burrata salad was not fresh. The lettuce had been on the fridge for hours and had no dressing. The garlic bread was great but very spicy, think Italian meets Mexican chili. Go for the regular bread instead. My chicken Marsala was perfectly cooked and very tender. The linguini with clams comes with a very generous portion of clams. The tiramisu was fantastic. Their wine list was very varied and good.

Mia Trattoria is a cozy and charming restaurant serving authentic Italian cuisine. The food is exceptional, with highlights including the minestrone, which is arguably the best in the city. The chicken marsala and chicken Parmesan are also popular choices. The staff is friendly and polite, with the owner often present to ensure a personalized dining experience. The atmosphere is warm and inviting, with seating available on the patio. Customers often praise the pasta, which is cooked perfectly, and the focaccia-style bread with oil and vinegar that is fresh and delicious. The menu features flavorful dishes such as chicken with capers, olives, garlic, and red sauce, paired well with a glass of montepulciano. The grilled octopus and seafood soup are described as amazing and of high quality, with fresh fish and great taste. The lasagna is very flavorful and often finished in one sitting. The generous portion of Minestrone is full of varied vegetables and melted cheese on the bottom, a rare find in San Diego. Desserts like tiramisu are served in charming chilled bowls, light, creamy, and rich. The cappuccino froth is delightfully creamy. The wine list is very varied and good, and portions are very generous at a fair price. Overall, Mia Trattoria remains a hidden gem worth trying, offering a warm, homey atmosphere with friendly service and delicious, authentic Italian dishes.
