Went here for my anniversary and was greatly disappointed. Kitchen lost our order so we waited 45+ minutes. Vibe is tacky and depressing. AI looking art work on the walls and cheesy etsy signs everywhere. Weird music playing on a bluetooth speaker. Servers were awkward.

Arancini was still frozen on the inside. Egg plant parmesan was drowned in bland tomato sauce. Gnocchi had no flavor as well.

Not sure why Bedda Mia is rated 4.6

Had the carbonara, unfortunately it did not hit the mark from me. Could have had more pepper, it seemed like bacon instead of guanchale and the parmasan grated on top was from a box. Did not get offered fresh black pepper to put on top.

Really fabulous food! I’m kind of like Johnny Depp in Once Upon a Time in Mexico, except I always order eggplant parmigiana (not cochinita pibil) as my measure of how good a place is. Excellent! They do something to the eggplant that kind of carmelizes it and the sauce is 100% fabulous. So, this eggplant was truly incredible; however, I didn’t have to go eliminate the chef as Johnny Depp would have (to restore balance to the country).

We didn't have anything boring at Bedda Mia. They squeezed us in between the reservations on a Saturday and while busy, they were still attentive and the food was excellent. The specials were especially good (anything with the bisque sauce was tasty and textures were well executed).

This is the most wonderful restaurant. The food is top notch. The service friendly and professional. The ambiance is that of an established family run place. I've been here 5 times alone and with friends. We all give it 5 stars.

I'm almost hesitant to write a review so I can keep this place a secret. STELLAR Italian.

Food: we were looking for a quick bite and found this place. Surprisingly, the pasta and seafood are fresh and the sauce is pretty good. The gelato was okay. The portion is pretty good for the price.

Service: the staff were very welcoming and helpful. However, he gave us a feeling of rushing everything…from orders to desserts and getting the bill.

Ambiance: there was basically no one on the weekends and we sat down in the patio area. It was not too shabby and quiet to have some nice conversations.

We had a really disappointing experience at this restaurant. The food was overpriced and the portions were small. The salad came without any dressing, just plain leaves, poorly presented, and missing ingredients that were listed on the menu.

My friend had to ask for dressing for her salad, and instead of bringing it right away, the waiter first came over to check if it was really needed, then took a long time to finally bring just a tiny bit.

To make things worse, most of the desserts we wanted to order were not available. Even something as simple as asking for a box to take leftovers took an unreasonably long time.

It was one letdown after another. Never again.

I have food allergies and they made food for me leaving out the things I'm allergic to. Very nice and helpful 👍

The staff were so sweet with our kids and made them paper airplanes to play with. We had a group of 6 and we all loved our meals.

Excellent. Attentive waiter, good bread, great dishes, authentic regional dishes, even the house wine was great. This time I had salmon ravioli with a side of meatballs. The rav was aldenti, the salmon perfect, both smoked and fresh, the meatballs are pure heaven.

Food quality is average, more American-Italian than Italian food. Overpriced. The ambience is more similar to a fast food than an Italian restaurant.

Our waiter was nice. That was the highlight of dinner. Chef Boyardi would've been better.
