Great staff and chefs. Highly recommend this restaurant. The waitstaff is excellent and very professional. Highly recommend the crab soup it is the best!
A few days ago I was able to visit Mia for the first time. I'm very glad we decided to give it a try. Upon arrival, even on a weekday afternoon, the restaurant was packed. We were greeted, however, with a friendly staff member who told us we could be accommodated at the bar. The first impression of Mia was that they had a staff that knew what it meant to serve and be hospitable; skills, and character traits, that have been lost by many at this point in time. Our bartender(server) was very knowledgeable and not only was attentive, but made recommendations. The menu is rather involved, so we appreciated the assistance. Due to time constraints I won't give a full run down of what we ordered, but, I will say, we were extremely impressed with the quality, creativity, and the care that was taken with each dish and drink. A standout... the chicken wings! I never thought I would order chicken wings in a fine dining establishment, but I am so glad I did. The wing was just a conduit for an incredible delivery of flavors. My wife doesn't eat chicken wings... but wanted a second order! The other items riveled the level of quality and impressiveness. For timing reasons, I'll flash forward to dessert a Thai banana cake that, upon arrival, made us question our order. It was displayed fine, but didn't look like cake. But after we took a bite with the accompanying banana slices and the slurry of homemade caramel, we all had our spoons add the ready for bite number 2! Unbelievably delicious! All in all, we were more than satisfied with all aspects of this little gem on The Commons. Common it is not, and we'll be back.

Wow what a great place. We had a bunch of the small plates and they were all delicious. The chicken satay skewers and the paneer were standouts. The vibe was great and all the staff were super friendly and attentive and kind. Our server Jake was awesome he felt like a friend by the time we left.

Wow! What a gem! My boyfriend and I happened upon Mia while visiting Ithaca and were thrilled with our meal! The back patio is really cute! We opted for small plates and loved the flavours in each dish (coconut shrimp, beef lemongrass skewers, stir fried bok choy). We're still talking about how delicious the pork belly was. That broth! We had the Thai coffee creme brulee for dessert and it was a yummy take on a classic! Thank you Mia for a wonderful dining experience we won't forget!

Tapas places hold a special place in my heart, and this place takes an interesting twist on the concept with asian tapas. It does an awesome job of having a variety of small dishes and larger ones for a traditional experience, but I only tried a lot of small ones. However, every single tapa i tried was delicious and used great quality ingredients. The service was good and the staff were super attentive and helpful in choosing what I should get. Great spot.
Great food, wonderful service and reasonably priced.

Mia’s was a treat. There were plenty of vegan and GF options in addition to the non veg offerings. We sat on the covered patio in the back as the main dining room was very cold.
Camila, our server, was very attentive and provided excellent service. The food was outstanding, and we especially enjoyed the lotus root fritters. They were so good I had to ask to make sure they were vegan/gf!
Treat yourself to this family owned and run delight in Ithaca.

Great food and service! I was trying to find a new spot to try out and wow, I’m glad I tumbled into this place. Not sure what the other review meant about racism, I didn’t feel like they were racist at all, everyone I talked to was super kind and helpful even though they were very busy. I asked if I could reserve a table next time, but they told me they only take reservations for parties of 7 or more or during graduation. I understand why though, every place is fully packed during graduation.
Anyhoooo, will definitely be coming back more often now. I think I found my new favorite spot in Ithaca.
Great staff and chefs. Highly recommend this restaurant. The waitstaff is excellent and very professional. Highly recommend the crab soup it is the best!
