Went to Mita's for my wife's 40th birthday. It was an amazing experience and the food was unbelievable. Chef Tim is best-in-class and made us feel welcome with a table visit. It was a great time!

Always a pleasure to dine at Mita's. Our server, Carmen, was outstanding. It was a busy night but she always stopped over to check on us, went above and beyond trying to help us figure out what a little picky eater would like, and was so charming and helpful.

What a treat to celebrate 10 years of Mita's! Chef Jose put together and executed a delicious meal. Corn was the highlight of many delicious dishes. So happy to have Jose here in Cincinnati!!!
