What an adorable and fabulous find!! We live 40 min away and were in the area several months back, but the line out the door intimated us. So glad we came back. It is ABSOLUTELY worth the wait! There is a little nook of a coffee shop and gelato just inside the door. They had my heart when I saw the Pizelle maker on the counter. 💖😍 My husband had a caramel bourbon latte while we waited in line. It was Smooth and not too sweet.
For dinner I had the Big Tony and my husband had the Gemma. The Big Tony is Lasagne smothered in crack sauce. Yes, it certainly was!! The sauce was delish and flavorful, but not too salty-just perfecto. Best Italian food outside of Italy and the atmosphere is perfection! Instead of boring generic plates, dishes are served up on antique dinner plates. The owner and her family do various jobs. The servers shout your name when your dish is ready and you raise your hand for them to bring it to you.
There is a little sign at the entry that explains that their flour and many items are ordered from Italy. I am gluten sensitive, and did not seem to have any trouble with the lasagne or the fluffy focaccia. That is rare.
Mila was walking around and gave us a few minutes of her time to tell her story of the restaurant. She is a hoot, a delight, passionate, and hard-working. 💗It reflects in her establishment. Even though my big fat Italian family is all spread out around the country, I felt like I was having family dinner at our little table in the corner. Such warmth, love, and Amazing dishes!! Can’t wait to return!! Keep it up!! Middle TN needs you!!

Mama Mila’s is my happy place ❤️ If I’m having a rough day this is where I come, because everything about this place makes you feel at home and it’s so comforting. You feel like family while you’re here and it makes me smile. The owner, Mila, is so sweet, funny, and an amazing person in general. She’s fun to talk to, will answer any questions you have, or if you have dietary restrictions she’s your girl to talk to. I love her videos online and her personality 😆 The staff is so friendly and if you’re not sure what to get, they can help you decide. Everything on their menu is awesome so you can’t go wrong. The food and desserts are beyond PHENOMENAL (you will dream about this stuff every night until you come back). We always get dessert and nibble on it while we watch the kitchen staff make food and be silly lol. I love this place ❤️
The “Get in and get out” food is amazing to take home and have on hand. If you’re picking up stuff from this fridge/freezer or need to take your hot food to-go, you can hop in the “To-go” line and check out pretty quick.
Highly recommend this remarkable place! 😁

I knew this was going to be a great experience when I first saw there was no sign on the building. When a business looks like this at 4:18PM and advertising is solely by word of mouth, you just know it’s worth the wait.

The staff is so friendly and focused, the food is hot and delicious. Watching the staff, serious yet playful made me miss working in a restaurant. They embody the mantra “you are a guest in my home” mentality and this is what going out to eat is all about.

We waited as did everyone. An older woman in front of me told us that she’d waited longer and this was her fourth time.

My only advice is to consider the weather and dress for the line.

Absolutely delicious homemade Italian food! The food is made to order so it is always fresh, hot, and made of the finest ingredients! Sometimes there is a line but trust me it is worth the wait!! The staff are personable and attentive and Mila goes out of her way to connect with her guests. We have loved ever single dish we have gotten, from the specials to spaghetti and meatballs! Everything is seriously delicious! We have even gotten the frozen homemade pizzas, they are the best! And don’t even get me started on the desserts… soo good!! 10/10!!

I drove nearly 6 hours to have Mama Mila's for my birthday and it DID NOT DISAPPOINT!!! The vibe was exactly as I'd hoped for and the food was AHHHH-MAZING!!! Everything was top notch - quality, service, and the food! If you have a chance, catch Mila's videos (TikTok) and you will see what you are missing!

When you eat at Mama Mila's, you not only get the best Italian food, you also become a member of Mila's family. And this family member felt her amazing generosity yesterday!
