    Everything was great and we were in a table in the back nook which was great for catching up with friends because it was quieter. Will request that table again. Loved the cod dish and the wonderful service!

    Had a great dinner at Mida for my son’s birthday. The staff was very friendly and attentive. The cocktails were perfect, the food was delicious and the entree portions were bigger than most restaurants these days. All the ingredients were fresh and every dish had a depth of flavor and texture. We ordered the mussels (delicious!!) burrata, focaccia, eggplant parm, bolognese, swordfish piccata, the salmon and the chicken. Loved the vibe of the place and the music too. They brought out a special tiramisu with a candle for my son at the end of the meal. Would definitely go back!

    Food and service was unbelievable. My girlfriend and I live in the North End and have tried many of the restaurants in the area. This is by far my favorite. I got a flat iron steak and it was the best flat iron I’ve ever had. The prices are on the premium end but in this case, your premium cost is getting you a premium experience. 10/10 we will be back.

    Hostesses were not pleasant and not accommodating at all when we got there early and did not show any effort in trying to find us a table. Not exactly what I call customer service. With that being said, we have been there 3 times within the last 2 months because of the lively atmosphere, great Italian food and amazing cocktails and bar staff.
