There were 6 of us dining on a busy Christmas Day for dinner. The place was very busy but our server James did an excellent job taking care of us. Out cocktails came out quickly and the food was delicious. We all had a great time and I look forward to dining at Mia Moto again soon.

We were so happy they were open on Christmas. Food was simply amazing. Had no problem hearing conversation. Servers were very attentive. Food service was incredibly prompt, even though it was very busy. That being said, we could not tell that they were that busy. We highly recommend this establishment for that special night with a very special someone. We will surely return. By the way, this was our first time here. Very well done.

Service was very good, servers were very attentive and well versed in menu and wine knowledge. Ambiance was chic yet inviting. Food was very flavorful, executed very well, portions were not overly massive like other Italian places which we enjoyed and they were also very filling. 5/5 - we will definitely be back.

My family of four went on Christmas Eve. Great service, food and atmosphere! The only thing I would recommend is to ask to be seated away from the door. Every time the door opens you get hit with the winter cold. We will be back.
