We had another wonderful dinner at La Mia Cucina. We started with the Arancini and Crab/Prawn Cakes, then shared a pasta dish, Tortiglioni with Sausage. All three were very tasty. I had the Sandabs as my entree and our guests ordered the Portobello Mushroom Ravioli. I would recommend both highly. Throughout the meal, the owner was gracious and helpful. We brought our own wine that had unfortunately turned bad, so he helped us select a nice replacement. We will be back.

Mashed Potatoes on their signature Tri-plate were lumpy and roasted shrimp were smaller than in the past, but taste was excellent as expected.
