Max a Mia Ristorante

Talia was our server today. She was lovely and gave suggestions on specials and items to eat. When my salmon was slightly undercooked she got them to quickly redo the offer and gave us dessert on the house. Food is pretty good overall. Would definitely recommend.

Typical Max establishment: professional service, mostly good but not overly inventive dishes, generous portions, and reasonable price point. Eggplant lasagna and ragú were our favorites. Lobster agnolotti and raviolo were decent but missed the mark. Octopus was solid but not overly special.

We had our rehearsal dinner last Thursday and it far surpassed our expectations! Max a Mia put our party of about 20 people in a beautiful private room and even printed off the cutest menus to commemorate our event! Our waitresses, Grace and Avery, were so attentive and did a wonderful job. The food was delicious (highly recommend the Caesar salad and ragu bolognese!) and came out perfectly timed between courses. The cocktails were also fresh and well balanced. Liz the special events manager was so helpful leading up to the event and we were so happy we chose Max a Mia (especially in their beautiful new space!). We're so grateful and look forward to visiting again and enjoying dinner!

Sat at the bar and had the ravioli special with puréed spinach and egg. Outstanding. Also had the scallops risotto which was also excellent. We dine here fairly often and the service is always top notch. We had a bottle of red wine and the only minor issue is it was too warm. Would be nice if they stored some of there wines in a wine fridge

Disappointed with this new location from the food to the service. #BringBackTheBread Food: Menu is still solid (shout-out to the Tuscan salad and chicken parm holding down the menu); however, I will always remember having their bread with roasted garlic and sauce since I was a child, but since moving locations the bread service is cut in half. We used to get multiple nice pieces with more than enough sauce and tangy olives to fill up on if we weren't careful. Now the individual bread slices seem smaller and we felt lucky enough a piece of bread per person. Good luck trying to get more. Drinks: Cocktails were fair but took too long. Not worth the money. Service: Bring your pillow so you can nap while waiting for your server. They might have been overwhelmed. Ordered a cocktail when we got there but didn't get it until after we finished our appetizers while waiting for dinner. Atmosphere: Looks great from the outside but it is way too crowded indoors. It's loud and with so many pockets and corners that it's begging your server to forget about you. Haven't tried the bar but it looked fun.

Lovely restaurant the waitress was very helpful explaining the different dishes. I had the sweet corn ravioli. Although it was very well made I should have stuck to something more savory. Was just a little too sweet for me. But speaking of sweet I did have the coconut cake which was to die for! The waitress says they have people who order whole coconut cakes from them and I can see why. One of the best desserts I've ever had. Just the right amount of sweetness and so soft. Great experience would definitely go back. And I have that cake in mind for a future event.

We went for our anniversary and everything was perfect. Started out with the burrata appetizer and then my husband had the lasagna and I had the branzino. I wanted the cod special but really wanted the branzino with that meal. Our bartender said they could do that for me and it was spectacular! We brought dessert home, tiramisu for my husband and coconut cake for me. Such generous portions. I ended our anniversary dinner with the best Espresso martini I ever had. It was a perfect night!

Not a friendly menu for people trying to eat healthful food. Very rich and loaded with fat…but tasty. The waitress was very good and she didn’t rush us to leave at the end of our meal. I recommend them for foodies who love Italian cuisine.
