I love Italian, definitely a huge fan of it, I mean come on my love for pizza was just the beginning. Everything about the food and the culture just astounds me and i cannot get enough. When I first discovered Mi Piaci it was on a whim with my family after the movies. Just looking for a new place to try and there it was. The second we walked in I fell in love with the look of the restaurant; the options of sitting upstairs, downstairs, or the beautiful patio that is gorgeous at night. Between the staff and the chef coming out to greet us and seeing how we enjoyed our food, instantly I knew this is a place I would come back to several times and I have. Been back with family, friends, and even brought my staff and volunteers for Volunteer Appreciation month.
I have been here for both lunch and dinner and while I recommend coming hungry, just be careful how hungry because the food does take a while to prepare. Although I can confirm it takes a while because the food is absolutely divine. While I have tried a range of pastas, my absolutely favorite continues to be the Pasta Diavola. Shrimp, white wine, red pepper and herbs, in a chipotle tomato sauce. The chipotle sauce is the perfect kick to this amazing pasta and added with the shrimp I am always sated after my meal.
My other favorite dish would be the Penne Pasta Scoglio, Clams, mussels, calamari, shrimp, scallops, and fish in a light tomato sauce, although since the waiter remembered I loved the Chipotle sauce so much, he recommended to order it with the same sauce. Let's just say I fell in love with him afterwards because it made the dish twice as amazing, because I had it without once, but for any spice lover, this addition is a must.
Each visit has been calm and relaxing, and each visit has varied in terms of wait times. Although with company and just the atmosphere these wait times have never bothered me as with other restaurants. The desserts are also to die for and unfortunately at the time I cannot remember the names but I always end my night with one of their delicious cappuccino's.
