MIA Italian Tapas & Bar

This place is so amazing! I will start with the atmosphere. The atmosphere is so relaxing loved the outside seating. In the center of the Domain is MIA Italian Tapas & Bar. The service is great, food is perfect, and the environment is nice. Loved the Bolognese and garlic shrimp! Great food quality Italian food. Would visit again and recommend to anyone wanting to try!

Hey Google Fam...I don't post a lot since I stopped traveling for work, but had to take some time to recognize this amazing restaurant! We spent the day up in the Domain , walking around, having drinks, and decided to come to Mia for dinner. It was a great experience, and the food was phenomenal. We ordered several tapas dishes and then split the lamb rigatoni as our main. 15/10 will go back and try more of this experience! Go make a reservation now!

Came for dinner here with my wife. Their lamb pasta is so damn good. The tuna crudo is very tasty too. My wife had the mushroom and truffle pizza and it was good and filling. I had the chocolate mousse, it was extraordinary. Service was excellent too. Great restaurant!

My boyfriend and I came here for drinks only, so I can't speak honestly for the food. However, what passed by us looked and smelt amazing! Our bartender was excellent and made a fantastic espresso martini. We enjoyed the atmosphere and will come back another time to try the food.

The place is great! Our party of 7 arrived at 6:50 and was immediately seated upon arrival because everything was already ready. The staff were all so friendly as well. The whole restaurant was very cozy and clean, even the bathrooms! Food and drinks were also great. Only thing I will say as a con is just that the place is quite narrow so it did become a little crowded once dinner rush picked up and it did get pretty loud because of how close the proximity of others were, but that is very much up to personal preference. Overall would absolutely come again!

My husband and I had a wonderful evening at Mia Italian Tapas courtesy of a contest we won from the Domain Northside instagram which featured a five course tasting menu and a bottle of wine. Walking through the door we felt welcomed and were escorted to a special table for us and greeted by the manager, Alex. Lindsey was our server and Chef came out later to say hi. We left feeling like family! Although they don’t normally do this and the items we tried were not on the menu, I feel it is a great representation to the quality, creativity and love of the craft of Mia Tapas! We were blown away by each course, our favorite being the seafood risotto (which I could eat every meal and hope to see on the menu at this restaurant or their others)! The wine they picked out a delicious Chardonnay and bold Zinfandel paired perfectly with our courses. We capped it off with a delicious chocolate mouse and homemade limoncello. The atmosphere was great! Not a huge restaurant, but intimate with incredible natural light and semi-open kitchen. They have a small bar that has seating and know my husband and I will be back to enjoy their menu items and talk with the friendly staff! Thank you to Chef, Alex and his team! 10/10

A perfect Mother's Day dinner at Mia! All the food was delicious and the servers would crouch down to make eye contact when talking to you, showing great respect. It was an impeccable experience! I love this place and highly recommend it!

We've been to many authentic Italian restaurants over the years, and Mia fell really short especially when considering the amount of high reviews it has. We ordered the house red sangria, which was prepared by the weitress and had a bit of a medicine taste. It was difficult to actually taste the wine. The carbonara pasta was overcooked, and the pasta with shrimp (4 small shrimps and a huge plate of pasta) had an extremely overpowering red pepper sauce to the point we couldn't taste the actual shrimp, making it one of the worst pastas we've had. The only thing we ordered which we would recommend are the truffle fries. Lastly, service was also subpar. Our weitress did not come once to ask if the food was good or whether we needed anything else despite being seated in the center of the restaurant. She only took our order and went about her business. If you know your Italian food and are looking for authentic and great tasting Italian dishes, I'd recommend looking elsewhere.

I had an incredible experience here on Sunday night! The young man who served us was exceptional--he gave us plenty of time to look over the menu, offered thoughtful suggestions, and clearly took pride in the authentic Italian dishes. I say this because I asked for ranch for my pizza and they didn't have any as they keep it as authentic as they can. I loved this. The location is perfect, right in the heart of the Domain, with a vibrant ambiance that adds to the overall experience. I thoroughly enjoyed the pizza, meatballs, and the seasonal cheesecake, which was absolutely irresistible--I couldn't stop eating it! The wine selection was also great, complementing the menu. The lighting and atmosphere were just perfect for a relaxing evening. I would absolutely come back.

My boyfriend and I were in town for work and looking for a good place close to our hotel that wasn't a national chain, and MIA popped up. So glad we decided to try them! The food was delicious and well priced, and so were the drinks. We sat outside and our server didn't leave us hanging even though he had plenty of people inside. The manager also came by and was a gem. I came back for a drink on my own and the service was once again amazing. I also sat inside for a change and it wasn't super loud even though they had a decent amount of customers. Highly recommend!

Came in for brunch with my friend one day. It was pretty quiet in there which was awkward since we were kind of giddy and ready to let loose, but it is what it is. We ended up only getting a bottle of champagne and left so unfortunately I can't give my full opinion on the food. The menu looks good though, so if I'm ever back in the Domain I'd be sure to give it a try. The space is so small, hopefully the evening crowd makes the place a bit less socially awkward.

I really enjoyed the Italian tapas concept of this place. Being able to try several different things without getting too full was really fun. My favorites were the scallops and the arancini. The scallops were cooked perfectly, and so was the risotto that came with it. The contrast between the crunch and inner creaminess of the arancini was amazing. The filling (I think also risotto?) had a great balance of saltiness and lemon flavor/acidity. On the other hand, the brussels sprouts were a lowlight. They were extremely sour and sweet. My mouth was puckering, and I was making weird faces in the middle of our lunch date. I'd probably skip these and get some other veggie instead. Next time I also want to try the meatballs since the table next to us seemed to really enjoy them. The best part of the whole meal was the complementary creme brulee! It was very kind of them to celebrate our anniversary, and it was quite delicious. I'll be back!

Love this little spot. Every time our boys get their haircut at Bird's next door, we pop in, grab some of the daily cocktail specials or a glass of champagne and chat with the wonderful bartenders. Alex (owner, we think?) always has such interesting concoctions for both drinks and bites on the menu and we're looking forward to one of their wine dinners soon!

MIA is located in the domain and they were really accommodating to us. I brought my dog and we were able to sit outside and we got a table towards the back. We still got great service and they didn't forget about us. The food and drinks were really delicious. They specialize in tapas and they have a wide variety of items on their menu. We started with their arancini and scallops. Then we shared the braised lamb rigatoni with Brussels sprouts. We met the owner and he came around multiple times asking how our experience was and if we needed anything. He gave us the whole run down on the dish and the amount of labor and craft it takes just to create this one dish. All of the food we had was great and had some much flavor. I really recommend all of the dishes we had. This is a great date night spot and everything is easily shareable.

This place has amazing service and really good plates of food. There were three of us and we split four different plates and felt like that was plenty!

Located in the Domain, Mia Italian Tapas is a dimly lit escape from the energy of Rock Rose. We showed up on a Saturday night and were seated immediately without a reservation. The lighting inside is nice for a date night, but the tables are very close together, so it's not the best if you're looking for something a little more private. Our server was very attentive and happy to make recommendations. We ordered: - Brussels Sprouts (4/5): These brussels sprouts are accompanied by lots of different fruits, which really plays up the sweet and savory aspect. I also enjoyed the addition of mint, which helped them feel a little less rich. - Confit Carrots (5/5): Our server said these are their favorite, and I can see why! These carrots are served on a delicious spread of whipped ricotta with lemon balsamic on top. They are also on the sweet side, so keep that in mind if you're not a fan of sweet and savory dishes. - Sirloin Steak (3/5): This was not my favorite steak, it was just a bit chewy. - Truffle Fries (5/5): You can't really go wrong with truffle fries, and these are no exception. I'd also like to say I wish every restaurant put this much cheese on their fries. Overall, Mia Italian is not a bad choice for dinner in the Domain, especially if you're planning to go to the bars down the street afterwards.

MIA is a hidden gem in the Domain! My friend and I went for happy hour and loved our experience! We ordered the specialty cocktail which was delicious, and a bunch of tapas to share - Oven roasted meatballs - huge portion and good quality meat! Blistered shishito peppers - the right amount of spice and charred to perfection Butternut squash agnolotti - YUM! My favorite item and my friends too (she doesn't even typically like pasta but loved this one!) Pan seared scallops - melt in your mouth good! We ended with a creme brûlée for dessert, which was also absolute perfection. Enjoyed the service and lovely ambiance as well, making it a memorable experience!

This place was delicious! Everything on the menu was well executed, and the Chefs at this restaurant are very talented. Our server was excellent (Taylor E.) as well! Lastly, great ambiance and very accommodating staff. My girlfriend and I will be back for more! Five stars all day!

Decided to try this restaurant and I'm glad we did! We opted to try 3 different pasta's-fettuccine Alfredo, spaghetti carbonara, and shrimp linguine. All three were really good. The presentation, atmosphere and our waitress were great. I would definitely come back.

This is a favorite restaurant. Celebrated my daughter's birthday. Jose was a great server. Very friendly and helpful. We ordered arancini (fried risotto balls with some spice)/Brussel sprouts with apples, grapes and golden raisins/bacon wrapped dates/chicken croquettes with béchamel/butternut squash agnolotti with browned butter, sage, citrus, and candied pecans/caprese salad with burrata, pesto, basil and tomatoes/strip steak with black truffle oil/creme brûlée. Everything was delicious. No leftovers!

Let me start my review by saying the greeters and servers were extremely nice. When we walked in, there were two other groups seated but they were not busy at all. After we got to our table, the server went over the menu items and drinks. We placed our orders for drinks and appetizers. A few minutes later, we put in the order for entrees. The appetizers came out fairly quickly but the same cannot be said about our main meals. For the table, we ordered the chicken croquettes, brussel sprouts, and garlic bread. All of these items were decent but pricey for how much food they give you. Thank goodness we had appetizers because it took about an hour for our entrees to come out. I had the chicken Alfredo and Caesar salad. The Caesar was really tasty and had the right amount of seasoning. The Alfredo was just okay. It didn't blow my socks off and to be honest, I could have made this dish (better) at home, which is disappointing since this is supposed to be an Italian restaurant. Overall, the experience was just okay but I don't think I'll return unless I can get items cheaper for happy hour.

We were visiting family in Austin and had the opportunity to get out for a date night on New Year's Eve! We ordered way too much food but I have no regrets lol. The brussels sprouts and the confit carrots were full of flavor, the grilled shrimp was slightly underwhelming but omg the prosciutto bruschetta, the meatballs and the grilled bread were standouts for us. Everything was served nice and quickly and we had a really nice time! We'll definitely consider this place next time we're in Austin!

We had a fun time at HH yesterday! We had a group of 7 we were happy they had a happy hour (HH) menu until 7pm because it's so hard to get anywhere by 5:30/6:00 pm in Austin during the week! Food was good. It was really busy and sometimes hard to hear others talking. They were able to split the bill, which we love, but we had a little confusion when checking out so some items ended up on other people's bill. I very much recommend Mia for HH. And because one of our friends was celebrating a June birthday they brought us some lovely tiramisu dessert.

Pleasantly surprised by this unassuming Italian tapas spot. You wouldn't think that this restaurant is that big until you step inside through its huge doorway. There was no wait (Saturday lunch time) so we were seated right away. Our waiter was very attentive, checking to see if we wanted drinks and if we needed recommendations for the menu, and refilling our waters regularly. We ordered the butternut squash agnolotti, mussels, and steak. Everything was equally delicious, not a bad dish in the bunch. The agnolotti were sweet pockets of perfectly al dente pasta. The mussels came with a sizeable hunk of grilled bread and savory tomato-y broth. The steak were perfectly medium rare and had a punch of truffle that balanced with the purée. All in all, a positive experience that may warrant a future visit, coming from someone who doesn't often visit the same place multiple times. This may honestly be one of my top favorite restaurants in the Domain.

I stopped by with a friend for a late dinner (no reservation) and this spot didn't disappoint. We were quickly seated and our server promptly greeted us. We ordered a variety of items and all were delicious. Our server, Jose, was attentive and amazing! Chill ambiance, casual spot, and great for any occasion. Definitely worth the visit - I do recommend!

I'm drooling just thinking about my meal. I just left from having dinner with 9 of my girlfriends. Every. Single. Dish. Was incredible 10/10 Jose was our waiter and he was FANTASTIC.

The food was excellent, especially the Scallops. The manger Alex and waitstaff were amazing and professional! Really felt like we were enjoying fine Italian food in Italy...highly recommend!

The service was excellent--everyone was friendly and accommodating. It's a fantastic place for tapas and drinks. The GM, Alex, visited us several times during our dinner, sharing insights about the food and adding a personal touch. I highly recommend this place for a night out on the town!

Mia tapas is a lovely little spot in the Domain. Our waiter was very attentive and kept the water and wine refilled. We tried the bacon wrapped dates, beef sliders, tuna tartar, chicken croquettes and roasted carrots. It was all so delicious. The carrots were my favorite! I recommend this spot.

We had an excellent experience last night! The service was excellent. We had several of the dishes and they were all delicious. The mushroom pizza was amazing.

"What the world needs now is love, sweet love It's the only thing that there's just too little of What the world needs now is love, sweet love No not just for some, but for everyone" Tumbled in this place after ditching happy hour next door. Originally when we entered we were told they had a wait...we opted for the wait but right before we turned an employee came up and said they had a table for us.. thank you!! Our server, Kelsey was amazing!!! She definitely gets 10/10!! She seen we were about to leave and told them she could take us. Her customer service alone is TOP TIER!! She was very knowledgeable about the menu (our first time) and checked on frequently and didn't miss a beat. She was very personable and friendly! Not every day you get a server that goes above and beyond!! THANK YOU!! The decor is beautiful and unique (ATX golden) and of course being in a prime location (Domain) they def raise the bar. Food: 10/10 I am a brussel sprout addict and try them at any restaurant I visit and review!! These are MY FAVORITE!! I've never had them prepared like this with apples and grapes and the flavor crossovers were just delightful! Each bite I discovered a new flavor and the paring was just unbelievable. I def need to try to make this recipe or something similar. My pasta was also exceptional. I can't wait to revisit!!

First, we called to see if there was space on the patio (had our pup), not only were they so friendly over the phone, the moment we showed up, the hospitality rung true! We were greeted with smiles and immediately sat. Lindsay was our server and made the absolute best recommendations. Everything was outstanding. We started with a chianti and house old fashioned, both on point, followed by the caprese (best anywhere), followed by tapas - steak bites, garlic shrimp and truffle fries. All fantastic. We split carbonara which was also fantastic! Alex, the GM came to visit with us and was so kind. He explained everything was scratch kitchen without preservatives and organic. Very impressed! We'll be back! Great experience all night!

Had a little date night at Mia after putt putt at the Dirdie Birdie. Enjoyed some great pasta and grilled bread (not complimentary). The ambiance was nice and the waiters/waitresses were nice and helpful!

Amazing food! All made from scratch on site. Great service too! .......... Why does yelp require 85 characters?

The food and the service is absolutely amazing. We waited a few minutes for our large party to be seated but I would have thought it would have been a lot longer since it was last minute and pretty crowded. Cudo's to them! The owner came out and told us about their menu so our initial selections changed and it was defiantly for the better. So so happy with our experience! We will definitely be back and I look forward to the next time.

Went for a birthday Happy Hour. The restaurant was able to accommodate us without a reservation but I would recommend a reservation for a large party on busy nights. We had the drink of the week Moro & Smoke. Old fashioned with mezcal, smoked maple simple syrup, blood orange. Very nice. We ordered almost everything on the HH menu - pizza of the day, truffle fries, roasted meatballs, chicken croquettes, beef sliders, chicken wings and arancini appetizers. Everything was tasty. The pizza of the day was Canadian bacon and red onion. The vegetarians in our group ordered in plain cheese which was actually pretty good. I don't really care for truffle (fries served with mayo) so I only picked at the hidden fries without too much truffle taste. Three small roasted meatballs did not seem amble. The chicken finger croquettes were a little strange. The beef sliders (two) were small - a little larger than a quarter in circumference. The chicken wings were bland but the sauce (spicy and very tasty) redeemed them. I didn't try the arancini but our friend really liked it. For a birthday dessert the server offered tiramisu or creme brulee. The birthday girl had the tiramisu. It was whipped cream with a tiny bit of cake in the center. Appreciated but would not order it otherwise. The ambiance and service was excellent! Will be back again!

Great tapas, specials, pricing, and more! Alex, the general manager, made sure to bring a taste of the dishes we were curious about and provided great service. The happy hour is great too! Make it here!

FOOD: - Pan Seared Scallops were delicious, even better was the super lemony risotto that came with it, I cleaned that plate! - Mussles Fra Diavolo were solid, def a spicy broth and good meaty mussels. Great toasted buttery bread with it. - Butternut Squash Agnolotti - the ravioli were overcooked (super soft), but still tasty. Heads up this was a pretty sweet dish in case you want more savory flavors for your tapas. - Grilled Bread was ok, nothing super exciting though, thought it would be more grilled than it was. There was cheese but would have been nice if it was melted on. DRINKS: Pitcher of red sangria (sigh). I dunno if it's cuz I'm from New York where there's tons of true Spanish/tapas restaurants, but this sangria left a lot to be desired. First it had zero fruit in the pitcher. It was also served with a ton of ice in the pitcher and with each of our glasses filled with ice. I felt like I was drinking something watered down most of the time, even when the manager topped our pitcher off with more sangria after I was honest about the strength of it. Again maybe I have high standards for sangria and this might be standard for Texas but I would have been happier with a glass of red. AMBIENCE: Great, high energy. Good for an old (mid 40s) married couple like us out on a "date night", but would not recommend for an intimate convo. SERVICE: Excellent. While the sangria was meh and the food was good but not noteworthy, the manager (I think that's who he was) was quite attentive and I liked that, and our water glasses were never empty. Would I go back? The million dollar question...answer is maybe. If I did, I'd go with a different dining partner (I love my husband but he's not that food adventurous) and try things like the calamari, tuna crudo, crispy manchego. But if I'm craving tapas maybe next time I'll try El Raval (haven't been but looks promising), as for Italian my faves are Il Brutto in East Austin or Cedro in Cedar Park!

we loved this place! we had brussels sprouts, carbonara, fries, Agnolotti, scallops and an amazing chocolate mousse the best dessert I've ever had!! Shout outs to Tailor our server, for the amazing service!!

MIA is my favorite restaurant in the Domain retail/residential area. This comfortable spot specializes in creative small plates you can easily share or enjoy alone. My favorite small plates include Confit Carrots (trust me on this one), Brussel Sprouts with smoked grapes and apples, Butternut Squash Agnolotti, and Pan Seared Scallops. The friendly staff gave me a great tip. If you order the Insalata Caprese, ask the cook to add a little prosciutto. A+ If you're at the bar, try a refreshing pear margarita.

Came late on a Wednesday Evening around 8:30pm for dinner with myself. I sat at the bar! The restaurant wasn't too packed with a slow flow of people coming in and out. The list of tapas is small. I wasn't impressed by the selection. The Brussels sprouts and meatballs were okay, but more on the salty end. They actually have more entrees and large dishes. I did enjoy my glass of wine by the class. Service was also very quick! Overall, food is okay, but service and ambiance is great for a date night.

Came here to do a casual birthday dinner and although the vibes of the restaurant were nice, the food was very very unimpressive. We ordered margaritas and they only tasted of sour mix. The espresso martinis were good. We ordered the scallops, chicken Alfredo pasta with shrimp added, and strip steak. The scallops were good and the risotto that was layered underneath was tasty. If I were to come back, I would order those again. The chicken Alfredo pasta had some great and thick noodles, which I actually like, but the way the sauce, veggies, and chicken were prepared made it look very cheap. It gave restaurant style lean cuisine frozen pasta. The shrimp we added tasted very off and the bad type of seafood-y. The steak was good but not out of this world. It needed more seasoning. Overall the service was nice and the server was attentive. I probably would not come back again however. The red garage is around the corner so parking is available near by.

Went there earlier today for my birthday. Got a few appetizers since we would be going out to dinner in a few hrs. What we got was good. Just wish I the portions were a bit bigger. Our server was very nice.

Thank you Alex and Mia for setting up an amazing graduation party for our youngest daughter as she gets ready to go to college. You handled over 20 guest with no problems at all. Everyone was more than pleased with all of the entrees and the wait staff was incredible! You guys are the best!

We stopped here for happy hour on a whim while walking down the street. We wanted to go to a bar nearby but I wanted food first. We found this place and it did not disappoint. We sat at the bar because the tables were full and it was a great move. We got to see drinks being made and even food being cooked. And the staff were super friendly. The specials were great. Prices were affordable. My partner got mussels and I got shishito peppers that were to die for. I even tried a few specialty cocktails. We stayed til nearly close and the whole time the vibe just felt comfortable and welcoming. I love the writing on the chalkboard walls too!

Went here for a bite to eat before cruising around the Domain. Never been before and had never been to the area before. Had stopped to look at the menu while deciding options. Great selection & prices so decided to give it a go. The inside is well designed and cozy - perfect for a quick bite, to hang with some friends or even take a date. The service was wonderful and helped us choose some options to fit the vibe. Food was amazing and selection allowed us to sample many options without over doing it. 10/10 would highly recommend!!

AMAZING carbonara, great staff, fantastic vibes. Authentic food and people, must visit!

Overall I had an amazing experience at the Mia! My husband and I came into town for the weekend and stumbled upon this cute restaurant tucked away in the domain district, and I'm so glad we did! Everything on the menu is wonderful as we ordered 6 tapas and drinks. The scallop dish was by far our favorite! We will for sure be back and I highly recommend to anyone that wants an incredible experience. Everyone was very genuine and kind! Thank you Alex & team.

Pasta was ice cold on the inside today. Little chunks of ice, for sure frozen . These guys were my go to for italian in Austin. I wont be back.

Food was great. Service was really good. They really cared about our meal. Meatballs and figs were a standout. Was great sitting outside and watching the world walk by!

The atmosphere and food were delicious. We always felt like we were being taken care of from the moment we stepped in, until we walked out. I would recommend this to anyone coming to this area!

We had an issue with the hostess when we asked for a different table than she wanted to give us. She threw a fit. We told our server and we received an apology from the restaurant manager. They made it right. Our server Jacob was phenomenal. Super nice and had wonderful menu suggestions. The atmosphere is industrial modern. It is snug and can be a bit loud when busy. They offer nice cocktails, beer and wine selections. The food is the star. We ordered Confit Carrots 4.5/5, Garlic Shrimp 5/5, Pan Seared Scallops 5/5, Truffle Fries 4.5/5, Carbonara 5/5, and Crème Brûlée 4.5/5.

We have now been here twice and have loved both experiences. The scallops in lemon risotto are delicious and so is the chocolate mousse dessert. The braised lamb pasta was great as well. Definitely will return. Great service and we did not have to wait for a table.

The host was very rude, tall dark haired young lady. Barely any eye contact, didnt greet us, walked us to the table and left. We sat outside and that was nice during good weather. Chairs out there are a bit uncomfortable. They allow dogs, which is fine, except when the customers are allowing them to drink out the glasses. Our waiter was great and attentive. We got meatballs, chicken croquettes and pizza. Chicken croqs were good. Everything else was okay for happy hour. Not the spot for me...

The majority of their tapas were really good. You can't wrong with whatever sounds good to you. Yhe dishes that stood out were the butternut squash ravioli, aracini, and shrimp garlic with that yummy buttery sauce. This place is located the Domain so the vibes are always emmaculate.

Sliders are amazing , but don't sleep on the garlic shrimp and the staff made my experience even better. Great atmosphere !!

SHOUTOUT ALEX! My friends happened to mosey into this cute AF establishment and while I was late to the party, I go to try some of their fabulous food! Ya'll the alfredo/cheese whatever pasta was to DIE for. The chicken was perfectly marinated and the noodles were similar to what you find in italy - no joke. I can't believe I lived in the Domain and never ate here before. The pizza...I don't usually mess with plain cheese pizza cuz I like my meat! But this pizza was melt in your mouth fabulous. The espresso martini was hands down one of the best in Austin. This is the perfect date spot and so cute! Check it out!
