My husband and l recently ate here and found the restaurant to be very nice inside and the wait staff was excellent. The FOOD was HORRIBLE! Small portions for the price and NO FLAVOR. l was expecting a rich tomato basil garlic sauce and I could not even tell l was in an italian restaurant. The sauce was the worst excuse for italian sauce l have ever tasted ..very bland..very little flavor and not much of it. l would expect an italian restaurant to have a handed down sauce from some ancestor that is awesome and considered the BEST by all. This tasted like it came out of an institution size can. We were shocked that it was so bad. My husbands meal was supposed to have a garlic lemon wine sauce and you could not even tell there was any sauce on it. No lemon flavor, no garlic flavor or visible and no wine flavor. Absolutely NO FLAVOR!! We were very disappointed and can not believe anyone would give this restaurant a good rating since ours was so bad. The bread was good though..they say it is made right there. If they are making the sauce there...they should find someone's old handed down tried and true recipe because theirs misses by miles. Get a real italian recipe and we might come back. The service and atmosphere was good. l guess now we know why we had no trouble getting a table on Friday night. WIth so many northerners moving down, there is bound to be someone that has a great sauce recipe..FIND THEM and we will come back. Frankie's on Morehead has better sauce and food. The amount of food for the price was not good either especially since pasta is a low cost food...A BAD EXPERIENCE ALL AROUND I AM SORRY TO SAY.
Pros: AMBIENCE AND WAIT STAFF EXCELLENT
Cons: FOOD HORRIBLE

My husband and I joined friends back in January at Mia Famiglias. None of us had eaten there before, but we all had our "clipper coupons" and decided to give it a try. So glad we did! The atmosphere is wonderful! Gorgeous chandeliers, lots of brass, candles on the tables and the huge fireplace (which was roaring on that cold January night). The waitstaff was friendly and knowledgeable. The cocktails were expertly mixed and the food was divine! The pasta is homemade and the salads are creative and fresh. My husband had a dish that wasn't even on the menu. (The waiter asked the chef to prepare it just for him and he did)! I had a wonderful steak with mushrooms and Gorgonzola cheese. So Good! Our second visit was our anniversary. I called and made reservations and mentioned to them that it was our special day. The waitstaff treated us like royalty. There was even a long stem rose set at my place when I was seated. The food was once again memorable and lovely. Mia Famiglias has become my husbands and my "place". Mia Famiglias is truly a terrific restaurant and has the ability to serve up a romantic dinner, a perk up for the middle of the week, or a special function. Highly recommended! We have since eaten at Mia Famigias several times and are planning my birthday dinner there next week.
Pros: Ambiance, Food, Drinks, Waitsatff
