Food was delicious. There were 3 of us and we loved everything. Charging for bread service rubbed us wrong but after tasting with the ricotta we felt it was worth it. read more

Just left the PERFECT dinner with Brittney! We love Mia Bella but this time was our anniversary and Brittney suggested the perfect app and then a Shimp pasta entree that was one of the top 5 entrees I've had in my life. She made our evening so special and topped it off with affogato for dessert. Thank you doll for making this evening so special for us. read more

Italian comfort! I grew up in Chicago, and the Italian food on the East coast is different. So used to Chicago's Little Italy and we found a similar neighborhood here. This is our 2nd time at Mia Bella and we definitely will come back again when in the area. Had the Burata caprese, eggplant parmesan, supa de pesce, & whole branzino with shrimp fra diavalo. Got the sesame bread because we needed it to sop up the olive oil in the salad and the marina in the eggplant parm! Good portions. Had to take home leftovers. Having their food really took me back home. And I'm not even Italian! Growing up with the the pasta, the sauces, soups, the Italian ices, and the real olive oil, I appreciate the traditional taste, which I found here at Mia Bella. The food felt really comforting, it was one of those "I almost cried!" moments. Last visit, had the oysters, arugula salad, and branzino Service was stellar! Shout out to Olivia and Gino! We didn't have a reservation on a Tuesday, arrived at 5PM, got seated right away. There's 2 rooms and we sat near the kitchen. Ambiance was comfortable, relaxed despite busy dinner service. Nice to watch outside activities thru window. Parking is limited in area, but fortunate to get a spot 2 blocks away. read more

The food was mouth watering; Brittany's service was knowledgeable, fast and friendly! She's clearly an asset here!! Suego was amazing; truffle shrimp pasta was delectable, even with gluten free pasta ( that wasn't same old penne), and yummy gluten free rolls that tastes like real bread!! read more

Food was excellent, well priced and imaginative Unfortunately the server did not know how to debone beramundi in spite of a request for assistance. and provided no help with deboning. In fact, she insisted that a chef is the only one who could debone an expensive fish. In other words, I would suggest that only basic dishes are appropriate at this restaurant. In my experience, well trained waiters take pride in deboning a good fish. They don't work at this restaurant. read more

Hey Bella is a very good fusion of Italian and Mediterranean. We weren't sure quite what to expect, and we absolutely loved it. Food 4*. Loved everything we ate and would order it all again. Atmosphere 5*. Service 5*. Yassine is a truly excellent server. Value: 4 1/2*. We loved Mia Bella and will return soon. They're going into our Cleveland Little Italy restaurant rotation, which is high praise. read more

The food and service are always great. The restaurant is always busy, it's that good. Parking can be a headache in that area but they do offer valet. If I had to choose a last meal, it would probably be their cheese tortellini (iykyk). Love it. read more

Mia Bella Restaurant - The cheese tortellini at the feast.... I probably got like 6 orders of it. - Mediterranean Near Me - Cleveland, Ohio

Definitely on pricier side, but if you have the funds for this place, it does not miss. Had the calamari, pasta of the day, special salad. Our waitress Candace was really kind and answered all of our questions. Interior of the place is super nice and lots of heritage. Had the calamari and a few other special dishes of the day. Definitely worth to get the italian bread if you get a "saucey" appetizer, you don't want to let any of it go to waste. Would come back again for special occasions. read more

Our first time here was less than impressive. But this time was awesome. It all started with our server, Gino, who was amazing. Informative, welcoming and friendly. Drinks were great (Old Fashioned, Amaretto Sours) but the best was the main course. The filet was delicious, well prepared and on a serving of risotto, which was flavorful and zesty. The wife had the pesto and burrata and loved it. Daughter had the shrimp scampi special and wow! Giant shrimp accompanying homemade pasta and a delicious sauce. My first experience wasn't the best but Mia Bella redeemed themselves in spades. Delicious, fun and a wonderful atmosphere. read more

Stopped here on a whim while traveling through. Surprised it was very nice inside and the staff was top-notch. I ordered the razor clams special appetizer. They were very well seasoned and flavorful however, a little too chewy for my liking compared to times I've had razor clams previously. I also had the shrimp scampi special with a Chardonnay and it was perfection. My husband had the chicken Parmesan and the pasta and sauce was delicious. The chicken could've used a little bit of salt but other than that it was a pleasant dining experience and I would go back. read more

Large restaurant in little Italy. Tastefully decorated with large windows. Parking can be challenging. The food was all delicious. Comfort food in large portions. The eggplant parmigiana and spicy calamari appetizers could have been entrees. The eggplant was lightly breaded, had just enough browned cheese and a bright and light tomato sauce, great to mop up with the delicious bread that came in bountiful baskets to the table. Cod special was cooked simply but well. It was accompanied by a small arugula salad, broccolini, and a large bed of linguini. The pasta is high quality, though not made in house. Took home leftovers and had no room for dessert. They were able to accommodate a large party (with a deposit). Looking forward to another visit when we are next in town. read more

I made reservations weeks ago for my husbands 50th birthday (just the two of us). I had let them know of the special occasion and asked that we have one of the window seats when I was making the reservation. When we arrived, they said they didn't have one and they didn't know that it was requested. There was a window seat but it looked like a 4 top. Instead of offering that table they offered us a table that the couple next to us didn't even want to sit at because it was the entrance area the kitchen and the other room. At one point two servers were speaking and their butt was almost on the table. Not the best environment for the price of the food, which is pretty good but not amazing. I had to tell our server multiple times I was vegetarian. Odd experience, we have our 10 year anniversary coming up and we won't go here. It would have been nice to have a cool place for these type of occasions but this isn't it. read more

Overall, a decent meal, but Larry David would go wild over our wobbly table and crowded seating. Have eaten at a lot of the spots in Little Italy, and just personally prefer something that feels more authentic. Tortellini was very good, my partner had classic spaghetti and felt the pasta was gritty. read more

There are so many good things to say about this Restaurant! The food was out of this world great. We had the spring salad, in house made meatballs and the truffle scampi pasta. Everything was delicious and amazing! Our sever (Yassine) was top notch! He made our dining experience a one to remember. He was very informative and professional, while being fun. I would definitely come back and would rate this restaurant as the best Italian restaurant not only in Cleveland but in the top 10 anywhere! read more

Really great spot in Little Italy! The food and service is fantastic. Recently had a lovely dinner there with friends and our server, Chrissy, was amazing. We ordered a bottle of chianti- they have quite a decent selection of wine and a good variety of prices for both bottles and glasses. Appetizers: calamari (delicious sauce with veggies and not fried which was a nice surprise) and the sesame bread service (delish bread and olive oil for dipping). My friend had the Caesar salad which I tried and I'll definitely order that next time. For my entree I had the pesto burrata pasta and it was soooo yummy. I am already looking forward to the next time I can eat it. My husband got the cheese tortellini and had nothing but great things to say. Everyone was so happy with their meals! Only reason this isn't a 5 star review is that it's very loud in the restaurant, so keep that in mind when planning. read more

Although the food was excellent and the service good we had an issue I've never encountered at a restaurant. When one of our guests asked for some more sauce to be added to his chicken Parmesan entree, the server told him it would be an extra charge of $10! I never thought I'd see this-charging for a little extra marinara sauce and not just a dollar but ten dollars!! They also didn't serve bread at the table unless you ordered and paid for it. This is a high end Italian restaurant and for the prices, they can surely include bread and some extra sauce when requested. read more

We went to Mia Bella to commemorate my mom's birthday. Our server (Brittany) was fantastic. The food was delicious. I especially enjoyed my dish which was the Ragú. It had sun-dried tomatoes, fresh tomatoes, pork, beef and veal with a generous dollop of stracciatella cheese. It was so flavorful. After dinner my mom & I toasted my grandfather with a sambuca. It wasn't too crowded because we went early on a Saturday afternoon. It's nice they offer valet because even though it wasn't crazy at the restaurant yet, Little Italy always seems to be busy. read more

Food was very good - party of four. One of our group asked for extra sauce as his chicken parm was a bit dry. Waitress said extra sauce is $10. Bread also extra. 3% upcharge if you use a credit card. I won't go here again. read more

The BEST meal I've had in Cleveland! Moved here a couple of months ago and am still new to the food scene. Heard about this place through a coworker (who said it was the best spot in Little Italy). We ordered the honey and ricotta bread course...still thinking about that dish...the bread was buttery, garlicky, SOFT yet crispy. The whipped ricotta was insanely delicious. We split the ragu, frutti di mare, and scallops. The scallops were 10/10 best bite of the night. Ragu was fantastic. That sauce tasted like it had been simmering for hours. The frutti di mare was OK (not sure if squid ink pasta is my thing yet), but the sauce had a nice spice and a bold, seafood-forward flavor. Portions were so generous and pricing was honestly fair for this 2025 economy. The ambience was classic, no-fuss Italian fare: white tablecloths, Frank Sinatra , humble staff. And best part is it felt fancy and yet no one would judge you for wearing whatever you wanted. Mia Bella is no-frills, fantastic Italian cooking. We will be back...and back...many times. read more

I got the cheese tortellini because it was highly recommended on yelp and beli. I went on a Tuesday evening and there were still a good amount of customers, so l can see why a reservation may be needed for a Friday or weekend. The spicy sauce was just the right about of spice, and the pasta was cooked to perfection. The only critique I have is that some of the peas that were served with the dish was quite undercooked and starchy/hard so it slightly ruined the texture of the dish for me which is why I had to knock it down 1 star:/ my server was very nice and my food came out quickly. read more

Excellent food yet again this evening. The crispy Brussels sprouts weren't crispy but they were still unbelievably great! Super duper flavorful- grilled flavor, salt, some balsamic and sun dried tomatoes. Just great. The shrimp saganaki was beautiful and flavorful. Super rich tomato cream sauce drowning large shrimp over several slices of robust halloumi cheese. The chef's favorite pizza was unremarkable. It had a rather dry overly chewy crust and was lacking in cheese but did have enough spicy sausage and onion topping. read more

The food was good, and the service was good, but the prices just don't make sense anymore from when I visited just a year ago. Compared to other restaurants on the block like Mama Santes and Trattoria, which offer similar food at much more reasonable prices, this place feels overpriced for what you get. They don't even provide their bread and dipping oil anymore unless you pay extra, which just adds to the feeling that they've cut back on service while raising prices. The quality has stayed the same--if not declined from when I had visited a year ago--but the cost keeps going up. There are better options nearby for the same experience at a better price. read more

Mia Bella Restaurant - Spicy Cheese Tortellini (Taste of Little Italy Award Winner) - Mediterranean Near Me - Cleveland, Ohio

We had an extra day in Cleveland and at the recommendation of a friend's brother, popped into Mia Bella for dinner. But before that, let's talk parking. On that strip, it's pretty much valet parking only. My recommendation, if you go out ~0.3 miles of the strip, there are plenty of street parking in front of the residences that you can use. Just park there and it's a straight shot walk down the sidewalk to the strip. We get there, no reservation, and they seat us immediately. Our waitress is amazing! Tells us about specials, quick to serve, great service all around. I got a glass of red, some oysters, the filet, and bread to start. Everything was tasty. Th is place is great and if you're in the area and want to get some nice dining, for Cleveland, check it out. read more

Candace was our excellent server and she couldn't have been more helpful. She knew the menu and asked the right questions to hone in on what she thought we would like. Five stars! We started with the burratta salad which was so yummy. Then we shared the Chef's Favorite pizza which was cooked perfectly and had a subtle little kick to it. Next we shared a fantastic chicken piccata which Candace had the chef make with boneless chicken breast. We topped all that off with a creme brûlée that was the best we've ever had. The only thing I would change is the location of the table which was in a very high traffic spot next to the bar. Otherwise 5 stars! read more

My boyfriend and I came here to celebrate our 3-year anniversary, and it was the perfect choice! Mia Bella is such a beautiful and classy restaurant -- ideal for a special night out. Definitely make a reservation, as it was pretty packed. The food was amazing. The whipped ricotta with honey was next-level -- creamy, smooth, and just the right amount of sweet. The ravioli was honestly some of the best I've ever had. We also loved the shrimp scampi pizza. Our server was awesome -- super friendly and really helpful when we couldn't decide what to get. You could tell they genuinely cared about making our night special. Being in Little Italy made the experience even better. The whole neighborhood is adorable and perfect for a post-dinner stroll. We'll definitely be back! read more

Phenomenal from the second we walked in through every delicious bite of our meal. Started with a dirty martini at the bar as we waited for our table to be ready - highly recommend a reservation, especially on the weekend. Bartenders are super friendly and attentive. The hostess was also wonderful and gave us a warning that our table would be ready soon so we could close our tab at the bar. Everything we ate was wonderful. Being gluten free, it's often hard to dine at Italian restaurants so the fact that they have so many options is truly so helpful. Our server was amazing and I was in love with the truffle cream sauce on the pasta special I ordered. Their traditional red sauce is also delicious - highly recommend getting something that incorporates it just to try it! Great wine list with so many options and reasonably priced without more than a 50% markup. Great experience here. Beautiful space and lovely staff. Cannot wait to return. read more

My wife and I ate here May 2026. The food was 5 star, but the noise level was very high which drops our overall rating to a 4 star. As far as the food goes, it was excellent. We started by sharing an Albanian salad. The portion was plenty for two and it was very good. My wife had the Cheese Tortellini for her entree. IT had pancetta and peas and she thought it was outstanding. (She had it last year and thought it was excellent then also). The sauce was well developed and flavorful. It was served piping hot which enhanced the flavors. It was mildly spicy and that was not at all overpowering. I had the Frutti di Mare Piccanti. The was excellent also. The shrimp were fantastic, there were plenty of pieces of calamari, and plenty of mussels. I loved the squid ink pqstq. The sauce was not at all a traditional marinara and I loved it. My food was also served very hot which I appreciated. There was enough sauce for dipping which we did although I was not happy having to pay an extra $5.00 for a few slices of bread. The service was slow and somewhat too casual for our taste. Again, our main complaint was the noise level. read more

This was our second time here, it's our go to restaurant when we are in town when we go to Cleveland Clinic. You won't find a better meatball for the appetizer.

Food was delicious and the ambience is nice. I had the chicken risotto and a friend had gluten free fettuccine Alfredo with chicken. Only caveat is when it's full it gets extremely loud and hard to hear yourself talk. It also gets a little cramped so wouldn't recommend for larger parties. There also is a 3% added fee for credit cards so just be aware of that. read more

Starting off, service was above and beyond, very helpful and we were never really left wanting anything if a little quick and assuming on more wine haha Food was good, appetizers really the stars for the most part. Meatballs a little tougher than I usually prefer, but the shrimp saganaki was fabulous, could drink that sauce, and the eggplant was also very good. The marinara was very fresh. Bread was to die for as well, great texture! Entrees at the table included risotto, pesto bucatini, Caesar salad, pepperoni pizza and I had the cheese tortellini with shrimp. It was very good, I do feel I've had better versions of this at other places but I enjoyed and took home leftovers. Pesto bucatini and the pizza were also highlights on the table. It was a bit loud in there but it was a cool vibe! They brought out cassata cake to end the meal which was solid, could've used a little more custard but very good. read more
