Mia in Manayunk is a solid choice for well-executed Italian food. We were started with fresh focaccia and olive oil, which was a great way to begin the meal. For appetizers, we shared the meatball and the gnocchi. The meatball was tender and flavorful, served in marinara, topped with whipped ricotta, and garnished with focaccia. The gnocchi was pillowy and cooked perfectly. For my entrée, I ordered the Casarecce with lemon crab crème fraîche and grilled shrimp, and it was excellent. The sauce was more than just lemony. It was creamy and rich, with sliced garlic adding real depth. The lemon added brightness without overpowering the dish, and the toasted breadcrumbs on top gave the perfect contrast in texture. The grilled shrimp were cooked just right. We sat upstairs in the enclosed rooftop area, which had a really nice ambiance. Service was about a 3/5--pleasant but a little hands-off. Overall, the food and atmosphere made it a spot I'd return to. read more

Located in the quaint village of Manayunk this Italian restaurant is very popular and very reasonably affordable. Very warm and welcoming as you walk into the restaurant with a nice long bar full of neighborhood folks. The restaurant is typical of a neighborhood restaurant with nice wooden tables and chairs with a very friendly accommodative staff. Food: For Appetizers. The meatballs are served with a creamy ricotta on top it's superb. The calamari was excellent. I did a half wedge salad that fed three of us it was huge and delicious. Then taleggio crostini with a sun-dried tomato fig spread on top WOW a must try and lastly the Roman flat bread with short rib,fig,caramelized onion and Gorgonzola cheese. MOUTH WATERING. Main course we had the fettuccine lamb ragu very flavorful. Pappardelle braised short rib very good sauce and flavorful. This is where things got crazy, we got the Amatriciana it came with sausage and conchilege pasta a NO NO, it is made with guanciale over bucatini however it was ok. read more

This Italian restaurant is solid and a fits in well with all the different establishments on Main Street! I came for brunch and enjoy the spaciousness of the 1st floor! That is an additional level and a bar with many seats! I chose to have the Baby Wedge and Short Rib Hash...my friend had the Crème Brûlée Stuffed Brioche! The wait staff was attentive and the portions of the food were generous! The meal required additional seasoning, but overall flavorful! We were celebrating our birthday's! I will return to experience more of the menu! read more

One of my fave places on main street in Manayunk! Food is always on point. I love their tiramisu espresso martini and the short rib pizza. They also have a great deal for their happy hour if you're able to make it. The service is great and they have an outdoor seating in the back, which feels very private. read more

One of my girlfriends brought me to Mia Ragazza to celebrate my birthday. This has to be a favorite for all the locals in the Manayunk area. We found parking right out front on a weekday evening. It's metered and you can conveniently pay using the Park Mobile app. Saying they have a fantastic Happy Hour menu is an understatement. The Happy Hour specials will not disappoint. We ordered the whipped ricotta with 30 minutes to spare. It was a large portion for two people. It had a hint of lemon flavor and the sliced pita bread was soft. Just a few moments before we got the whipped ricotta, we were served complimentary focaccia bread with olive oil. It was also quite delicious and salted nicely. It's vibrant and lively inside. I enjoyed the dim lighting and the music they had playing the most. The eggplant rollatini really knocked my socks off. Looking at it made my mouth water. The rollatini was fried underneath the sauce! Even though this caught me by surprise, it was a very flavorful way to change up the dish. I'm used to having it baked. You can tell the sauce is homemade and simmered to perfection. Service was fast and friendly by both the hostess and waitress. There were several customers waiting to be seated when we left, which reassures me this isn't a place that has hit-or-miss moments. They must be consistent every time. Definitely worth checking out if you're in Manayunk! read more

I love coming here for happy hour with my friends - the ambiance and food is good. I did have one bad experience here when they first opened, the food was extremely salty to the point of not really even enjoying it. A few other people had the same experience, but I haven't experienced that since. read more

The happy hour of all happy hours, it's a shame I haven't tried more items off of their full menu. I adore this place, thanks to the recommendation of my friends who travelled over an hour to come here. Burnt pepperoni pizza, short rib pizza, and the meatball left me wanting more and more and more. The cocktail was also delicious! read more

I had been wanting to try Mia for so long! I took my son here for his 13th bday because he loves Vodka pasta. We went early and were able to get Happy Hour Specials (some cheap glasses of House wines, app specials, and a selection of $11 pizzas). We opted for the vodka pasta (I got mine with burrata and it HITTTTT), the whipped ricotta and my other son demolished the pep pizza. The atmosphere was calm and ambience with very cool. Special shoutout to Nick our server. He was attentive and kind to us. A great experience and will definitely be back! read more

Delicious handmade pasta! Our favorite was the short rib parpadelle. The parpadelle pasta itself felt very thin and delicate, like light blankets, and tasted delicious! The lettuce in the Caesar salad was fresh, and the Parmesan shredded super finely. The meatball was excellent too. And the foccaccia! So chewy and satisfying. The doppio was good but not exactly my favorite flavor. I think I was a bit thrown off by the lemon but that is just my opinion. Otherwise will definitely be back again! read more

Stopped in with a colleague of mines for a quick brunch before she headed out of town. It was her second time visiting the city and she wanted to experience a different neighborhood in Philly so I brought her to my neck of the woods , Manayunk. I've eaten dinner here before and that was good; but I was even more excited to check out the brunch and Sunday happy hour here. The service was alright, nothing special but nothing bad happened either lol. Last time I sat outside, so this time I got the chance to experience the interior. The ambiance of the restaurant was comfortable and provided plenty of natural lighting which I love--Perfect for a 1-on-1 or small group outing but it is kind of small. Now for the food--starting with the sangria; very fresh and light but will catch up to you if you know what I mean lol. The variety of parties all were very tasty as we started out with that. I had the crème brûlée stuffed brioche which was impossible to eat in one setting but was absolutely delicious and probably would be what I'd order again when I return. My colleague had the short rib hash which she was able to finish and really enjoyed. Moreover, brunch was a success! Thanks Mia Ragazza read more

We celebrated our son's birthday here tonight and were so happy with the dining experience. We had an excellent waiter, delicious cocktails, and the meals were all so large we were able to eat them family style to each try a dish. The plates were the bucatini, parpadelle, the rigatoni and the pizza was absolutely delicious. The ambiance was so beautiful, like stepping into an Italian village, the beautiful paintings, decor and lighting is so intimate and romantic. 5 stars for this evening. read more

The ambience was excellent. They have indoor, outdoor, and rooftop seating. The drinks were good, and I had the rolled lasagna, and my friend had the salmon. The waiter could have been more attentive and come to the table for refills more often, which would have earned them five stars read more

Make a reservation. It's always busy here for dinner. I love the cozy, upscale vibe, and the food is incredible. I do think it's a little pricey for pasta, but it's done so well that I don't really mind. They have a nice selection of cocktails and mocktails too. The staff is always attentive and friendly. Perfect for date night or special occasions. read more

We came here for brunch and were blown away! From the start, the cocktails set the tone, fresh, creative, and perfectly balanced. We shared a large meatball as an appetizers and it was tasty and beautifully presented. Our main dishes, a flat bread pizza with braised beef and figs, caesar salad with shrimp, and a braised beef hash were high quality and cooked to perfection, showing the kitchen really knows what they're doing. The atmosphere was welcoming without being too loud, the staff very friendly, and the service very attentive without ever feeling rushed. It's rare to find a brunch spot that nails both the drinks and the food, but this place does it effortlessly. We'll definitely be coming back and recommending it to friends. read more

First time going and it was happy hour. I'd heard of this place before and had it on my list to try, so was happy when the person I was meeting with suggested it. I lucked out on getting parking right in front of the restaurant - yes, right on Main St at 4:30/4:45 on a weekday in Manayunk. Cute vibe with dimmed lights. Staff are all really friendly, greeting me with really good, positive energy and smiles when I first walked in. Bartender was cool also and helpful in choosing a drink. We ordered a few things from the happy hour menu to share: Calamari, Bruschetta and the Burnt Pepperoni pizza. Everything came out hot and fresh, and was very tasty. The price is good too! Specialty cocktails for $8?? Apps that are good portion sizes, tasty and filling for $9??? Recommend giving them a try. I plan to come back for happy hour and would want to try them for dinner sometime too. read more

Came here for brunch with a few friends a couple weekends ago. The service was extremely accommodating and friendly we got there a 12 minutes before the kitchen closed and they didn't rush us but we knew what we wanted at the same time. Food came out quick and delicious!! Drinks were strong and well made, the interior was beautiful as well. We mentioned we were celebrating a birthday and a complimentary dessert was served for our friend which was so sweet. Great place for brunch!! read more

It's times like these that I wish Yelp had half stars since I'd give my experience here a 3.5. The dining room is absolutely gorgeous, and I wish we were sat there instead of right next to the large TV and bar. I went to use the bathroom upstairs (not sure if it's accessible, if that's a concern for you make sure to call and ask!) and saw how beautiful the restaurant is in every other area. A bit disappointed to be sat in what seems to be the worst seat in the house, even with a reservation. The food was okay, honestly. For the price I'd expect a lot more favor from it. My favorite dish was the bruschetta. The bread is delicious and it tasted so fresh! I didn't feel the same with the eggplant rollatini. The dish lacked flavor, which was upsetting since the eggplant was so crispy! As someone who doesn't love salt, I was wishing there was a salt shaker on the table. We were here for my birthday and I still had a great time with my partner. Nothing was *bad* but it just wasn't *good.* I think if we were sat in the nicer area or ordered different dishes this review could be more positive. read more

Mia Ragazza - Chicken parm with fettuccine - Italian Near Me - Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

The food at Mia Ragazza is amazingly delicious and flavorful! I've dined here several times, initially for my Bday and I've had takeout. My ultimate fave is the fettuccine lamb ragu, which simply melts in your mouth. The rolled lasagna, salads and suppli appetizer were delish as well. You can tell that their food is cooked with love and a unique Italian restaurant. As for if you have a sweet tooth, the desserts are delish such as the tiramisu and cannolis. I have yet to try their brunch, however I am excitingly anticipating it soon. The customer service here was always superb and nice ambiance inside and out. Mia Ragazza is now one of my fave restaurants in Manayunk!! read more

This place has gone downhill. The Sorta Spicy Caesar was a mess. The wasabi completely overpowered everything else, so the entire salad just tasted like wasabi. The croutons were good -- unfortunately they were the only good part. The artichoke dish was cooked well, but it was absolutely drowning in a bland vinegar-butter sauce and buried under pickled onions, which killed any chance the dish had. The burnt pepperoni pizza was just bad. I could've made a better one in my oven on a sheet pan. The pepperoni themselves were tasty, but everything else about it was a miss. Then came the chicken parm. The chicken was cooked properly but had almost no flavor, the cheese tasted like they grabbed it from the corner bodega, and the pasta was so overcooked and mushy I'm honestly surprised it held its shape. Just like every other restaurant this group owns, they start off great and then slowly lose focus. Lots of potential, but bad chefs, poor execution, and lazy waitstaff bring this place way down. 2 stars -- mostly for the croutons and pepperoni. read more

Went for Saturday Brunch felt completely robbed. $14 for 4 pieces of leaf lettuce (Spicy caeser salad) & $7 for 2 little ass lemon ricotta pancakes. In addition, I ordered a Pseudo spritz, a $7 bottle of Still & a bowl of fruit. My total came to $50, robbed! You see the pictures. The quality & amount of food for the price is ridiculous. After eating my leaves & laughable size pancakes I was still hungry & asked to order something else only to be told the kitchen was closed, it was 2:44pm. My total came to $50, robbed! The quality & amount of food for the price is ridiculous. I'm never going back & won't be recommending them to anybody. read more

Came for an invited brunch hosted by Converse, LiveNation & Roots Picnic. They had the 2nd floor private room reserved. First off that 2nd floor is gorgeous. I loved the high glass ceiling that brought in all the natural light. Also the outdoor space is great for getting fresh air. During a dinner gathering or private event. The brunch drinks were incredible. My drink was the Queen of hearts but all drinks were made skillfully. Food was great I had a lightly fried calamari appetizer with red peppers and for brunch entree I had the short rib hash topped with an egg. This dish was rich and tasty. For dessert I got a bread pudding topped with blueberries, not too sweet. I don't live in Philly but if I did, I would definitely be back to eat here again. read more

A nice new addition to Main Street. Reservations are recommended. We went on a Friday evening and the place was full ! I didn't even realize how big it is, with a little courtyard in the back and bilevel seating. We were seated in the window overlooking Main Street. Perfect Date night set up . We ordered the Potato agnolotti and Margherita pizza, the agnolotti was a tad bit salty, but the pizza was fresh, perfect amount of dough and sauce. The highlights were the entrees, I loved the chicken Parm, it was bone in, with a side of garlicky fettuccine. It was perfection! (All the pasta was handmade so it was amazing !) The NY strip was amazing as well, but I am a chicken person. So happy to have a good Italian restaurant in the neighborhood. read more

Mia Ragazza is located in the former Bernie's (and previous to that Derek's) location. I'm glad they choose to following in the footsteps of Derek's more than Bernie's. While I have not had a chance to experience a regular meal, I was impressed with their Happy Hour offerings. HH runs from 4-6PM and brings you discounts on all signature cocktails, low priced pizza, as well as discounts on all apps. I loved my Italian Old Fashioned and similarly enjoyed my Raised by Wolves (although not as much as the Old Fashioned), the pizza stole the show. For $8, you get a nice sized personal pizza. I picked the shrimp and artichoke and was happy to see shrimp and artichoke on every slice. Between a pizza and an app, I left happy. Again, happy hour only review at this point. We sat at the bar and had amazing service. Overall, yes please to Mia Ragazza. read more

I came here when visiting a friend and was obsessed. To start, the server brought out the most delicious bread with oil (which is how we knew it was going to be good). My friends got the tiramisu espresso martini, which I tried and can say was delicious. I only wish they had a mocktail option since I don't love to drink. My friends got the pasta and all raved about it, but I opted for the pizza. The pizza had an amazing cheese pull and even better flavor. The portion was also huge for the price, which is wonderful since usually flatbreads and such run as a small appetizer size. But I ended up getting two and a half meals out of it! read more
