Food was above average as well as service. We thought the meal service was vey slow with not many in restaurant

First time dining at this location. Always heard others say food was good. They were right. We enjoyed their Bianca pizza, Frutti Di Mare, Short Rib Radiatore and Gemelli entrees. All were a delicious array of flavors to satisfy even the most grumpiest Italian. Spices and sauces a hit. The homemade pasta is the star of the show. We concluded with Pistachio gelato and the Crème Brûlée. Fine ending to a great Italian supper. All that was missing was bread. Italian restaurants are well known for serving bread with meals. Staff looked very busy. A look of seriousness projected on faces. Be patient. It's a large establishment compared to their other restaurants in the valley. Don't be dismayed when you walk in the doors. It may not look like an Italian restaurant. The smell eminating from the kitchen put me at ease. I hope they plan to liven up the place with a few plants and decor. Optics leaves a lasting impression. I gave it 4 stars because of their food which is ultimately the reason why we dined. Food remember the good tasting food. Cheers! read more

My wife and I went here for our anniversary. A few people at my work mentioned it and so we went. The servers are what saved this place for me. Polite and gave recommendations since it was our first time. We got the truffle fries, arancini, margherita pizza and the tiramisu. We were going to get pasta because I read it was hand made. When we sat down the waitress told us about the pre made pasta. So it was a little confusing so we went with pizza hoping it was a safe bet. The truffle fries were pretty much McDonald fries with no seasoning. Relying heavily on the "truffle aioli" which there was minimal on them. My wife thought it was basically mayo squirted on them. The Arancini texture wise was pretty solid just a little bland for my taste but overall the best thing we ordered. The pizza was cooked alright but the basil appeared to be old leafs mixed with new ones and just big leaves on there instead of cut which I've seen on other pictures of theirs on google. When you look at other pictures of what people have got from them on google ours seem to have lacked any purpose when being made. The tiramisu to me seemed to be similar to one you could buy at a grocery store. The place was clean when we went there was about 3 tables being used. When leaving my wife said she would've rather gone to oreganos or babbos read more

I had initially left a 3-star review, after the owner decided to have a temper tantrum, I changed my review to one star. The owner and his wife think it's okay to walk around their restaurant drinking alcohol. It definitely would have been better if you were just sitting at the bar because people probably wouldn't have noticed it. And your juvenile daughter was running around INSIDE the bar area with her soda. If you think any of this is professional or acceptable, IT'S NOT. I am entitled to my opinion. The fact you're so petty about it shows you're unprofessional and immature. I will definitely tell all of my friends what happened and how you responded. We will never be back. read more

Osteria Mia - Mario's temper tantrum in response to my review. He's so unprofessional and petty. - Italian Near Me - Surprise, Arizona

Enjoyed this restaurant with clients for a business dinner. Our server was kind, knowledgeable and very attentive. The restaurant was clean, had a great atmosphere and the food was delicious. Appetizers, entrees and desserts were all amazing. I wish I had grabbed our servers name to specifically recognize her. Great overall experience! read more

My first time here since I live nearby and heard great things about it. The menu was simple which I like meaning they have specialty dishes, but they do well in. The atmosphere was chill the dining room looks like it was type of warehouse feel to it. But classy. The service was good. We ordered an appetizer two meals and a mocktail. Overall, the food was good. A little expensive, but I can see why it was worth the price. I would come back again to try different items. read more

We enjoyed a good Friday evening meal for the first time here at Osteria Mia in Surprise, AZ. I noticed when walking in that the seating here is very open with a cafeteria feel. There's not much to absorb noise, with no walls or noise-absorbing surfaces. There are tables and long booth seating as well as high back chairs and tables, and bar seating. Patio tables as well. This spot was packed on a Friday night and everyone seemed to be loving it here. We were told by the hostess it would be a 20-30 minute wait to be seated but got taken to a table in around 10 minutes. We had a great server, Stephanie! She was cheerful and fun. She gave me recommendations and helped me decide on a main course too. We ordered: - MEATBALLS to share to start - POMODORO, PARMIGIANO, CROSTINI. Decent tender meatball. Really enjoyed the marinara with fresh garlic flavor. Drool. - CAMPANELLE x2 - GRILLED CHICKEN, CREMINI MUSHROOMS, PEAS, RED WINE DEMI CREAM SAUCE, PECORINO. I absolutely loved this dish! Full of flavor. I adore peas and pasta. I also love mushrooms and pasta - a prefect marriage. Every bite of pasta was delicious. It tasted homemade. I asked Stephanie and she said that yes, indeed, the pastas are all made in house with exception to the gluten free pasta and the gnocchi. Hubs said that this dish didn't have enough flavor for him. Different strokes I guess. - Cherry Cannoli to share for dessert - Yummy! Good fresh fried pastry shell and rich and flavorful cream inside I only finished half my meal so Stephanie brought a to-go container to the table and transferred my plate into the container. read more

We ordered for take out because not everyone in the family was feeling well so I can't comment on the dining in experience, however the restaurant looked roomy and clean! I ordered the Short Rib Radiatore, Campanelle, Lupara, Americano Pizza, & the Truffle Fries. When I arrived, our orders had just came out so they were ready just on time as communicated to me over the phone. All were big portions, and the entrees tasted really good! We are so excited to have another Italian restaurant that's not chain restaurants in town. We look forward to dining in soon! read more

We visited this new Osteria Mia location about two weeks ago and were very impressed. Our server, Janelle, took great care of us and answered our various questions about the menu. We started off with the focaccia and the arancini. Both came out fairly quickly and were a hit. The sauce that topped the arancini was heavenly and made me want to get something with a red sauce for my entree. As such, I ordered the lasagna, which Janelle assured me was a great choice. It was a hearty slice and tasted amazing. My mother was really happy with her dish as well. We did not try a pizza with this visit, but we definitely plan to return and sample more of the menu. read more

Can I give this 6 stars? 7 stars? Seriously: THIS is what the west valley residents have been waiting for! The service was wonderful, cocktails superb, excellent Italian wine list,... scratch kitchen. Everything made to order. I honestly cannot stress enough: worth every penny, worth your time, worth the calories! Relax, don't be rushed, and enjoy a lovely dining experience. I can't wait to return! read more

The service, atmosphere and food were good. Place is very clean. Although I wouldn't recommend the stuffed artichokes, the rest is fantastic. We had focaccia, campanelle pasta from the dinner menu and the pasta forcing. It was a delicious. Pasta is all homemade and al dented. You can ask for the pasta to be cooked more if you want, but we were happy. The bread was to die for and the dipping oil was good. The pastas had some of the best sauce flavors I have had on the west side of the valley. For dessert we had Chocolate Gelato and Ricotta cheesecake. Both were devoured quickly. read more

Wife and I tried this place twice. The food is pretty good. Tried the pizza and sandwiches and pasta and fish special they had. The food is good. Had a few tummy issues for me and the wife after eating the pasta ?? But other wise we like the food and want to try it again. The service was mostly good. I think they need more staff. And it has a nice look to it. read more

Interior and atmosphere has no character at all. A big open box serving Italian food...food was average. Waiter brought out Parmesan cheese in a shaker bottle. Fake chees at a sit down itailiyeestairant. Bartender drinking her personal drink behind the bar, tacky. Hostess needs a lot of polish. Half the small crown in ree shirts and the others of us put in some effort to dress up a bit. Wouldn't come back as there is simply nothing special about this pop up Italian restaurant that appears to have put little effort into the guest experience. read more

This isn't "authentic" Italian food, as some claim. It's barely an Olive Garden, without free breadsticks. lol. Don't order orecchiette expecting it to be anything close to authentic. And if they want to at least try to be authentic, help the staff with how to pronounce their menu items. Wasn't absolutely horrible, but not good enough for us to ever go back here. read more

Osteria Mia - orecchiette, just some machine made pasta... definitely not Puglia authentic. - Italian Near Me - Surprise, Arizona

The staff is very friendly and helpful as it was our first time in the restaurant. Highly recommend their pizzas. I ordered the Greco and it was amazing! The burrata is pretty good. Cocktails, wine and beer list is pretty decent as well. We'll return to try more of their offerings. read more

Finally a place in surprise that makes fresh pasta and mozzarella daily. Food is incredible. This is the family owned business we should support. Been several times already and had some amazing dishes. Lasagna is top notch as well as the pizzas and pastas. Recommend the burrata appetizer and arancini to start with. Drinks are very good as well and inside is very comfy and open. Great addition to our city! Here is the valentines day specials we had. Both incredible. Chicken saltiboca with truffle stuffed gnocchi and Branzino. . read more

Meet friends there this evening and we had three great entrees, a delicious appetizer and two deserts! The price was reasonable and staff there were fantastic! Especially Kristi! We will certainly be back! read more

Friendly and attentive staff with good recommendations. We had one of the pizzas and others in our party and pasta dishes that looked good.

Came in for dinner while visiting town for the weekend. Nice environment, very friendly and knowledgeable staff. they stated everything was made in house as a scratch Italian kitchen. I had the braised rib pasta. Very flavorful and tender excellent choice. The only reason why they do not get five stars and it was a little disappointing that if you're going to be a homemade and house kitchen, you have to be able to have fresh bread. No bread available very disappointed in that part but that was a matter of detail. Everything else was very good. read more

Amazing from the very beginning before we ever got there!! We set a reservation for 6:00, but after a few people in our party had trouble figuring out if that would work, we decided to change the reservation (on a Thursday) to 6:30. They more than accommodated. Reservation set for 6:30!! Perfect! Half the party arrived 20 minutes early and that wasn't a problem. They made sure the table as ready and sat the first few to arrive. Offered drinks and apps and were super friendly!! Once everyone arrived, the great service continued. Our server, Jennifer, was amazing!!! She was very attentive and if she happened to be busy, the manager brought out shots we ordered and checked on us. All the food was AMAZING!!!! We got some apps (bruschetta board, fried mozzarella, & meatballs) and they were so good! Entrees were enjoyed by everyone...no one had a single complaint. Even the 4-year old, who tasted what was on everyone's plate, gave a huge smile and double thumbs up!!! I do wish there was an option to add extra protein to a dish, and maybe there is; we just didn't ask. The staff was amazing. The food was amazing. The drinks were amazing!! I actually really enjoyed this place and will totally go back again. Don't let the fact that it's in a "complex" deter you!!! read more

Kept hearing about this new restaurant from friends in Sun City Festival. Our server, PM B, was extremely attentive and both the food and wine were very good! We ordered the focaccia bread and it was the best focaccia we've ever had; not hard like a brick or over seasoned, just a great texture and flavor. The Truffle Hill Chardonnay was so good, the correct temperature and they offered us a taste prior to ordering. We so appreciated that. Calamari was nicely done and the Tagliatelle Bolognese was delicious as well. The entire staff had a refreshingly enthusiastic attitude. Finally...a restaurant with good food, great service and a nice atmosphere close by, because our restaurant in Sun City Festival is awful due to inept mismanagement. We will travel... read more

Great fresh Italian food, ambiance and service. The area and location is great for this specialty restaurant. Loved it. read more

Food was so fresh and delicious. The products they used seemed top quality. So many restaurants charge same kind of prices and they switch out lower end quality, which in long run they will lose business, 100x better than eating at Olive Garden. We had an appetizer and pizza-which was unbelievable. The only thing I wasn't fond of was the Bloody Mary -I ordered -I said just a little spicy but it seemed like there was a teaspoon of pepper and a lot of tobacco sauce, so be specific if you order a drink like that. I couldn't even drink it. read more

Simple yet elegant atmosphere with great service and amazing food. Everything tasted fresh and authentic, finally a really good Italian restaurant in the city of Surprise. We'll definitely be back! read more

Service was terrible! Our server was nowhere to be found! Finally she appeared said she was on the phone. Food was good but needs to improve in customer service. read more

Food was delicious and service was excellent. Will be back I plan to recommend to my fiends

The food is beyond delicious ! WE has a party of 12 and we all sampled each other's dishes. I'm gluten free and the pasta was the best I've ever had. I'd like to have more gluten free options on the menu-such as meatballs, chicken Parmesan, lasagna. Short rib pasta was very flavorful. Gelato served in paper cup with plastic spoon, why? read more

Excellent food, very good atmosphere, good service... very good experience I hope to return soon.

Great service great food made to order so it takes longer, but it was well worth the weight definitely will be back!

My friend and I recently visited Osteria Mia in Surprise, AZ, which opened two weeks ago. The space is incredibly large with high ceilings, and everything was spotless, including the restrooms. The service was friendly and good. I ordered the spaghetti carbonara, which was superb - perfectly cooked and balanced. However, for $19, the portion was surprisingly small, barely more than a tasting sample. To make matters worse, it came with nothing else, not even bread or a side salad. My friend ordered a similar dish, which had a slightly larger portion, but wished they had offered soup or salad with it. I hope they reconsider their price-to-portion ratio and offer something on the side so you don't feel like they are nickel and diming you to death! read more

Ate at Osteria Mia May 26. I ordered the sausage pizza and it arrived lukewarm. It was also burnt on the bottom and tasteless. Do not order this pizza. My husband ate a piece and we agreed that it was the worse pizza we have had. My husband ordered the lasagne and it was covered with too much sauce. We will not return to this restuarant. read more

Went there after looking at pictures online of wood fired pizza unfortunately surprise restaurant uses a regular oven and the pizza was about as good as the frozen ones at Costco. That's a bummer I was excited to get wood fired pizza in surprise but no luck. Anti pasta also not great. I'll keep my 60 bucks thx. read more

Failed to provide an expected Italian ambiance. Service was okay. Food was less desirable (Arancini were soaked in sauce, green salad was just that, the pizza Bianca had the cheese concentrated in center, experienced a new definition of stuffed artichoke (NOT)). If you expect bread on table, you have to order it. Ma Che' questo! read more

We went the first day of the soft opening and have been there everyday so fat. The cocktails are great. Food and service is - 5 star experience. Everything is delicious! Highly recommend! read more

Over-priced, over-hyped, average food. After a long wait and a packed restaurant, my pasta was WAY under cooked. Like crunchy under cooked. I told the manager who was very nice and offered to replace it but after waiting so long to eat, I just chalked it up to, "we're never going back". read more

This place is amazing! The food is fantastic and the best Italian food you can find in Arizona. The staff is all so nice & welcoming, and I love the clean ambiance of the spot and all the windows. 100% would recommend & can't wait to go back & try more of the menu! read more

Good. But had to request additional meat on antipasti. At first wait staff seam to rush me... I was not in a hurry (at $12 a glass of wine). I told her I would raise my hand when I needed her. She complied. 3rd time here. Would recommend. Food good, but not in abundance. Quiet, off the path of the noise of other things. read more
