Love this place. Situated in a weird strip mall that is mostly vacant on the east edge of Scottsdale, you know it has to be good, because it's not getting any foot traffic yet remains busy pretty much all the time. Great atmosphere and service that is very matter of fact. If you are looking for servers who faun all over you with fake smiles, this is not the place. This feels like an authentic family cooking great food for people who appreciate it. And great food it is. I've been to NY, Chicago, LA, Italy, etc etc and would put Casa Mia up against any other Italian restaurant in this price range.
There's definitely a 'local hangout' feeling at the bar; it seems like everyone there knows each other, which they probably do, and many dining customers are greeted like they eat there all the time. Make a reservation, they fill up.
They also opened a pizza joint next door that I can't wait to try next time we're in town.
