| - My wife, adult daughter, her two children and I had a wonderful dinner at Mia Bella over the recent holiday season. The restaurant is on the small size and we were glad we had an early (5pm) reservation as it filled quickly. The service was attentive and friendly. Our server Amanda impressed me by offering to discuss with the bartender the details of a specific wine which she was not familiar with. What you get at Mia Bella is a refined version of an American Italian Trattoria. The portions are large and have great flavors. My wife and I shared the Buffalo Mozzarella salad. It was delicious. For main course, I had the Frutti di Mare. It was a very large portion loaded with clams, mussels, shrimp and squid. The sauce was a light, flavorful not too spicy tomato sauce, just right to accompany the linguine and sea food.
My wife had the Pasta Bolognese. It was a generous portion with a rich, meaty, moderately spicy buttery sauce which was richly satisfying.
My daughter had the shrimp saganaki pasta which she raved about as delicious, flavorful and again very large appetizer portion. My teen age grandson had the lobster ravioli. He devoured it very quickly along with 6 pieces of warm Italian bread.
My college age vegetarian grand daughter had the meatless Mia Bella pasta. Good to know vegetarians can get a good meal there.
Our meals were topped off by sharing two servings of a very rich and delicious Tiramisu. If you want a delicious, filling Italian meal in Cleveland I highly recommend Mi Bella.
