| - After taking in the Orchid Mania at the Cleveland Botanical Gardens, we were looking for a nice quiet spot to have an early Sunday dinner. After searching the Yelp app, Mia Bella sounded like the perfect place. And we were not disappointed at all!!
A short drive up Mayfield Rd from the Gardens, this corner road restaurant was perfect! Not crowded but various patrons were enjoying the pleasant surroundings. (A couple sitting behind us happened to be the same couple who asked me to take their picture in front of an Orchid display earlier, so they too picked a great spot.)
After being seated and given both the wine list and menu, we were promptly attended to by our server who gave us the time we needed to review the delights, since this was out first visit. Our pre-meal drinks and fresh bread/butter were delivered as we made out decisions! On a rare occasion we both picked the same dish albeit slightly altered. My wife picked the ravioli, stuffed with cheese, while I altered mine to be veal stuffed.
Both dishes arrived quickly and heated to our liking, hot! (How many times do you order a dish and no matter what the time, it arrives at a temp not to your liking? Won't happen here!) In addition to the stuffed ravioli, the dish also contained fried artichoke! Now you mush know I am not a fan of this item but I now am!! What a delight to the dish. Overall the plates were wonderful and highly recommended.
Since we both skipped breakfast, we indulged in desert! Okay we split it but it was a perfect ending, Bailey Gelato. Two scoops, one for each was a perfect way to end the meal.
If you have not visited Mia Bella all I can say is, "Get a move on it and get there!" A true diamond among many on "The Hill"!
