The food was tremendous. I ordered the MIA burger and my wife ordered the Seafood paella. Absolutely delicious. Our server, Kaltrina, was great. Very attentive but not “in your face”. She makes everyone in the table included in the convo. She definitely earned a good tip. And the cooks here has to get be getting PAID because they cooked tonight. Restaurant very clean. Atmosphere was great, music wasn’t blasting. We could easily have a convo without having to shout. And lastly, THE MARGARITAS! One word. TREMENDOUS! This place was amazing. Definitely making a comeback to this place for my wife and I.

They spent years fixing this place up and is beautifully renovated inside and out. It is truly unique and definitely no other place like it in the area. When you walk in it's like being transported to another dimension. Friendly staff, great service, delicious cocktails and Mediterranean menu. Six stars and ten thumbs up!

The food is consistently fresh, beautifully presented, and full of flavor — you can tell every dish is made with care and attention to detail. The atmosphere is warm and inviting, perfect for a relaxing dinner or a special occasion. The staff are friendly, attentive, and genuinely make you feel welcome from the moment you walk in. From appetizers to dessert, everything is exceptional. Highly recommend Mia for anyone looking for great food, great service, and a true local gem in Waterbury!

Beautiful vibe for celebrating a birthday, drinks are awesome 😎. The calamari is on point with the pineapple 🍍 yumm😌. My sister celebrated her Birthday and felt such high spirit she even took an airline chicken to go , food is $$ but delicious I’d say worth the experience it’s a must!

They did such a great job remodeling this establishment (think it used to be a church). We have not tried the food yet, but drinks were great. Staff very kind & the inside is very nicely decorated, you don't feel like you are in Waterbury. Will be back to try some food!

Food came out on point. Fresh, full of flavor, and clearly made by people who care what they’re serving instead of just heating up regrets. Portions were right where they should be, not stingy, not ridiculous. Service was smooth and attentive without hovering like a nervous helicopter. Staff actually checked in at the right moments, which feels rare enough to deserve applause. Atmosphere sealed it. Clean, stylish, relaxed, and lively without being loud or chaotic. The kind of place you can enjoy dinner, hold a conversation, and actually want to stay a bit longer. Came for dinner, left impressed. Definitely coming back.

Stopped here for lunch with another person, and we were very surprised by the inside of the place. It was very, very modern very clean. The service was wonderful. Our waitress was very friendly and she even took us on a slight tour of the place. Definitely will go back. We both ordered burgers with fries typical lunch, but it was very tasty. Overall we enjoyed our ourselves very pleasant lunch.
