Truly the best dish on the menu, in my opinion. They were pretty busy but we didn't have to wait on a table. The fettuccini noodles are perfect and fresh. The ambiance isn't super romantic if you are looking to impress on a date night. It's more for families I'd say. They do have a room you can have for a large gathering. It's a perfect restaurant for my family and something on the menu for everyone.

We were really looking forward to trying it again. A bit disappointed on this trip. The food seemed just ok this time. The salad was nothing special and the taste of the food did not meet the high expectations from our previous visit. It was hot and tased ok, but not exceptional. The bigger issue was the service was not great. The staff seemed rattled. We were sitting right next to the drink station and could hear their chatter and frustration. In fairness, It was a Sunday afternoon and the church crowd had filled the restaurant. That may have contributed to the service issues and our disappointment.

There is no complimentary bread but the appetizer did come with a few pieces of focaccia. The meatballs were delicious! My only complaint is that it only came with 4 small meatballs. I got the Pacherri pasta which was a wide noodle and braised beef. The sauce is made from the beef as well as olive oil and Parmesan. I think I would've preferred a more flavorful sauce and can't say I'd recommend this particular dish to friends but the pasta was still enjoyed. My boyfriend got the pumpkin ravioli, which was very good. Would recommend. There are so many delicious sounding menu options and we're excited to come back and try some of the other features !

And the wife had the Veal which was so flavorful and tender. It's a decent size with pasta on the side. Everything about this restaurant was wonderful. Give this place a try. You won't be upset.

I'm originally from the St. Louis area, known for its Italian food. This was like a great local mom & pop in that area. Great menu with ample variety. My wife's chicken hollon, had a delicious smoky flavor. She said it's a new favorite. I went with their take on toasted ravioli and their take on an Italian sub sandwich. I prefer toasted ravioli stuffed with meat, but their three cheese was a great substitute. Served with an authentic marinara sauce. The sandwich was one the best subs I've had with great flavor. Served with your choice of side. Like I said, take the drive and stop in.

My mom read an article in Southern Living featuring this restaurant as the best in Alabama -- or…read moresome similar lofty accolade. We were pleased to find it was in easy driving distance for us, and so off we went to give it a go. Located in the small downtown of Oneonta, we didn't have trouble finding nearby street parking during lunch time. Although the entrance and exterior is low-key, the interior is spacious, airy, and just classy enough for a restaurant that walks a nice line between a finer dining experience and an accessible but high-quality lunch spot. Lofty ceiling, exposed brick, etc. It wasn't super crowded but they were doing a solid business for a midweek lunch. Our waitress was spectacular. She was an older Latina woman with a moderately thick Spanish accent; I'm not sure if she gave us her name. She walked my dad to the restroom when we first arrived, patiently answered questions (both menu and non-menu related...my endlessly curious dad can and will chat up anybody!!), and provided great recommendations. She brought us to-go drinks and boxes without asking (though we definitely needed them!). She was just so perfectly attentive, warm, and gracious. HUGE kudos! Their menu consists of pasta dishes and upscale American and Italian classics like filet mignon and chicken Parmesan. They also have a few more lunch-y items like a steak sandwich. Entrees come with bread and salad for the table. There are jars of delicious, buttery, smooth and herbaceous olive oil waiting on each table to go with the bread. It was perfect with the warm rolls that were brought out to our table. We couldn't stop eating it. The shared salad was large and loaded with fresh vegetables and other goodies, including banana peppers, olives, tomatoes, and red onions. The house dressing was lightly acidic and enjoyable. We got a plate of fried ravioli to share to start. It was delicious! The cheese was SO gooey and there was no shortage of it inside the crispy, salty, breaded ravioli. The dipping sauce wasn't overly sweet and complemented it perfectly. For entrees, my dad ordered a blackened chicken salad, my mom got fettuccine Alfredo with chicken and vegetables (I know she kept mushrooms and peppers but asked for no broccoli), and I got crispy chicken Parmesan. They will grill the chicken if you prefer. This came with my choice of one of my three pasta sauces: tomato basil, Alfredo, or creamy tomato basil, which is half and half tomato basil/alfredo. At the encouraging of our waitress, I went with the creamy tomato basil. Everything was absolutely delicious. My dad's salad was probably the weak link though was still quite tasty -- serves him right for getting a salad at an Italian restaurant. ;). It was huge and the chicken was cooked very well, not at all dry. Mom absolutely loved hers and was very impressed at how beautifully and subtly all the different flavors played together. The creamy tomato basil sauce on my pasta was absolutely fantastic and a great recommendation. The spaghetti was cooked perfectly. My chicken Parmesan was maybe the *tiniest* bit overcooked (edges were a little chewy), but the inner pieces were succulent and the breading and melted cheese on top was delightful. Everything tasted so fresh and flavorful. It was truly a delightful dining experience. This would be a great road trip for special occasions like an anniversary or even just for a fun way to treat yourself. Please give them a try if you're anywhere nearby. I hope to return in the future despite the distance.

We now drive around 50 minutes one way to dine here. The food is consistently outstanding--elevated dishes that feel like something you'd find at a five-star restaurant. The bread is perfection (10/10), the fried ravioli is a must (10/10), and the Land and Sea is unforgettable. You truly have not experienced sauce until you've tasted the one on that dish. And then there's the bread pudding. Over the years we've made it our mission to try bread pudding at some of Birmingham's top restaurants, and nothing has ever come close to what Mio Sogno serves. It's simply the best. Mio Sogno is a true gem, and we're so glad to have been along for the journey as it's grown. Highly recommend.
