Phoenix isn't exactly known for its seafood, so we had to do some digging to find a good dinner…read morespot. After researching local recommendations, we came across this place and were immediately intrigued. Lobster rolls for under $20? That's almost unheard of these days! We decided to take a chance, and I'm glad we did. This is definitely a unique concept. Orders are placed online or through the drive-thru kiosk, and everything is cashless--you simply tap your card to pay. There isn't a dining room or seating area, so it's more of a grab-and-go experience. We ordered the warm lobster rolls with butter, and they did not disappoint. The butter comes conveniently packaged on the side, making it easy to spread over the roll. The lobster was flavorful, the roll was delicious, and the value for the price was outstanding. We enjoyed it so much that we immediately told our family members who live in the area that they needed to check it out for themselves. If you're looking for a tasty lobster roll without spending a fortune, this spot is definitely worth a visit!

I just paid $22.99 for a jumbo size lobster roll. What i got was a wad of lobster in a texas toast folded in half. This is ridiculous. I really thought they messed up and gave me a regular size or even small. Went back to the walk up window and asked if this was right and they confirmed it was right. The girl confirmed she weighed it out to 5.5 oz. Pictures below. Oh year I put the key fob in the tray so you can see how small the sandwich is as a reference. I was expecting a meal, got myself an expensive appetizer, Next time i'll go to jimmy johns and have a giant sandwhich for the same price. That will last me two meals. Can cross this off my list.

We did go to the sit down area one time for a pizza. It's not the best, but it does the job if you're hungry. The only gelato flavor I liked so far is the mint chocolate chip. Chicken on any meal that I've had so far can sometimes be on the dry side. In fact, most food options here leave you feeling kind of dry in the mouth - on purpose? I'd like some soup options to feel like I'm getting something more nourishing once in a while. In terms of beverages, I try to avoid drinking alcohol and soda nowadays. It just doesn't agree with my body like it used to. It would be great if they could add some kombucha options (GT's or Humm) or any of the new apple cider vinegar based sodas or probiotic sodas. They'd probably get more business from me if they just improved the menu. I'm usually already there for the games - just please consider people who are trying to be a little healthier when developing your menu!

Located within a professional office building with tons of outdoor parking, a few handicap stalls and a few shaded areas to park away from the blazing Phoenix heat. I ordered an amazing sandwich that had loads of pastrami in it. I forgot the name of it but it's one of the specialties on the menu. Food was made fresh and fast. Not too much to say about the customer service. You just kind of order and wait for your food to be made. I first came here around 2022 and I still come here every now and than. This is one of those hole in the wall places that's worth giving a try. You'd never know this place exists if you don't actually work in this professional office building. Give it a try, the prices are great!!!

I've never been a fan of Brussel Sprouts but Osteria Mia has made me a believer. The balsamic adds a little zest to the gorgonzola and pancetta. Ive also never been a fan of peas but again Osteria Mia has made me a beleiver by adding them to their arancini! They offer 6 different types of bruschetta and honestly every one of them is delicious. Some of our favorites are the fig jam, prosciutto, goat cheese and balsamic, the Taleggio cheese and apricot mostardo as well as the mozzarella, tomatoes and basil pesto. The orecchiette is creamy without being "soupy". The amount of Italian sausage and broccolini are just enough to add to the pasta without taking over the whole dish. My favorite is the Pasta Norcina. The truffle and garlic cream sauce is rich but not overpowering. Sausage, mushrooms and pecorino ramano are the perfect additions to put this dish over the top! If you're in the mood for pizza the Funghi pizza is fantastic. I'm a sucker for anything with truffles. Mozzarella, gorgonzola and ricotta blend perfectly to make this pizza delectable. If you have room for dessert the tiramisu and connolis are a must. Their dessert menu changes but we've had everything from lemon ricotta cheesecake to chocolate orange cake and they've all be equisite. Service has always been spot on with prompt service and knowledgeable staff. We often order solely off their recomendations. Osteria Mia has amazing happy hour specials as well!

And the funny thing is, I was only doing takeout! After being treated so warmly just picking up my food, I'm already eager to come back and actually sit down for a meal in the restaurant.

I ordered the Salma House Special, their take on sour cabbage rolls stuffed with ground beef and rice, served with mashed potatoes and pita. This was absolutely mind-blowing good. Hearty, flavorful, and exactly the kind of home-cooked meal I was craving. I also picked up the chicken noodle soup, which featured tender chicken and fresh herbs. It was light but incredibly comforting and tasted like something made from scratch with care. Of course, I couldn't stop there and also grabbed two bureks, one cheese and one spinach. Both were generous portions, flavorful, and delicious. They made for the perfect savory additions to the meal. But the desserts were the real standouts! I tried two different desserts, and both were unbelievably fresh, creamy, and utterly craveable. They were the kind of desserts where you take one bite and immediately want another.

The price is very reasonable and the portions are good. I stumbled on this place some random taco Tuesday and I keep going back. It's my new favorite spot. The crunchy beef tacos are some of my favorite, the pastor street tacos and the enchiladas we've had and been so happy with. I will be working my way through the menu...the green salsa I could drink with a straw. I'd probably drink the red too but it's spicy (in a good way) so that is consumed sparingly. I don't know how I have passed this by for so many years but I'm so happy to have found this new favorite spot and it's going to be in the rotation of regulars! Don't me like me and pass this one by.

They threw in some chips into one of our burrito boxes, chips are good and taste pretty fresh but they got chewy I think because of the moisture from the cooked burrito?
