    This came highly recommended. What a disappointment. My major problem is the tip on the final bill was changed, and I was reprimanded at work because of it. I got a cauliflower pizza everything was frozen or canned not a-lot of fresh items on the pizza. The side salad was good. Service was fine. This might be a fun date night spot, just pass on the pizza.

    I have been here once since moving to Cullman. We waited for an indoor table, so our wait was 15-20 minutes. Their wait area was small, so some people were waiting outside as well. The service was excellent. The waitress let us know ahead of time that they make everything fresh to order, so it would be about 30 minutes for our food. My friends and I ordered baked pasta, so it did take almost the full 30 minutes to get our food. We had salad and bread as we waited. Food was hot and delicious. I would go back again. if you decide to go, be prepared for a wait.

    They have good food. Although sometimes the service can get a little slow. But it's worth the wait.

    The best of the best! We drive from out of town to enjoy. The best lasagna made. Mrs. Bynum's recipe can't be beat.

    Loved the atmosphere and service but the food is terrible. If you want good Italian food, you'll have to go somewhere else.

    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've been dining at Mio Sogno since their early days in the little building by the putt putt…read morecourse, and it has remained one of our favorite spots ever since. 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.
