Manager Daryl and our server,Crystal are terrific.Food came out quick and hot.A great Saturday night.Great Italian outside of the Hill.

Great Italian dishes in a festive setting. We went when they had decorated for Christmas- so fun! The fresh bread at the table was very good. For an appetizer, toasted ravioli is the way to go. It is some of the best I have ever had. For my meal, I went with the spaghetti and meatballs. Amazing! The flavor was excellent, and the meatballs were tender and juicy, not dried out or too dense. They were baseball-sized, so I only made it through half of a meatball at lunch. Everyone at the table enjoyed their dishes: tortellini, rigatoni, pizza. Our server was very kind and attentive. She boxed our leftovers for us. The only drawback- parking was limited for lunch on a Friday. There are other popular shops and restaurants sharing the parking lot. I'd get there early in case you need to circle back for a spot! read more

I haven't been here in quite a few years. We try to go for dinner and there isn't usually available parking. The parking lot is far too small for the businesses where Mia Sorella is located. I was going to lunch with a friend and she suggested going here. While the parking lot was pretty full, I did find a space! We were seated right away. I think the dining room was about 80% full. I don't know how many servers there were, but the one we had seemed to be very busy. Our drink order was taken right away. About 10 minutes later, our server came by and asked what my drink order was. It was a Diet Coke - nothing special! There are so many good things in the menu and it took us a few minutes to make our choices. We were chatting so I don't know how long it took for our food to come out, but it seems like we got it fairly quickly. Walking through the dining room as we were leaving, I noticed how shabby it's getting in there. The tables and chairs have taken a beating over the years. I think it's time for a refresh. I'll go back - but it probably for lunch! read more

I recently had a group lunch here based on a friend's suggestion. I can't believe I haven't been here sooner! I LOVE Trattoria Marcella so once she told me it's the same owners, I was delighted. Always happy to discover a unique, locally owned restaurant in the county. Mia Sorella is in a central location & conveniently off 141. However, the parking lot is shared with many other popular businesses so you parking can be an issue. Right now, it is decorated for the holidays & feels warm & festive. The food was delicious. My friend ordered toasted ravioli for the table which I'm not always a fan of. These are easily my faves in the area! Perfectly stuffed and fried, not too chewy nor heavy. Very delicious. I was between ordering Margherita pizza, chicken caesar panini, or spaghetti and meatballs. I ended up ordering the Margherita pizza (Neapolitan style - STL style was also an option). It was delicious though the dough was a little soft. They also provide a basic bread service (sliced bread & butter), which I always appreciate. I'll just have to come back to try the panini & pasta ;) Another thing - they don't take reservations so expect to wait and try to dine at an off-peak time if possible. As frequent diners of Trattoria Marcella, I already told my husband I want to take him here. I will be back! read more

We were visiting from out of town for a soccer tournament, and this restaurant came highly recommended to us. We started with the ravioli appetizer, which was amazing. Our pastas were all made fresh and the red sauce and white sauce were both some of the best that I've ever had. We can't wait to come back and bring family members the next time we are visiting. read more

Mia Sorella - Italian Near Me - Ballwin, Missouri

Currently they are decorated for the Christmas season! Bring the family and cheers with your friends and colleagues at their happy hour and stay for dinner. They offer Italian inspired dishes for everyone. I started with a warmed mulled wine and beef carpaccio. The beef was buttery and so thin. My guest had the grilled chicken caesar salad panini and I enjoyed the veal piccata. The flavors were bold and each bite stood out on their own. I was too full on table bread and my meal to try dessert but I will be back. For accessibility the entrance and restroom doors were on the heavier side and the marked accessible bathroom was odd. It had an open slit in the door and the toilet was tall where the toilet tissue was very low. I had to maneuver to reach it. read more

Came for dinner on a Tuesday night after happy hour. As we arrived it was very busy. The parking lot is shared with multiple businesses and resturants so parking can get pretty tight. We were surprised to see how busy it was ok a Tuesday but we were able to get seated quickly. We had 6 in our party and they sat us in a really tight booth. It's not a place that can accommodate large groups. For starters we ordered toasted ravioli. The were big and so good. We wish we ordered 2 but we'll remember next time. Our entrée came and they were nice size portions. My boys ordered an original cheese pizza and kids pasta with shrimp. The portion was huge. A couple people ordered the lasagna which looked really good and was told it taste good. I had a small salad with salmon. The salad was good and salmon cooked perfectly. We didn't try desert because what they ordered wasn't appealing to us but we sold come here for dinner again. Oh, beware that it is very noisy in the resturant. Our was hard for us to have a meaningful conversation because we couldn't hear each other. The lighting is very dark as well. read more

Ambience is comfortable with heavy wood furniture and leather banquettes against the wall. The bar area seems popular. Lighting is a little dim, which I like. We went when there were not many people, but I would think it could get loud at peak times. We started with a Sicilian martini for me - it was light and bright, not strong at all. My husband had a Jones root beer only that's not what we received. He received a crappy IBC root beer. We asked why it wasn't Jones and were told recently changed and the menu hadn't been updated. I asked if it was still $5 because Jones root beer runs $3-4 a bottle whereas IBC is about a dollar. She said it was still $5. We found that disappointing and misleading, but in all fairness she offered to bring him something else. Complimentary bread was nice and the butter was high quality. Toasted ravioli consisted of flavorful large pillows. The sauce was a great marinara which allowed the flavor of the ravioli to come through. It was delicious. Salads were next. He had a small Caesar and I had a small Marcella's salad. He loved the Caesar which had a lemony anchovy dressing that was light and not garlicky. The cheese was grated and the croutons were plain, no discernible seasoning nor oil or butter. He loved it, but it would not be my first choice for a Caesar. The Marcella's salad had fresh greens,small garbanzo beans, various other ingredients and a light dressing. It was very good and well balanced. Unfortunately there was a short dark hair on the plate. These things happen. I did not tell the server but it grossed me out. The picture is of the pizza, which was very good. We ordered the classic Pauly D's. Ingredients were fresh. Crust was crunchy but not crispy. It was good - a little smaller than I would expect for $24, but inflation is everywhere. The server was efficient, friendly, and good although she disappeared for 20 minutes when we were ready to go - again the kind of annoyance that can happen anywhere. I was disappointed she did not offer to remove the crappy IBC root beer from the bill. $5 for a bottle of cheap root beer is a joke. Also note that although they did not update the menu to read IBC root beer, they sure updated the check out system. I found that shady. Overall, food is high quality. Price is fairly high, too. I would go back during off hours, but not at peak times because it would be too loud for me. read more

I popped in for a late lunch. We were a party of two, first-time visitors, though I have been meaning to go for a long time. Despite the late lunch hour, it was fairly busy. We were seated immediately in the main dining area. We were greeted by literally everyone working. Our server explained the special very well, and I got half a pizza and a salad. My companion got a burger and fries. We shared the Arancini. The Arancini are divine. They were the best I have EVER had. They come 4 to an order, and it is a HUGE portion. I have the veggie half pizza and salad. The Caesar salad tasted very fresh, and the pizza was light and crispy. The crust was immaculate, very good. My companion reported the burger to be excellent, and I shared some of the fries, which were excellent as well. Given the hour, we did not have cocktails, but the menu looked very interesting. The vibe is good, friendly staff, the decor is great, very calming, very welcoming. The entire experience was excellent. However, 75 bucks for lunch without cocktails is a little high. The parking lot was packed despite the other restaurant in the plaza being closed for lunch.. I'm rating 5 stars. I will be back soon. Highly recommended. This is a "Must go." read more

We visited Mia Sorella for the first time a couple of nights ago. I've heard of the restaurant for years and I'm sad I never went before, We arrived about 6:30 on Thursday night. It was crowded an we had a 25 minute wait, as they do not take reservations. The restaurant is is nice. It's open and warm with a bar open to the sidewalk with seating outside. After the short wait we were seated and promptly greeted by our server Amanda, and supporting staff. They took our drink order and offered tap or sparkling water, They brought the drinks and warm, fresh bread to our table. The cocktails were great. Tasty, well made, and not all mixer. We were shared the specials of the day and given time to review the menu and make our choices. On the server's return my kids and their significant others each share Caeser salads while I opted for the house Insalata Mista. For entrees we ordered Chicken Parmesan; Fusilli with Roasted Chicken, Prosciutto, Spinach in a Smoked Mozzarella Demi Cream; two orders of Pantacce nToscane (Magic Carpet Shaped Pasta with Roasted Salmon, Zucchini, Mushrooms, Tomato, White Wine-Lemon Sauce); and I had the Pappardelle pasta (Fennel Sausage, Mushrooms, Spinach, Caramelized Onions, Marsala Cream). The salads came a short time later. The Caesar salads were bright and crisp, perfectly dressed and delicious. Big enough for two to share without being enormous. My Insalata Mista house salad was delicious and big enough to be shared. Mixed greens with a balance of red onion, artichoke hearts, parmesan, with a light and delicious red wine/mustard vinaigrette. Very delicious openers to our meal. My only criticism is they should offer fresh ground black pepper for the salads. Next came our entrees . . . with more of the fresh Italian bread. The Chicken Parmesan was delicious, lightly breaded chicken breast, crispy with a flavorful rich tomato sauce abd mozzarella cheese, and a side of spaghetti pasta in tomato sauce as well, White sauce pasta is also an option. The Pantacce Toscane was another great dish. The roasted salmon, tomatoes, mushroom and zucchini all perfectly cooked in the light white wine and lemon sauce matched perfectly with the salmon. The Fusilli pasta dish another hit. Roast Chicken tossed with roasted chicken, prosciutto, and spinach with a smoked mozzarella cream sauce, Rich, creamy goodness in a bowl. I had the Pappardelle pasta. It was the best of the table, fresh pappardelle with fennel sausage, mushrooms, spinach, and caramelized onions in a marsala cream sauce. Fantastic! The fennel sausage popped the the marsala cream. It was delightfully rich and filling with enough left over for lunch the next day. This place is a hit and one of the better restaurants in the Ballwin/Chesterfield area. The pasta was all fresh and delicious. Perfectly al dente. Thoughtful and well prepared dishes. Great cheerful service and attention to our table. Try this restaurant. You won't be disappointed. We will be back for sure to try their other dishes and I bet their pizza is great too! read more

Went to Mia Sorella on a Saturday evening, they do not take reservations so we showed up early around 5:30 to avoid long wait times. Table for 4 took about 15 minutes. We started with wine & arancini. Love that they offer different oz option for the wine versus glass or bottle. I split a small mista salad, and it was really good not too heavy with the dressing. I had the special seafood lasagna, I really enjoy fish & seafood dishes and that's typically my go to when eating out but there was like an overwhelming amount of fish and some of a little more fishy than I prefer , other than that the sauce & portion size was amazing. My sister got the spicy rigatoni & added shrimp & mushrooms her dish was my favorite thing I had all night and I regretted not just getting the same thing. I ended the night with a tiramisu martini, and it was underwhelming. I have had much better but it happened to be on sale that night so all in all wasn't too bad for the sale price. The waitress was attentive & kind. Would come back again! read more

Good food, great service Love this restaurant . Great for day night or Family night!!

We have been going to Mia for several years (actually, ever since they opened in West County. I love their salads and the Chicken Soto is one of the best menu items ever! We tried their hamburger during Happy Hour in the bar, only, but weren't huge fans of it. The staff are truly helpful and ever-so-nice! Plus, their homemade bread made in-house is a must try. Dining there has always been a great experience. read more

My wife was feeling a little hungry mid-afternoon today, so we decided to try the Happy Hour menu at Mia Sorella. Very good! They offer a selection of entrees that range $5-10 each, and their happy hour pricing on drinks (house wines at $5 each (good pour) and a house gin or vodka martini for $7). My wife ordered a house salad, shrimp scampi and an order of their Parmesan fries. I'd just returned from a Christmas lunch, wasn't interested in anything to eat, but enjoyed one of their house martini's (nice and cold, just as I like it), while she had a glass of their house wine (red). The salad she said was delicious, a big portion with ample red onions and tomatoes...she didn't finish it. The shrimp scampi was a bit on the small side, maybe 6 small sized prawns in a red sauce, good she said, but not great. The Parmesan fries were huge and good tasting, I tried a few and she ended up taking about 1/2 the order home with us. Their happy hour menu is served only in the bar which has 2 large family style tables to sit at along with 2 or 3 small 2-top tables along the windows in the front of the restaurant. Easy to find a place to sit when arrived about 3 pm, but the place filled up quickly and was bumpin' when we left about 5 pm. Nice choices and good tasting food if you like an early dinner or a late afternoon snack. Service was OK, but not great. Our waiter was attentive to us and kept our drinks refilled, but it seemed like it took a while to get all the items my wife ordered to our table. We'll definitely try it again for the selection of choices and happy hour pricing of drinks. Nice, friendly place! read more

Typically eat inside. This was the first time ordering take out and maybe now I know why. While the main courses were good, the Tiramisu was thrown into the to go container and looked like this - a big mess. So caution - do not order Tiramisu to go if they're going to continue packing it up like this. (Pick up time was 6:48, got there at 6:48 - so it wasn't like I was late picking it up. I strongly suggest under "Special Instructions", request they give it to you upon arrival, instead of leaving out it to melt....) read more

This was some of the best pasta I've ever had. You could tell that it was made fresh and it was cooked perfectly. It had the perfect chew and wasn't overcooked. My pasta taste is so good and has so much flavor. I of course had to get some more to go with it and it really just hit the spot. The service was great and we were served bread when we first got there. We also got toasted ravioli which was a 4/5 for me. Very cute date night atmosphere perfect for a weekend date. read more

What a great night and location for a business dinner. The place was busy but we were still able to hold conversations and the staff gave us space and didn't rush us. Arrived at 7 and occupied for 90 min until kitchen closed. If you want to hang out and have some bar food, Mondays the time from 3 to close. Special menu and prices. They don't call it happy hour but it is. Bar seating is decent due to some large tables. Monday did seem to have an order crowd but I'm. It sure that's every Monday. The Cannelloni Al Forno was fantastic. Light vs my colleagues fettuccini. The meatball app is very good and quite filling. The toasted ravs are made in house each day (as I understand it) and come 6 large to a portion. The red sauce was perfection, it found its way onto bread and ravs alike. Highly recommend and I'll be back for sure. read more

This is the place to be apparently! And the food is amazing! I met up with two of my besties for a Friday night out. We were not able to sit in the bar area for happy hour (it was packed!) so we sat at a table in the dining room. We enjoyed that better anyway. Our server was delightful. We started with Aperol spritzes and an order of calamari. So good!! Get the calamari! I selected the papardelle pasta and it was divine. The masala mushroom sauce was so good I could have scooby dooed the plate!! I don't remember what my friends had, but they loved it and they took pics. Enjoy! read more

A group of 10 of us planned for dinner here on a Saturday night. I was really nervous since they don't take reservations but they know what they are doing! We were advised to call ahead on Saturday after 4:00 ticket them know we were coming. We got there about 15 minutes early and they let us know we would be seated in about 15 minutes. They got is in right on time. Everyone was super friendly. Our waitress was super nice and efficient, she explained all the specials, helped us choose drinks and kept up with everything the entire meal while also having several other tables. The place was super busy as it has been on other visits. I ordered Beef Carpaccio as an appetizer, loved everything about it except it was a little heavy Jon the aioli. For my entree I went with the fish special. Corvino with a white wine lemon butter sauce and capers, served with cauliflower and asparagus. I was unfamiliar with the fish and the waitress explained it was a whitefish. i was super pleased with my selection, it was really good. How can you go wrong when capers are involved? The fish was a firm whitefish that was super flaky. Very good. I try to always take home half my entree and it was hard to stop eating! Super efficient staff, great food, great service. read more

OnThursday night (4/(24) was dinner with our county friends. Their choice. They chose Marcella's Mia Sorella restaurant in Ballwin. This Italian restaurant is a sister restaurant to the city restaurant Trattoria Marcella. They have different menus purposely to keep it interesting and leaving options to enjoy both restaurants and experience a great dinner fare and atmosphere. Rachel, our server was exceptional helping with my dinner choices. I liked the chicken risotto but also the lasagna was tempting. Rachel liked the Risotto but I was in a meat sauce mood. I chose the lasagna and I was not disappointed. we shared an appetizer of eggplant Parmigiano It was tender melt in your mouth flavor. The sauce was sweet and cheesy. My wife got the chicken risotto that was delicous, she let me taste it for this review. It was tender and creamy and the chicken was flavorful, it appeared that the chicken had been marinated with garlic which does not agree with my wife and sometimes it makes for a long night. Italian restaurants can make sauces for her without garlic. It is the chicken this time that made it interesting. We had red and white wine a Cab (Route Stock) and Chardonnay . This restaurant does it well and knows how to make a night to remember. Try this restaurant and it's sister city location to see for yourself. You will not be disappointed. read more

Our first time at this restaurant. Make reservations if you want to sit outside on the back patio. We shared a small Marcella salad. Great flavors, the thick strips of prosciutto were chewy where we picked them out of the salad. We ordered the fish special which was Kingklip and the chicken risotto. The chicken risotto was excellent. We really enjoyed that dish. The Kingklip special was disappointing. The fish smelled and tasted fishy. This fish needs to be smothered in a sauce. The side of risotto was good. The asparagus was dried out and lacking flavor. Our server was juggling too many tables so good service was spotty. read more

Marcella's Mia Sorella in Ballwin, is a charming and welcoming "rustic Italian soul food"restaurant. The restaurant feels as warm and inviting as the brothers/owners, Steve and Jamie. The restaurant is family owned and you feel like family the minute you step inside. I had the pleasure of meeting both brothers at the door. Everyone is kind and friendly and the service is exceptional ( thanks Will ). The decor is traditional Italian and you have a choice of a table, cozy booth or the bar for dining. They serve delicious, AUTHENTIC Italian food and probably my first choice when I'm in the mood for pasta. I also love the calamari, eggplant parmigiana and the tasty burgers. Currently the holiday spirit is in the air as there are literally presents, nutcrackers, ornaments and Santas hanging from the ceiling (so cute). Mia Sorella is the perfect spot for a romantic date night or family fun. Stop by and enjoy a wonderful meal! read more

Mia Sorella has become a favorite of mine, especially for Happy Hour. You leave suburbia behind once you walk through the curtained entrance into the bar area. The restaurant offers warm wood tones with a Tuscany feel. The bar area is great with two long tables for larger parties or communal experience. The actual bar offers a lot of seating as well. To note, however is there is no bar rail for feet and the tables have an apron around the bottom that can be a little uncomfortable. To me, not a reason not to go, just good to know. The restaurant area is comfy and open, with a view of the open kitchen. The staff, especially the hostesses and bartenders are extremely friendly and welcoming. The food is just delicious! It isn't typical STL Italian. While offering many of the STL favorites Mia Sorella takes it up a couple notches. The toasted ravioli is one of the best in St. Louis. Large, crispy with an amazing beef filling it is filling and wonderful. The pasta is fresh with wonderful sauces that taste like they were made with love. And, you should not pass up the truffle fries, Brussel sprout salad, tenderloin on baguette, or meatball slider. Cocktails are good with a good poor and some really good wine selection. Happy hour 3:00-6:00 can get crowded. No reservations. Easy pick-up for to go orders. Great value for a great product and atmosphere. read more

My 81 yr husband I were at the bar , having dinner, tonight . The male customer next to us got very obnoxious .. he called me c*nt and told me to eat him. I've never been talked to like this in my life. My husband stood us and used several explosive words. The owner, Steve, came over and put his hands on my 81 yr old husband and threw him out. Big man to pick to put his hands on a 81 yr old man. I told Steve on our way out, this man told me to "eat him" he said, Leave. We are regulars at Bishop's Post and Annie Gunn's.
