This place was an absolute win! We had a family dinner and shared ALL the food. The pizza, gnocchi, mushroom ravioli, autumn salad, chef board, lemon ricotta cheesecake, raspberry sorbet were all amazing. Body was our server and he couldn't have been nicer. He made us a special espresso martini that will change your life. In fact, the entire staff was amazing. Don't skip this place! read more

Most of the things that were off were not about the food. First the Good: All 6 of us enjoyed our entrees. Our server did a good job explaining and suggesting items. The cocktails were good. The servings were good sized and three of us took home part of our meals. The prices were fair and i would order the same again. Now the not so Good: It was difficult to find. We ended up parking a fair distance away. There was not room for us (6) indoors.... I'll know next time to reserve a table. The patio was dirty, bird dropping all over the railings and floors. It felt like lunchroom aftermath. I would have really appreciated a cushion on the mesh metal chairs. Being outside led to slow and forgotten service. There were some timing problems with our drinks and appetizers (forgotten). Then they showed up about two minutes before the salads and entrees. Our server took full responsibility and that was awesome. It seems like a great place... just a few tweaks will take it up a notch. String some lights , put some paraphernalia on the tables. Maybe even some bread. read more

We ate at 5 and restaurant very quiet. However, by 6 it was busy and very loud. Our waiter helped us banished the wine list. There were 6 of us and everyone enjoyed their dishes ranging from beet salad, pizza, chicken parm, meatballs and pasta. No complaints. Everything is Alacarte so get prepared to pay for bread. Nice addition to Norterra. read more

Excited to find a great place to eat out in this area, it's hard to come across a place with great food like this one. We had Jennifer as our server and she was lovely. Started out with the Arancini's to share and the Beet Salad. Then we ended up sharing a few pizzas and pastas, everything was delicious! The pizza is cooked perfectly, with the right amount of crunch. Of course we had to share all the desserts as well. The tiramisu was a favorite for sure. This was our first time dining in and we will be coming back again. read more

Wow! This was sooo good, I'll be back very soon. Arancini was excellent and the mussels with the white wine sauce was some of the best I've had. Gotta come back for their fresh pasta, pizza and bruschetta! read more

I'm still dreaming of the pasta I had at Osteria Mia last week. This is a must go to place if you're a fan of Italian food. We were seated right away and the entrees options all sounded amazing. The portion sizing, flavors and pricing were spot on. We ordered the Pasta Norcina, Lupara, and Campanella-all were 10/10s. We even ended the night with a sweet treat, the creme brûlée. The restaurant was not too loud or busy, and was very well kept. read more

Wanted to love it, but really disappointed We've been wanting to try Osteria Mia ever since we moved down the street, and finally gave it a shot but unfortunately, it was a letdown from the start. We were seated without any silverware, which made things awkward since we had just gotten our appetizer we couldn't even enjoy a starter properly. It took about 10 minutes before our server came back around with utensils. He seemed super busy, so we tried to be patient, but when he finally dropped off the silverware, he didn't even check if we were ready to order we had to ask someone else to get him. When our food came out, the pizza was cold. Not lukewarm actually cold, like it had just been sitting out. That was already disappointing, but then the pasta came out way too salty. At that point, we were just ready to wrap it up and go. Really wanted to like this place since it's so close to home, but the service felt disconnected and the food was just not good. Don't think we'll be giving it a second chance. read more

We enjoyed our dinner and will definitely be coming back! We were quite happy with the selections and enjoyed everything we had--we ordered several small plates and shared among the table. Service was very good! Ambiance is not very interesting--it's an unfinished warehouse/industrial vibe so nothing special. They did have faux candles on the table which kind of helped the vibe. Prices were a little on the high side for this side of town considering its further from Phoenix. But overall, food was well-seasoned and cooked and we enjoyed our meal and will be coming back another time! read more

Loved the food, we had the chicken Marsala and the Caesar salad. Close to the shopping and attentive staff. Made for a lovely evening. I had a deliciously sour mocktail that really hit the spot. So tasty! Would love to try the pizza because the wood-fired oven that greets you at the door looks epic and creates a lovely ambiance. read more

We're from out of town, so I'll start with finding the place. You have to park your car - I suggest by the movie theater in the large shopping center. Then walk into the outdoor mall area and the restaurant is on the left. We found it easily once we were on foot. We arrived at 6pm on a Tuesday and the bartender was kind enough to get us a happy hour beverage (it ends at 6, Tuesday through Friday). When our friends arrived, we were seated quickly and service was attentive. They have a fabulous variety of bruschetta options to choose from. My only complaint is they were out of one I wanted to try, but we were pleased with the artichoke, roasted red pepper, and tomato choices we made. For my meal I had the mushroom ravioli and it was delicious! The balsamic sauce was tangy and gave the dish a nice complexity. I especially enjoyed the arugula in the center of the dish - it was almost like a little mini salad, which I appreciated because soup or salad are a la carte at this restaurant. My husband loved his lasagna bolognese. It looked perfectly meaty & cheesy. At the end of the meal, we lingered but it wasn't busy so it was fine, but after a bit they stopped filling our water. One nice touch - a friendly hostess took our photo as we were leaving - we hadn't seen these friends in years. Overall this is a great Italian restaurant with reasonably priced food for the freshness with good service in a nice area. If we lived here, we'd definitely go back again. read more

Homemade pasta (rigatoni)...delicious and cooked just right: al dente! Excellent rotation of salad dressings. A few months ago we had a mustard vinaigrette, and recently had a champagne vinaigrette. Both excellent. We also had a crispy thin crust pizza from the wood fired oven. I'm rating this up because the food in three visits has been consistently really praiseworthy. Service is just OK...took a few minutes to get our cocktails but food coursed out well from the kitchen. Nice place to bring a group. I brought four friends from out of town, one of whom is a restaurant owner. He appreciated the food and can be a tough critic. If I can take "Jeff" to a reasonablely priced restaurant and he likes the food, then it's doing a great job in the kitchen! read more

You wouldn't think that a hidden corner of a suburban strip mall type shopping center would house a restaurant that makes their pasta in house... but man this spot is legit. It's a little cavernous inside, and the service is sometimes a little hit or miss, but I definitely recommend this place if you happen to be in the North Valley. read more

Really delicious dinner with friends here tonight. Service was a bit slow at the start, but it improved over the meal. Decent selection of wines, most around $12/glass. Caesar and side salads were both good. My pasta morcina was fantastic. Others got the chicken parmigiana, butternut squash ravioli, short rib radiatore, and tortellini. Everyone's dishes looked fantastic, and all said they tasted equally delicious. We'll definitely come here again. read more

My friend and I went for dinner. We arrived at the restaurant and waited at the hostess station for what felt like 5 minutes before anyone acknowledged us. We were immediately seated only to be ignored again. Finally placed our order and thankfully the kitchen was more responsive. The food was great but not sure it was worth feeling like a burden to the front of house. read more

The ambiance was great. We sat outside. Initial service for drinks took a little bit longer than anticipated but we weren't in a hurry. Once we placed our drink orders everything went well and was timed well. The arancini come as 4 in a serving. My date said their arancini was cold, but mine was hot. But the sauce that was underneath them was cold. I am not sure if that is how it is supposed to be served. It was still tasty. We had mussels and a pasta dish. One of the crostini was a bit too burnt. My date didn't want to finish it. The pasta was tasty but not out of this world. But they did split it up in 2 bowls without us having to request that so that was nice. My wine was delicious. We will probably come back at least one more time to give it another go. read more

We celebrated two birthdays at Osteria Mia yesterday. We were greeted by our waiter Brady, who took great care of us and was very personable. I have a food allergy and the chef came out because he was concerned about my order which was so thoughtful and does not happen at very many restaurants. I had the Short Rib pasta, which was amazing. By the way, their pasta is homemade! My friend had a salad and there was so much chicken on it. I couldn't believe it. For dessert, she had a cherry cannoli, and I had the pistachio which was out of this world, yum! I normally don't eat cannolis, but these are delicious. Thanks again for the wonderful birthday experience! I would recommend this restaurant for lunch or dinner. read more

My 3 adult sons, their wives , my husband and our 3 grandchildren, were there yesterday for my 60th birthday, and our waiter, John, was so professional, kind and funny!! We will be back, he deserves a raise! Food was spectacular and he talked me into the donut desert and put candles on it for every decade! Above and beyond! Thank you, John! read more

Decent Italian spot in an outdoor mall. Experience was inconsistent. My gnocchi was delicious but 2 people in our party got pasta which was undercooked. Our salads were also forgotten. The flavor of the food was good but I'm not sure I'd come back. read more

Yesterday I ate at Osteria Mia. The pasta dish I got - Campanella (not sure about spelling) with chicken and a red wine sauce was excellent. Our server, Brodey, was one of the best servers I've encountered anyplace. He recommended several dishes and was every attentive to our needs. I visited with a friend for almost two hours and he even helped me get my phone working properly again. Us old people can't figure out cell phone problems, but since he's young, he figured it out pretty soon, which saved me a trip to the AT&T store. I don't live very close to Osteria Mia, but will definitely come back again when in the area. read more

I love it here! The service was quick and friendly. Sat at the bar and I loved all the staff. The cheesecake was fantastic! Mussels and fries were delicious. Highly recommend. read more

I ordered to go and was not a fan. I got the tagliatelle bolognese and it looked nothing like the photo on their website. A lot of the pasta was dry and undercooked. Huge chunks of beef rather than an actual sauce. I think the kitchen is not consistent because it seems as most people are enjoying their meals but then there are several bad reviews about the food quality. If I was the owner, I would be looking to find out which one of my cooks doesn't know what their doing because clearly someone is messing people's food up. read more

I was actually hoping to go to the State 48 Rock House, but their kitchen was closed at 8:30 PM which I thought was odd. Well, the good news was that I ended up here. For what was indeed a slow middle of the week night service was brilliant from start to finish. The Fritto Misto - Tempura battered zucchini, summer squash and artichoke hearts with a side of lemon zest aioli to start was amazing. Light, not greasy, and very tasty. For my main I had a Grilled Romaine Salad - Half a head of romaine lettuce grilled and topped with a caesar dressing, croutons, grape tomatoes, red onions and parmesan frico with shrimp. It was great! Though it wasn't the Rock House I still managed a new beer here too. I was very happy coming here. The place wasn't that big, but it felt roomy and comfortable. read more

Osteria Mia is a great spot up in North Phoenix for some pretty authentic Italian. Service was quick for lunch and they large dining room that can accommodate bigger parties. Tried the pasta norcina with black truffle and garlic cream sauce and gemmeli with shrimp, tomatoes, and a pesto cream sauce. Both dishes had great flavor. Enjoyed the pasta and they both had large portions which they kindly halved for us. Solid bowl, both were heavier dishes, but the gemmeli was a bit oily for my liking. Definitely recommend trying the pasta norcina! read more

The food was absolutely amazing and the service was great. Love this place and plan to frequent it again!

How come we didn't know about the spice when we lived there five years ago. We were driving back from rock Springs Café with our Thanksgiving pies and wanted to eat. I searched yelp reviews from Black Canyon City a happy Valley Road and this was the only one that had very few one star reviews. The Caesar salad was quite possibly the best I've ever had and I have Caesar salad at almost every restaurant I go to. What was even more amazing was it was a side salad that my wife and I split with whole anchovies on top for only nine dollars Their pastas are house made. My wife and I had two different versions with the cream sauce that were good but not great. I look forward to trying something else next time I'm there. read more

The experience is about the food but what has me returning are the servers and the manager Rob. Rob sets the attitude of the restaurant. I have never met a more friendly welcoming manager. And I believe because of that the servers are happy. We have been returning 3 day every week. It is nice to be welcomed by Rob who has always thanked us for our business. I learn last nite the Rob had left the position. That was terrible news. Not sure if we will be returning with this sad news.. read more

What an amazing visit. The Diavola pizza was amazing. We sat at the bar, and were waited by the most amazing bartender named McKenna. We've been here before and our experience has always been good, however, McKenna makes you feel like you're in your house having a house made meal with unbelievable service. Thank you, McKenna. read more

So we were at Harkins Theatre with our kids. Our movie ended an hour before theirs. We decided to go over to get food. It took about five minutes to get seated, and then once we were sat after 15 minutes of everyone ignoring us and no one coming to our table, we decided to get up and leave. No one noticed we even left or said anything. Multiple weight staff were talking to the girl at the bar, wiping tables putting silverware down. But never took our order. The restaurant was 95% empty and the only table waiting to order. This was at 8:40 and they close at 10:00. So nowhere near closing time, read more

Some of the best tasting Italian food I've had. Service was good . Atmosphere could be a little better but good for a mall restaurant.

I went to Osteria Mia a few months ago and had the Diavolo pizza and thought it was excellent. Then I traveled to numerous cities in Italy over the summer and ordered the same type of pizza a few times. I just visited Osteria Mia again and had the Diavolo again and I can say that it matches what I had in Europe. In addition, I split the "build your own"pasta with basil pesto with my wife and it too matched what I had in Europe. I highly recommend this restaurant. While it's hidden in the mass of other restaurants in Norterra, Osteria Mia is definitely special and worth searching for it. read more

Good new option for good Italian food. Everyone in our group enjoyed their meal. Happy hour prices high and limited choices. They need a few more curtains to help shield the rays from the setting sun. Service was adequate. If looking for quaint and cozy this is not it. Industrial type vibe. read more

Funghi - actually really gooood. I like the earthy warm palate of the mushroom with the truffle oil. Crust was crispy and and yummy which is all I can ever ask Red pasta sauce which was soooo yummy. It wasn't sour and was rich and savory/creamy. I would get it. Cacio e pepe - very creamy and rich, honestly very good, would get again. Gets heavy at the end though so should share with something else read more

Osteria Mia is a neighborhood favorite! The atmosphere is nice, but still family-friendly. The pasta and pizza are good, and there's a nice wine selection. We've been for date nights and for family dinners and the service never disappoints. Friendly staff, timely food, and just a great overall experience. read more
