Had Eggs Benedict with prosciutto for Sunday brunch and it was delicious! The restaurant was clean, staff was friendly and attentive, service was top notch. The only complaint I have is the restaurant is large and quite noisy as it fills up, not a serious deterrent but something to be aware of. I will definitely be returning. Our entire group was impressed with the establishment, food, and service. read more

We started with our favorite salad, that is plenty for 2 people to share. The Beet Salad includes lots of red and golden beets. The pistachios add just the right crunch. The wonderful addition of mandarin orange slices, goat cheese and a balsamic reduction really brighten this dish. We tried the Pasta Norcina made with Italian sausage, cremini mushrooms, with a black truffle cream sauce and topped with pecorino cheese. So flavorful. They also have a gelato bar with 12 flavors that change periodically. The pumpkin pie gelato tastes exactly like pumpkin pie. What a great place to eat. Happy hour is 3-6 pm. I'm not a great photographer but hope these pictures give you a clue as to how great this is. The service is outstanding, server was at our table with 2 minutes of being seated. Modern decor and not too loud despite the crowd that was there. read more

Clean, open format and spacious setting. Plenty of seating and a good sized bar area. Not the typical Italian restaurant style . . . stark bright, high ceilings, windows everywhere . . . but still very nice. The food from the entree to sides to dessert were all delicious and fresh. Service was great . . . welcoming, friendly and prompt. read more

Amazing! What went well? Everything!! We have found our place! Italian, all home made, prices are $$. The ambiance is wonderful! Huge bar and minimalist dining room. Tables are far apart! Bartender, Linee, very knowledgeable!! Acoustics are great! What a great find - 10 min from home!! read more

We stopped in for a late dinner and go give osteria in surprise a try since the happy valley location is not our favorite. Service was good and our waitress was nice and friendly. She was also bartending and did a great job managing both duties. Alicia was her name :) The mozzarella was good and I liked that it came with pomadoro for dipping. My hubby was sad they were out of the scampi special but he ended up with the gemelli. The basil cream sauce was delish and so flavorful. He was thrown off by shrimp with tails left on being mixed into the dish but wasn't the end of the word (yes he ate one without realizing and stabbed the roof of his mouth lol). My pizza was good and it was different for me to try since I'm not a truffle fan but the black truffle cream sauce was good and balance well with the cheeses and mushrooms. We also got moose track gelato which is obviously going to be good. Our drinks were also made well and we loved seeing the white label Penelope as a bourbon options because we have never seen it out at a restaurant. It was slower in the evening but we did appreciate the spacious this location is One additional note- we honestly were very excited to see Sabi serving! She is a GOLDMINE in the city of Surprise! So many people know her and no matter where she is serving if she's tour server you're in the best of hands!! She wasn't even our server but it was nice catching up with her and getting suggestions from both her and Alicia. Definitely plan on returning to try a couple other items we were glancing at on the menu read more

Very amazing home made authentic Italian. I love all the seafood dishes and wine selection. Very upscale feeling and the food is decatent. Awesome sauces. Can't wait to come back. 10/10! read more

Jessica is our Server, super nice, attentive and very accommodating. The place is quite large, very open but clean and well maintained. Cocktails; Almafi Spritz-very refreshing, Gran Torino-Excellent and well balanced with all the different spirits that made up the cocktail, loved the large ice cube, nice touch Appetizer; Calamari Fritti-Lightly breaded, not tough, great homemade sauce and seasoned properly. Entrees; Gemelli, homemade pasta, homemade sauce with shrimp, very flavorful but filling, took some home for the next day, Linguine Alle Vongole; Excellent, homemade pasta and sauce with clams, loved it, no leftovers on this dish. The only suggestion I have is they should hand grind parmigiano/reggiano cheese table-side vs. a cheese shaker like you would get at Pizza Hut, just saying! We will return to try other Entrees and their pizza. read more

OMG. I kept hearing about this restaurant and I don't even live here. So while visiting family, we decided to pop in for dinner on a Saturday. We were able to make a Phone reservation, which was very helpful since we were dining with a senior guest. I know everybody in town is a senior, but it is hard for them to wait. I believe our server's name was Sardie they were super friendly and professional. They had short brown hair and a bunch of tattoos, which was cool. We opted for two specials that evening. When was the chicken and the other was the Branzino. And then, of course we had the radiatore. Each of us also decided to start with the Caesar salad. It was delicious and the perfect size. The pasta was the star of the show with the short rib Ragu and creamy ricotta. We did enjoy the Branzino, although we felt it was a little overcooked and a little salty. Yes I know there are olives, etc., but it was a little salty. The chicken was also very good with both the breast and dark meat along with vegetables and sausage. The focaccia bread was also delicious and I recommend that you start with that. And then we finished off with a dark chocolate gelato, which was delicious. Overall, we had a great meal. There's parking out front, but it is a little weird directionally and if you have a limited mobility guest or handicap guest, you'll have to park on the opposite side because none of the curbs on one side of the building are ramps. Cool ambience although a little cavernous in my opinion, the manager came by to say hello, he was super sweet. I would definitely come back and try other items. read more

Nice little spot. Food was good but service was A+! Stephanie was our server, she was suuuper nice, as was everyone else we encountered. I asked for a veggie on the side to go with my daughter's Mac n cheese, so the chef personally came out to verify if broccolini would work, and if we'd like it cut small and sautéed rather than their normal way of preparing it. I got their weekly special branzino, awesome. I was slightly disappointed in the crème brûlée, I don't think the top was brûléed enough to my liking and still seemed like gritty sugar rather than a hard shell, but the overall taste was still great (and everyone else at the table preferred it this way). I'd definitely go back to try out more things on the menu. read more

We were a group of 4. Ordered drinks then dinner. Unfortunately with dinner you do not get bread. Italian restaurants always serve bread with pasta meals. That was very disappointing. Was told you can order it as an appetizer. Service was very good, food was good. But no bread or a salad with an entree that cost $24 is just not acceptable for us. read more

We enjoyed a good Friday evening meal for the first time here at Osteria Mia in Surprise, AZ. I noticed when walking in that the seating here is very open with a cafeteria feel. There's not much to absorb noise, with no walls or noise-absorbing surfaces. There are tables and long booth seating as well as high back chairs and tables, and bar seating. Patio tables as well. This spot was packed on a Friday night and everyone seemed to be loving it here. We were told by the hostess it would be a 20-30 minute wait to be seated but got taken to a table in around 10 minutes. We had a great server, Stephanie! She was cheerful and fun. She gave me recommendations and helped me decide on a main course too. We ordered: - MEATBALLS to share to start - POMODORO, PARMIGIANO, CROSTINI. Decent tender meatball. Really enjoyed the marinara with fresh garlic flavor. Drool. - CAMPANELLE x2 - GRILLED CHICKEN, CREMINI MUSHROOMS, PEAS, RED WINE DEMI CREAM SAUCE, PECORINO. I absolutely loved this dish! Full of flavor. I adore peas and pasta. I also love mushrooms and pasta - a prefect marriage. Every bite of pasta was delicious. It tasted homemade. I asked Stephanie and she said that yes, indeed, the pastas are all made in house with exception to the gluten free pasta and the gnocchi. Hubs said that this dish didn't have enough flavor for him. Different strokes I guess. - Cherry Cannoli to share for dessert - Yummy! Good fresh fried pastry shell and rich and flavorful cream inside I only finished half my meal so Stephanie brought a to-go container to the table and transferred my plate into the container. read more

My first time here since I live nearby and heard great things about it. The menu was simple which I like meaning they have specialty dishes, but they do well in. The atmosphere was chill the dining room looks like it was type of warehouse feel to it. But classy. The service was good. We ordered an appetizer two meals and a mocktail. Overall, the food was good. A little expensive, but I can see why it was worth the price. I would come back again to try different items. read more

We ordered for take out because not everyone in the family was feeling well so I can't comment on the dining in experience, however the restaurant looked roomy and clean! I ordered the Short Rib Radiatore, Campanelle, Lupara, Americano Pizza, & the Truffle Fries. When I arrived, our orders had just came out so they were ready just on time as communicated to me over the phone. All were big portions, and the entrees tasted really good! We are so excited to have another Italian restaurant that's not chain restaurants in town. We look forward to dining in soon! read more

My husband and I had heard about this place and were genuinely excited to try it, especially because we don't get a lot of new restaurants in this area. We both love Italian food, so we decided to come here for his birthday as a special treat. Unfortunately, the experience was disappointing from the beginning. When we first walked in, the ambiance was not at all what I was expecting. It's very "millennial gray" -- and I say that as a millennial. It reminded me a lot of the decor inside Toast. Obviously ambiance is personal preference, but to me it felt very bland and soulless, especially for an Italian restaurant. Once we were seated, we sat for about 15 minutes without anyone greeting us or even acknowledging us. It wasn't a particularly busy night, and we were seated out in the open, so eventually we went back up to the host to let her know we hadn't seen a server. To her credit, she was extremely kind and apologetic and immediately owned the mistake. Apparently she had seated us but hadn't let the server know we were in her section. We completely understood that they had recently opened and mistakes happen. Our server eventually came over and was also very nice and apologetic, which we appreciated. When ordering, my husband asked for a pasta recommendation because he likes pesto. She recommended one and mentioned that she usually gets it with chicken. He specifically said he wanted sausage instead. When our food came out, his pasta had chicken, so unfortunately his meal had to be sent back and remade with sausage. As far as the food itself, it was okay. Nothing was necessarily bad, but there also wasn't anything we ate that we were particularly impressed by or would rave about afterward. For us, it just wasn't memorable enough to make up for the rest of the experience. The most frustrating part came toward the end of dinner. I had planned on mentioning that it was my husband's birthday and asking if they did anything for birthdays, but it became incredibly difficult to get our server's attention because she kept sitting down at another table with two gentlemen and talking with them. I completely understand chatting with people you know or friends who come into the restaurant, but when it starts affecting the service you're providing to your other tables, that's where I have an issue. She was sitting with her back toward us for extended periods while we were trying to get her attention, and by that point we were already disappointed with how his birthday dinner had gone. It even took quite a while just to get checked out. I really wanted to love this place, especially because having another restaurant option in the area is exciting. I also understand that new restaurants have growing pains, which is why I don't fault them for every little mistake. Both the host and our server were genuinely nice and apologetic when issues were brought to their attention. Unfortunately, though, there were just too many service issues throughout one dinner for us to leave feeling like we had a good experience. Would we come back? Probably not. read more

Still amazing! One of our two favorite restaurants in Surprise, we continue to recommend it to friends. The food is consistently great and the service is attentive but not too persistent. The bruschetta boards continue to impress. read more

In a nutshell, the homemade pasta is outstanding! I was there on a weeknight with 3 friends, each of us offering a different entree from the homemade pasta section of the menu. All of them were delicious and cooked to perfection. The staff were friendly and professional. The atmosphere is comfortable and upscale. The prices are a little high, but worth it. One of us was celebrating a birthday and was given a large, creamy, not-too-sweet cannoli. Can't beat that. I wouldn't order the cheesecake again, but I'll be back for the pasta. read more

Great food. Very spacious. Excellent service. Will be definitely going back. Nice crowd for a Tuesday night.

We visited this new Osteria Mia location about two weeks ago and were very impressed. Our server, Janelle, took great care of us and answered our various questions about the menu. We started off with the focaccia and the arancini. Both came out fairly quickly and were a hit. The sauce that topped the arancini was heavenly and made me want to get something with a red sauce for my entree. As such, I ordered the lasagna, which Janelle assured me was a great choice. It was a hearty slice and tasted amazing. My mother was really happy with her dish as well. We did not try a pizza with this visit, but we definitely plan to return and sample more of the menu. read more

Can I give this 6 stars? 7 stars? Seriously: THIS is what the west valley residents have been waiting for! The service was wonderful, cocktails superb, excellent Italian wine list,... scratch kitchen. Everything made to order. I honestly cannot stress enough: worth every penny, worth your time, worth the calories! Relax, don't be rushed, and enjoy a lovely dining experience. I can't wait to return! read more

I had initially left a 3-star review, after the owner decided to have a temper tantrum, I changed my review to one star. The owner and his wife think it's okay to walk around their restaurant drinking alcohol. It definitely would have been better if you were just sitting at the bar because people probably wouldn't have noticed it. And your juvenile daughter was running around INSIDE the bar area with her soda. If you think any of this is professional or acceptable, IT'S NOT. I am entitled to my opinion. The fact you're so petty about it shows you're unprofessional and immature. I will definitely tell all of my friends what happened and how you responded. We will never be back. read more

The service, atmosphere and food were good. Place is very clean. Although I wouldn't recommend the stuffed artichokes, the rest is fantastic. We had focaccia, campanelle pasta from the dinner menu and the pasta forcing. It was a delicious. Pasta is all homemade and al dented. You can ask for the pasta to be cooked more if you want, but we were happy. The bread was to die for and the dipping oil was good. The pastas had some of the best sauce flavors I have had on the west side of the valley. For dessert we had Chocolate Gelato and Ricotta cheesecake. Both were devoured quickly. read more

Food here is probably one of the better Italian restaurants in the area. The waitress that I had was amazing and gave good advice on which dishes. I understand the price might be a little high but honestly every restaurant is like that now. The restaurant did feel a little bland, maybe some music and gelato was amazing. If you want to get some good food come here. read more

This isn't "authentic" Italian food, as some claim. It's barely an Olive Garden, without free breadsticks. lol. Don't order orecchiette expecting it to be anything close to authentic. And if they want to at least try to be authentic, help the staff with how to pronounce their menu items. Wasn't absolutely horrible, but not good enough for us to ever go back here. read more

Enjoyed this restaurant with clients for a business dinner. Our server was kind, knowledgeable and very attentive. The restaurant was clean, had a great atmosphere and the food was delicious. Appetizers, entrees and desserts were all amazing. I wish I had grabbed our servers name to specifically recognize her. Great overall experience! read more

Wife and I tried this place twice. The food is pretty good. Tried the pizza and sandwiches and pasta and fish special they had. The food is good. Had a few tummy issues for me and the wife after eating the pasta ?? But other wise we like the food and want to try it again. The service was mostly good. I think they need more staff. And it has a nice look to it. read more

0 out of 5! Absolutely disgusting. As a bruschetta connoisseur, this is the worst I have ever had. Very low quality ingredients. Gross.

My wife and I went here for our anniversary. A few people at my work mentioned it and so we went. The servers are what saved this place for me. Polite and gave recommendations since it was our first time. We got the truffle fries, arancini, margherita pizza and the tiramisu. We were going to get pasta because I read it was hand made. When we sat down the waitress told us about the pre made pasta. So it was a little confusing so we went with pizza hoping it was a safe bet. The truffle fries were pretty much McDonald fries with no seasoning. Relying heavily on the "truffle aioli" which there was minimal on them. My wife thought it was basically mayo squirted on them. The Arancini texture wise was pretty solid just a little bland for my taste but overall the best thing we ordered. The pizza was cooked alright but the basil appeared to be old leafs mixed with new ones and just big leaves on there instead of cut which I've seen on other pictures of theirs on google. When you look at other pictures of what people have got from them on google ours seem to have lacked any purpose when being made. The tiramisu to me seemed to be similar to one you could buy at a grocery store. The place was clean when we went there was about 3 tables being used. When leaving my wife said she would've rather gone to oreganos or babbos read more

Finally a place in surprise that makes fresh pasta and mozzarella daily. Food is incredible. This is the family owned business we should support. Been several times already and had some amazing dishes. Lasagna is top notch as well as the pizzas and pastas. Recommend the burrata appetizer and arancini to start with. Drinks are very good as well and inside is very comfy and open. Great addition to our city! Here is the valentines day specials we had. Both incredible. Chicken saltiboca with truffle stuffed gnocchi and Branzino. . read more

First time dining at this location. Always heard others say food was good. They were right. We enjoyed their Bianca pizza, Frutti Di Mare, Short Rib Radiatore and Gemelli entrees. All were a delicious array of flavors to satisfy even the most grumpiest Italian. Spices and sauces a hit. The homemade pasta is the star of the show. We concluded with Pistachio gelato and the Crème Brûlée. Fine ending to a great Italian supper. All that was missing was bread. Italian restaurants are well known for serving bread with meals. Staff looked very busy. A look of seriousness projected on faces. Be patient. It's a large establishment compared to their other restaurants in the valley. Don't be dismayed when you walk in the doors. It may not look like an Italian restaurant. The smell eminating from the kitchen put me at ease. I hope they plan to liven up the place with a few plants and decor. Optics leaves a lasting impression. I gave it 4 stars because of their food which is ultimately the reason why we dined. Food remember the good tasting food. Cheers! read more

It was our first time here at Osteria Mia, and Linny was our server and she was absolutely wonderful, she made some amazing suggestions along with she had a great amount of patience with us as we were indecisive and she was prompt with her service and always smiling. Furthermore, we ended up getting the Pasta Norcina and the Short rib Radiatore both great dishes with amazing taste. We also got some alcoholic beverages, which Linny made, and they were a delight the pistachio martini is one to have on your radar for sure coming here, I enjoyed the music in the restaurant as it was a super chill environment and it's a very big restaurant. read more
