Mia pasta is becoming a formidable chain in the province of Quebec as Quebeckers love their pasta. I joke around with my wife that she's not a descendant from France but Italy. People are crazy about their pasta here so this concept works well. Really when you think about it have you ever met anyone who doesn't like Italian food? Okay back to the review. With lots of different pasta selection I had gone for the chicken pad thai. Now..... I was not expecting anything close to a traditional pad thai but it was done in a sweet spicy sauce. Overall it was edible but not memorable. Chunks of chicken were good and the spice helped make it an okay meal. Very weird they gave me a piece of garlic bread with it but okay....I ate it! There is so much choice here if you like pasta there is really something for everyone. Portion size is generous and enough to fill you up. You order cafeteria style and your pasta is prepared warmed up fresh in a frying pan in front of your eyes. I also had a creme of broccoli soup that tasted like a frozen add milk solution that was somewhat salty. Not a great soup. Really a good concept if pasta and noodles are your thang! Don't expect the best pasta meal in your life but you can find something decent for under $15 taxes in with a drink.

I asked the waiter to substitute chicken with mozzarella in a pasta plate. He said OK and "I will…read morenot charge you for the extra" (I had not mentioned anything about money, it was his own remark). Then he said I have to order to a different waiter because I am sitting in another area (it was a large party and I was talking to a friend in a different table). I said "OK" and I moved to my table where I proceeded with the order (something different... a salad). The waiter came back saying that he had already put the original order in (the one he said cannot be delivered). I was like... "OK...". When I paid he had added a surplus of 7 $ for mozzarella (?). I said: "Why did you tell me there was no extra charge?". He said "Sorry I did not know" (?). it was a nice person but very unpleasant interaction.

My only complaint is that after weighing the ingredients a few items got dropped out of the saucepan. That defeats the purpose of carefully measuring everything, and it makes the customer feel like they got less than what they paid for. Otherwise fine.

Instead, the pasta carbonara was nice and creamy with lots and lots of bacon. Another time, I had the salmon platter.
