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.

All of our food was fresh and delicious. I got the gyro platter and my mom got a hamburger steak.read more

Real cheese! Pepperoni that does not give you heartburn! Two for one pizza -all the time - printed in the menu - one for now, one for later- it reheats well. The lunch buffet on weekdays gets you a salad bar too. The macaroni salad is the best! They also have pizza, salad, and meats and veggies on a Sunday lunch buffet! We come for the pizza. Its well worth the drive. This place has my favorite plain old pepperoni pizza. With real cheese.

Picture this, it's mid week, it's about 1 PM after the lunch crowd, I'm in town locally with my job servicing some accounts, and I just happened to pull into this parking lot of legends sofa bar. Hungry as I was, and what looked to be the perfect location for a nice quick lunch, was far more than that. I had a chicken salad sandwich and chips my work associate had a chicken salad plate and this chicken salad is a monks the best I've ever tasted in my lifetime, that's with no exaggeration. The facility is cleaner than the cleanest home I've ever been into and so inviting with sofas for seating and watching one of the multiple televisions it's more like a living room in a man cave or woman cave on steroids, it's that nice. I met Peter the owner and his lovely bride, and felt like I had known them for years while eating at their own personal residence. The decor is perfect the ambience during the day with background music was perfect and TVs on and the food was to die for. So you local folks make sure you support this one, because it's well worth any trip and anything you eat I'm sure is gonna be as good as what I had.

I was going to order a fried shrimp basket but they don't serve coleslaw (which I LOVE with fried shrimp). So we started with the hush puppies as an appetizer (recommended by our server). They were dry, dense and nothing special. I had grilled shrimp, hubby had grilled mahi-mahi. Both were served over rice with steamed broccoli and a cucumber tomato salad on top (all the grilled dishes are served this way). The shrimp plate was very under seasoned and the broccoli had no seasoning at all. Hubby said the fish was ok, but his rice and broccoli were both also under seasoned. The cucumber salad tasted pretty good but there was VERY LITTLE of it on top of the fish/shrimp. Maybe we caught the place in a bad night....I hope more people will review. As it stands now, we probably won't return. (Forgot to take pics of our plates).
