Mia Bella Trattoria - Vintage Park

Mia Bella Trattoria - which translates as "My Beautiful" Trattoria - is a delightful combination of Italian tradition and regional American twists. With multiple locations, the dining destinations are fun, intimate and moderately priced just like the traditional Trattorias where Italian families gathered for wine and delicious food. In a tradition of his own making, Owner/Chef Youssef Nafaa has created an exciting menu of familiar foods pushed to a new level with daring preparations and imaginative ingredients. Wine lovers will find a pleasingly extensive list of evenly priced wines while those seeking cocktails will find the same combination of classic recipes and creative mixings which set the menus apart.

"We went for Mother's Day Brunch. Let me start by saying Mia Bella was decorated very nicely. We enjoyed sitting outside on the terrace over looking the gorgeous fountain. .. The only two negatives that I would give would be the price of the brunch for us $24.95 for adults and $15.00 was a little pricey for children when they didn't even eat very much. The egg station had a huge line with one person making eggs so the wait was so long that we were unable to get an egg dish. We did enjoy the items that were served at the brunch , there was a great variety. The selection was great and I enjoyed the food. Overall, the service and food was great. I would recommend this for a date night or a special occasion. just be prepared to spend some money."

"What should have been a pleasant celebration of Mother's Day, was instead a huge disappointment. The restaurant was overbooked, under prepared, not enough waiters, the food was cold and not the usual Mia Bella quality that we are used to."

"With only 30 minutes before our 1 PM reservation I called to change our party from 4 to 6 people. I was really pleased that Mia Bella was able to accommodate my last minute change. We waited only a few minutes after we arrived. Everyone in our party enjoyed the brunch."

"We were provided drinks and bread promptly, but the actual food an appetizer took FOREVER!! I kid you not we watched 2 tables that sat down at least 20minutes after us get their food at least 15minutes before we ever did!! The appetizer took around 35minutes to get after we ordered it and then the food took a total of 1hr and 10minutes to get to us! Good thing we were paying a baby sitter by the hour for the longest wait ever, but at least we didn't have other plans! Even the waiters and managers knew that we had been there too long bc they stopped checking on us and looking our direction when coming out on the patio to check on customers/tables... Food was good overall."

"We called to get reservations for brunch and were told to go through Open Table. The only available times were 3:45 and 4:00 in the afternoon. I then called again to see if brunch was still being served at these times. we booked the 3:45 time frame. About an hour and a half before our reservation we received a call about bumping up to 3:30, and we agreed. Upon arrival, I was sad to see that not only was the entire restaurant almost empty, but most of the tables with the brunch set up looked as though the food had been sitting out all day. We had to ask to get our drinks refilled and the only choice we had for food was the brunch, no menues to look through and order fresh food. WIll not go back!"

"Went at 7 pam on a Saturday nite and had an OpenTable reservation. We were seated immediately. I had the Mahi special which was very nice. Wife and daughter ordered from the menu and they were very pleased with their salad with Salmon and the Pasta. Service was excellent and very attentive, including the manager check ups. Ambiance was nice and there was not much of a noise level. I look forward to going back again soon!"

"Very Loud. Why do you play music that you can't even hear the wait staff and then you sandwiched us between to tables of toddlers. You need to keep the families together and away from two people having dinner. You must understand that if someone goes to the trouble of making a reservation they want a better expereince. Too much money for a average experience and then not being able to hear!"
