Stroll along 17th St., between Lighthouse and Laurel and you will find one of the Peninsula’s favorite spots, La Mia Cucina. This little jewel, with its fresh ambiance and tantalizing menu, is popular with everyone. The colorful European advertising posters that enliven the walls, are “originals, not reproductions.” That phrase is accurate in describing La Mia Cucina itself. From the comfortable linen white decor, accented beautifully by those turn-of-the-century posters, to the hand-crafted entrees and desserts, everything about La Mia Cucina says fresh and original. Owner Michael’s specialty, his ravioli dishes, are a renowned local favorite, and for good reason. They are hand made, with all the care that only a lifetime of creative food combining can bring. In addition to pasta, La Mia Cucina is known for it's fresh fish and meat specials. The desserts are made in-house by his wife Paula and daughter Michaela, and the service is personal and inviting.

This was an enjoyable meal. The menu is extensive. My wife and I had sole piccata and Hawaiian bowl, and both were both excellent. Two small complaints: (1) I ordered a glass of wine at the same time as I ordered my entree, but the wine did not arrive until several minutes after my entree plate. (2) The seasonal vegetables were served lukewarm, not hot enough. Nevertheless, I would recommend Fishwife for a pleasant, tasty and (mostly) well-prepared meal.

Great experience. Waiter was very friendly and knew the menu very well. Food was flavorful and served quickly. Calamari was great. Ordered 2 baskets for a party of 6 it was just enough. We all tried different menu items and they were all great no complaints at all. Clam chowder was nice and thick.
