    Mida is our absolute favorite last-minute date night restaurant -- and how lucky are we to live only a 10-minute walk away! My husband thinks their fritto misto is Boston's best calamari, and I am a big fan of their pizza. (Note: as a non pork eater, half of the pizza options are off the table, but the ones that are left are all super.) Those two orders, plus an order of olives as an appetizer, plus drinks, is usually the perfect meal for us to enjoy a nice, relaxed weeknight date night.

    10/10 for the staff at Mida. We had a reservation and our table was running behind by a bit so the team went above and beyond to upgrade our experience. We were so impressed and grateful! As regulars, the food and ambiance is always exceptional. Highly recommend!

    A great meal at MIDA. Paccheri Bolognese and the Roasted Chicken amazed. Service and cocktails were excellent as well. We’ll be back again!

    Mangia Mondays meal deal for two is a great way to sample a bunch of their dishes. Even better was the service. Our server Phil (5th grade teacher by day) was excellent. He knew exactly what to do to make our first experience memorable.
