Il Mito Trattoria e Enoteca

This is a place I frequent because it's that good! There's no parking lot, but street parking has never been an issue. No need to post the menu because it's up to date online. I especially like the 3 for $35 option. Many things from the menu are included. Unfortunately if it's not a special or listed as an option, you can't switch it out. I wanted the tomato soup in place of a starter and I couldn't get it. But I did order it extra and it was really good with the bread and garlic olive oil they bring to your table. This is a great place for a family dinner, a nice date, a girls evening out, whatever you want. The food is made fresh and comes out hot. The drinks are tasty - plenty of options or just get wine. I was there last night and it was the first time I ordered one of the specials (which can be added to the 3/$35 deal for $9). The dish was fettuccine with a white wine lemon caper sauce, chicken & shrimp. It was delish, but I feel like the fettuccine was too big and chunky for such a delicate sauce. It prob should have been angel hair. Also, the chicken was tiny pieces and not really present. I did order the tomato soup which I highly recommend and wish they'd add that to the special. The Caesar salad was super fresh, but lacked enough dressing to really taste the Caesar zip. And for dessert I had the chocolate hazelnut torte which was a small individual cake - it was a little over baked but still delicious. I took it home and heated and added vanilla ice cream. A week ago we went for a family dinner and I ordered straight off the menu - the eggplant, lasagna and pistachio gelato. Everything was perfect!!! Both visits we had the same waiter. The waitstaff and the hostess were both super attentive both times. That's one thing you don't need to worry about - you never have to wonder where the waiter is, they check in on you! Two thumbs up for that!! If you like Italian food, you must try this place!!

My wife and I decided to give Il Mito a try for Valentine's dinner this year. We'd never been here before but had heard the food was very good. We have two young children at home, so had to utilize takeout versus dine in. We ordered Fettucine Carbonara which was pretty decent, Chicken Parm which was also fairly decent and finally stuffed mushrooms. When we got the food home, we opened the mushrooms and found that only 3 were in the container. This is half the amount shown on the picture when you order online (screenshot attached to review). I did call and was told that 3 is the standard order and not 6. So that was rather disappointing to get 1/2 the amount we were expecting. Would have certainly never ordered 3 small stuffed mushrooms for $10.All in all - food was OK but certainly turned off by the misleading menu/pictures.

Nice Italian restaurant in downtown Tosa.We were able to grab a reservation to ensure we had our table on time and were seated right away.The staff was fast and efficient and took great care of us.I got the lasagna which was very very cheese forward. Unfortunately I did not care for this. I like lasagna where the meat flavor is more prominent and the cheese is baked.My wife got the short ribs with mashed potatoes which were better in my opinion.I'd definitely come back to try something else though.

The food was great. The fresh focaccia was awesome. I only gave them 4 stars as the desserts were not as good as I had hoped. I also thought some of the garlic was heavy. Yes I ordered garlic and love it others may want to order something else if this is not their favorite. I look forwad to going again and trying more!

Chef Fekker REFUSES to acknowledge my unused gift card balance of over $180! I talked to him personally on the phone on 8/1/23, after numerous calls and emails were IGNORED by his staff.We've been customers of Il Mito for over ten years, but never again. We can't believe that he has no interest in keeping his customers happy.

The bottom line of this place: it's decent for pasta, wouldn't recommend the other things. The dessert is great. More attention to detail needed.Let's dive in. First drinks. I got the Mythtini which was a fruity martini with passion fruit and cherry. It was good. For a $12 drink it's a little disappointing to see those cheap maraschino cherries rather than the deeply colored and way more delicious ones that are better quality. My dad said the Negroni was good, but would've been better with one large ice cube rather than several small ice cubes. My mom ordered the Wisconsin martini which was shockingly bad. It tasted like a bottle of cherry cough syrup. I'm not usually very picky with drinks but it was such a strong and off putting taste.We asked our waitress (who was great) what her suggestions were. She highly recommended the mushroom tortellini, so we ordered a plate of that as our shared appetizer. Great choice, the pasta was very good. It was al dente and flavorful. The one thing I would've liked to see/taste is a better variety of mushrooms. It seemed to be all portobello mushrooms, and it would've been nice to have a variety of oyster or shiitake mushrooms in addition to the portobello mushrooms.I had some mixed feelings about the entrees. Let's start with bad news first. The bistecca did not seem like a good quality piece of meat. The flavor was not great & the steak was over cooked and dry (although we ordered it medium). It had some char on it which normally would be a good thing, but the parts that got charred were over-charred which lead some pieces to have a bitter taste. Lastly, there was a lot of fat on the piece of meat. The menu said it came with carbonara pasta, but it came with pesto. And finally the sautéed spinach was really just a throw away on the dish - no point at all.The pasta dishes we tried as appetizers were good. The bolognese & the lasagna. Their lasagna is made with short ribs instead of ground meat so that was interesting and good. The sauce on the lasagna was on the acidic side, but it was good. The bolognese had good flavor and texture. I wish it had a couple pieces of pancetta and more of a robust wine flavor like a more traditional bolognese.The desserts were a hit - especially the tiramisu. It was fantastic. Nice and soft but not too sweet. The chocolate hazelnut torte was also nice and warm.This place is decent for Italian food as long as you stick to the pasta. Maybe skip drinks, but definitely not dessert!

The absolute best drinks, food, and service. Our waitress was outstanding. We will definitely be back soon!

Wow.Waited 25 minutes before and no service came to our table. I had to go find a service person. They apologized and then didn't bring our apetizers for another 20 minutes, and forgot to bring our drinks. Yhen we waited almost a hour for or food. I was told if was the weekend, that they were busy, and that I should have made a reservation. Thd table next to us had to send their drinks back, and the busy boy ended up having to take them he order for the table next to us. Terrible service does not even begin to detail the experience.

Food was amazingService was fantastic, very niceAmbiance was also greatGo to this place, 10/10 recommend

Surprisingly great food and service. We arrived w a reservation and no expectations and were thoroughly delighted. Aaron was completely well versed in the menu and an excellent server. Bolognese, lamb shank, carpaccio, and crème brûlée were all delicious. It was a 5 star evening
