My bride and I took our neighbors to Mia Madre's the other night. Young Alex greeted and escorted us to our table in the main dining room. It's a BYOB place and Alex opened one of our bottles to let it air. We go there often and without even asking they sent a few appetizers which included greens and beans, meatballs and fried cheese. Each one was delicious! Our main courses were a chicken piccata, veal parmigiana, ravioli and my wife's favorite cod and beans. Alex senior stopped by to make sure all was well with our meals and sent us a lemonchello cake for dessert. It's such a family restaurant it reminds of eating Sunday dinner at grandma's. I've said before and will tell you again, I've never been disappointed at Mia Madre's... "TRY IT YOU'll LIKE IT!"

Cute cash only family run business! Love to support excellent local cooking! Let's talk appetizers: the beans and greens were truly amazing they were my favorite part of the meal. Also had the sausage and peppers which were perfectly spicy. The meatballs were perfectly cooked and tender! A proper meatball none of that spongy overcooked greasy meat mixture. Mains: Can't go wrong with the chicken parm! Nice ratio of breading to meat and so tender it could be cut with a fork. Veal with peppers was also really tasty but can't hold up to that parm.Dessert:WHOLLY CANNOLI!!!! Get the desert life is short and calories don't count when it's feeding the soul the way this perfect little treat will! Tiramisu gets an honorable mention.

Years ago this restaurant was located in Kennedy twp (Kenmawr Plaza). Came here with my husband and our then 3 year old son for an early dinner on a weekday. When we walked in the restaurant was completely empty and the hostess told us that there were no available tables and that they were all reserved. Again this was like 3/4pm on a weekday. We were so confused, then quickly realized that they did not want to seat us and assumed it was because we brought our child. I have never experienced anything like this and was so insulted. Hopefully things have changed since then but would never give them my business because of that experience.

Boy did this place save our birthday celebration. A nearby establishment closed "because of emergency" - and with our party of 8 (!), we had to make a quick switch. Mia Madre'a host was so friendly and welcoming. Easily got a huge table. We liked our apps - beans & greens w/ sausage and meatballs. Not life changing but pretty tasty. Pasta dishes were quite good --- linguini with chicken masala; fettuccini Alfredo with chicken. The interior of the place is a bit dated - but it's kind of fitting. Dessert - we tried the sampler (tiramisu, limoncello cake, 1 cannoli). The 1st 2 yum -- the 3rd was no bueno. WARNING --- THIS PLACE IS BYOB!! ($10 corkage) All in all - we had a really good night!

We had an enjoyable dining experience at this old-school family owned joint....it was fun. Our server, Wayne, really made the meal more enjoyable with his personality--he was fun. The zucchini app was unremarkable. The Provolone wheel however was fantastic! The cheese ravioli was fresh and plentiful. I had the chicken with roasted red peppers and banana peppers and it was super. It's not cheap--but what is nowadays? At least I can take ur own wine

I had always wanted to try this restaurant. My friend and I went before the holiday house tour. Unfortunately, it wasn't as good as I hoped it would be. I'll start off with the positives. The owner was very nice and made it a point to talk to the guests. The waitress did come and check in on us. The fried zucchini wasn't too bad. The meatballs were very good. Unfortunately, the gnocchi was just ok. It didn't have a lot of flavor and I feel too expensive. On the menu it said it was $17. However, when the waitress asked what type of sauce and I wanted and shared the list, it would have been nice to know that the blush sauce was a $9 up charge. I would have never chosen it. They definitely should let you know.

Fun little mom and pop Italian restaurant. Old fashioned vibe inside. Friendly, laid back servers. Chicken Romano melted in your mouth. Zucchini appetizer was hot and delicious. Shared limoncello cake which was a perfect top off to our meal. BYOB and cash only.

Walked in without a reservation and they were very accommodating. Service was spotty-it wasn't busy, but our waiter disappeared for long periods of time. No bar-just BYOB. The owner said we should have been offered a complimentary glass of wine (it wasn't offered)I had gnocchi with a meatball and my husband had a hot sausage casserole. We just weren't fans of the sauce. (the same sauce seemed to be on everything we ordered) The sauce was very acidic and on the sour side. (I don't mean it was bad, but just very tart) I don't like sweet sauces-but this just seemed like the other end of the spectrum.I had just been to a different Italian Restaurant in Bridgeville and was amazed at the depth of the flavors-and how velvety the sauces were. This sauce didn't come close to that. While the food was OK, we probably won't go back.
