At Mia Ragazza , we do Italian a little differently. Think warm hospitality, craveable classics, thoughtful wines, and a team that knows how to take service seriously—without taking
themselves too seriously. We’re here to create memorable experiences in a space that feels like your stylish best friend’s dinner party (if they happened to have a killer pasta recipe and a well-stocked bar).
