    Had the BBQ Salmon. It was a unique dish served hot and fresh. Never had sautéed strawberries on top of fish, but the flavor combination worked for me! Restaurant was clean, service friendly. Prices more than fair. Had several specials of the day and plenty enough servers to keep up with the tables. Enjoyed my visit.

    This has got to be one of the BEST places I have visited. When you enter, the atmosphere is very friendly, clean and elegant. The staff is amazing!! We were immediately seated and greeted by the most attentive waitress. We were treated like family. First. The Fried ravioli was a good twist compared to the cheese sticks. Chicken wings was next. The sauce on these wings were fantastic. A Perfect combination of sweet and spice. Fettuccine chicken alfredo, this was my dish and it was very creamy and delectable. The spaghetti is what my guest had and the review was that of "tasty". Not your typical sauce. Finally, a mouthwatering, juicy and yummy cheeseburger. (With fries) A flavorful salad with the homemade dressing could be addictive. Served with the right amount of bread and olive oil. Last but not least, Banana nut bread. topped with Ice cream and drizzled with caramel was a flavorful desert.

    Food and staff are wonderful. We had the fried mushrooms, tortellini, lasagna, ahi, blackened tilapia & shrimp--all hits. Family-owned, always welcoming!

    Nice little place. Service was fantastic!!! Interior design has a great appeal. The pasta we had was pretty standard. It was good and I have no complaints on flavors or portions, but it didn't set itself apart from other dishes at similar eateries. I would eat here again if I'm in the area. The one and only complaint that I have against the restaurant is the climate controls. It was uncomfortably warm in the dining area it felt like the ambient temp was somewhere around 78 degrees in there.

    Wait was about an hour, but it was Valentines Day, so that's understandable. Wanted to try the BBQ Salmon, but the menu for the day was somewhat abbreviated. Went with the Land and Sea, 2 thumbs up. Also had fried mushrooms for an appetizer, coffee, and tiramisu for dessert. I regret nothing and will definitely go back. Our waiter (Dom) was great and added to the whole experience being A+.

    My husband and I cannot stop raving about the lovely dinner we had at Mio Sogno, a gem in the heart of Oneonta. It was one of the most delicious, pleasant restaurant experiences I've had in a long time. We waited maybe 15 minutes on a Friday night for a table, just the right amount of time to walk and browse the cute shops and see the mural walls. The food was amazing (piping hot, perfectly seasoned, homemade-tasting Italian food). We even got dessert (which we never do): banana bread pudding! Our server was helpful, polite and attentive without being attention-seeking, and there wasn't any music playing, so we could actually hear ourselves talking. When they brought the check, we were shocked by how affordable the meal was. A five-star experience, from start to finish. We're definitely going back!

    My mom read an article in Southern Living featuring this restaurant as the best in Alabama -- or some similar lofty accolade. We were pleased to find it was in easy driving distance for us, and so off we went to give it a go. Located in the small downtown of Oneonta, we didn't have trouble finding nearby street parking during lunch time. Although the entrance and exterior is low-key, the interior is spacious, airy, and just classy enough for a restaurant that walks a nice line between a finer dining experience and an accessible but high-quality lunch spot. Large ceiling, exposed brick, etc. It wasn't super crowded but they were doing a solid business for a midweek lunch. Our waitress was spectacular. She was an older Latina woman with a moderately thick Spanish accent; I'm not sure if she gave us her name. She walked my dad to the restroom when we first arrived, patiently answered questions (both menu and non-menu related...my endlessly curious dad can and will chat up anybody!!), and provided great recommendations. She brought us to-go drinks and boxes without asking (though we definitely needed them!). She was just so perfectly attentive, warm, and gracious. HUGE kudos! Their menu consists of pasta dishes and upscale American and Italian classics like filet mignon and chicken Parmesan. They also have a few more lunch-y items like a steak sandwich. Entrees come with bread and salad for the table. There are jars of delicious, buttery, smooth and herbaceous olive oil waiting on each table to go with the bread. It was perfect with the warm rolls that were brought out to our table. We couldn't stop eating it. The shared salad was large and loaded with fresh vegetables and other goodies, including banana peppers, olives, tomatoes, and red onions. The house dressing was lightly acidic and enjoyable. We got a plate of fried ravioli to share to start. It was delicious! The cheese was SO gooey and there was no shortage of it inside the crispy, salty, breaded ravioli. The dipping sauce wasn't overly sweet and complemented it perfectly. For entrees, my dad ordered a blackened chicken salad, my mom got fettuccine Alfredo with chicken and vegetables (I know she kept mushrooms and peppers but asked for no broccoli), and I got crispy chicken Parmesan. They will grill the chicken if you prefer. This came with my choice of three pasta sauces: tomato basil, Alfredo, or creamy tomato basil, which is half and half tomato basil/alfredo. At the encouraging of our waitress, I went with the creamy tomato basil. Everything was absolutely delicious. My dad's salad was probably the weak link though was still quite tasty -- serves him right for getting a salad at an Italian restaurant. ;). It was huge and the chicken was cooked very well, not at all dry. Mom absolutely loved hers and was very impressed at how beautifully and subtly all the different flavors played together. The creamy tomato basil sauce on my pasta was absolutely fantastic and a great recommendation. The spaghetti was cooked perfectly. My chicken Parmesan was maybe the *tiniest* bit overcooked (edges were a little chewy), but the inner pieces were succulent and the breading and melted cheese on top was delightful. Everything tasted so fresh and flavorful. It was truly a delightful dining experience. This would be a great road trip for special occasions like an anniversary or even just for a fun way to treat yourself. Please give them a try if you're anywhere nearby. I hope to return in the future despite the distance.
