Mio Restaurant & Bar Reviews Summary

Service and Staff Friendliness

Pros:

• "The food tasted good and the front of house staff could not have been more helpful and friendly."
• "We were greeted well and all service was excellent as was the food."
• "A very warm welcome by Fabio, not the owner, who is keeping an eye on everyone."
• "The staff in general are great which makes the atmosphere welcoming and the food tasting even better than it already is."
• "Service was impeccable, the lady serving us fussed over my newborn baby periodically throughout which was really sweet."
• "Lovely customer service, tasty food and super sensible prices."
• "Five stars all around. Party of 12 and they moved patrons around to make room for us."
• "Great service - AMAZING PIZZA! Proper Neapolitan thin crust and delicious marinara sauce."

Cons:

• "Food is great. The restaurant is quite small and we found that the kitchen could not keep up with orders."
• "The place was full and we didn’t reserve but we enquired about a seat...they then charged us SERVICE charge."
• "While sightseeing we've entered for lunch and since we’ve entered we loved this place - pizza was tasty and service was delightful - we’ll come back here in future for sure."
• "That sauce created me acid reflux all the evening. The young restaurant assistant was super kind, but the manager wasn't."

Food Quality and Taste

Pros:

• "The mushrooms were succulent and the sauce was wonderful. The pizza bread was gobbled by us both."
• "Everything was fresh! Everything was light and airy! We had room for dessert."
• "A great Italian restaurant with phenomenal service. The food was excellent and they have a good discount for students on almost every item on the menu."
• "Delicious proper authentic Italian food, can tell that the chefs are really talented at what they do."
• "The pizza was fresh and delicious! Got the napolitana, margherita with tuna, tortellini with spinach and ricotta and puttanesca."
• "The food at this price point is top shelf. 13” personal pizzas with excellent thin crusts and toppings."
• "An absolute gem in London. Delicious food, great prices, and calzones bigger than one's head."
• "Absolutely fantastic, highly recommended to anyone. The food was great, the service was excellent, and the prices were brilliant, especially for London."

Cons:

• "Unfortunately the restaurant had a new pizza chef and the service was very slow, our starters came out 10 minutes apart."
• "The puttanesca was a tad bit salty."
• "However, the spaghetti bolognese portion size was a little small. Would’ve liked to have a little more."
• "Good atmosphere but was disappointed by the lack of authentic pasta. Tortellini was basically any supermarket pasta."

Atmosphere and Location

Pros:

• "Mio has a lovely atmosphere and the food is some of the best Italian I have ever had."
• "This cozy Italian joint serves up fab pasta dishes like drool-worthy arrabiata and tasty puttanesca."
• "Mio is a hidden gem of a restaurant. The food quality belies the prices."
• "Quaint restaurant which cultivates a really nice atmosphere (probably dampened by my 3 children)."
• "The atmosphere was so warm, cozy and inviting that it just made me like like I was in Italy."
• "Lovely little restaurant round the corner from Strutton Ground."
• "Small place with such nice servers, open kitchen and quality food."
• "Small but modern and nice. Food was excellently prepared."

Cons:

• "We were practically sat in the kitchen. But overall, this place is a great way to top off your pizza cravings."
• "The place is a little tight. The pizza is tasty with nice thin crust and fresh ingredients."
• "I went to this restaurant by tube and walked like half an hour and the place was closing when I finally made it there."
• "The food is excellent, with the only reason for the reduction being the ambience - the atmosphere could be better from the interior and from the staff."
