Italia Mia

Great food and outstanding pizza from this locally-owned gem.  The pizza is NY style and as good as it gets in Indiana.  We get a lot of pizza take-out there but we have never had a bad meal or poor service on the occasion that we dine in.

Would not go back. Food is just okay portion are very small.

It was ok.

Went with my girlfriend the other night, we'd been wanting to try it out for quite some time now.  As we walked in it smelled of garlic, which we both love.  We were sat in a corner by ourselves, and the service was decent aside from a few errors(asking for refills on drinks and bread).  The bread was good, but plain, and was served with olive oil and what I believe to be Balsamic Vinegar.  Flavor combination there was awful, for me.  I'd have much rather had a blend of salt, pepper, and herbs with the olive oil.  But that's just me.  We started off with two appetizers, the Calamari and the Mussels.  Let's start with the Mussels.  They were steamed in a garlic white wine sauce which was delicious, and the mussels were cooked well.  No complaints there.  The Calamari on the other hand was awful.  It was WAY overcooked, and served with a dry salad.  Not very creative at all.  I could barely chew it.  I work in a kitchen myself, so I AM very picky and judgmental, but there is no excuse for overcooking Calamari that bad.  In a deep fryer it should be dropped no longer than 30 seconds.  For our entrees, I chose the Veal Saltimbocca and my girlfriend chose the Penne a la Vodka with a Vodka sauce, clearly.  The Veal and the prosciutto were both cooked very well, with an appropriate amount of sage.  Very good, although I'll admit I was disappointed to find no crispy outside.  It was served with spaghetti.  Very simple, a definite classic.  The Vodka sauce was decent, but I'll admit I'm not a fan to begin with.

Overall it was a good dining experience, but I feel as though I shouldn't have paid for the Calamari at all, because it was truly the worst I've ever had.  For what you get with the Calamari, even if it is cooked right, it is grossly overpriced.  Had I not have paid for it, or consumed it, I'd have been happy.  I give the restaurant 3 stars.
