About this business
Stark walls landscaped with a plethora of photos distinguish this popular place in Lakeview. The bustling Mia Francesca resides in an old candy store and is one of the city's most authentic Italian restaurants. The menu changes daily, but you might find roasted salmon with sea scallops or selections of veal, chicken and sea bass. Pasta dishes dominate the entrees. The spinach ravioli is a crowd pleaser. Simple desserts complete the meal. Reservations are not accepted, and you can usually count on a wait, but the antique bar ... read more

great!!!!!!!!!!!!!! – The best seating is upstairs near clark street windows. a good menu and plenty of specials.
Situational – This is an energetic restaurant with a fun crowd. Here's the breakdown on the food: Calamari fritti - good, Linguine Frutti del Mare - avg, Tiramisu - great. Take advantage of the moderate Italian wine selection. Our waiter was a riot but the service was average. I wouldn't come here for the food so much as the atmosphere so the next time you want to "pre-game" with some friends, this is the spot. Expect to wait a while for a table so make yourself comfortable at the bar... that's always good start!
Buona Sera – Very good service. I like the way the orders are delivered to the table. Excellent menu.
As good as Mama's very own! – A relaxed and "appetizing" atmosphere..... A wonderfully diverse menu.....excellent service.... very fair prices.... but, the best Mia has to offer is it's delicious meals. Even the oil and bread is better than any other to be found in this city. Growing up as an Itlaian and exposed to the best in Italian home cooking, I never expected to find a restaurant in my own back yard that met my expectations, and Mia's does, every time. Another plus--they will make up a special little something for you,... read more
Absolute Deliciosa – I am a frequent diner at the fine Mia Francesca Bryn Mawr and all I can say it that you have to eat their food to know why I am a frequenter. If I may recommend some dishes, actually what I order every time I visit is, Cozze Calamari, delicious pasta dish with calamari, and their calamari fritti is to die for, melts in your mouth not in your hand.
Best Italian from an Italian – This is absolutely my favorite Italian restaurant. You simply can't go wrong with any entree you choose. Its all wonderful. And don't forget about desert. Their tiramisu can't be beat.
Yum! – This is a wonderful restaurant with great food and a great scene. Yes, it is noisy and crowded, but no complaints! That is part of the fun. The specials are always the way to go, and the tiramisu is perfection!
Worth the Wait ! – There is nothing in this city that holds a candle to this place in quality of food. It is a bit noisy, small, and tables are real close together but it is worth the loss of your voice. The service is incredible. All the servers know the food,how it is prepared, and can lean you in the direction of something your taste buds will love. You can an entire Saturday night to get in here but if you go a bit later in the evening, after a show, or some drinks, it is perfect.
Great food, great deal – This restaurant serves really good, simple Italian food at a great price--no wonder it's packed on weekends. It would be a fantastic date restaurant, but the crowds and the noise level sometimes make it difficult to converse. The service is very efficient, even when every table is filled and there's a crowd at the bar waiting to be seated. And the food is wonderful--the carpaccio appetizer melts in your mouth and the pasta dishes are always good deals. Worth the wait.
