"We were able to sample numerous pastas and salad through the “Mangia Monday” deal. Among the dishes we tried were the bucatini All’amatriciana, paccheri bolognese, house salad, another mushroom pasta, and the pepperoni pizza. The pasta dishes were fine but honestly nothing special unfortunately. We really liked the salad though and our waiter was great!"

"Overall a nice trendy Italian restaurant with a good selection of bites! My partner and I shared three dishes and found that the star of the evening was the pistachio pesto burrata! We also had the mussels which were nice and sweet - the sauce it came with was a nice change of pace from your average red/white wine mussels. Also, the bread service was super fluffy and warm - really liked it! Unfortunately, the mushroom pasta dish was not to our liking just due to how oily the sauce was. It left an overall greasy mouthfeel and I felt that the mushroom flavour was only very obvious if you managed to grab a mushroom with your bite of pasta! Didn’t have room for dessert but the selection looked nice too."

The menu at MIDA Newton showcases a variety of Italian dishes crafted with fresh, seasonal ingredients. Pizza was great, pasta as well. Service is fast and friendly. Our early dinner was a highlight of the day."

"I was so excited to go here for my birthday and try the dine out dinner special menu. However, the food was just alright. I didn’t enjoy the risotto, as I didn’t taste the squash and instead mostly just the flavor akin to store bought Mac and cheese. The nuts were also really unnecessary and off putting. I would’ve preferred a different topping. The pizza was undercooked on the bottom. Also, the pizza stand was there for about 20 minutes covering a whole quarter of the table which made it hard to eat. I don’t think the food was worth the price. The dessert also took around 20 minutes to arrive(just for a small scoop of gelato) and was also not worth the price as well. Adding on to that, it wasn’t the consistency of gelato, more like slush. I will not be coming back in the future but I hope they improve."

"If you're looking for incredible Italian food and outstanding service, look no further than MIDA. The pizza was a masterpiece, and the tiramisu was heavenly—light, creamy, and absolutely delicious. Our server went above and beyond, adding a personal touch that made the evening so special. Celebrating a birthday here was a fantastic choice; the atmosphere and hospitality made it unforgettable. Can’t wait to come back!"
