MIDA Boston Reviews
Good food and nice staff.
Price is not cheap but quality of food is good. Would return for another meal.
Third time's the charm! My first 2 visits to Mida's Eastie
Third time's the charm! My first 2 visits to Mida's Eastie location didn't impress (gorg views though), but their South End spot was a winner. While the foccacia was too oily and service was subpar, the eggplant parm, olives, mushroom

We had not been to MIDA South End for many years, but I remember enjoying it. (We have tried the newer Newton location several times, but it was not nearly as good as I remember from the South End.) But my parents were coming to town for my mother�

Came here on a whim on a Wednesday night and had the best experience. Hostess Haley was amazing and went out of her way to make sure we were comfortable with our seating. Bartender Danny made us insanely amazing drinks and our food was so fresh and d
I really liked the ambiance here.
The music was great and added to the overall vibe but wasn't too loud. Service was overall friendly from the host to the waitress. Overall the food was ok. There were some hits and misses. For instance, the carrots were absolutely amazing and we
I will forever think about this lasagna.
You combine 2 things the beauty of short rib and the delicious layers of love with a lasagna. The twist on this classic dish is a match made in heaven, so much so that not only did we get it but it seemed every other table did too. A real crowd pleas

**********BE CAREFUL************ MIDA will cancel your outdoor reservation if the weather threatens. VERY poor customer service; made a reservation 2 months ago, for an outside table; night of the reservation the forecast was for 40% chance of rain..
Noelle, our lovely server, was attentive and personable.
It was a thrill to sit at the Chef's table, watching the chefs orchestrate the meals so smoothly and rapidly! We dined there during restaurant week, but ordered extra food to take home! We wanted to try it all! We'll definitely be returning

We had originally booked a table at the South End location but switched last minute to East Boston. We chose to sit indoors, which in hindsight was a mistake--the view was stunning, but the interior had more of a cafeteria feel than a cozy dining atm
I've never had a bad meal here.
The servers are always knowledgeable and attentive. I highly recommend doing a family style dinner so you can try as many dishes as possible.

This place is amazing! The outside looks super fancy but once you are inside it's a perfect setting for an upscale meeting or something casual. Our server Maddie was very sweet as was the sommelier recommended a fantastic table wine for us from
Fan of MIDA here with a service review.
Had a typically great dinner with one subpar dish, which we sent back and were told would come off the bill. Server forgot to do that, which we noticed when back home. Next day I stopped by and asked to have the dish refunded, only to have the manage
Best in Boston
MIDA is the best Italian restaurant in Boston! The service and quality of food is outstanding and the restaurant is charming and comfortable. I would highly recommend it to anyone wanting a memorable dining experience.

We went to the restaurant with a group of friends and family. The table wasn't ready right away, so we hung out at the bar before being seated. The staff were great, and the food came out hot and quickly. They let us enjoy our conversation witho
A fine experience
Excellent food. The gnocchi was melt-in-your-mouth delicious. Also recommend the arancini and citrus almond cake. Nice wine-by-the-glass selection, moderate prices.
ProsCons
Beautiful location and great service from our waiter Grady, who was friendly and attentive. Unfortunately, the food did not live up to expectations — the pizza was burnt and the flavors of the other dishes were not authentically Italian. Also, the
Neighborhood Gem
This restaurant is amazing! We went on a busy, rainy Saturday night. Our reservation was 7:45 however we were not seated until 8:15. This was not a problem for us because we heard the food was phenomenal so we were fine with waiting. Our waitress,
Beyond delicious.
The food is beyond delicious; it’s imaginative and beautiful.. The service is gracious and friendly, and the atmosphere is lively. It is my favorite restaurant in the south end.
Neighborhood gem!
Fantastic tiny Italian restaurant in Boston's South End.. Eggplant parmesan, arancini, and mussels were fresh & delectable. Cocktails and red wine were perfect compliments to the food, and the service was outstanding, professional, and just
Must go to spot!
Great ambiance. People and music vibrant. Food was excellent - Italian with a twist. Our server, Savannah was fabulous. Very accommodating and knowledgeable about the cuisine. Will definitely go back again!
Delightful dining in Boston
Fabulous dining experience.The service is great, the food is delicious and the price is very reasonable.Great drinks, wonderful appetizers, tantalizing meals and yummy desserts! We couldn't ask for more!
Mida never disappoints!
Mida is a really great restaurant in my neighborhood in the South End of Boston. I eat at Mida on a regular basis and it never disappoints! I am lucky to live a half a block away from it.
Fabulous Italian restaurant in Boston
Dinner with our daughter and son in law. Fabulous food, wonderful service, a little pricey, but overall wonderful. High end Italian. Everything was delicious.

Passed this place a million times and put it in the back of my mind to try...finally had a lil sumthin' to celebrate and went over to give them a try. I enjoyed the short-rib lasagna nice and tender meat and just enough tomato sauce to make it a deli

Came here for a birthday dinner! I made a reservation the same day since it was a Saturday evening but probably would have been okay to just do a walk in though it was nice to be seated right away. There's a patio for outdoor eating but it was warm o
I really enjoyed our meal here at Mida.
We were a large party celebrating my cousins graduation. The service was excellent and the food was even better.
They were very friendly and the food was excellent.
We had a great time and it's a fun atmosphere.
What a gem of a spot.
The ambiance is positively adorable, with clean white decor interior and a quaint plant-adorned exterior with some tables. My friend and I picked this place for it's gluten-free pasta, as she has a gluten allergy and dining out can be challenging.

I used to love this place and considered it my go-to spot for dinner, but my recent experience was deeply disappointing. First they sat us away from the designated seats within the gate...which is awkward and the outdoor ambiance missed the mark. You
Really italian italian food.
Really tasty and friendly service. Great experience there.
Unbelievable, as always.
Tried the arancini tonight which were to die for, and pictured here is the gnocchi cacio e Pepe! Light, perfectly seasoned, and delicious. Paired it with a killer espresso martini!! Service was top notch as always, and I will continue to say that the
Great food but slow in coming.
I suspect there are capacity and production challenges in the kitchen of this great restaurant. We arrived on time but our table wasn’t ready, and we were not alone in this. Waiting customers clogged the tight confines as wait staff tried to serve
Just Perfect
Every aspect was excellent. Food was delicious with the carrots oddly enough taking first place over the wonderful duck wings and eggplant. You are surprised that carrots could be the best dish; just try these. (Diners are the next table also decl

Wonderful spot for dinner! We came for mangia Monday which was a LOT of food (had leftovers) but it was fun to try so many pastas. It seems like their mangia Monday pasta selection changes at times also. Overall, everything was quite salty and we pro
10/10 best Italian food EVER.
Service top notch. Wow wow wow - I can rest in peace. Thank you!
Minimalist fancy interior that was nice.
The service was kind and attentive. The wine was not fantastic but maybe we didn't order the right thing. Half the roasted chicken was very dry and the other half was juicy. The risotto it was served on was great. The short rib lasagna was just dry a
Trip to Boston .
.. worth it! Besides the amazing city - this restaurant made the experience. I've always heard that Boston had incredible Italian food, and this place definitely fit the bill. A small, intimate restaurant with amazing service. If you eat at the bar,
Came here for weekend brunch and had a fantastic time.
I was debating whether to get the Eggplant Parmesan sandwich or the Shakshuka All' Amatriciana and ended up going with the Shakshuka based on the waitress's suggestion. I'm so glad I did because I think it was the best Shakshuka I've ever had! Even b
Disgusting food ordered on Doordash.
It was nearly 30$ for a tiny, child sized portion of over-salted, over-cooked, oily gluten free pasta amatriciana. It was such a disappointment. I used my allowance for work on the meal so had to choke it down. Woke up at 3am with a stomach ache. Wou
Plain out amazing.
Every dish we had was simply delicious and I cannot wait to return. Every trip to Boston this will be one stop we make. Bravo
Small servings
Delicious food but servings were small. Waitress, Danielle suggested we order a few items off the menu to share. Arancini were tasty but the size of ping pong balls. Smallest Arancini I have ever been served. The salad our waitress suggested was del

One of the best in Boston
Everything was 5 star. Especially Emily our server. Can’t wait to come back. From the appetizers, to the entrees, to the amazing desert
Needs Gordon Ramsey - yuck
Worst place ever Horrible service, sat at the bartender took our order and disappered never to see her the rest of the night. Rest of bar staff/ manager more interested in their personal conversations than assisting customers except barman filling
Connect with users posting reservations for MIDA Boston
AppointmentTrader is a community-driven platform where users can exchange their reservations or leverage their personal relationships with MIDA Boston. Buyers can make informed decisions using automated seller ratings, which reflect past transactions and reliability.
Each posting on AppointmentTrader shows you which user submitted it and along with that provides a trackrecord of that user which indicates how much experience
the user has and how many percent of their transactions resulted in them issuing a refund.
If there is no user posting that fits your schedule, you can bid on your preferred time.
Let's say Peter has a great morning and decides to take his three friends to MIDA Boston at 6 PM the same day.
He checks the restaurant's website and sees that no reservations are available. He then looks at the MIDA Boston page on AppointmentTrader, but finds that there are no user postings either.
That's where the community-driven bid process comes in.
Peter can place a bid on AppointmentTrader, which serves as a reward for any community member who chooses to work on securing the reservation. AT then notifies experienced users who may be able to help.
Step-by-Step Process
1.) Setting a Reward (Bid)
* AppointmentTrader uses historical data to recommend a reasonable reward amount for securing a reservation - let's say $100.
* Peter really wants to go, so he increases the bid (or reward) to $200.
* At this stage, the reservation does not exist yet.
2.) A Community User Picks Up the Bid
* MaternalRecord73, an experienced AT user, has a strong track record of successfully securing reservations and low refund requests, they receive a notification about Peter's $200 bid.
* MaternalRecord73 picks up the bid, meaning they will now work on securing the reservation.
* Peter can now talk to MaternalRecord73 for any questions Peter may have as MaternalRecord73 user fills the bid.
3.) Finding the Reservation
* MaternalRecord73 now uses their connections at MIDA Boston to secure the table.
* If they successfully get the 6 PM table for four, Peter receives a confirmation that the reservation has been secured.
* If MaternalRecord73 fails to secure the reservation, the bid is returned to the pool so another user can try.
4.) Payment & Protection
* Once the reservation is secured, MaternalRecord73 receives the $200 reward which is credited to MaternalRecord73's AT balance, where users manage their own funds and can withdraw via available payout options such as bank transfer, PayPal, or Zelle.
* Peter can now enjoy the dinner with his friends at MIDA Boston!
* As with all transactions on AT, disputes and no-show fees are handled through the platform's community-driven resolution system. Users with a strong track record are incentivized to fulfill bids successfully, and community members can report issues to maintain trust in the marketplace.
