Italia Mia

Italia Mia is always delicious. From the hot subs to dishes like Chicken/​Shrimp Parm, they’re always filling! The portions are large (enough for left overs), and some of the dinners come with a full plate of spaghetti or ziti with sauce for about $ 12.95. The table is served with dinner rolls as well. For appetizers I always order their to die for Garlic Knots ($ 5). It is a busy spot, so expect a little wait or just get take out. The combos are great as well. The Veal/​Eggplant/​Chicken Parm with a side of ziti and red sauce was perfect! $ 13.95. I had enough left over for a fulfilling lunch the next day.

This place is amazing been coming here for years & love it. Great lunch specials. & there pizza is to die for!

Coming from Italian Family from North East, I know or grew up with Homemade Italian Food, Authentic Italian Food, This is as Close to Your Nono’s as you will get, Authentic Italian Food Subs get #11, Pasta Baked Ziti, Lunch anything, Pizza get a Large Special, all the best stuff MANGA

Have been coming here for 20 years. Great Italian place. Pizza is amazing and I always end up ordering chicken parm diner. Family owned, owner is visible and approachable and makes pizzas. Love the feel and smell of Italian Mia. Forever a customer

Been there a couple times with my kids and we really enjoyed the relaxed atmosphere. Casual after work/​school place to go if you don’t want to cook dinner and the food is good and authentic Italian.

My husband and I have been bringing in from here for years and occasionally eat in. We love the baked ziti dinner, veal parmigiana hero and fried calamari! Great value and big portion size! We always have delicious left overs!

Nice busy please… good food though a little salty for this guy who doesn’t use salt… nice helpings… decent price… waitress was awesome.

We were there a couple times a few weeks ago and I am just now getting around to writing the review.
This is a true mom and pop establishment. The food is not fancy but it is GOOD. The prices are fair and the service is straight forward. They take care of your needs and get the food to your table. The baked bread is the bomb. There is variety on the menu from scungilli to pizza and about everything in between. We had the fried calamari, scungilli salad, a couple pasta dishes. All were very good. You will not go home hungry.

Good, cheap, consistent quality. Friendly local neighborhood joint. What’s not to like? Try anything Parmigiana — you can’t go wrong.

I came in yesterday (10÷9÷15) with a friend. I had a drop dead gorgeous blond waitress but that doesn’t sway my review although I did want to run off to Maui with her.
Great service overall, good sauce (I had muscles in red sauce) and very tasty pizza. It’s nestled in the corner of a plaza so keep your eyes open a bit. It’s worth the trip.

Great food! I always get the chicken parm with baked ziti which I always split with someone and we can still have trouble finishing the whole dish. Fresh baked bread prior to entrée (unlimited), steaming hot stuffed baked mushrooms, side salad which is nothing special until you add the homemade house dressing which is the best. Love this place, never disappoints!

OMG! Hands down the best bread on a meatball sub in St. Petersburg. My father bought us 2 subs and some garlic knots. We split each sub between three people and it was more than enough to share. Would really love to try there pizza, let’s just say I’ll be back. It’s nice to be able to get some good Italian eats for a decent price.

Awesome lunch specials! $ 6.95 I got a salad, fresh, tasty, homemade rolls, a dish of baked ziti so large my hubby and I could have split it. The cheese and sauce was absolutely delicious! My husband got sausage and peppers, superb!

The food here is excellent, viking sized portions. Location is a bit cramped but hey when you have a winning restaurant you don’t go crazy changing things. I come here often the pricing is fair and quality of food is great.

My family & I have been getting take-​out here since the early 80’s.
Italia Mia is as GOOD as it gets!
My cranky NY/​NJ friends have even declared this the BEST «NY style» pizza they’ve ever had outside of the North. A very rare award indeed!
As for the pizza? It’s true NY style: firm, but foldable crust, AWESOME marinara, great cheese, and not skimpy on toppings.
My Mom swears by the baked, stuffed shells. I bet she would eat this dish daily, (if her cardiologist would allow it!). GREAT ricotta stuffing, covered with a massive blanket of mozzarella cheese, yet again smothered in their MAGIC marinara sauce. Nothing frozen! All homemade…
Either on pizza or a baked sub, the meatballs are to die for! I pride myself and get many compliments on my meatball recipe, yet these are just as good, if not better? (sniff!)
The #11 cold Italian sub is really, really excellent and addictive. I had a good friend move away West from here for 20 years. Upon her recent return to our area, her first request was to go and get an Italia Mia #11 sub! Now that is an awesome and rare recommendation!
I cannot comment on the wait staff, as I only get take-​out.
My only request? It would be to use fresh mushrooms, not canned. But in the overall picture it matters very little. The marinara is sooo good, it is easily overlooked.
I noticed pizza prices have been steadily rising? Blame inflation, not Italia Mia. Quality ingredients cost more. I prefer to pay a bit more than eat slop, and Italia Mia knows this!
I laugh at the comment about «grumpy» service but totally understand. Why?
Most often when I call to other take-​out joints, especially at weekend prime-​time, I get LONG wait times — often 45 minutes plus…
Yet at their weekend busiest, Italia Mia take-​out is always just 15 minutes? Wow!
I have been getting take-​out here for 30 years now and always seem to get the same older counter guy with the moustache, hat, and curly hair. While not a «soup-​Nazi,» nor mean, I do understand the «grumpy» bit.
I think it’s just that this guy is sooo busy getting take-​out orders out in just 15 minutes, that I believe he has little time to «make friends.»
Frankly, Italia Mia’s food is so awesome, that guy could cuss me out in Italian each visit, and I would gladly come back again, and again, and…
A treasure for real Italian food in Pinellas county… Bravo!

This is a hidden gem in St Pete that I hope the rest of the Bay Area doesn’t find!
Small dinning room with less than 20 tables. the food is GREAT pizza lasagna pasta is the best in town huge I mean HUGE portions so when we eat here once it’s like getting take out because we always bring home leftovers
No one has ever finished their entire meal at our table !!!

$ 6.95 lunch specials, unlimited fresh baked bread and salad is included. The portions here are good, great actually for the price, and the food is nice and flavorful. Obviously for the price nothing is super fancy but it’s all good. The salad is basic, lettuce and tomato with like 2 olives. The service is fast and efficient and you should have no problem getting in and out on your lunch break.
I’ve visited them about 4 times in the past month and have never been disappointed. Service has been the best when seated with Pena.

My mother, my boyfriend, and myself were struggling to find a restaurant that all three of us would be excited to go to. Italian food is one of the few cuisines that all three of us can agree upon, so we did a search for local Italian restaurants and found Italia Mia was highly rated. We found that their price-​to-​deliciousness ratio was even better than described in previously submitted reviews; excluding a platter clearly meant to serve two, everything on the menu was under $ 15.
This is a rather small establishment, located in a strip mall. They focus more on food than ambiance and you can tell that they take pride in their food. I got the manicotti and it came out nice and hot. It took a couple minutes for it to cool down, so I know it was fresh out of the oven.

This place was sooo terrible. I have no idea what my friends were thinking when they suggested it.
The meatballs had zero spices, the red and white sauces obviously came straight out of a gallon tin can. Everything was so terrible and bland. A 3 year old could’ve made better pasta. Never again!

I really hate giving one star reviews but this place deserves it. Pizza was horrible. Cheese was cheap, sauce was generic and completely bland and the pepperoni (which they also skimped on) was worse than a chain restaurant. The cheese didn’t even cover the entire crust. It’s like they added extra crappy sauce to make up for the lack of bad cheese.
I also got cheese sticks and $ 5 for five small (and not very good) cheese sticks is a total ripoff. Once again, I was excited about the good reviews but was sorely disappointed. By far one of the worst pizzas I’ve ever had. And I had been out and had a few beers too, so what does that tell you?
On top of all this, the staff wasn’t very friendly. I came in, picked up the pizza, even tipped the guy. No thank you, no have a good night. This place is worse than horrible. It’s an abomination. I will stay as far away from this place as possible. I’m sorry, but really bad pizza makes me mad!

This has to be one of the worst places I’ve ever eaten at in my entire life.
My friend said they had great Italian really thought we give it a shot never again. Started with the calamari. They didn’t even skin it. the breading was pathetic and it was super bland.
For dinner I had the linguini with a mushroom sauce. It came out reeking of garlic in a very sweet marinara sauce. It was terrible.
Friend had squid in same tomato sauce equally as bad.
The rolls service here are straight from a high school cafeteria. horrible
Looking around I could tell people came here for quantity not quality
I will never come back and would never recommend it to anyone
