Opened in 1991, Max a Mia was named “Best New Restaurant” by Connecticut Magazine in its first year, and “top-grossing restaurant in its size” by Restaurant Hospitality. The restaurant is now in the good hands of Executive Chef Bob Peterson, who has brought an exciting new energy to the restaurant.

Max A Mia is the quintessential Italian experience in the Greater Hartford area. It also continues to garner awards and accolades. Featuring a traditional Italian menu, it utilizes an authentic brick oven that produces stone pies with unmatched flavor. Traditional veal, pork and pasta dishes, as well as inventive risotto offerings, set the mood for desserts including tiramisu and white chocolate polenta cake.

An extraordinary and comfortable 25-foot granite bar has elevated Max A Mia to the social place in the Farmington Valley. The dining room features wood and tile, warmly lit by custom fixtures to create a sophisticated and luxurious – yet friendly, family environm

    Appetizer was thrown onto our table by a random server and was overcooked. Entrees were bland and the scallops were sandy. Portion size went way down, prices went way up, menu options way down, food taste way down. 1 appetizer, 2 drinks 2 desserts was $75, they did not charge us for the entrees we didn’t eat.

    From the greeting by Hostess Jennifer and the service by Bonnie we had a great evening. The meal I wanted had an ingredient I was not familiar with. Bonnie explained it to me and I did not seem interested so Bonnie suggested an alternate. I loved the dish and next time I will try the spaghetti neo. The 4 of us had a great night at the table we requested along with Bonnie!

    Scallops dinner with gnocchi was outstanding. Steak special was also outstanding. My wife loved the salmon, but could not finish it. Service was great.

    As good an experience can be. My wife and I have never had a problem dining at any Max restaurant over the years! We will always continue to frequent Max-a-Mia restaurants during our retirement!

    Very good Italian food in a warmly lit, family friendly place. We had two seafood dishes, both of which were nicely prepared and full of flavor. Excellent, friendly waitstaff and fast service.

    Great food and great ambience. Christmas Eve was packed so louder than normal. Our server Talia was terrific. Food was delicious and everything was quick for being so packed full during the holiday.
