Our former next door neighbor proposed an "Eating Adventure" to Mia Roma
last night. The last time she'd eaten there was well over 25 years ago,
but she wanted to try it again. The restaurant reminded me of the
Italian restaurants I grew up with in upstate NY: No frills, with wait
staff who do not give you their life histories. I ordered the
Michelangelo combo (meat ravioli, gnocchi, and cheese tortellini) with
meat sauce, while the SO ordered chicken cacciatore. The salad was
iceberg lettuce, tomato, and canned black olives. No arugula in evidence
here! The sauce and pasta were good. We all took home plenty of
leftovers. This is the sort of place I could take my picky,
Asian-food-phobic sister should she deign to visit the West Coast again.
