Wife and I wanted to take the kids to experience a nice dinner. Not Olive Garden, not Chili's, not Applebee's. But a place that exhibited ambiance, a menu to explore and new experiences. The 2 kids (12 and 17) had never been here before but we had. Our time was EXCELLENT. We made them try our favorite appetizer (the risotto balls). The server is always so kind and attentive and really gives authenticity to the experience. Fresh bread and olive oil. My wife had the mushroom tortellini, my daughter and I had the lasagna (the best I have ever had) and my son went with one of their pizzas. We finished by sharing a Creme Brulee (again, our children are not adventurous but they all tried and loved it). This will be one of our very top "Go To" places. Grateful they are there.

Authentic Italian options. The food was delicious & the staff was super friendly. We enjoyed the meaty Italian pizza, pumpkin ravioli (with shrimp), and tiramisu dessert ... however, the chocolate hazelnut torte was the best. Both our wines by the glass were excellent (chianti tuscan & cabernet). Being seated on the patio was awesome. Prices seem reasonable for the great quality & service.

Went there for happy hour on a Monday evening. The place is absolutely charming & inviting & beautifully decorated. Our server is the owners brother-in-law & shared the history of the restaurant. The service was impeccable, the red wine blend was DELICIOUS & we’re very fussy wine drinkers. The egg plant appetizer, the bruschetta, the shrimp salad & chocolate cake are also outstanding! Highly recommend! We will be making this our happy hour meeting place.

We have been regulars at Il Mito in Tosa and loved the Il Mito Cafe just as much! We got drinks and an appetizer during happy hour followed by delicious entrees all around. Pumpkin ravioli and lasagna have always been favorites.

This cute little restaurant was within walking minutes of out hotel. We came at around 5pm on Saturday and it wasn't busy. Made it more cozy. Appetizer was the stuffed mushrooms. What i received was not what i was expected but the best stuffed mushrooms I've ever had. Ordered the ravioli and I was shocked to only receive 4. It was beautifully complemented with chicken and spinach. I assure you I did not leave hungry, it was the perfect portion and delicious. Dessert was smooth and perfectly sweet. Too many restaurants add way to much to the dishes like caramel and chocolate. They used berries for a perfect touch. It was perfect end to wonderful night of food. Only thing that made my evening damp was the waiter. He was pleasant and efficient. But he spent very long amounts of time with other tables and very attentive to their needs. I wish I would've been able to hear more about the desserts and foods like the other tables did. Again, he was not a bad waiter, I just wished I would've gotten the same 5 start experience he gave the other tables. I would definitely come here again!

Yum! My friend recommended this place and based on the reviews and pictures I was excited to try! We had made a reservation, though when we arrived around 5:30 on a Saturday night, there were a good amount of tables available. By time we left there was a line at the door. The restaurant is intimate feeling and the low light created the perfect cozy feeling. There are good variety of table sizes for all types of groups, and outdoor seating for those warmer days and nights. Looking around as we were deciding on what to order, everything that was being delivered to tables around us, looked delicious! I ordered the Tortelloni Della campagna, an amazing mushroom filled pasta dish. Everything was so good and the perfect serving size. There are plenty of options of wine to go with your pasta dish. I am excited to come back and try more!

"It's not about how much time you spend together, but the quality of the moments you share." Our first time dining here was absolutely amazing, from the moment we walked in to the moment we left. Their stuffed mushrooms and lamb dish was tasty and juicy. Calimari was absolutely delightful. Professional service and high quality food and drinks. I highly recommend IL Mito Cafe, you won’t be disappointed!.
