Reviews for Mi Piaci Restaurant in El Paso, TX
Made reservations a two weeks prior for my wife and I to enjoy our anniversary some place we have not eaten at, some where that... looks romantic, and would have the perfect atmosphere on our special day. When making the reservation, it ask for occasion,which I noted. I kept it a surprise from my wife, wanting our evening to be perfect. Confirmed reservations when the email camea few days prior to our date. Our day came and I get an email stating our reservations were canceled by the restaurant. Noreason given, just canceled. I tried contacting them to see why or attempt to keep the reservation, but no answer, like allday. There will not be another attempt to dine at this restaurant, because that is not how you treat guest or potential guest. Read more
I had heard of this Italian restaurant a few times, mostly commercials. Decided to try it out. The food was very good, actually... better than good. I ordered your basic Spaghetti Bolognese, a timeless dish that will test any kitchen; well the presentationwas excellent, the dishware was impressive, and the service was attentive to say the least. The meat sauce was succulent andbalanced, the pasta was perfectly tender and with just the right firmness. The atmosphere was a bit solemn, which went justright with the mood for the evenings course. Overall, it made for a fine evening. Buona Serata! Read more
Amazing dining experience. The music and the service from the waiters is top notch. I had the pistachio pesto creme pasta that... comes with Shrimp. The crunchiness of the pistachio with just the right flavor from the sauce. Quality home made pasta.Definitely recommend this place! Read more
We really wanted to love this place because one of our friends highly recommended it. We went with another couple friend and it... seemed like the service was slow at first. There were only 2 waiters and place was pretty full. This was about 4 to 5 weeks agoand on a Saturday night. We ordered calamari which was really good and it came out after 45 hours of us sitting down. Our fooddidn't come out to 2.5 hours after sitting down. At first we didn't mind because we were having a good time with our friends.Although wait time was absolutely absurd. However our biggest disappointment came when the food arrived. It was so bland andtasted like hospital food, literally. When I said that out loud everyone agreed. Any how we ate it. At the end of the night weasked the waiter of wait time was normal and we nicely told him how the food was bland. The waiter informed us that the headchef was on vacation so the new chef I guess was nervous about giving the food any flavor. They should've mentioned that whilesitting people down that wait time will be longer than usual and food shall be bland bcz the chef is on vacation. The priceswere high. We spent 100 bucks on hospital grade food essentially. But even at a hospital the offer you salt and pepper which weweren't offered. The vibe here is nice so maybe go here for a cocktail only but not for food. Not worth it. You're better offdriving to Anson 11 or Ambar in downtown, paying the same prices but getting exceptionally good food and service. Willunfortunately not be back ever again. Read more
Food was delicious, wish the lobster ravioli wasn't out but I will hopefully be able to get it on the next visit. The calamari... and both the lobster and shrimp pasta was great. Will definitely visit again. Read more
My family and came here for dinner. The food was delicious. I got the lasagna and it was very good. The only down side is it... took forever to get our food. I think we arrived shortly after 6pm and didn't leave till after 8pm. The restaurant only had 4 to5 other tables occupied. I'm giving 4 stars because the food was great and our waiter looked like he was the only one in therestaurant working. He did a good job although it took a while I don't blame him. I probably wouldn't come back because of thetime it took for the price I paid for the meal. Read more
