Fodor's Review:
Patrons don't seem to mind waiting their turn to eat in this affordable, 40-seat trattoria. Pasta Mia's southern Italian appetizers and entrées all cost around $10. Large bowls of steaming pasta are served with a generous layer of freshly grated Parmesan. Some best sellers are fusilli with broccoli and whole cloves of roasted garlic, rich spinach fettuccine, and penne arrabbiata (in a spicy marinara sauce with olives). Tiramisu, served in a teacup, is a civilized way to finish your meal.

Dont wait
Posted by LizWashington from Washington DC on 3/27/09
The food here is fine. The bolognese was ok a little salty and not too flavorful. The ravioli was ok too. The house red is ok. The service was horrible and rude. The line is a mystery. Why wait for a restaurant with poor service, that only serves ok pasta? We waited for 2 hours after ordering salad and pasta. I think Washington D.C. needs to learn what real Italian food is.

Well, our pasta dishes, once they arrived, were good to very good, but it was quite a long and annoying wait: Policies like cash-only and a $14 minimum per person whether you share a dish or order your own (even for our 3 year old daughter!), servers randomly removing items from our table to give to other customers without even a "do you mind?" Ridiculously sized entrees--they could serve 2 or 3 people which would make it a reasonably priced place--if only you were allowed to share without paying $14/person. We won't be returning, which won't affect them as they have lines day and night for some reason. Perhaps DC is full of masochists?
