The only things that I think should be improved are: there are no gluten free main dish options apart from a big steak dish that should be shared among 3 people. They should explore adding a couple gluten free dishes for main course or having gluten free pasta available. This is important. Timely arrival of pastas for all guests. Our second pasta dish arrived very late (20 min after the first pasta was served) and this was an awkward delay. We were one of the first tables to be seated at 5pm so this delay was not very appreciated.

Immediately upon entering, you're enveloped in a special kind of energy...the kind of buzz and excitement where you feel like you're in the presence of something special about to happen. And that something special comes in the form of ricotta toast and seasonal pastas. You've probably seen the ricotta toast everywhere, and I'm here to tell you that YES it tastes as rich and luscious as it looks. The accompanying mushrooms add the perfect amount of acidity, and the perfectly crunchy/chewy toast brings it all together. Pasta-wise, the bucatini was our favorite. The savory nduja paired excellently with the pecorino in the dish that kept on giving. The sheep's milk ricotta occhi is good as well, and the corzetti was simply a fun pasta type we've never tried before. And my oh my, don't even get me started on the pistachio gelato...BEST pistachio gelato I've had in my life. If you enjoy a strong pistachio flavor (nut chunks included), you must get this. Come to Misi. Just do it.

I expected more from handmade fresh pasta. Ambience is beautiful but the table next to us sent back their food and got into an argument with the waiter. They bagged our leftovers, forgot to give us them, so we asked. By the time we got home we saw they gave us someone’s half eaten food. Gross. Disappointing. Probably won’t go back. Expected more but expectations were incredibly let down. Food: 3 Service: 1 Atmosphere: 5 Meal type: Dinner Price per person: $50–100
