Mi Piaci's Italian Restaurant - Odessa

So we went for our anniversary, the food is mediocre at best. We had stuffed mushrooms (suppose to be crab meat)..no crab taste, just stuffing and over seasoned…$15 for that. I had spinach lasagna..in no way is this an lasagna (see pic)..they had a few noodles on the side of the dish and one underneath and they fill the middle with cheese and a small amount of spinach..$18 for a pile of cheese. I’m married into an Italian family and this is not the Italian way. I give the 3 stars for our actress..she was great!

Wow... Really WOW! I googled for a restaurant and randomly chose this wonderful place. It is tucked into a nondescript shopping strip, but it was absolutely amazing. The restaurant was immaculate, greeting was warm, service was speedy and stellar, but the food was truly outstanding! We ordered chicken piaccatta and chicken tortellini, which came with a nice crisp salad (or soup) and decided to take home dessert with about half of our plated meal in a to go box, as the servings were so large. Absolutely nothing disappointed, from the moment we walked in, until later in the evening as we enjoyed the tiramisu and Italian creme cake. We WILL be back again! What a delightful treasure in Odessa!! This may well be our new favorite restaurant in Odessa!

Last time we ate here was 2 1/2 years ago. Back then the food was delicious especially the Alfredo dip. Idk if their chef changed or the ingredients since then but we ordered take out and it was terrible. The meatball sandwich was bland as heck and smothered with a pound of cheese, the chicken and shrimp Alfredo was a big let down. NO longer the Alfredo it was. ? They couldn’t even do a side salad well. Super pungent balsamic and old wilted lettuce. Sad because this place used to be great.

First time trying this place and it was amazing! Everything about this place was on point! The hostess was sweet and our server Barbra was the best! She was quick and so so nice. . We lacked nothing! Our food and our rolls with the oil was the best! We will definitely be back, soon! Thank y'all for everything!
