Review Mi Piaci Ristorante - El Paso

I was visiting El Paso for the day with my mother and this restaurant happened to be near the salon we were going to. We decided to dine during lunch around 12:30 and it was fairly empty. I thoroughly enjoyed the food it had a very good taste and it wasn’t over cooked at all. The waiter was very polite and kept checking on us. If you’re near the area I definitely recommend this spot!

Have lived in El Paso for 6 years my wife has lived here for 30 and this is one of the best meals we've had in town. Incredibly authentic delicious menu options and I highly recommend the cafe latte and krembrulee for dessert.

Delicious dinner, wonderful pasta and attentive staff. Definitely recommend trying them out. We went for a celebration dinner. The restaurant is popular so make sure you get a reservation.

I’m not going to lie, the food, the deserts, the drinks, the staff….just Amazing! When i took that first bite, i almost cried of how good it tastes. A definite must try!!! The tiramisu and cappuccino we took to go were sooo good too. From a very satisfied customer in Corpus Christi Tx who critiques food for a living, 😉my sincere compliments to the chef and staff. Thank you!❤️

I've been looking for a good Italian place in El Paso for a while. The food is great. The place is definitely a higher end experience, although maybe it needs a little TLC. Our tables were wobbly. The food and servers are with it though.

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 presentation was excellent, the dishware was impressive, and the service was attentive to say the least. The meat sauce was succulent and balanced, the pasta was perfectly tender and with just the right firmness. The atmosphere was a bit solemn, which went just right with the mood for the evenings course. Overall, it made for a fine evening. Buona Serata!

Symphony in my mouth!! You can taste the cook's years of experience in his food, best Valentine's Day ever. They had a special menu. Food was fantastic as well as the service. Planning to return many more times. Highly recommended. Thank you to Jane our server, you were awesome. :)

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.

Great atmosphere, ambient lighting. The server greeted our table very quickly and the wine suggestions were great. My friends ordered the eggplant Parmesan and polla alla vodka those were delicious but the sea bass and the salmon dish lacked flavored luckily it didn’t have a fishy taste. It is expensive despite lack of spices but overall good experience at the restaurant!

We had such a lovely Italian meal here. All of the pastas are homemade and the rosemary bread was so good. We had the gnocchi and Marsala pastas and both were so savory. The service, however, was even better. Several waiters cater to your table to make sure you have everything you need and that your glasses are always full. The atmosphere is really special and we really loved all of the hanging candles. It’s very romantic. Make sure you dress up a little because this is definitely a date night spot.

Just finished dinner and was very pleased with this dining experience. Food was good, I had lamb and a glass of Toscana--Fantastic. Wait times for our meal is my only grievance, but the chef puts a lot of flavor to make up for it. The head chef also came out and chatted with several diners. Decently priced and well worth. Definitely will visit again. Wine service was very professional too!

My wife and I had reservations. The staff were very friendly and attentive. I had the canneloni al forno, which was absolutely delicious. The bread was very good, as well. I had a Moscow mule, and it was very delicious. My wife had the lamb and sangria. The lamb was pretty good. The sangria was amazing. The atmosphere was pretty good, however, the outside of the building could really use updating. Definitely recommend it and would go back.

I’m surprised I’ve never been here! I always pass it thinking about going and I’m glad I finally did. I will say that the restaurant itself is definitely different, has a weird smell in the building, I think because it’s an old building. The service was not AMAZING in the beginning, took a long time to get our drink order and it felt like they had a sudden rush and servers didn’t seem prepared, but it did get better, and honest everything went fine once they got their flow. The spaghetti Bolognese is out of this world, the sauce is so rich I couldn’t believe it, and that’s what we ordered for my 3 year old. We ordered bruschetta and carpaccio as a starter, they both were very delicious! The olive oil they use is definitely straight from Italy, so bold and flavorful. The carpaccio was not cold and at room temperature exactly how it should be. For main course we had the scallops with amaretto sauce and the tilapia with the chipotle sauce. Again, everything was very good and delicious the portions are great and I would definitely recommend. Also, the limoncello martini was So Good! You have to try it here. I will definitely be back, the food was delicious and I can’t wait to try other dishes on their menu!

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 to 5 other tables occupied. I'm giving 4 stars because the food was great and our waiter looked like he was the only one in the restaurant working. He did a good job although it took a while I don't blame him. I probably wouldn't come back because of the time it took for the price I paid for the meal.

Great place to dine. The calamari and the carpaccio were perfect. Starters were great. Waiter was very focused. In the end, people from another table payed our bottle of wine.

I can understand what people mean about the place needing updates. However... food was great! Service was great! I love how they start you off with bread with olive oil and always offer refills. I will definitely come back!
