Dishwasher Mia's Italian Kitchen 100 King Street, Alexandria, VA 22314

Mia’s Italian Kitchen: Old Town, Alexandria, Virginia. The building that presently sits at 100 King Street began its life as the Corn Exchange building in 1871. On corner of King and Union Streets in Old Town, Alexandria, Mia’s is truly situated on “Main and Main.” Mia's Italian Kitchen is rooted in family. The inspiration came Dave’s unique relationship with his great-grandmother – originally from Naples, Italy, she didn't speak a word of English, so they communicated through food. Arriving in the U.S. via boat in 1904 at the age of 20, Filomena Galeazzo Masucci settled in Rochester with her husband and had 7 children. One of her boys, ’Uncle Pete,’ went on to buy a 75-acre farm on the hills above Canandaigua Lake in the late 1940’s. Filomena moved with Pete & his wife in to their 105-year old farmhouse, and so begins the story of Dave’s experience with Italian farm-to-table home cooking. The menu at Mia’s was a collaboration between Corporate Executive Chef Graham Duncan and Partner Dave Nicholas to capture the essence of his great-grandmother’s rustic Italian cooking. She used easy, simple, raw ingredients - an approach that Mia's embraces in our menu.
