Boston · Short Ribs Thousand Layer

🍝 MIDA: Boston's South End Gem for Italian Comfort Food Intimate Vibes in South End Tucked in Boston’s South End, MIDA hits the sweet spot between chic and cozy—think dim lighting, exposed brick, and booths perfect for date nights or secret girl talks. Finally, an Italian spot that’s as pretty as its pasta! 💫 🌟 The Showstopper: Smoked Short Rib Lasagna Smoked Short Rib Lasagna $34 🍖 Worth every penny! This thing is a monster—layers of tender short rib, creamy béchamel, and mozzarella, all wrapped in pasta. Unlike basic lasagnas, the smoky meat flavor actually shines (no tomato sauce drowning here). Pro tip: Share with a friend—one order feeds two (plus leftovers!). Rock Shrimp Carbonara $28 🍤 Seafood twist on classic carbonara! Shrimp replaces bacon, but the egg-yolk-cheese sauce stays rich and dreamy. Topped with crunchy breadcrumbs—textural perfection. North Shore Fritto Misto $19 🦑 Not your average fried calamari! These squid rings are marinated first, giving them a tangy kick. Huge portion—great for sharing as a starter. Tiramisu with a Twist $11 ☕ Served on a giant plate with ladyfingers arranged like a sunburst. Waitstaff pours coffee over it tableside—watching the liquid soak in is half the fun. Rich, not too sweet, and massive. 💡 Pro Tips for Your Visit Order Strategy：1 main + 1 app + 1 dessert for two people—portions are generous. Date Night Hack：Ask for a booth in the back for extra privacy. Price Reality：$$$ for Boston, but quality justifies it—especially the short rib lasagna. 📍 Deets & Vibe Address：782 Tremont St, Boston (South End’s restaurant row) Ambiance：Modern rustic—think Edison bulbs, wooden tables, and low-key jazz in the background. Resy Recommend：Book ahead for weekends—this place gets busy! 🌟 Final Verdict: 4.5/5 for Italian Indulgence Come for the smoked short rib lasagna, stay for the show. MIDA proves Italian food can be both comforting and Instagram-worthy—just don’t wear skinny jeans! #BostonItalian #MIDArestaurant #SouthEndEats #LasagnaGoals
