MIO DIO | Italian Foodbar Veldhoven — Restaurant in Veldhoven

Are you looking for authentic and delicious Italian cuisine? Look no further. Giovanni, Peppe (the owners) and his crew got you covered. Before visiting Mio Dio (means My God), of course I read the previous reviews. There was not a single review that scared me, what a nice sign.

To keep it short – I am insanely and utterly in love. I would recommend this restaurant to anyone if I could, I would go here every week. The atmosphere was cozy and the interior welcoming/unique. Relatively fast service even though it was a full house. A MUST TRY is their starter “Pizza fritta” 10,5€ (fried pizza filled with ricotta and topped with caramelized red onion) and bruschetta (best one I’ve had in my life!). The fried pizza might not sound tempting, but you are in for the most pleasant surprise.

A carbonara is always a safe choice – so we ordered that. I have been to Italy. I remember what fresh pasta tastes like, the feeling of being well taken care of at a restaurant and the smell of true authenticity. BAAM! That is exactly what this carbonara made me feel. Not to mention, it was not too heavy, perfectly salted, excellently fried guanciale and just enough of pepper and parmesan taste. This was the best carbonara of my entire life. As Giovanni had the service mind of top class, he kindly accepted my tailor made pizza request. I wanted mozzarella, cherry tomatoes, mortadella pistacchio pesto, pistacchio flakes, extra burrata and parmaham. If you want tasteful pizzas with a gorgeous crust? Mio Dio is for you.

All this food surely filled us up, but what is life without dessert? A scroppino + straweberry scroppino + lava cake later, I almost rolled out of the door. Both of the scroppinos were out of this world and would fit perfect on a warm summer’s day. The lava cake came with both whipped cream and vanilla ice cream. Those flavour combinations blew my mind! So moisty, so divine. Uff.

This is not a recommendation, this is a demand. MIO DIO has to be next on your devour list!!! Love you all Mio Dio crew, until next time (very soon!) The only slightly negative note I have, is that it was a bit too crowded, loud and tiny. I hope in the nearest future that they will expand their eating area so more people can enjoy...

We had a wonderful dinner experience at this cozy Italian spot in the center of Veldhoven. The service was friendly and professional, and the outdoor seating had a calm, welcoming atmosphere.

We ordered two pizzas with chilled white wine. The Mio Dio pizza (as the name in tje menu) was full of bold flavors — spicy salami, salsiccia, gorgonzola, and nduja crème. The crust was light yet crispy, and the spicy oil added a nice kick. If you enjoy rich and spicy combinations, this pizza is a must.

The second one was the 4 Formaggi — a white pizza topped with mozzarella, ricotta, gorgonzola, and parmesan. It was perfectly balanced: creamy, cheesy, but not overwhelming. The ricotta added a fresh and fluffy texture that paired beautifully with the crisp wine.

Everything tasted fresh and homemade, especially the dough and cheese. You can tell real care goes into each dish.

The wine, the food, and the relaxed vibe made it a memorable evening. We’ll...

Food is absolutely delicious, best pizza I have ever had. We had a birthday party planned and we also had a little girl of 2 years old with us. Unfortunatly someone complained about her making too much noise and an employee of the restaurant came to us and asked to keep the noise of her down. That is impossible with a girl of two years old. You can explain to her to not talk as loud, but she will not understand that yet. From that moment it felt uneasy and with the pizza's also taking longer than normal to arrive we made the decision to take them with us and finish the dinner at home. That was a really down moment in an otherwise perfect evening.

You can enjoy MIO DIO, but don't take your kids, they are not welcome if they make a bit of noise...
