About Mia Cucina Italian Cafe

Perched right above the Hillarys Marina boat pens, Mia Cucina serves up proper Italian comfort with serious harbour views. The vibe feels like dining at a generous family friend’s table—bustling, unfussy, and packed with regulars. Plates arrive in hefty, family-style portions. Diners swear by the fiery chilli mussels served alongside plenty of crusty bread for mopping, hot pizza straight from the oven, and the rich seafood pasta loaded with scallops and prawns. Coeliacs are looked after just as attentively, with dedicated gluten-free pasta and seafood options. Save room if you can, though most end up packing takeaway boxes after polishing off the house tiramisu.

  • Marina Waterfront Views: Dining room window tables look directly over the Hillarys Marina boat pens and waterfront.
  • Family-Sized Portions: Oversized plates of pasta, blistered pizzas, and desserts frequently require takeaway boxes.
  • Coeliac-Friendly Dining: Extensive kitchen protocols and dedicated gluten-free pasta accommodate coeliac diners safely.
