Mia’s Italian Ice

A dessert oasis awaits the savvy treat seeker at Mia’s Italian Ice in Lehi. You can grab a virgin Italian ice, but you’ll probably want to also sample the Italian shake or the Mamma Mia, both of which contain smooth, creamy custard. Actually, you’ll probably want to sample a little of everything. Mia’s is a haven of chocolate-dipped, candy-coated and fruit-flavored goodness. Be sure to save room — lots and lots of room — for a custard cupcake. With chocolate, cake, custard, whipped cream and tasty drizzles of caramel, fudge, or strawberry sauce, the custard cupcake is the Mother of All Desserts.

Old Towne Grill

In addition to friendly service, the Old Towne Grill — inside the Madison — oozes ambiance and its own quirky charm. Check out the Flash-Fried Artichokes and Santa Fe Rolls for appetizers. Our favorite entree was the Old Towne Burger — featuring a half-pound of beef topped with bacon, caramelized onions, blue cheese dressing and Madison sauce (a house variation on fry sauce) — but there are plenty of other menu options to whet your appetite.
