raccontati
Prompts that speak Italian.
Twenty prompts made for people raised on Sunday sauce, loud dinners and a nonna with opinions. Pick up to three and answer in your own words, so your profile sounds like you.
- Me as described by my Nonna:
- My most brutta figura moment is…
- If I were a type of pasta I'd be…
- The first thing I do when I land in Italy is…
- Pineapple on pizza — discuss.
…and fifteen more, from Sanremo to Sunday sauce.
italiani nel mondo
Home is wherever Italians are.
Italy's Foreign Ministry estimates that 60 to 80 million people of Italian descent live outside Italy, more than the roughly 59 million who live in Italy itself. Here's where the biggest communities live today.
persone vere
Real people. Verified faces.
Before verified members can see you, we check you're really you. And once you're verified, everyone you see has been checked too.
Selfie-verified, every one
Once you're verified, every profile in your Discover has passed a selfie check against its own photos, and wears the blue badge to prove it.
Checked before going live
New profiles are reviewed before they're shown. If something doesn't line up, a real person takes a look. Most decisions take under 24 hours.
One person, one account
Every account starts with a verified mobile number. One number, one account.
Report, block, unmatch
Always one tap away, from any profile or any chat. Our safety tips are here whenever you need them.
persone vere
Be one of the first verified members.
Real people, three at a time. Join the waitlist and we'll tell you the moment Mia opens.
tre al giorno
Three people a day. On purpose.
Every night at midnight, Mia brings you three new people. Not three hundred. Like, pass or say ciao, then put the phone down and go live your life.
-
01
Three, every midnight
Your selection refreshes at midnight where you are. Everyone gets three, and paying never buys more.
-
02
Like or pass. No swiping marathons.
When you both like each other, it's a match. In the app we call it a Nuova Connection.
-
03
Say ciao within a week
A new match waits seven days for a first message. Once you're talking, it's yours to keep.
famblock
Being Italian means nosy famiglia, so we made FamBlock.
Add up to ten last names to FamBlock and those families vanish from your feed, and you from theirs. Accents and spaces don't matter: Di Stefano, DiStefano, it's covered.
il tuo posto a tavola
Your seat at the table is waiting.
Mia opens this winter. Join the waitlist and be one of the first members.
la bella vita
Italian at heart, wherever you are.
Proud of the culture
The food, the language, the music, the noise at Sunday dinner. Here, the things you love about being Italian are something to share.
Famiglia is a green flag
Here, Sunday dinner with thirty relatives and a nonna who asks too many questions is a selling point.
Made by Italians abroad
Mia was started by Italians living far from home who wanted a better way to meet each other. So we built it.
di' ciao
Say ciao before you match.

- Matching and chatting are free. Always.
- Direct Messages go to people from your recent selections, and stay open for 14 days.

Still three profiles a day, for everyone. Ultra makes yours count.

Good questions.
Who is Mia for?
Italians and anyone with Italian roots, wherever home is. If you grew up with Sunday lunch at nonna's, a family that always asks if you're seeing someone, and more cousins than you can count, Mia was made for you. No Italian roots, but dreaming of an Italian life and love? There's a seat at the table for you too.
When does Mia launch?
This winter, on iPhone first. Join the waitlist and we'll email you the day you can download it.
Is Mia for something serious?
Yes. Mia is for people looking for amore vero, not an endless stream of matches. Everyone meets three people a day, and a match expires after seven days without a message, so conversations actually start.
What is FamBlock?
Add up to ten last names and those families won't see you, and you won't see them. Because nobody wants to match with a cousin, or have zia hear about it before you're ready.
Why only three people a day?
Because nobody falls in love with a stack of three hundred profiles. Three gives each person a real look, and everyone gets the same number. Mia Ultra doesn't buy you more.
How do you keep fake profiles out?
Every account starts with a verified phone number, every profile has to pass a selfie check before verified members see it, and anything that doesn't line up goes to a real person. See our safety page.
Is Mia free?
Yes. Your three daily profiles, liking, matching and chatting are all free. Mia Ultra is optional and adds extras like seeing who already likes you.
