A dating app for Italians around the world who want love to feel like home

There’s a certain feeling you get when you walk into a room and your shoulders drop.

When the noise fades and you’re with someone who understands you deeper than anyone else.

That’s home.

Mia was built to recreate that feeling in modern dating.

It’s a dating app for Italians and for people who live and love the Italian way, wherever life has taken them. New York. Toronto. London. Milan. Somewhere in between.

Mia exists for one simple reason.

To help people find real love that feels familiar, grounded, and deeply human.

Because Italian love is different.

It’s expressive.

It’s emotional.

It’s intentional.

It shows up in our words, our touch, our food.

And for too many of us, that kind of love is hard to find in modern big-city dating.

Being Italian isn’t just where you’re from

It’s how you live

You don’t need to carry an Italian passport to live Italian.

Being Italian is a rhythm.

A way of moving through the world.

A set of values you practice daily, not a label you wear.

Living Italian means:

• Family isn’t optional, it’s central

• Romance is something you do, not something you wait for

• Presence matters more than performance

• Meals are shared, conversations run long, traditions are protected

• Roots matter, even when you live far from them

At Mia, we believe this way of life travels well.

You might be Italian by birth.

By ancestry.

Or by heart.

If this way of loving resonates with you, you belong here.

Why Mia exists

And why other dating apps miss the mark

Most dating apps are built for speed.

More swipes.

More matches.

More options than meaning.

They optimize for volume, not values.

For attraction, not alignment.

For quick hits, not lasting connection.

For Italians and lovers of Italian culture, that can feel hollow fast.

Because when you love deeply, casually doesn’t cut it.

Mia exists to slow things down.

To put shared culture and lifestyle back at the center.

To create a dating experience where values lead and chemistry follows.

This is dating for people who don’t want to compromise how they love just to keep up.

The Italian love story

Still works for a reason

Italian love was never about perfection.

It’s about showing up.

About effort.

About choosing each other again and again.

It lives in small rituals.

In checking in.

In building something together instead of constantly searching for something better.

Mia is designed around that philosophy.

We prioritize:

• Meaningful connections over endless swiping

• Quality matches over constant stimulation

• Real conversations over shallow engagement

• Relationships grounded in shared values, culture, and lifestyle

This is a dating app for people who believe love should feel alive.

Not optimized.

Our story

Built far from home, rooted in it

Mia was founded by Italians living in New York City.

While building lives in the big city, our founders felt the same quiet frustration many Italians across the world know well.

The matches were there.

But that next level of understanding wasn’t.

The values felt misaligned.

The pace felt off.

The same emotional depth, the family-first mindset, the connection to culture and our homeland were harder to find.

The love they were looking for felt… rare.

So they built Mia.

Not just to solve a personal problem.

But to help Italians around the world find their person sooner, without having to explain the way they are or water anything about themselves down.

Who Mia is for

And who it isn’t

Mia is for:

• Italians living abroad who want a partner who understands their culture

• People with Italian ancestry who feel deeply connected to their roots

• Those who love Italian culture and want to build a life around it

• Anyone seeking a relationship rooted in family, romance, and shared values

This isn’t a dating app for casual scrolling.

It’s for people who want warmth.

Depth.

Intention.

If that’s you, you’re in the right place.

More than a dating app

This is about building something real

Mia isn’t just about meeting someone.

It’s about finding someone who understands your way of life.

Who values what you value.

Who wants to build something lasting, not temporary.

We’re building Mia the same way we believe love should be built.

Slowly.

Thoughtfully.

With care.

Because real love isn’t rushed.

And home is worth returning to.

Benvenuti a Mia.

A dating app for Italians and Italian singles around the world.

A place to find love that feels like home.
