Mimmo's Italian Village

My second time going to dinner at Mimmos with friends and we loved the restaurant the first time but not so much this time around. We were luckily able to get a table for 9 the day of but the service was really poor. After being seated we waited 15 minutes until our waitress came over, so we ordered our drinks, appetizers and food all at once. We shared three sangria pitchers which were pretty decent. I preferred the red sangria over the white one as it had a deeper fruitier flavor and wasn't as sweet. The pitchers were large and served us well. We then shared 3 calamari platters which seemed big but unfortunately were mainly fried batter than the actual squid. 3 platters surprisingly disappeared quick and I think we had hoped for a bit more squid, lemons and sauce for the price. My boyfriend and I shared the spicy sausage pasta and we loved it, was our favorite part of the meal. It had the perfect flavor and was super creamy, we just wish there was more since it's a nearly $30 dish! Our friends all seemed to like their dishes as well. The ambiance is stunning and it's in a great location. Only thing we were disappointed about was the fact bread was no longer free and costs $8 for a seemingly small platter. We were disappointed to see they took that away as the prices are really high for their food, too expensive in myOpinion and the service was pretty poor. The water refill person was attentive and we loved him but the servers never checked in on us and it took a really long time to order. Our waitress also weirdly made us order all the way across the table of 9 people rather than walking over closer which we thought was a bit odd. It made it a little uncomfortable to order and we were hoping she'd walk over to the other end of the table but she didn't seem to notice. Overall the experiences we've had are good but I do think for the prices free bread and better service would have improved our time here!

Straight to the point - the food is not good. We ordered arancini balls which were OK, the octopus salad has seen better days, caprese salad is made from Costco ingredients - bland and tasteless tomatoes and average off-the-shelf mozzarella. Children's pizza is just focaccia bread with cheese - which should be advertised as such. The eggplant Parmesan was quite disgusting with bitter eggplant smothered in sauce.The wine was rancid - which they did replace. Seems like this place caters to the tourists who are looking for a Disneyland-style "Italian"ambiance and happy to eat Olive Garden style food. Do yourself a favor and go to Isola down the street if you're actually looking for real Italian meal!

Couldn't remember if I left a review for this place and sure enough I did. And I'm happy to say that a decade later, I still love it and order the exact same thing. Old habits die hard. The only thing I add now is the arancini as an appetizer. It's also become a favorite for my family when they're visiting from out of town. Everyone can find something they like, and the service is always wonderful. Plus, they take reservations - although if it's a bigger party, you need to call versus making them online. Also, the location is right between the fountain/plaza area and Little Italy sign to get those photos. Parking can be tricky so keep in mind there's a trolley stop a few blocks away, which was super helpful for us. Had to up my review a star because consistency matters. Thanks, Mimmo's - see you again soon, I'm sure!

Stopped here for lunch Saturday and unfortunately we did not enjoy our lunch! We ordered calamari and meatballs as an appetizer Cesar salad and beef/pork lasagna. The food arrived all at once, was cold and tasted like that just got out of the freezer warmed up and served. I could tell the food was probably just sitting there for a while. Service was ok not great she never checked on us or asked if food was good. I understand restaurant business is a hard business but when you are charging $30 for a plate and $16 for Cesar salad the food should be served hot at least!!

This is a sit down restaurant in Little Italy area. There's plenty of indoor and outdoor seating, reset outside since the weather was nice. We ordered the chicken Parmesan , with burrata and calamari as appetizer. Both of them were very delicious and flavorful. The chicken Parmesan was very crispy, but I believe the breading could be slightly better. The pasta was well cooked and sauce was delicious as well. I would recommend this spot for quality Italian food. Our server was kind and friendly , and the presentation of the dishes made the meal even better. Would recommend

We had a delicious meal or linguine with clam sauce and spaghetti and meatballs. The bread was amazing, though not free any more and the calamari was tasty. I enjoyed the ambiance and our server was great.

Mimmo's! After accidentally making reservations at another place in Little Italy that I absolutely am not a fan of we quickly pivoted to Mimmo's. We were able to get last minute reservations, thankfully.I'm so glad we ate here and didn't bite the bullet and just stay at the other place. The ambiance is perfect for an Italian restaurant. It was buzzing, but still felt intimate. The staff was attentive and friendly. He even surprised us with a birthday treat.The octopus salad appetizer we got was top notch and the pasta we split was also delicious. Make sure you make room to enjoy some of their complimentary bread. The bread and oil are so good!

Cutest restaurant ever! Husband booked my birthday dinner here and it was amazing! The decor, service, food was great. We were seated immediately even though we arrived earlier than our reservation. We had the stuffed mushrooms to start with, and ordered the campanelle sausage and build your own pasta (gnocchi with pesto and blackened chicken), as well as tiramisu. Everything was delicious, probably the best Italian food I've had so far in the US. The husband had secretly requested a sparkler on the tiramisu and it was beautiful. We had a wonderful time here, would definitely come back! Happy eating!

Enjoyed a group dinner here. They were able to accommodate our large group on just a two day notice. The waiter was excellent and patient with our group. The food was good.

my wife and I had lunch at memos we highly recommend you asked for the server Stephanie she's highly professional, courteous, and helpful. We shared a Italian sub sandwich which was out of this world along with their Greek salad delicious two glasses of wine and the price was affordable. I highly recommend this restaurant.
