We are open! Come and join us and check out our beautiful new bar and dining area.
The foundation of good Italian cooking is the freshest of ingredients prepared with simplicity, bringing together flavors so no one ingredient overpowers another. Mimmo’s Italian roots begin in his hometown of Bagheria, Sicily. The fresh fruits and vegetables picked from his family’s farm were on the table, or tavola, that night. Our logo of the lemon and lemon flower, or zagara, is a symbol of Sicily’s rich history of growing and exporting lemons, and a reminder of Mimmo’s many memories of lemon picking in his grandfather’s groves.
APRIL 30TH 2023 IS OUR 11th ANNIVERSARY!
OUR HOURS ARE: MONDAY THRU SATURDAY FROM 5PM. WE WILL BE CLOSED THE MONTH OF AUGUST. WE WILL BE OPEN DEC 24TH AND DEC 31TH 2023
STARTING NOV 1ST WE WILL HAVE VALET PARKING IN FRONT OF MIMMO'S

    1st time. Had very good reviews and the menu was reasonable. We wanted to find another Italian eating option in the Valley. We agree it was very good and we'll return.

    We had veal piccata and saltimbocca. Both items were well prepared and served nicely. The veal cuts were not the best we have ever eaten but were still very good. The same could be said for the saltimbocca dish where the sauce is heavy with the cheese, probably mozzarella. The carrots side dish is excellent. All in all, Mimmo's is well worth keeping on one's restaurant return list.

    I LOVE Mimmo’s. I try to go each time I’m in the area. It is a favorite. I love the service, the ambiance, the food. I am giving only four stars for my review solely on the fact that they forgot to bring out the bread and olive spread and we had to ask twice for it to be served. This is a favorite of the family so it was noticed when not brought to the table. I would HIGHLY recommend Mimmo’s for anyone looking for a good quality Italian meal.

    My wife had the veal Marsala while I had the Ossa Bucca special. Both meals were outstanding. There is a small wine selection. My wife had a La Crema Chardonnay (excellent) while I had a presumptuous house Merlot. It was very good. A very enjoyable and edible meal. We shall return again and again.

    Disappointed unfortunately. Previously we had only been for Happy Hour but decided to bring friends for dinner. Timothy was our server & he really tried, but he might need a bit more experience. We all ordered something different & all concluded it was ok, not great. No reason to return with the amount of Italian Restaurants in the valley.

    This is one of our favorite go to Italian restaurants. Mimmo is very welcoming, the staff is friendly and efficient and the food is very good at a reasonable price. My favorite is the veal saltimbocca which I have on a regular basis. Our favorite location is the enclosed patio area near the reception - the tables are spaced apart nicely and you get the feel of patio dining.

    My family of 3 adults ate on the outside covered patio on a wonderful evening, so this enhanced the ambience. Our server, Valentine, was awesome! He was so jovial, friendly and helpful with menu advice. Our food was superb as usual. We will look forward to another meal soon at Mimmo's Restaurant.

    It’s a small thing, but I was not asked if I wanted ground pepper on my wedge salad. Nor on my gnocchi, dinner. Had to track someone down for that. Lighting is not the best. We sat in a corner table. Where my mother, the birthday girl was sitting in the dark. And I sitting to her right had lights in my eyes that probably were projected on the art on the wall. Otherwise service was good, ambience was nice and the food was phenomenal. We had a great time!

    Food and ambience was great. However the host just killed the mood for the entire evening. He was not familiar with the ADA laws. He saw my service dog [a trained Hearing Dog] and immediately said we had to sit outside. Host checked with the manager, who said we have a dog. …didn’t clarify it was a Service Dog. Finally he let us sit inside. ..no smile , no apologies. In fact, we we felt like the host was watching every move our dog made so….a poor host, who does not smile or have any charm can ruin a dinner…even if the food is fantastic

    My wife and I enjoyed a delicious meal, great service and wonderful ambiance while dining outside on the covered patio. I enjoyed the crispy polenta with the delicious mushroom sauce and my wife enjoyed the flavorful Caesar salad for our appetizers. For our entrees, my wife enjoyed the linguine all puttanesca and I loved the special pasta with fennel, sausage, and mushrooms in a tomato cream sauce. Our server was attentive and pleasant. We finished the meal with the tasty carrot cake. The evening was so pleasant on the outside patio. We will return soon to Mimmo's Restaurant.

We love the Nipozzano Chianti, Caesar salad, olive tapenade, Osso Bucco, the special Sausage Rigatoni entree, and the Bomba dessert. We will definitely return to our favorite Italian restaurant.

    Wow! we loved Mimmo's. We were there on a Monday and it was quiet due to the day and time of year. I fear with many diners, this may not be true if you are looking for quiet. Food and service were outstanding. Great wine list. Bar area feels a bit cold and sterile in the decor; definite lack of cozy but only the decor. Friendly staff and full bar. Great spot and we will be back ( to help them paint the bar walls a warmer color -- LOL )

    We were virtually ignored for most of the night. Although seated outside, there were others that received their food in a timely manner. They apologized saying they were "slammed" but the restaurant was fairly empty. They did comp a dessert but I wasn't really impressed with the food. I had been there before so I don't know if they changed management, but I liked it the first time. Both our meals were just average.
