Mimì alla Ferrovia

I was travelling in Napoli and recommended Mimì from an Italian friend so I came alone for dinner. I’d proudly say it’s the best meal I’ve had in the whole Naples during my trip. The ambience was great, the food was amazing with a great price - not cheap in Naples but cheap in Europe! Highly recommend Mimì to any seafood lovers u will not be disappointed. The chocolate moose for dessert was the highlight, u do not want to miss out!

I really don’t understand what all the hype is about. The food we ate was nothing special. The pasta with clams and the squid besides being the most expensive dishes were the worse. The squid was bland and chewy, and the clam pasta was too salty. To be fair, the ziti with tomato sauce was very good thought.

It starts with a warm welcome of the 91 young owner! If you’re looking for an authentic taste of Naples, Mimi alla Ferrovia is an absolute must-visit. From the moment you step inside, you’re enveloped in a warm and inviting atmosphere that feels quintessentially Neapolitan. The restaurant seamlessly blends tradition with charm, offering a dining experience that reflects the city’s rich culinary heritage. The menu is a celebration of classic Neapolitan cuisine, with each dish crafted to perfection. The seafood is as fresh as it gets, and their signature ragù is rich, flavorful, and unforgettable. The ingredients are clearly of the highest quality, and every bite showcases the chefs’ dedication to excellence. The staff are friendly, attentive, and incredibly knowledgeable about the dishes, happy to guide you through their offerings and recommend the perfect wine pairing. It’s evident that they take pride in maintaining the legacy of this iconic restaurant. Whether you’re a local or a visitor, Mimi alla Ferrovia captures the heart and soul of Naples on a plate. It’s a place where tradition meets passion, and every meal is a celebration. Highly recommended!

An authentic dining experience in Naples. The restaurant filled up with locals on business and in family groups. Traditional service with trolley at table to serve pasta and fish dishes. The cuisine is authentic and unpretentious. The wine list is better than most in Naples with some good choices from Campania and other regions.

Today was our family's first time coming to the restaurant for the New Year! OMG! Everything was so amazing! From the customer service, the waitress, the restaurant staff, the chef, the food! We had an amazing time and thank you all for making our New Year dinner special! I will recommend anyone this amazing restaurant.

Very good! Easy to see why it’s one of the most popular foodie destinations in Naples. You can taste the history in the dishes and you can tell by the professionalism of the waiting staff that this place has been on top for a long time. Food was superb fresh and , tasty. Very well balanced. Personally, I found the eggplant Parm to be a little soft for my liking, but it was still very good. Slightly premium priced but worth it. Definitely recommend!

We visited here on a recommnedation of a Napoli friend. It's a mainly seafood place but they were able to get us couple of vegetarian pastas. Food and atmosphere were good. We found the staff very rude and unfriendly. No smiles, no welcome. They seemed to be friendly with other guests whom they know personally and were talking in Italian. They ignored us completely as tourists. Not something you would expect from a place of this reputation.

The restaurant was recommended to us. We were there with our two children and were very impressed with the food. The pasta alla genovese in particular is sensational! The service was also very friendly and helpful. Would go there again at any time.

One of the best restaurants I've ever ate at. The service was amazing, food was absolutely flavorful, and ambience was lively yet relaxing. Everything was so fresh and made with such love. Will be dreaming about this meal when I get back to my country. 100000/10

Spent one night near Naploli Centrale (area is very dirty and gross, lots of trash everywhere, wouldn't stay near here ever again) and lucked out that this place was a short walk away. Very cute sidewalk seating and the food was great. Good wine selection. We got there around 8:30 and got seated pretty quickly for wanting outside, and by 9:00 there was quite the line. Service was good. Not everyone's English was good, but way better than our Italian. Would definitely go back.

I had read that while in Naples I should try buffalo mozzarella and pasta a la Genovese and this place had both! The buffalo mozzarella was huge, way too much for just myself but really good, and the pasta was excellent. I wish I had stayed longer to enjoy some dessert.

Ricotta stuffed pepper roll and Mozzarella de buffol with shrimp tartar were so unexpectedly amazing. Condella ala genovese, was inspired. Paired with some delicious white wine and you understand why this place is so popular with natives. Dessert of fig and ricotta cake was simple, sweet and delicious. BTW, coming from America i wrote a google translated ask for a reservation for two (not knowing they don't accept reservations for so few guests). They happily obliged! Classic and comfortable. The staff was efficient but not terribly engaging or pleasant. We luckily met a table of a delightful father and son from Bologna (huge Basketball town...?) who translated a little for us and we are now convinced to make trip there. Mimi can be hard to get but worth the effort.

Bustling interior. Delicious food. Welcoming servers. Tasty bread. They were willing to serve food not listed on the menu.

What an experience! Luciano and the whole team made our lunch very memorable. He is a perfect waiter, polite but not boring. Actually not boring at all! We told the ower that we were afraid we might get charged extra for the comedy of Luciano, he was that funny. I am not gonna add spoliers but if you already are on good terms with him and he is in a good mood ask him to take a pic of your table. Our results were hilarious :D But we were not only big fans of Luciano and the owner and the whole team we all left satisfied. Surprisingly good is their house wine, especially the red one. Don't hesitate to order their red. It is outstanding and local. Same goes for the white.

Amazing night at Mimi's. They have Gragnano! The service is excellent and we highly recommend the tastes of Naples antipasti. Thank you for a wonderful dinner :)

Exuberant cover charge. 25% of our meal. Food was descent. The items we ordered totaled $33, but the total was $42 euros. There were $4.2 cover charge plus another $4.3 service charge. This amounts to 25% more than what we expected. Now we understand why this restaurant was marked as expensive. We wasn't sure if the surcharges were listed on the menu though. Service was very fast and efficient. I ordered octopus in tomato. There were 4 octopus. Three were fresh and yummy. One was not as fresh. It tasted fishy and meat is not as chewy.

Upon entering the restaurant around 9pm, a departing patron shared that he had arrived at 7 when they opened, and I wondered if I should have made a reservation. Viewing interactions between patrons and staff while we briefly waited for a table conveyed the notion that this restaurant has a loyal following. Mimi's does not have to solicit customers off the street; customers find this gem at the end of a dark alley (with help, if necessary, from a sign on the street pointing the way) because they want the five star experience at a three star price. And that is what we got. To be fair, I did not make the best choice in my entree. For best results, ask for recommendations. The experience on the whole was wonderful. The eggplant parmesan appetizer was a delight, for only €3. The rum cake, with a fresh soaking of rum, was spectacular. But the best part was the service, which gives one the feeling that Mimi's is not just a fine dining establishment but la mia famiglia. Upon taking leave, one may wonder whether a kiss on both cheeks is in order, or just a simple hug. I did neither but returned to the dark alley with the warm glow--not just from rum cake--of having been attended to lovingly and knowing that I must visit here again. A gratuity of 15% was added to the check, and there was no cover charge.

I have been in Naples for about 6 months, and this is still one of my favorite spots. Pasta a little extra dente, but delicious with a fun staff.

When I was stationed here in 1999 I would go ALL the time so I wanted to stop in during my short layover in Naples. Quick review: It was dead inside. I also chose to eat around 7:30 on a Monday...when I left around 9:30 it was packed. Buffalo mozzarella - still the best I have ever had in my life and I have eaten all over Italy. Pasta Forno-- I was basically drooling when it was brought out. It didn't disappoint. Service was not what it used to be and the menu seems way smaller than I recall it being. People think Piazza Garibaldi is a sketchy part of town. Just do you what you do in any major city-- be a little more vigilant. I would not say its dangerous at all.. Naples is just a very"in your face" city.

Convenient to train station or markets. Involtini de peperoni (cheese/ham stuffed peppers) (2E) was great and so was pasta potate e provala(8E). Pranzo added up tp 20E with table charge, servizio and cafe. Elegant restaurant in a not so elegant part of town. Seafood and dolce seemed to be popular with regular customers so I might try those next time.

25 euro two courses and small bottle of white wine. Very good food and waiter spoke some English. Will go here again. Sea food salad was very fresh and very good, I also had Pasta fagioli, and as I am getting use to the way Italians cook, this pasta seamed a little over cooked. But as I said before I will eat here again.
