"Hidden behind an East End strip center, Mimo looks straight out of one of those paintings of a pastoral Tuscan farmhouse. The casual restaurant, with its deep blue walls, feels moody. It’s also full of giant bowls of mortadella-smothered pasta, massive steak sandwiches, and a killer radicchio salad we almost forget to chew." - chelsea thomas, gianni greene
"This Eastwood Italian neighborhood restaurant charms guests with a cozy atmosphere and classic Italian dishes. Plates of gnocchi in saffron sauce, fettuccine served with homemade pork sausage, and Chianti-braised beef cheeks with couscous consistently impress both newcomers and regulars, along with the intimate setting fit for a romantic evening or catch up with a close friend." - Marcy de Luna
"Hidden behind the Tlaquepaque Market strip center is Mimo, a rustic Italian restaurant serving a fleet of salads, paninis, bowls of pasta, and hearty entrees. Whether you enjoy pastoral Tuscan vistas or drinking Aperol spritzes at lunch time, Mimo can transport you straight to a still life painting of a centuries-old European farmhouse—with lots of ciabatta. Visit for a casual meal, a low-key date night, or a solo treat yourself pasta date." - chelsea thomas, gianni greene
"The Deal: Four-course dinner at $55 per person. Three-course lunch at $25 per person. Why We Like It: Mimo wants you to try both a pasta and a plated entree, and the four-course HRW menu is designed for you to do just that. Plus get a few appetizers and some light desserts, like amaretti cookies. We suggest also going for lunch when you can grab a soup and a sandwich for $25." - chelsea thomas, gianni greene
"The Deal: Two-course brunch for $25 per person, two-course lunch for $25 per person, and a three-course dinner for $55 per person. Why We Like It: Mimo makes the best Italian food on the East End. In a space filled with wistful landscape paintings and soft pink curtains, this rustic Italian restaurant feels like a calm spa compared to the blacktop outside. The menus are a little different than other HRW participants, as some liberties are taken with offering brunch and lunch service—something Mimo doesn’t do during regular operating hours—as well as daily rotating gazpachos and pizzetas to keep the menu fresh." - gianni greene, chelsea thomas
