"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, Brittany Britto Garley
"Maybe you’re the kind of person who thinks an Aperol spritz and a bowl of pasta or velvety panna cotta will cure what ails you, then check out Mimo in the East End. Hidden behind a sprawling strip center, the rustic Italian spot looks straight out of one of those paintings of a pastoral Tuscan farmhouse. Think Sicilian beef paninis, fluffy pink radicchio salads, and creamy fettuccine. And, if you gaze through the pink curtains for long enough, you might even glimpse a picturesque landscape sloping toward the Mediterranean Sea instead of a parking lot." - 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
"Mimo, an Italian restaurant, circulated its wine club link to gain subscriptions while it was closed due to the power outage." - Brittany Britto Garley
"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
