We were looking forward to eating at this restaurant. Came far out to come here as we saw it on the inkind app and wanted to try the food.
Ambiance was amazing but management service has room to improve. Came here to eat the bone in rib eye. They ran out and didn't try to make it right.
We told them that we came far our to eat here and try it out and the least they could do is make it right but they did not. Therefore, I have to give it a 1 star.
Ambiance was nice and has lots of potential but suggest they be customer focused especially when they run out of food items that customers come to try.

Wow. I can’t believe it took me so long to find this place. They’ve been open for 2 years now. We stopped by during Happy Hour and tried as much as we could. The Pane was delicious. We also went with the Crochette. The “salsa verde” was fabulous and the perfect pairing to the sourdough bread. The wine recommended was awesome. For the main course we split the risotto and the lamb chops. 5-Stars all the way. We will be back!

Mimo is a great choice for Italian food in the area. The food is consistently excellent, and the quality of the ingredients and preparation is evident in every dish. While the prices are a little on the higher side, the meal is definitely worth the cost. I also appreciate the transparency of their menu and pricing, which adds to the overall positive experience. If you're looking for a high-quality Italian dinner, Mimo is a great option.

Me and my wife been to Mimo's and really enjoyed everything a few years ago. Since then both of us are retired and had planned on going back. yet because of the increase in price we had to decline. We understand everything has gone up and hate because of retirement and not earning a living on a set retirement we have had to cut on everything! We wish Mimo's success in every way! We read about Mimo's and were heart broken about their struggles! Never thought we would be in this situation yet we are lucky than most and not lucky as others. In any way thought I would add my comment about the awesome place! Thank you sincerely Mr.Mrs Roberto Palacios an old customer and fan who still thinks of the days when we could afford to go to nice restaurants!

Mimo is a hidden gem Italian spot. It reminds me of the Street to Kitchen story, so get to it before everyone else finds out. Everything we ordered was delicious.
Yes, the pricing is a little funny. For example, my burrata salad should not cost the same as one of the main entrées, but whatever. I still give them praise for not being another Landry’s-style, well-oiled machine. The menu is full of interesting choices and the quality is fantastic. The service was great too.
Houston truly lacks quality Italian food, so this was a fantastic find. We even tried the carrot pizza, because where else do you see that on a menu, and it turned out to be absolutely fantastic.
You come here to explore your senses, not to order a pepperoni pizza. No judgment, just setting the right expectations.

Our table of friends was soooo glad we found a new spot to eat and meet. Very attentive and friendly service, fresh delicious meals from a compact yet diverse Italy rich menu, and yes, they do have a wonderful selection of Italian wines (and others) to choose from along w a couple of great Italian beers. The sourdough skillet bread w the charred crust was amazing, and all our main courses were met w much pleasure…this is truly an original neighborhood mainstay, and we can’t wait to get back and invite more family and friends. PS - the fried dough, rolled in granulated sugar, and drizzled in honey was perfect w the Cappuccino as they have solid beans here.

We visited Mimo for a couples’ dinner with some friends. The ambiance was warm and cozy, creating a great setting to enjoy the evening.
To start, we ordered the baked bread for the table, served in a cast iron pot—delicious and definitely a highlight. We also shared a pizza and the burrata, both of which were excellent. Unfortunately, the main dishes (pappardelle, house salad, and baked fish) didn’t live up to expectations and were just average.
While the menu itself is appealing, I think Mimo truly shines when it comes to their baked items. Anything bread-related—whether it’s pizza, bread, or similar—is where they really stand out.
Overall, I had a lovely evening thanks to the great company and inviting atmosphere, but given the high prices and only average main courses, I don’t think I’d return to Mimo.

Fantastic food, service, and ambiance. A hidden gem in 3rd ward. Upscale ambiance yet somehow still casual. Great for a date or a group.
Our server Philip was awesome, so attentive, and a true professional. The restaurant had a lovely atmosphere. I highly recommend all the antipasti but most especially the mussels and tiger prawns. Those paired with a bottle of Prosecco would be heaven.
