5 star for service and friendliness. The pasta dishes were good. Just didn't find that wow factor and sadly the menu is very limited. Not many options. The Bucatini Alla Amatriciana would be my go to at next visit. Ambiance is great! I would return but certainly would not wait in the one hour line again. read more

Ambiance: absolutely fantastic Waiter: sat at the table with us, wonderful Drinks: delicious, great variety Food: mediocre. We shared a pinsa and the toppings were well seasoned, but the crust was hard to get through. Likely wouldn't return for anything but the decor or a drink on the patio. read more

We had a great time here. Food is fresh and delicious. Service was good but they did have a hard time figuring out where to sit a party of 2. It was crowded and very tight seating. Just speaks to how good it is! Will be back here when I come to Italy! Fresh salads and fruit is a welcomed break from all the pasta! read more

Mimi e Coco Trast - Cheesecake was so good! Not too sweet at all! Loved it! - Italian Near Me - Rome, RM

Really enjoyed this place. It had a short line of 10 pp deep when we arrived at 7:45 pm. They have tables inside and outside. We were tucked into a cozy corner of the basement which had air conditioning. Service was superb. She was pleasant, offered good food suggestions and attentive. All salads are entrees, so we shared it. It was so fresh and delicious with olive oil and balsamic. The focaccia was good, but not the best I've had. I had bucatini alla Americana which was recommended by the server. So delicious. A hollow spaghetti noodle with red sauce, bacon and Parmesan cheese. Very tasty. The basement was cozy and tucked away from all the noise and activity. They bring limoncello with the bill. On our way out, the bartender gave us a second shot. Really enjoyable staff and atmosphere. Highly recommend. read more

Seeing as this place has 5 stars on Yelp and Trip Advisor with thousands of reviews, I had high hopes for our dinner here. The restaurant itself is very cute and it's in a great location. The food wasn't bad, it was just pretty average and I'm not sure I understand the hype. I ordered the carbonara after reading positive Yelp reviews about it and I really wasn't impressed. The bacon was the most flavorful part, but otherwise, the dish's flavors sort of fell flat. That said, we ordered the focaccia and the caprese salad as appetizers and I have to admit that it was (by far) the best focaccia we had during our trip to Italy. I had a limoncello spritz to drink, which was tasty and not something I saw on a lot of other restaurant menus while in Rome. Maybe we just caught Mimi e Coco on a bad day, but I wasn't super impressed overall. read more

I'll give 4 stars for service, but the meal itself was disappointing. I ordered the carbonara and when it arrived, it appeared as if it had been sitting under a heat lamp for awhile. My husband ordered lasagna and I found it to be very bland, and just "meh". I wish I understood the hype this place receives online. read more

First Impressions: arrived at 7:30pm after some apertivos (but starving as we landed late afternoon and missed lunch hours) and was surprised to find a queue of people waiting to be seated, as dinner is usually served late (typically 9pm-11pm) in Italy. Loved the ambiance and outdoor seating, but as the heat and humidity hadn't dissipated even at 7:30pm with the sun having gone down, we opted for indoor seating. We were seated in the lower floors, which had AC (main dining floors has fan/AC but it was open to the street so was a bit warmer mixing with outdoor air). I usually like outdoor seating in Europe, but as we were still jet lagged and hungry, being seated in the lower (cellar?) floors we were able to enjoy our food within a pleasant air conditioned room with other diners and not compete with outside street noises. The Noms: seriously, delicious. Was hard to top out first meal in Rome... it was so good. I had the carbonara, which they are known for: creamy and rich and the guanciale was so crisp and succulent and lent a fatty richness to the meal. Think bacon but leveled up to 10000x. The portion was perfect and even though I was full, I wished for a second stomach so I could relive that meal. My husband had the lasagne (which they are also known for)... I've never been a big lasagna person, but HELLO this is the best lasagna I've ever had. Ever! It was so creamy and melt in your mouth, the sauce is robust and flavorful, but the pasta remained Al dente... like, HOW? Usually lasagna pasta is a mushy and over cooked in the baking process but holy eff this was AMAZING. I think I ate a full third of my husband's meal. We also had a focaccia bread with mozzarella and mortadella to add to the meal and it was good. Bread was thin and crispy yet chewy. I enjoyed it. In Conclusion: Yes, yes, YES! Go here! So delicious! Keep in mind there's also a location in Rome's city center but I loved the ambiance of Trastevere. Wish I could have gone back for another meal! read more

Probably one of our favorite meals of a week and a half in Rome the pasta was amazing. The carbonara was probably one of the best I ever had try the lasagna and of course they had different types of spritz amazing on a hot day or a good way to end a trip they had the best of everything for your last meal. read more

Food is average! It's deafening inside the restaurant. It's definitely more of a tourist trap. We had a half hour wait and there seemed to be only a handful of servers taking care of everyone. After getting seated, they seemed to forget we were even there. We had to flag down a waiter to get our order. Definite don't recommend coming here read more

Very good pasta!!! Better than any pasta in the us but not the best in Italy. I would definitely go here again the service is relaxed. read more

Terrible service. Such rude customer service and absolutely no regard for customer care. Restaurant is extremely hot and every worker was extremely condescending/crude upon entry. I refuse to recommend this restaurant to anyone. Extremely disrespectful service and I'm absolutely disgusted at the lack of respect. read more

This place was great! I came here on a Monday night, around 9pm. And the entire area was hopping. We waited about 20 minutes for a table, but it was worth it. For an appetizer was had the mozzarella and meat for the table. The cheese was so fresh and yummy. My wife and daughter (16) both had the Lasagne. They remarked it was different than the lasagne they have had in the states as it was layered differently. They also both said the taste was so yummy! My other daughter 12) had the meatballs and they were to die for. The meatballs came with potatoes, which seemed odd but was a perfect compliment. As for me, I have the Spaghetti with bacon and red sauce. It was gone in five minutes as it was delish. Too stuffed for desert, but they gave us two free shots of lemoncillo. To add to the awesome food, our server was top notch. Attentive and informative. Go. Here. Now read more

Wonderful pasta and service! This was our favorite meal on our 16-day trip. The drinks/wine were excellent and we enjoyed our limoncello!

This was my first restaurant experience straight off the plane in Rome & it was lovely. Found this place based off a blog and it was such a great spot. The servers were so kind and welcoming to me and my sister & the ambience was so beautiful. Great spot to walk around, people watch, get a drink, and enjoy Trastevere! Laura was SO kind and she brought us limoncello and biscotti to enjoy since we had told her this was our first time ever in Rome. This place is a gem and will be dreaming of returning here forever. read more

Unfortunately, the food was not great, which was surprising based on such positive reviews. The staff however are wonderful, kind, and accommodating. The ambience is great as well. I so wish the food matched. read more

This place was recommended by our AirBnB host. When we got there at 7pm, almost everyone were having aperitivo. We opted to have the Caprese salad followed by Ravioli and Cacio e Pepe. Nicol and Eva were so attentive at taking care of us. This was service at its best! We really appreciated the limoncello shots after dinner. The Caprese salad was fresh and a great prelude to our meals. I have been craving for Cacio e Pepe and this didn't disappoint! There were lines of patrons waiting to sit down. This location at Trastevere was really quaint and romantic! read more

It was just 2 blocks down our street from our BnB and we'd seen lines form on nights before so we headed there at opening. Spaghetti carbonara- very good but salty and saucy. Really friendly staff- we thought the food was overall good but lines form every night to get in. Going to say if the line is long maybe move down the street a bit and check out another restaurant. read more

Easily the best meal my partner and I may have ever had or will ever have in our life. Incredible staff. We felt like we were in someone's home. Lovely, warm ambience with amazing music. And out of this world flavors. read more

We went out to Travestere looking for a place to eat previously having visited Roma Sparita a few nights ago. We stumbled upon Mimi e Coco Trast, the restaurant had a laid back vibe accommodating a party of 5 with a double stroller. The walls lined in a Dark Forest Green wallpaper embossed with french filigree and a beautiful chandelier over the bar. We haven't even gotten to the food yet and I've already convinced myself to come back. We ordered the typical spritzer before chowing down but they weren't the "typical", there were several varieties of custom and refreshing spritzers which we tried about half and everyone had a happy face on with no complaints. I then followed up with a Negroni which was also perfectly made. Okay no about the food we had the Chicken Spiedoni which ruined potatoes and chicken for me. Now I can never look the same at them back home again. The Tonarelli all's Gricia was made perfectly as well, same pasta that's used with Cacio e Pepe dishes and some of the ingredients that you need for a Carbonara. It was fantastic! My wife had the Carbonara which was her favorite so far in Italy, she says she loved it so I'll take her word for it. She's a tough critic! The dolce was all excellent we had the Tirmasu, the Chocolate Salami, and the Mimi e Coco House Specialty Coffee which is an espresso with chocolate at the base topped with whip cream in a collada cup. The only downside was that there was no changing pad so be prepared if you come with kids and plan to stay through a four course meal. Overall 5/5 read more

If you're looking for the spot, then look no further. Great indoor and outdoor vibe in the heart of trastevere. Pasta with basil and tomatoe sauce is a hit and so was chicken skewers with potatoes. read more

Great little find in Travestere with great appetizers and drinks. We had the limoncello cocktail, and the cheese and meat platter to nibble on - it was excellent selection of local flavors. Highly recommend for the people watching too, at. Busy little junction in this older part of town read more

There is no shortage of fantastic food in Rome, but this was probably my favorite. The restaurant was only 1 block from our Airbnb and we saw it when we got lost heading there lol. It looked so cute and romantic, and the menu sounded great. We headed back later that night with friends, and were immediately greeted with smiles and seated. There were so many menu items that sounded incredible, so we ordered a few things as appetizers. One was like a mix between a salad and a charcuterie board, but all the meats, cheeses and tomatoes on it were delicious. The other was what we dubbed "Roman chili cheese fries" because it was a mix of meat, cheese, potatoes and sauce. It was divine. Next, we ordered entrees and I chose the carbonara since I hadn't had any yet. I wasn't sure if I would love it because I typically like something with a tomato-based sauce, but I Loved it. Everyone felt similarly about their dishes and there were lots of oohs and ahs throughout the meal. We also had lots of yummy wine. To top it off, the service was amazing! Our waitress and bartender were so friendly, and we really appreciated the shots of Limoncello with the check. Great restaurant - a must visit spot. read more

Busy spot on a weekend and service was fast nonetheless fast. I got the asparagus risotto which was very good-very cheesy and the risotto was cooked just right, creamy with a bit of bite. I also got a glass of prosecco for 5 euro. Overall, decent food. Service was decent but not fantastic, but could be typical of service here in Italy. read more

Supremely next level dining experience. The eggplant was outstanding. Best Tiramasu of our Italy trip.

Best meal we had in Rome. Carbonara was PHENOMENAL!!! We also tried the capers, lasagna, and pesto flatbread and all were fresh and delicious. Our only grip was that the Cacio el Pepe, while having great flavor, came out a little lukewarm. Though, it not enough to withhold 5/5 stars. read more

Fabulous food and service. Go early. Small intimate space fills quickly. We had an incredible meal. House red is a must. Focaccia is best I've ever had. We had GF carbonara and lasagna. Couldn't finish . read more

Don't fall for the glowing reviews. We just left dinner here, and it was the worst meal we've ever had in Rome. There were hairs in my partner's chicken and the lasagna tasted like something we could've made at honey. Avoid at all costs. read more

Good pasta amatriciana and cold peroni. The service was good as well. If you sit outside you'll enjoy the trast ambiance.

This place fucking sucks omg they can't do a basic margherita pizza took around 20 minutes for them to even come up to us to ask if we wanted water the food fucking sucked service was awful they said no to almost everything and were rude also couldn't remember shit we said always coming back to ask for our order this place is not good also a bird shit on me but this place sucks service fucking sucks food is soggy and shit and undercooked and seasoned 1.6/10 and it's way to small not enough seats only one bathroom everyone was packed together it was just absolutely disgusting read more

Trastevere is already such a 'local, discover it on your own adventure' feel that my friend and I literally had no plan for dinner, in July, at the height of busy restaurants and tourist season. Luckily, I'm wandering around the ever charming Trastevere, we stumbled upon Mimi e Coco. There was a line to sit outside on the terrace, of course, as there was everywhere else in Rome on this deliciously warm evening. But the difference is, while we stood in line to wait for a terrace spot, our hostess delivered complimentary tastings of wine. The line wasn't actually that long (and, when you're in good company, in Rome, on a sunny summers eve, with complimentary wine... how long does that even feel?) We we're seated within 15 minutes. Someone get ahold of American restaurants, because I can easily wait that long with zero ambiance or free booze. My friend ordered Mama's meatballs and I'm sad I didn't get the same because they were to die for. Myself, I had a delightful plate of smoked salmon. The meal was delicious, but you can't beat their hospitality. read more

The best dinner find on our trip to Rome! This is a new restaurant opening and was so good! Marylú and Manish were our server and bartender who took great care of us. The music was great, the atmosphere was great and the food was wonderful! We were a group of four who all work in the food industry and thought this was the best place in our four days in Rome. We are sad that he discovered this place on our last night in Rome but look forward to coming back and returning on our next trip! read more
