Robert W. I eat here every week (I'm sitting at the bar currently) and have always been impressed with the incredible food and outstanding service. I usually sit at the bar and find all four of the bartenders to be of the highest caliber as both bartenders and people in general. Fun bar and beautiful restaurant. read more

During a visit to 30A, we decided to check out Mimmo's with our family. I'm a big fan of good Italian food, so I was immediately drawn to the menu. The setting was very comfy and warm, and we immediately settled in. Our server was very friendly and helpful. He made a recommendation when I asked for his favorite, and it turned out to be the best Beef short rib I've ever eaten. The restaurant staff was very welcoming to our kids, and every bite we had was delicious. My wife's pizza patate was unique and delicious. My daughter said her Alfredo kids meal was the best Alfredo she'd ever eaten. If ever we're in the area again, we will be back to Mimmo's. P.S. Order the tiramisu! read more

This was easily one of the best Italian restaurants I've been to! From the moment we walked in, the service was outstanding. Our server, Sercan, was absolutely amazing--friendly, attentive, and made the entire experience even better. I ordered the pasta special, and you could immediately tell the pasta was homemade. It was fresh, flavorful, and cooked perfectly. We also shared the Margherita pizza, and it was hands down one of the best I've had. The crust was delicious, and every bite tasted fresh. The complimentary bread was a great way to start the meal, and the garlic knots with butter were incredible--I definitely recommend ordering those! For dessert, we tried the bread pudding and the tiramisu. The bread pudding wasn't quite as good as the ones I've had in Louisiana, but it was still enjoyable. The tiramisu had a strong coffee flavor, which I personally enjoyed, and it was a great way to end the meal. Overall, this restaurant exceeded my expectations. Between the fresh, homemade food, excellent service from Sercan, and welcoming atmosphere, I'll definitely be back. If you're looking for authentic Italian food in Santa Rosa, this place is absolutely worth a visit! read more

This is a very cute restaurant and all their dishes looked amazing. The chicken marsala was SO good and the sauce had so much flavor. It is their house specialty so I recommend getting this. I took a star off for a couple of things. The beers were warm and they said "their coolers sucked," one of our dishes had mussels and they weren't cracked open so they had to give us a new one, and there were SO many flies. My friend broke a wine glass trying to swat a fly. It's not really their fault but it's just annoying when you're trying to eat. I'm still thinking about this dish though read more

Ok, I've been here several times and always forget to take pictures. 5 stars easy!! The location is cute, well decorated and very stylish for the area. It does get crowded but its never been a big detractor , The staff has always been great! Prompt, friendly, responsive. The food is excellent and the bar/cocktails are top notch! I have been here 4x in the past 2 years (i only visit 30A twice a year), and never had a bad experience here! Love Mimmo's. Update: returned again tonight. Finally got a picture before I ate it all!! read more

Food is good and fattening. Service was wonderful as well as the manager who was working very hard on 9/6. Great attitudes, care and commitment. Ambience is nice. Highly recommended! read more

I really like Mimmo's. Not very Gluten friendly but I can find something. The ambiance is so inviting and the decor reminds me of upscale European - probably nicer though. The charcuterie is fabulous as are the salads. I had the risotto this time and it was tasty. I just like mine a little creamier. My husband had chicken ravioli which I did not taste but he ate every bite. The patio was too loud with the coolers on but once they were turned down it was perfect. Get a manager to help with that if server doesn't. We really like the Sicilian wine. It is a strong red with a hint of Sicilian sunshine! For my gluten friendly friends - please eat there! You won't regret it. For my gluten free friends- ask for some help from server. And the steaks are fab too! read more

A lot to like here with room to improve... Our server was a professional, keen on engaging, delighting, showing up before needed, with a subtle but likely effective approach on the upsells. He knows where he works, he knows the people who eat there during 30A's 100 days, and he knows how to operate within that. Now, the food: good and worth another try, but not mouth-watering from the first bite. Everything seemed to need either a bit more seasoning *or* it needed to let the food shine through. The calamari is freshly prepared, but the tempura misses a flavor and the dish seemed flat. The gnocchi Genova (pistachio forward with a nice piece of burrata and tomatoes) was tasty, though the cheese came cold and altered the dynamic of the tastes. Lastly, the grouper special (a light fish to start with) was doused unnecessarily with a light cream with lobster sauce. They didn't skimp on the shellfish, to their credit, but it was unclear what the sauce added as the taste of the fish was overcome by all around it. One last thing: their food runner needs some training. No 'coming in hot' (as she did) and provided no guidance to tables (ours or the ones around us) as to adjust what was on the table (existing plates, etc) to accommodate what she was dropping off. It was clear she acted as if she had one job (drop food) and didn't care too much the experience of the customer let alone what it was going to take to get that food placed properly for guests. Definitely the sign of missed training in the establishment. read more

We were staying in the neighborhood and saw Mimmo's stellar reviews so knew we had to try. Amazing in every aspect. Service was outstanding and prompt and the food came out so quick, not like other higher echelon places. We got the garlic butter rolls appetizer which were really good and they also bring out bread & oil that was delicious. My son got the kids pepperoni pizza which was huge so I tried a slice and loved it. Thin crust and perfect char, tasted like it was wood fired. I got the linguini shrimp diovola and must say it's been my favorite dish of the year. The sauce incredible and sautéed shrimp worked perfectly. My wife raved about the lasagna which was massive and required a to-go box. Can't say enough good things about this spot. read more

After a day at the beach my group stopped by Mimmo's to order pizza to enjoy at the house. While waiting my friend and I sat at the bar and had great conversation with the staff. The pizza was ready so fast we couldn't even finish our cocktails. Lol Our group loved the pizza so much I couldn't even get a picture. It's cooked in a brick oven, giving the crispy crust on the bottom that's delicious. read more

Definitely 5 Star Rating! Food & Quality of Meals Excellent, Service was the absolute BEST in town (ask for Adrienne-he's so knowledgeable & knew the menu from cover to cover, offered great recommendations!) The inside seating looked beautiful, although we had reservations & were seated on the patio at sunset. Family friendly, although more of an adult, mature & upscale setting. Great for a special occasion or date night. Would highly recommend reservations. Save room for dessert. Sangria was absolutely the best I've ever had! Perfect ending to a beautiful day! read more

Tasteless and overpriced. Nice service from Cassie but not enough to save this place. Really bad. A downer. It all looks great and like you're ready to have a killer Italian meal and ball out a bit. But just flavorless. No spice. Nothing exciting. Presentation looks great but not one lick of seasoning. Bland. Don't get the garlic knots, rigatoni alla vodka nor the pesto gnocchi. Too expensive. None have any flavor. Maybe something else tastes good, but I doubt it. read more

Food and Ambiance - 10/10 Service - 6/10 These entrees speak for themselves -- I MEAN! Tried different pastas, stuffed shells, eggplant parm, caesar salad + more. It was all well salted and I would prefer just a tad more black pepper. Overall, I was full after 3-4 bites because it was just so heavy- One plate of pasta can definitely be shared. Service was below average but we were celebrating a wonderful bride to be and that is no damper on our celebrations! read more

A must-try for Italian food! I celebrated my birthday weekend in Destin and had the pleasure of dining at Mimmo's. We started with fresh bread served with olive oil and a classic caprese salad. For my entrée, I ordered the Pappardelle All'Aragosta--pappardelle pasta with lobster that truly feeds your soul and fills your heart (and stomach) with love. It was rich, flavorful, and absolutely satisfying. My husband went with the Pizza Fiorentina (chicken pizza). The sauce was creamy and garlicky, pairing perfectly with the toppings and making every bite delicious. To end the night, we celebrated with a birthday cannoli and bourbon bread pudding--both the perfect sweet finish to a special dinner. The restaurant's vibe was stylish and well-kept, making it an ideal spot for a birthday celebration. A special thank you to our server, Inesa, for the friendly service and great recommendations. We'll definitely be back! read more

This was our first visit, but it definitely won't be our last. The restaurant is beautiful, clean, and has a warm, rustic Italian ambiance that's both inviting and comfortable. The service was excellent, our waitress was friendly, attentive, and made the experience even better. It's clear that the kitchen uses only high-quality, fresh ingredients, and you can taste the difference. Everything we tried was good, but the Pappardelle All' Aragosta was the standout. It's a house-made pappardelle pasta with fresh lobster meat, cherry tomatoes, mushrooms, and a creamy seafood vodka sauce, finished with fresh Parmesan. It was spectacular, and I'll be ordering it again on our next visit without question. This is excellent Italian dining along 30A, and one of the few spots in the area that take reservations, a big plus after a busy day in the sun! read more

One of the only restaurants that actually takes reservations on 30A, which is very convenient if you don't want to wait. For drinks, we ordered the Rossini and Sunshine State of Mind. The Sunshine drink tastes exactly like an orange popsicle. We ordered the Melenzana alla Siciliana, which is cheese and ham stuffed eggplant. This was our favorite; I highly recommend it. For the entrees, we ordered the salmon salad and margarita pizza. The salmon salad comes with a full piece of salmon, so delicious. Our waitress Inesa W was very friendly and attentive, and we were seated as soon as we arrived for our reservation time. We had a great experience here. read more

Holy smokes. Not sure where to begin with this review. As soon as we walked in, I knew we were in for a treat. The vibe was upscale but also relaxed. Nothing too fancy. Our server, Carella, was superb. She was on top of things from the beginning. We wanted for nothing all night. Food was outstanding! From pizza to pasta to salmon, the kitchen nailed it all. We visit 30A often and this place will be in our dinner rotation for future visits. read more

Been going there since they opened on 30A. Service has usually been good even when they are packed. I walked to get a take out pizza last night. Sat at the bar and sipped on a glass of wine waiting on my pizza. A young couple came and sat next to me at the bar. I'm just waiting on a takeout pizza that I have done many times. The couple next to me order several things and I was still waiting after their third course so I ask about my order. Bar tender yells that he is busy. I pay for my glass and leave. I dont know what happened but service doesnt match the location. i read more

Best food during our entire Santa Rosa beach trip hands down. Environment was amazing. Service was kind even though busy. Food is definitely fresh and portions are definitely worth the price! I usually cannot eat much and stick to salads or something simple/clean, but even their wedge salad was unique and super good. We're making this our "date spot" for every year now. Reservation recommended! read more

One of the best meals we've had on 30a!!! We have been coming to 30a for 10+ years and have eaten at plenty of the usual spots. We tried this place a few months ago and when we were back in town decided to come again and get the same dishes because we loved them so much! Last trip we sat at the bar and the bar tender was so kind and knowledgeable on drinks and also the menu! This time around our server was attentive and took great care of us. They do take reservations which I would highly recommend booking ahead of time. read more

TLDR: The assistant manager, Mia, inappropriately commented on my weight. I was a bride on my bachelorette trip. We went here for my birthday last year and had an amazing experience, so I wanted to come here for my bachelorette trip. On Friday night, within 30 minutes of arriving, the assistant manager came up to congratulate me as I wearing white. She asked me where we were from, when I was getting married, where I was getting married, if I had purchased my dress yet, and if my friends had seen my dress. This was a very long interaction and she continued to stand there, so I asked her if she wanted to see my dress. She excitedly said yes, and after I showed her, she said "hopefully you can lose more weight by the wedding" Truly, I was speechless, and turned around and said "okay" My friend let our server know about the inappropriate comment, our disappointment, and asked if the assistant manager could please stay away from our table. Instead, Mia came back to the table and said "I didn't mean that. You're beautiful, but everyone wants to lose weight before their wedding" Again, I was shocked and just said okay. She offered to get me a new drink, on the house. At this point, I was uncomfortable, but just wanted to move on and enjoy dinner. She continued to watch our table and then as she walked by my veil got caught on her shirt and pulled out of my hair. This was an accident, but I wanted to leave because I was uncomfortable. We had not even ordered entrees. We asked the server for our check and Mia came to our table AGAIN. She asked if we were leaving because of her and we explained how uncomfortable we were at this point. The initial comment was rude, the second apology didn't help, and there was too much tension to enjoy the night. My fiancé called the restaurant and spoke to the manager, but he never came to our table. Other than the one free drink, we were offered no apologies from management. We left and my friend decided to go back to ask if we could have our money back or some sort of fix for ruining the night. There, she explained how strange and inappropriate the interaction was and how Mia continued to come back to the table despite us asking her to please leave us alone. The manager apologized, but said "Well, Mia said that the bride (me) wanted to show her the dress." She wouldn't leave the table. Why does that warrant her to comment on my weight? The owner texted my friend the next day and we were given a $150 gift card and no refund. While I am appreciative of the gift card, Friday night was ruined for us. With 9 women, it's impossible go somewhere else on a Friday night. I felt embarrassed and uncomfortable. If you are a bride, steer clear. read more

Had an elegant, fun, and tasty first Mimmo's experience. As soon as you walk in, you understand Mimmo's mission. The decor, food, and staff all align well (around said mission). As we walked to our table (be sure to make a reservation on the weekend), every plate looked delicious. We ordered a rose bottle and also tried the red. Both great choices. Food was all fresh and presented well. Dishes included the caprese, garlic knots, ravioli, and lasagna. Sauce (gravy) was fresh and just sweet enough. Staff/servers worked well together and wait times were short. We look forward to our next Mimmo's run and exploring their menu further. read more

Service was good, food came out very quickly. Portion size was spot on.We ordered appetizers, main course, and dessert. Had a group of 6 and we left the restaurant in an hour. Got the Manicotti with vodka sauce and sausage. Flavor was good. The food was disappointingly lukewarm-cold by the time I got it, which is surprising considering how quickly it came out to us... I wish they'd heat up the plates or keep the dishes warmer. Presentation could also be a bit neater for such a nice restaurant! Other than that, it was average/good food. For what it is, it wasn't completely worth the price. Ambiance was nice. Servers were attentive and helpful. read more

Mimmo's 30A - Manicotti in Bolognese Sauce - Italian Near Me - Santa Rosa Beach, Florida

We tried this restaurant over the weekend. This place is quite busy so definitely make reservations in advance. Service was definitely slow. Our drinks came after the food, which is not good. I'm generous with still giving them 4 stars because of the food but they need to do a better job with their service. Ambiance inside is nice. Our server also messed up a couple of times. I asked my pasta to be substituted with broccolini and that didn't happen. So I had to order broccolini again and wait for it on the side. Then we ordered Tito's straight but they ended up adding some watermelon syrup to it, so we couldn't drink that because of all that sugar. Both of these mistakes could have been avoided for a better dinner experience. Food was good and see photos below. Overall I might return here but not during the busy times. read more
