My party of 6 sat outside on the patio tonight. Not only was the ambience breathtaking, but the food and service were also top notch. You could tell that the pasta was homemade and fresh, as well as the sauces to complement it. Portions here are definitely on the large size so I was happy to take leftovers home with me. Of course, left some room for dessert which also was homemade. I was told the owner makes the tiramisu herself and that it was award-winning... well she has my vote too! The best tiramisu I've ever had. I loved that the family who owns the restaurant can be seen not only working hard but also welcoming almost each and every table into their beautiful outdoor oasis of a restaurant. 5 stars, I wish I could give more honestly. My family and I will be back! I saw they do half priced espresso martinis every Tuesday, might be our next visit! Thank you Mimmo and Lucy for a wonderful evening! read more

Our service was amazing, I was with a work group who have eaten here before. I ordered the steak which seemed like a cheaper cut of meat. I also had the soup with all the salad issues. The soup was good. I didn't take any pictures of food since dining with work colleagues. The restaurant was nice except for the table was very sticky all over. Ample parking spaces read more

Ordered Penne Ala Vodka and asked to add shrimp to the dish. Waitress said yes that could be done. I asked if they could be grilled and she said yes. Took a while to get our food, and the shrimp were mixed and they had been boiled. They were tough. Significant other had chicken parm, which was good, but he added a side of grilled shrimp to his entree and his came out grilled. Told waitress and all she said was that she would let the kitchen know I wasn't pleased. No offer to fix it or deduct it from our bill. If I hadn't specifically asked, I'd let it go, BUT I did specifically ask. Displeased with food and service. Chicken parm was good however. Not sure I'll patronize again when there are other choices around. read more

The outside patio is beautiful! It felt as if we were sitting in a park with a gorgeous waterfall! So relaxing! The meatball subs were delicious, the wedding soup is a hug in a bowl! Our server could not have been nicer! 'Will definitely return! read more

I was so disappointed with the food. I had the homemade Alfredo came in a bowl as you could see it was put in the oven to sit -top was dry and no taste was like eating a bowl with noodles and milk. The Cesar salad was very salty- My husband had the burger was good - very dark in a booth the table kept rocking. Felt like I was in a dinner with no windows.Our server was good. Won't be returning first was enough. read more

Came craving clam pasta in white wine sauce, left obsessed with their gourmet crab/lobster bisque. I would go back just to order a big bowl of it next time, so rich and flavorful! read more

We just had a retirement celebration at Mimmos for our pastor and our experience was absolutely incredible. The event was for about 75 people and their back room with the fireplace was perfect! The food, atmosphere and service was the best we have ever experienced at a restaurant event space. Mike was so helpful and easy to work with from beginning to end. Kim (our lead server) was also incredible. They were flexible, accommodating and had smiles on their faces the entire time...even when we went over our allotted time. I can't recommend them highly enough. read more

Very good food and service, was very peaceful and quiet. Perfect spot for dinner, lunch, or just eating in general.

This past Sunday, I hosted a luncheon at Mimmo's to celebrate my wife's special birthday. Mike Mimmo, banquet manager, helped me plan the event and was accommodating and very easy to work with, despite some changes in plans. The event went off without a hitch and everything was perfect! The food was delicious and was more than enough, as many guests took food home. Service was impeccable and accommodating as well. All in all everyone was happy, especially the birthday girl. Thanks to Mimmo's for an awesome event! read more

Strong 4.5/5.0 for Mimmo's. So yeah, let me just start with the cons so by the time anyone from Mimmo's reads this, they should be ready to put their pitchforks down by the end of this. Because we are going to end on a positive note, trust me. Biggest issue for sure was the dry chicken in their dinner entrees. I think I got like four our five entrees, and the chicken has been so dry! Not sure what's happening there. Like, if they are just overcooking it to begin with, or if they are cooking it just right, but leaving it to dry out under the heat lamps. Either way, it seems to be a timing issue. Also, ordered Balsamic Chicken, and it wasn't served over a pasta like most normal dishes. Instead, it came with a side of ziti and a pathetically small amount of marinara sauce on top. Between the Balsamic sauce and the marinara.. the flavors definitely clashed. Why not just make a bit more sauce and serve the Balsamic chicken over pasta and nix the marinara? That'd make way more sense I think. Everything else hit the spot. Most (but not all) entrees can be served with the pasta of your choice. I normally go with angel hair. And the Chicken Piccata/Caprese Chicken over angel hair were fantastic. Everything just seemed to come together. True Italian harmony. And lest we forget to mention the Antipasto Salad. This is how it's done, folks. Generous portions of Italian meats, mozzarella cheese, black and green olives, sweet peppers, OH YES! Without a doubt one of the best Antipasto salads in all the land. Mimmo's is always going to be a staple. The owners put their hearts and souls into the restaurant. Where other owners would pocket the cash and buy a yacht, the Lucy and Mimmo Brutto put all that money back into making sure the restaurant not only serves the best food in town but also has the best landscaping and cleanly interior. It really is a beautiful property. Come in and enjoy; you won't find much better. read more

Had a reservation for 7:15, we arrived at 7:05, and we were seated immediately. Arlene, our server, has to be the best server I have ever had! She was very kind and friendly. She took our orders, and food arrived promptly. The antipasto classico and chicken tuscano were excellent. Portions were large... took home more than half my meal. Great atmosphere with quiet music playing. Every server that walked by picked up used dishes from the table. I definitely recommend Mimmo's and we will be back! read more

Was seated quickly and my order was taken quickly but the food was slow to make it out of the kitchen. When it arrived it was tasty. Will try again when perhaps the kitchen won't be as bogged down. read more

Had a reservation- seated immediately in the beautiful patio next to a spectacular koi pond with waterfall! What a beautiful setting. Our waitress was attentive and very professional. We had great cocktails- mango mojito was a refreshing delight. Good rolls and salads. The eggplant parmigiana with homemade pasta was delicious. The seafood cannoli was amazing and the gelato for dessert made me feel like I was back in Italy. But the most unbelievable thing was the price! $75 for all of that!! We will be back for sure! read more

We celebrated my husband's 60th birthday with a party in the smaller banquet room at Mimmo's last night, and could not have been more pleased. Mike helped us to plan it, and was great with communication and suggestions. He ensured that all went smoothly. The service was very accommodating and attentive and friendly. All of our guests raved about the delicious food from the appetizers to the mains (especially the meatballs) to desserts and drinks. I really enjoyed the bruschetta and Mimmo's rum punch. The room was beautiful and just the right size for our party of about 35. Everyone had a wonderful time. read more

We've tried Mimi's a few times and the food was ok, service was very slow each time. The atmosphere is great but.

I booked Mimmo's for a Rehearsal Dinner for my sons' wedding, based on their event pricing and menu options for such an event. I'd never eaten there, but all of the reviews were favorable so I took a chance. I was not disappointed! Mike was easy to deal with in handling all of the details up to the event, and the receptionist was also very helpful every time I called to made a change or had a question. The day we arrived, our private room was set-up very nicely, as requested with white tablecloths and red napkins, and our servers were ready and happy to accommodate our every request. We chose a limited menu for our guests that included a salad, soft drink, and entree. The salad was very nice - a spring mix with cucumbers, cherry tomatoes, shredded cheese, red onions, and the perfect amount of italian-style dressing. Then arriving in a timely manner, our entrees were impressive in display and size, and were delicious. We also opted for the dessert buffet which consisted of mini-cakes and pastries, and cannoli's - everything was delicious! I would absolutely recommend Mimmo's, and will be returning there for dinner in the near future for another great meal. :) read more

Greeted warmly by Zoe our waitress. We Had bacon scallops for an appetizer and I ordered lasagna for and entree. (My aunt recommended this place because she knows they make pasta by hand... fresh.) It was so delicious that if the had a ukelele... I would have strummed a love song to my lasagna. It was amazing. Zoe recommend the limoncello cake and that was heavenly! Hey, she gave me two spoons so I shared it !my famil enjoyed their food wholeheartedly. What yummy food and a beautiful outdoor seating area !! We ate inside with the GLORIOUS AIRCONDITIONING. It was a nice time here. read more

Visited on Father's Day. We sat outside. Ambiance was 10/10. Gorgeous patio with lovely landscaping. They seemed well staffed between servers and food runners. Service was very slow. My food was d. The ceviche was tasty. The caprese salad was a bit underwhelming as the tomatoes weren't ripe enough and were cut very thick. I would come back and have pasta instead. read more

While visiting recently, our group went to this for a treat. All of us being of Italian heritage, we were reluctant to try the Wedding Soup as we're generally disappointed. However, we found it good, though not as good as my wife makes. My wife had the eggplant parmesan and pronounced it very good. I had the Shrimp Scampi stuffed with crab meat, over homemade pasta. A bit overdone, but a good taste. The service was very good and appropriate Covid counter-measures appear to be taken. read more

The night started out good, arrived at 7pm for reservation total of 9 peopel now granted it is Mothers day , service was good for drink orders, but after that the it went down hill fast. Apps were placed and came out and entrees were order around 725pm, fast forward to 840 pm and still no entrees, plus our table had two children at the table and there food was not brought out yet as well, which was two order for spaghetti and meatballs, during this time the server was not visiting the table that much, our table was out side and the other tables that were sitting had come sat down and ate and paid before our food came. At this point we notified our server that it has been over an hour since our food order was placed and that now we would like it to take it Togo. The restaurant was beginning to close up. After this we received dirty looks and eye rolls from another server staff that was working in the area and alerted our server about it NO MANAGER has yet to come to table to address the table, The server tried to bring out the food but we said no we want it to go. fast forward another tens mins and server bringing out boxed up food. Again NO MANAGER has visited the table, we were offered desserts which we refused. Upon paying and leaving, we were proceeding to the parking lot when one of the staff in a green shirt proceeded to make an obscene gesture at us through the window in the front, we then turned around and went back to speak to the Manager, which when asked for the manager the girl at the front desk was like "well you got her" we then proceeded to describe what happened and the manager said " well we don't have that person on staff here" which we said they are right over there in the window. When another staff then came up and tried to apologize, We said it was not called for and don't understand why the staff member felt the need to do that. Again the Manager offered desserts and said "well its the holiday and we are busy " I personally then explained that I am in the industry as well and understand the holidays but giving the fact that no manager came to the table to do a table visit, the server didn't explain why the food was taking a while, and the staff was cleaning and standing around. It was overall a very bad experience and poor response to guest issue. In the end we will not be returning to the restaurant and we not be recommending it to any friends, families, and coworkers to visit. 05/11/2025 was the date of the visit read more

Wouldn't know how it was because they refused to seat us. Walked in right around 9:00 looking to get a quick app and a drink. Waited in lobby for 5 minutes until a waitess came out. She asked us if we wanted to be seated and we said yes. She left to get a hostess. Three minutes later a hostess came out. She looked at her watch, went behind her podium and then said "are you looking to be seated?" When we said yes she said they stopped seating at 9 in a rude tone. I told her that if someone had been in the lobby we would have been there in time. She said "sorry" in a not sorry voice. Oh well, tons of Italian places to choose instead. read more

We used Mimmo's for catering of a large event. The food was excellent and the communication leading up to the event was easy and smooth (thanks, Mike!). All of our guests commented how much they enjoyed the food. We would definitely use Mimmo's for catering again in the future. read more

Had dinner there this evening. Started off bad upon arrival. No record of our reservation which had been made a week in advance. Had requested a certain table. Was told that would be table 12. When we arrived, that table was already occupied. They then wanted to seat us by the wall. We asked for a table in a nicer location where the atmosphere was a little prettier. The landscaping is lovely. They researched the problem and discovered the person who took the reservation put down the incorrect date. The Owner came to speak with us to let us know they found the error. Offered to reseat us when the other party was done. We stated we were settled in where we were by that point. Lucy apologized but never made any offer of restitution ie:, coffee, dessert at no charge. When food arrived, Calamari in the Triple Seafood Appetizer was not very palatable. Mini Crab Cakes & Shrimp were good. My Burger was lukewarm. They took it back & gave me another. My husband's Eggplant Parm was also lukewarm, but he tolerated it. Our friends food was acceptable. In agreement with other reviews, the rolls were terrible. Quite frankly, hamburger buns are not as dry. Waitress was a little edgy personality wise but was attentive. Very disappointing to say the least. When they knew the error of the missing reservation was made on their part, you would think, in the manner of good Customer Service, they may have offered desert or even, at the very least, coffee on them. But NOTHING. Sad to say, we will not be going back. read more

I'm not sure what these people with negative experiences are talking about. Everyone, including businesses, have off days but I've eaten here numerous times and I have been in love with this place since day one. Granted I've never eaten inside however my numerous outdoor dining experiences have shown me nothing but a wonderful atmosphere, great service and incredible food! What more could you ask for? read more

I have been here multiple times and have gotten take out multiple times. We LOVE their food. Service has always been good. We like the front middle section of the restaurant as it seems more intimate. Bolognese, chicken parm, and chicken piccata is a favorite! The serving sizes are HUGE! The only thing that I am not so happy with are their rolls. I know they make them fresh, they just aren't to my taste. But seriously everything else is delicious! read more

Had a great first time experience at Mimmo's- food was delicious and the server, Arlene, was wonderful! We had asked if there was a quiet part of the restaurant when we made the reservation. When we arrived we were seated in the side area in a booth so the atmosphere was perfect for us. My only complaint is that their garlic bread is made with hamburger buns - so out of step with their great Italian food! read more

Had a pleasant Mother's Day dinner at Mimmo's but the service was slow, about 3 hours and over 2 hours to be served dinner with reservations. I love the wedding soup, but everyone in our group had cold soup which was disappointing. We had appetizers which were slow to be served but were fine. Unfortunately our entrees were even slower to be served and were cold as well. We gave up and left without dessert. This was a disappointing experience. It is not what we expect or the service and food quality we come to expect from Mimmo's. A cautionary tale. Probably best to avoid Mimmo's during busy periods for now. Hopefully they will figure it out. read more

I've gone here numerous times over the years. I love the seafood, but the service has been subpar recently. At first, I chalked it to lack of resources, i.e., employees, but that doesn't mean you sit your customers in the back, forget about them, then serve them bland $22 crab ravioli. Edit: Crab Ravoli since the management decided to harrass me in my inbox about my typo on "alfreado" verses "ravioli. But, since we're updating I can also discuss the over cooked pasta in my daughters SHRIMP ALFREDO. This is the Mimmo's on 290 Morgantown Rd, Reading, PA 19611. Instead of taking responsibility for lack of staffing--which I understand you try to place the blame on the customer. Also, I tried to give this place ANOTHER chance on 11/2/2021, ordering to-go via Yelp! My Margherita pizza was cold; the bruschetta was nasty, but the red velvet cake was fantastic! That's all. read more

Absolutely beautiful outdoor dinning at its best!!! Delicious Italian food served in huge portions! This is just a picture of our appetizer. Was enjoying our food I forgot to take more pictures.

I was at Mimmo's recently, for the first time. I had a spinach, strawberry, walnut, apple salad. The apple was soft, mealy and obviously old. Some of the strawberries were old and or turning dark on the edge. They didn't even have a proper salad dressing to go with a spinach strawberry salad. Usually a restaurant will serve a strawberry or balsamic vinaigrette dressing for a spinach strawberry salad. I tried their house vinaigrette and also a side of blue cheese dressing, and neither dressing had much taste. What a shame. Maybe they make better entrees but I would not go there if you're in the mood for a lunch salad. read more

Overpriced and very mediocre pizza. The crust is like cardboard. I liked their lasagna on a previous visit. And love their outdoor patio. Will wait for warmer weather, and will never order pizza here again. On our first visit, my husband ordered pizza and wasn't crazy about it either. read more

Ok, granted it's my first time at Mimmo's and I pretty much chanced on it. That said and as a typical sometimes staunch New Yorker, I can be a bit picky and yes, judgemental of my eateries (details on request). It was a Sunday around 4ish so it was pretty much me and an empty bar. And even though the place itself was quite grandiose, I was skeptical. The ambiance was something out of a Roman brochure. Quite spectacular. That all said, the bartender/server Hailey was absolutely awesome. The menu is pretty large and eclectic. I asked her for a recommendation and she promptly suggested crab ravioli. I think it's been decades since I've used the term "off the hook" but this place was exactly that. The dinner was exquisite. I swear if other patrons hadn't come in, I might be licking the plate. I thank the powers that be for guiding me there. You can bet I will be a regular visitor at this fine establishment. read more
