    I had low expectations for this place but my husband and I went here for Valentine's Day and we had such an amazing time here. We can't wait to come back and eat here again. We ordered their Valentine's Day Menu and everything on that menu was delicious. The place was very unique and our serve was really helpful and nice. Overall, I recommend this place.

    Really hidden and assuming Italian spot in the Eastend area (north of UH). It's on Telephone and Lockwood but hidden in the back. The interior is inside an older one story building and has a bar and dimly lit dining. The menu comprises of apps, pastas, and some main dishes in addition to pizza. Their starters are tasty and come in fairly small portions. I got their gnocchi as a main and it was very tender with a nicely prepared red sauce; the portion was a bit small for my liking but the taste was there. Their pizza was also done nicely; it's a traditional Neapolitan style with red sauce, mozzarella, basil and a thin crust. Enjoyed the food overall and definitely a good culinary pick for this area of town.

    Had a fabulous experience here! Easily got seated for 2 on a Thursday night without a reservation, I did call in first! Phillip was our server and did a phenomenal job guiding us through the menu. The ambiance is v nice, not something you were expecting, very unassuming. Pasta was top tier, and we got a few different things, I would love to come back and order more

    Great food the sourdough was really crispy outside and chewy inside, the tiramisu had a good flavor and texture was not dry at all, the pizza was good the one thing i will say though is that it was very soggy in the middle we have to use our fork and knife to eat it but it was still good. the drinks were good they were pretty strong. our server was very welcoming and the ambiance was so nice and chill would come back to try more menu items !

    This establishment is hidden and is not a spot you'll just stumble on if you're not familiar with the area and what is around. There is plenty of parking right outside in a private lot, no need to worry with valet or street parking here. The outside is not much to write home about, but when you step inside, it's quaint and cozy. It has a low key, simple and minimal rustic Italian feel. Service - 4.5* We didn't have hardly any time with the menu before we were being asked if we knew what we wanted. That said, the waitress was very helpful and knew alot about most of the dishes. She recommended several from each section of the menu dependent on what you were looking for and size of plate. It did take a bit longer than normal to get our dishes but they had two giant parties in the main dining area so that may have contributed to it. Food and Drink - 4* The wine menu is extensive and I'm certain anyone would find something. There's some basic beers for those who maybe aren't wanting wine. On the appetizer side, the Finocchiona pizza was excellent - crispy, fennel forward, ricotta comes through. On the entree side pappardelle with lamb was good. The lamb is certainly the highlight of the dish. The gnocchi was great and pasta wise, was the preferred of the two. Cost - 4.5* Subjectively, the pricing is reasonable for the dish sizes. I'll leave it at that. Overall - 4.25* There were plenty of dishes I saw that I'd come back to try and next time I'll bring some friends along so we can try more. Now, my controversial take is I would say this is not the best Italian I've had in town, but the location, the pricing, the vibe are all pluses and reason enough to pay another visit!

    Food-100/5!! The food was so freaking delicious! Honestly I would eat here everyday day if I could! I love the various flavors that one dish can have! We got 2 app, each a pasta dish,& 2 desserts. The pictures don't justify how savory everything was! Service-5/5- our waiter was super attentive and helped us pick the right wine for girls night! He let us sample a small amount of 2 different wines to make sure we would like what we were getting. We bought the bottle because it was that good! Ambiance-5/5- this place is a hidden gem to be honest. The inside has the old Italian look very beautiful to look around. The music is just the right volume so you can have a nice dinner.

    Italian cuisine for dinner in Houston, Texas... This was my niece's last dinner as a college student. Tomorrow, she'll be a college graduate! Time sure flies by! We called ahead for reservations, but we got sent to voicemail. However, when we arrived, we were seated right away, even though almost every table was taken. Mimo is a cozy, dimly lit, noisy, popular place! The free parking lot in front, convenient restroom inside, and professional staff all around are much appreciated! We knew it was a classy place when we were served a complimentary round of Amuse Bouche. It was a toasted round with ricotta and lemon glaze, topped with a candied walnut. Refreshing! Our party of five shared: *Pane - freshly baked sourdough bread - soft interior with crisp outer layer *Pappardelle: heirloom tomatoes and mushrooms with braised, tender lamb *Spaghetti alle Vongole: bottleneck clams in wine broth was a bit spicy for me. *Pansotti: spinach and ricotta dumplings in wild mushroom ragu *Roasted carrot pizza: peppery with great crust This was a fancy meal! We really enjoyed this treat!

    The service (Fernando) was so kind, knowledgeable about the menu, charismatic, and attentive. Overall the food was 3/5 for a $$$ restaurant. The restaurant itself was romantic and small, perfect for a date night.

    Tortelloni and Fettucine
    Chris W.

    It's hard to describe how good Mimo is - each time I go I'm always impressed with the fantastic food, cozy ambiance, and knockout service, all packaged within a gem of a restaurant tucked into an unassuming collective along Telephone Road. The starters are thoughtful and well-balanced - on my latest visit, I enjoyed the prosciutto and pear plate, a wintery homage to the classic pairing of prosciutto and melon, as well as a large dish of buttery, herbaceous steamed mussels (which to be fair, are hard to mess up). The housemade pastas are wonderfully tender and hold up well to all the bold sauces and ragùs (the lamb pappardelle always hits). Truthfully, I never make it to the mains section of the menu before the antipasti, pasta, and wine fill me up, but I promise y'all and myself I will make it there one day :) Capping off the whole experience is warm, efficient service - the team there is accessible and knowledgeable, eager to share their favorites from the menu or to top off a recently emptied glass of wine. I love that the menu sets that the expectation that the meal will be served "at a relaxed pace" - and that's exactly the mindset with which you should visit. Hope to see you there soon!

    Whipped ricotta
    Courtney W.

    Finding delicious Italian food in Houston can be a challenge, but look no further because Mimo has got you covered! Was excited to see this place on the EatDrinkHTX list this year. The portions are slightly smaller for this menu but for $25 the 3 courses was a superb deal. I will certainly come back to try other things. There is plenty of parking. The restaurant says "ristorante" on top and there is a small blue neon sign that says "Mimo." The interior is very cozy, it's quiet and comfortable with nice lighting. Could definitely be a place for a fancy celebratory meal but can also be casual. The service is good! The waiter was very attentive and easy going. The pace is very laid back so you aren't rushed at all. They start off by giving you a little complimentary bite. Ours was little crostini with a whipped ricotta and I think a drizzle of honey and a nut. Lovely bite! We added an order of the fritters, which are fried to perfection, so crispy and savory. The apps we tried for eatdrinkHTX were the whipped ricotta and crochette. The ricotta was delish, I loved the figs and the bits of prosciutto, could eat a whole bowl of this. The crochettes were also yummy and I wish I had 10 of them! Also fried really nicely and not too salty. For second courses, we tried the fettuccine and the Cacio e Pepe. The fettuccine had a red sauce with meat, it was a little spicy! The cacio e pepe also had a little kick. I appreciated that it was just the right amount of salt. All the pasta was cooked al dente with a pleasant chew. I think you cannot go wrong with any of the pasta dishes here. For third courses, tried the zeppole and biscotti. Zeppole were fluffy and not overly sweet. The biscotti was fun, it came with a Marsala wine to pour on top which paired nicely! I have to come back for the pizza- everybody around us was eating pizza so it must be good! Will also have to try other fun things on the menu. Will be back soon!!

    Chocolate Salato (top) + truffles (bottom)
    Carissa C.

    My family and I celebrated my belated birthday dinner here, and had a very nice time. From the outside, it was dark and didn't look like much but once inside it was very cozy. We sat at their family table next to the kitchen and it was a nice semi-private space. My family and I split a variety of dishes including the skillet bread, brussel sprouts, rapini fritti, croquettes, gnocchi, fettuccine, pappardelle, tortelloni, and eggplant milanese. All the dishes came out hot and fresh but the best were the rapini fritti because it was crispy and rich, and the tortelloni with the hint of chili oil and perfectly cooked pasta. For dessert we got their chocolate salato and truffles. Both were so indulgent and I really enjoyed the sweet/salty/crunchy textures of the chocolate salato. The staff was very friendly and knowledgeable of the menu. We'd love to return!

    Sweet potato

    This place was a bit hard to find at night. For some reason the front says ristorante instead of Mimo and is set in the back of a weird G-shaped strip mall. Was not too busy on a Thursday night but clearly have regulars. The staff treated my 1 year old daughter like a little lady. She even got her own amuse bouche. I really liked the sweet potato and rapini although the rapini was a bit oily. The pastas themselves were not my favorite. They weren't bad by no means, they just didn't stand out. Standard solid pasta. Very cute place..I would come here if I lived close by but not if was 25 min away.

    Food: 5 stars! 4 when considering the price! Great food quality and variety of dishes! Everything tasted great and seemed fresh! However the pricing for everything seemed a bit high. Service: 4 stars The restaurant was not busy but our server was not very attentive. Seemed tired to be honest. So maybe they were busy earlier that day. Ambiance: 5 stars Quaint little spot! Clean inside and lively decor with a nice bar area Location: 3 stars This place was extremely hard to find at night! It's nestled behind a strip center with very poor lighting.

We arrived during happy hour (I believe it's from 4-7 PM), which was perfect. The space itself is super cute and cozy. When we first arrived it wasn't too crowded, but it definitely started filling up closer to 6 PM. For happy hour, we ordered several appetizers to share between the three of us: shrimp, Brussels sprouts, and truffle fries -- all were SO good. Later, we ordered two steaks with fries, which were amazing and came with a buttery sauce that really took them to the next level. I also ordered the lemon pepper buffalo wings, and those were absolutely delicious as well. The service was great, especially considering there were only about two or three people working. Everyone was attentive and friendly. If you're a wine lover, you'll enjoy the wine selection. I'm a big Pinot Noir fan, and while there was only one Pinot option, I loved it so much that I kept going back to it. The wine tasting option made it easy to try a few others before deciding. Prices were very reasonable -- not overpriced at all -- especially for the quality of the food and experience. We didn't make reservations and were able to walk right in, though I'd recommend reservations if you're going later in the evening since it does get packed. Roots is located right across from some apartments in the EADO area and made for the perfect girls' night out. Great food, great service, great vibes. I would absolutely recommend this place and will definitely be back!

One of our friends who arrived early got to switch us to a booth since we'd have a few plates to share for the four of us. My friend and I shared the NA red sangria. I liked that there was a NA option for that, and you can choose either red or white. We ordered a pitcher since we were sharing. It was delicious and refreshing. I think I had about 3 wine glasses of it. Our group shared the red fish à la plancha, patatas bravas, spinach frittata, olive oil pancakes and bacon-wrapped dates. Some of the dishes were bigger than others. Tapas is meant to be small plates, and they were, but it's a little overpriced. For example, the red fish was $15.50 for maybe 2 oz of fish. The stack of olive oil pancakes were small and thin for $8.50. If you're sharing, it's not that much food. I was going to order another personal stack of olive oil pancakes because that cinnamon butter was so good! I decided not to after I let all of what we ordered and drank settle for a bit after. The valdeon whipped blue cheese under the bacon-wrapped dates didn't taste very good and seemed grainy to me. It was my least favorite. The standouts for me were the olive oil pancakes, spinach frittata that was actually loaded with more veggies and bell peppers and the patatas bravas which was piled with potatoes topped with mayo that melted down and looked almost like melted cheese on top. It's a fun place for friends to gather or a cute date spot. You may or may not be hungry after depending what you order. There are larger plates/entrees like paella and branzino to share.
