Great experience for my daughter's rehearsal dinner! We had about 30 people and the service was friendly and the food was delicious. The restaurant was quaint and Mimo and Antonella were very helpful. If you want a cozy vibe and yummy Italian food, Mimo's is a great place for events.

How lucky we are to have a true Italian restaurant with amazing food you can only get in Italy. We come here weekly. There's nothing that is not delicious. The only problem is you are forever disappointed at all other Italian places and believe me we've tried them all. Mimo and his wife run the kitchen and do not disappoint!!! And if you're lucky enough to be there on a night when the homemade lemon cake is there get 2!!!

Let me start by saying the food is decent and the service okay, however, the portions were ridiculously small. I ordered the chicken pictatta and it was a thin piece of chicken and about 4 forks of pasta. I shared with my 9 year old daughter which incurred a $10 charge, my initial plate looked like a "split" plate. We could have ordered her a whole plate for the charge, which I would understand if the portions made sense. If you were planning on fulfilling meal, go somewhere else. I wish I had pictures of each of our meals- not one was a full plate. So disappointed with our local spot tonight. Not worth the money. Stick to Amore where the service, quality, and portions are top tier.

Pepperoni Green Peppers and Extra Cheese

Mom and Pop ran Italian Restaurant and Pizzeria. New York style pizza freshly made. Great service and freshly made Italian dishes. Nice ambiance with white tablecloths. Beer and wine only. Highly recommend. Take out orders are also available with delivery too.

Greatest New York Style pizza in Kentuckiana area. I'm from Columbus, Ohio and have lived in the Louisville area since 2016. I have been looking for a good pizzeria for years and pretty much gave up until I found Mimo's. The pizza dough is crisp, the cheese is cooked just right, very little flop, and it isn't very greasy. Try it out!

Pizza with sausage and ricotta

I went to this restaurant years ago and got the pasta. I don't really remember if I liked it or not. I have been seeing people saying they have a good NY style pizza so I had to give it a try. Now I have found my favorite pizza on this side of the river if not in the metro area. This is probably the closest I've had to the pies I have had in NYC and I will now be a regular. Apologies to my wife for the extra pounds that are coming in the future! The only thing that would make this pizza better is if it'd be from a coal fired oven, but that's just preference. This stuff is great as is!

Today,thanks to our friends at Mariposa, we discovered a little jewel of an Italian restaurant, hidden in a strip mall on State Street towards the Knobs. The white tablecloths and intoxicating smell told us we were in for a treat. My friend and I both had pizzas for lunch that were right off the streets of Rome.... Thin, crispy, with homemade sauce and a very good selection of toppings including artichokes, eggplant and anchovies as well as the typical sausage,pepperoni,mushrooms etc. I hope people find Mimo's and patronize...it would be a loss.

Pepperoni and garlic pizza

I've been searching for my favorite pizza joint for 5 years now since I moved from Indy. I've finally found it! Perfectly cooked in a brick oven. The crust was a little burnt, which is my favorite. I got just pepperoni and garlic. Usually I order light on the sauce because I'm so picky, I forgot to do that this time and I'm glad I did. What an amazing flavorful and perfect pizza sauce. Can't wait to try many more pizzas!!! Keep up the good work Mimos! -Dustin

Bruschetta - phenomenal wow!
Amy E.

We went for Valentine's Day. The food was delicious, especially the bruschetta. I loved it. It was a good experience other than being way too warm. They said they turned on the air but the temp just stayed the same.

Medium, half cheese, half mushroom, olive, and EXCELLENT sausage.
Mandy R.

All about the food....delicious! My husband and I (family and friends) have visited this place over the last couple months many times. The alla vodka, pesto, seafood pasta, and pizza are all excellent! I had gotten the chicken parm 2-3 times and it was delicious, but on one occasion with the whole family, it didn't taste quite right (not sure what happened, may have frazzled the owner a little with our big group.) The complimentary garlic knots and marinara are delicious! The sauce is rich and tasty. The pizza is NY style, crispy, fold-in-half, fantastic. He has roll-ups that are good too with what ever topping you want, rolled up in a little pizza dough...have had the pepperoni and sausage. Great for lunch or an appetizer. We tried the Sicilian pizza once, it was fine, but not like my grandmother's. Now the place and the service...not great. The service is always hit or miss. The young girl, maybe Mimi's granddaughter, seems very sweet, but just not a good waitress. In the summer, the place is a little warmer than I'd like, but I think the pizza oven over powers his wall/ceiling A/C units. Now once Mimo sees you face 2-3 times, he always seems to remember you and becomes much more friendly. Just don't expect great, customer service

The pasta was properly cooked, the sauce was good, but not much better than a jar off the shelf. The veal, breaded & fried was overcooked - thus very chewy. I ordered a side Caesar salad. I appreciated the dressing on the side. Nothing out of the ordinary. Lettuce, cheese, croutons & dressing. For dinner, I went with a baked pasta sampler. I chose baked spaghetti w/meatballs; lasagna & meat ravioli. The raviolis were inconsistent. Some were good, but most had dough that I found undercooked and "pasty". The lasagna was good, although buried under the same sauce as the spaghetti. Hard to tell where one dish ended and the other began. Honestly, the hit of the meal was the meatball. Absolutely delicious. A huge breakdown was the gluten free spaghetti & meatballs I ordered to bring home to my wife. The pasta was actually rigatoni. It was severely undercooked. And a $3.99 upcharge? I could buy an entire box of pasta for $3.99. And after specifically ordering gluten free pasta, the "To-go" dinner came with regular "garlic bread". Oops. Tuscany needs to step up their game. Too many misses with just a few hits. For me, it's a one and done.

We arrived around five on a Sunday and it still took my husband a while to find a place, especially since snow mounds were still abundant ... I can't imagine if you arrived primetime on Friday or Saturday. We will definitely return.

The folks were friendly, Gary was a superb server with excellent recommendations & despite it being a coldish night, our patio seating was warm and comfy. I'm gonna be sad to leave this city. We have enjoyed ourselves immensely and if I ever make it back, bar bites are next up.
