We looked at menu for about 2 minutes and were asked if we're ready to order, we stated we needed more time, back in another 2 minutes. We ordered chicken marsala and caprese salad. Chicken was OK lacked flavor. Caprese was swimming in garlic oil. Food does come out super quick. Funny still no aroma of food even when it's served.

The atmosphere was warm, the food was incredible, and the whole experience felt memorable from start to finish. Our servers, Megan and Jessica, were fantastic and made the evening even better. They were friendly, helpful, and made sure everything was perfect. They took the time to explain the menu and made us feel very welcome. Every dish tasted fresh and thoughtfully prepared. You can tell a lot of care goes into the food here. I'm really glad I chose this restaurant for my birthday and I'll definitely be coming back again

There was a large tent set up for ourdoor seating, and the weather was mild this evening. Several servers passed by and assured us that someone will be with us. After a few short moments, someone arrived and took us and another party to the back, another series of turns, into a secluded wing near the kitchen. The waiter, Marlon P., was very nice, and explained the specials, one of which we ordered: the Muffuletta Baked Rigatoni. He said it was like a deconstructed Muffuletta sandwich (which I didn't get to try in New Orleans). I ate the angel hair with vito's il diavolo sauce with sausage. Also ordered was a lasagna and Nico's Greek salad. The meals were delicious, especially the baked Muffultta Rigatoni! I was impressed by the food, and the area we sat in was decorated nicely! Much better than sitting in a tent in the front of the restaurnt.

We felt very under dressed for this restaurant but, you wouldn't know it based on how we were treated. We were kindly greeted at the door and offered a table right away. We opted to sit at the bar because we were in a hurry wanted to place a to-go order for a pizza. Our bartender was very kind and accommodating, He answered all of our questions and made recommendations. All of the pizza offerings looked fantastic. We settled on the Calzone Genovese, even though this was a calzone there was no problem making it into a pizza. The wood fire pizza oven was in the center of the restaurant, so we were able to watch them make our pizza. It had ricotta cheese, mushrooms, pesto, and caramelized onions. It was very good and a nice change from a pizza with classic red sauce. The pizza crust had a good amount of char on the bottom with just the right amount of thickness. I would recommend Mimmo's to anyone and will definitely return if I am ever back in Destin.

Brosefs, (and brosephines), I wanted to take a picture, but the family and I crushed the pizzas before I realized my review here would be lacking :(. Anyway, service was super quick and easy, the ambiance was chill, and it was easy to get in and out of. We got the Al Capone pizza (red sauce) as well as the Da Matteo (white sauce). Both were amazing, and I'd recommend the white sauce one more. Don't hesitate on this place! If you want legitimate and real authentic Italian (not Americanized Italian), check this place out! Absolutely will be back next time we are in the area.

You know that dangerous moment when work colleagues hype a restaurant so hard that you walk in…read morealready preparing your disappointment speech? That was me heading into Angelena's Ristorante Italiano. By this point, I was fully expecting the usual "it's amazing" translation, which in restaurant terms often means nice lighting, tiny portions, and flavors that peaked at olive oil. Instead, this place did the unthinkable. It actually lived up to the hype. The menu reads like a beautiful collection of words I absolutely cannot pronounce with confidence, but luckily fluency in Italian is not required when your taste buds immediately understand the assignment. I went with the bolognese lasagna, and this thing came out like a love letter to comfort food. Rich, bold, deeply flavorful, and gloriously rustic, the kind of dish that tastes like somebody's grandmother has been perfecting it since the Roman Empire. Every bite had depth. Nothing fussy, nothing trying too hard, just serious flavor delivered with confidence. The focaccia showed up doing exactly what great bread should do: crisp in the right places, soft where it counts, and impossible to stop tearing apart even when you know your entrée is on deck. The appetizer played a completely different game, more delicate, more refined, and smart enough to leave me wanting the next course instead of filling me up before the main event. That's restraint. That's craft. That's a kitchen that knows what it's doing. And the room matches the food. Clean, classy, polished without feeling stiff. The kind of place where everything from the lighting to the plate placement quietly reminds you that yes, somebody here cares. Service was equally dialed in. Professional, on point, and smooth enough that the whole meal just flowed. No awkward gaps, no disappearing acts, no "how is everything?" drive-bys while your mouth is full. This is the rare restaurant that survives workplace hype and then casually exceeds it. Five stars. Angelena's didn't just meet expectations, it made my coworkers look smarter for recommending it.
