This place seems like any other store front in a shopping center with a grocery store. The difference is that they hand make pappardelle! YUM-O! When you’re wanting authentic Italian cuisine, you can’t beat Mimmo’s!

I would definitely recommend this place for drinks and appetizers but not dinner. Which is a shame because the flatbreads are SO good you would think the entire menu would be. We tried it. All of it! I wanted to love it so bad!

Wowwww! European breakfast a couple of miles from my doorstep?! I’m in! They’ve been voted best eggs Benedict in town for like 10 years or something ridiculous. The secret is, it’s not served on an English muffin, but a Yorkshire pudding! SO good! Make sure to check the hours before heading that way though!
