Mimmo's Italian Restaurant & Bar

Wow!! Fantastico!  Great dinner, great service. A wonderful find. Thanks Joey and Nino. We will definitely be back.

My boyfriend and I visited this place while in Palm Springs 2 weeks ago... I wish I could remember the name of the concierge at our hotel so I could call and personally thank her for the fabulous recommendation!

We dined there on a Friday night. When the walked in we were greeted by a lovely woman who we later found out is one of the owners! The place was pretty busy and I'm glad we called ahead to reserve a table. The ambiance was very welcoming with Italian music in the background. Our server was Joey, one of Mimmo's sons! Talk about a family business!

Now to the best part...

We started with the mussels and clams appetizer which came in this wonderful savory broth which is really nice to dip the homemade bread in. Really fresh; not a closed one in the bunch. Then we shared shared a caprese salad with yummy soft mozzarella.

For the main course I ordered the Veal Scaloppine with prosciutto and sage and my honey had the Gnocchi Pesto. We were both wowed. Mine was super tender and delicious and came with a side of polenta and veggies. It's super easy to screw up gnocchi (I've done it many times), but THESE gnocchi were AMAZING. I made the man fork over several of them. The pesto was perfect and had a great mild garlic flavor. Even though we'd been checked on by our great server, Mimmo himself came over to personally ask how we were enjoying our meal, and told me that his wife had picked the sage on my veal that morning from their garden! Wow.

They also have an excellent wine selection. I can't remember which one I had but it was very nice. I wish we hadn't been too satisfied to have dessert. We will next time. The portions are totally worth the prices, which are really reasonable for the quality of food.

You can really tell that the owners love their business and I think they're going to be around for a loooong time. We will most certainly be stopping in next time we're in the southern part of the state.

Mimmo's Italian Restaurant truly is amazing! I first tried Mimmo's last year in November and from that point on haven't stopped going back.

The Petrale Sole with capers in a lemon-butter sauce is absolutely decadent. The fish is cooked to perfection and is served with two sides of your choosing. Their portion sizes are very generous and you do indeed get what ou pay for. All of their food tastes fresh and is truly made to order.

The owners both walk around the entire evening checking on all guests and making each customer feel welcome and comfortable. Anytime I am looking to take someone out to a new restaurant and introduce friends to an upscale true Italian eatery I think no further than Mimmo's!

Everything from the ambiance to the service is nothing short of five stars.
