Talk about a hidden gem. If you’re staying downtown it’s a 20-30 minute walk up into a more residential area. But worth the trip.
Everything from the appetizer to the main courses to dessert was terrific. Try the rabbit with pappardelle or wild mushroom crepes. We started with the Brussels sprouts salad. (You’ll be inspired to try it at home.)
Nice wine and beer selection. Terrific service (thank you Eugene!).
We had been in awhile, as we do not get to this side of town often. But luckily we had the opportunity to enjoy and excellent meal, wine, and cognac here. Eugene, our waiter was wonderful! If you have not dined here, you are missing a neighborhood gem!
Pasta was good, but a bit too salty for me. I've had better in the neighborhood. Expensive. 3 stars.
We got take out pizzas on a different day. They were awesome. Great thin crust and the toppings were great. 5 stars.
Average to 4 stars...
Exquisite, upscale, Italian bar and lounge. Our server, Eric/D'Eric/James/Jameson, was patient, informative, and playful with our varied group of five. The Malbec wine was just what I wanted (a little bite, but full and smooth). The Zin had a deep, full body flavor. The oil and salt with the bread was simple in presentation, but a fantastic play of flavors on the tongue. The calamari was so much easier to eat not being fried, and the garlic aioli sauce that went with it was more than pleasing. Kudos to the bartender who made my Irish Coffee: it was the best made one I've had. Lastly, it was a wonderful experience that we were able to take our drinks with us, from Bar Mingo, to Caffe Mingo.
Delicious meal and wonderful service. The spaghetti was the perfect kick of acidity to balance the light creaminess of the lasagna. Acorn squash was buttery and smooth. And we got three bread “refills” because it was so tender. Great experience!!!
Delicious salad with savory porchini mushrooms, peppery greens, sweet red onions, crumbly shaved parmesan and a toasted pine nuts vinaigrette. Delicate, pillowy gnocchi in a bright tomato-butter sauce. Crusty bread served with coarsely flaked salt and the most delicious fruity olive oil I've ever tasted.
Also: thoughtful, friendly service. Comfortable seating, cozy decor.
It may be Goldilocks’ version of upscale Italian dining. Everything was ... just right.
Bar Mingo has quickly become one of my favorite dining spots in the city. From a great happy hour, a decadent and delicious menu, and a warm and welcoming atmosphere and staff I'd highly recommend stopping by for a drink, some amazing food and service, and phenomenal dessert!
Really like this place! Delicious food made very fresh, seasonal, with excellent ingredients. Delicious! Pizzas are especially good with thin chewy-crisp crusts and just-right amount of toppings.
Incredible food and service, great location, and perfectly low key space. We'll be back soon!
This place was an absolute delight. The environment was warm and inviting. The staff was friendly and attentive. The food was unassumingly delicious and simple. There was no wait, and everything we ate was excellent. It’s the perfect place for date night or catching up with a friend. We will definitely be back again soon.
The Pesto Alfredo and Sugo Beef were exquisite dishes of very high quality. We look forward to returning for an Italian getaway well worth the trip.
Spectacular food and drink in an obviously well managed restaurant run by a solid team. Our server was likable, warm, and knowledgeable without any pretension
