    It’s a small cute place! Definitely worth the visit! The space is small and you’ll need to be patient to get a table

    The food was fresh and tasty (we had pinsas), although I’m not sure about the authenticity of mayonnaise on pizza) The staff were efficient but unsmiling The tables were very close together but angled to give a little personal space

    Sorry but 4.7 is too high. I recommend going somewhere else, looking local restaurants off of square. So very tight, table by table.

    My experience at Mimi and Coco in Italy was absolutely phenomenal. The Italian food was outstanding—fresh, flavorful, and surprisingly healthy while still being authentic and satisfying. Every dish was beautifully prepared and showcased high-quality ingredients. What truly made the evening exceptional was the service. Daniela, the bartender, was phenomenal. He was incredibly kind, thoughtful, and knowledgeable, taking the time to explain menu options and offer excellent recommendations. His warm personality and attention to detail made us feel genuinely welcome and well cared for throughout our visit. Thank you for the shot. If you’re looking for delicious Italian cuisine paired with exceptional hospitality, Mimi and Coco is a must-visit. I highly recommend it and look forward to returning.

    I’m not rating the food because we never got the chance to eat there despite two attempts — I’m rating the service. Although the venue opened at 10:00 a.m., on our first visit we were told that the kitchen would not be operating until around 11:15 a.m. and that we could only have drinks. We decided to leave and came back the next day after 11:00 a.m. At the entrance, one of the waitresses looked at us as if we were causing her trouble just by standing there and rudely muttered that they were still closed, even though the place was once again supposed to be open from 10:00 a.m. We returned about fifteen minutes later, giving the place one last chance. This time, a different waiter told us that we still could not come in and that we should come back in five minutes. When we asked whether our child could at least sit down and wait those five minutes, we were completely turned away by another waiter. I would not recommend this place.

    If you are looking for an authentic, vibrant, and utterly delicious dining experience in Rome, look no further than Mimi e Cocò. From the moment we walked in, the atmosphere was warm and welcoming, perfectly capturing the Roman charm. The pasta was cooked to absolute perfection, and the wine selection was incredible. However, what truly made our night unforgettable was the outstanding service from Kevin. He is an absolute gem! Kevin went above and beyond to make us feel like family. His recommendations were spot-on, his energy was incredibly uplifting, and his attention to detail was unmatched. He brings a level of passion and hospitality that is rare to find. If you visit Mimi e Cocò, do yourself a favor and ask for Kevin—he will elevate your dining experience from great to extraordinary. We cannot wait to come back! 10/10!

    This was the worst lasagna I have ever eaten. It barely resembled a traditional meat lasagna. The dish was bland, poorly prepared, and extremely disappointing. I would not recommend it to anyone looking for a good lasagna.

    We had an incredible dinner here on our first night in Rome. We were nervous about dining with our 10 month old baby but our server was so warm, kind and accommodating. The food was excellent and the service was 10/10.

    Excellent experience! The food was delicious, the service was great, and the atmosphere was lovely. I recommend visiting during the day, as it’s less crowded than in the evening. The staff kindly made a cocktail similar to one we asked for that wasn’t on the menu, and the tiramisu was delicious.

    Best meatballs I’ve ever had in my life! A must have if you go. Service was pretty bottom tier for Roman standards. Not awful. Just not satisfactory and certainly not good. Drinks were also amazing. We’d definitely give it another try despite the service hiccups. Again, meatballs were wildly good!!!

    I waited in line for a table and was able to be seated after waiting for 10 minutes or so. Service was very slow. I ended up having to get up from the table and walk up to pay. I would have had another glass of wine of I could have gotten the waitress' attention.

Impressed with both. Would definitely go back. Huge shout out to our wonderful waitress Paloma. Best service we have had in Italy 🇮🇹

    There are a lot of restaurants in Rome that are overhyped on social media, but this one is worth the hype. We had a delightful meal here. The line moves quick, and there’s plenty of people watching to be had while you wait for a table. Once you’re seated, the food is lovely.

    Truly delicious experience. We had the meatballs and potatoes dish along with the tuna salad with avocado. Probably the most scrumptious tender meatballs ever eaten, and shockingly yummy salad for those who need a break from gluten. Though, the complementary focaccia was seriously the best. Will be back!

  • Jake Long
    19/05/2026

    I came because of the reviews, but thought it was just okay. I had some appetizers and then the calcio e peppe. It was all pretty salty and expensive for what you got. I also felt the wait staff was pushing you to order additional things and pushing you to leave a review which I really dislike. Nice atmosphere though

    This is an excellent restaurant with very attentive staff. The food was delicious. We started with a salmon appetizer which was delicious with their focacia bread. Then we had a very nice salad with tuna in it. It was really good. Our main dishes was lasagna and chicken skewers. The chicken just needs a sauce served with it. But an excellent place.

    Comimos cacio e pepe y una carbonara, ambos platos demasiado condimentados... muy salados y la carbonara tenia demasiada pimienta y la panceta era mala. Medios flojos en comparacion con otros lugares. El personal muy atento y amable, y el ambiente lindo. Hicimos fila 30 min a las 21 hs un lunes, no valio la pena.

Ook wilden we de carbonara pasta glutenvrij wat ook geen probleem was. SUPER! Van te voren Caprese gedeeld met foccacia. Alles was heerlijk en de sfeer was goed. Klein maar fijn. Zo lekker dat we vergeten zijn om een foto te maken van de pizza's en pasta onder het genot van een Aperol 😝🤩
