Gazelle
13/06/2026It’s a small cute place! Definitely worth the visit! The space is small and you’ll need to be patient to get a table
Alba Xhava
13/06/2026It was such a great experience, very cute corner and street, Ilaria was a great host and me and my friend had an awesome experience ! Everything was also delicious and with a good and reasonable price :)

13/06/2026The food was delicious and the place was lovely. However, it would be even better if the staff were a bit more courteous and polite.
Adam Torem
11/06/2026Lovley spot for a classic Roman meal. The staff is super welcoming especially our server, from Cuba!

10/06/2026The staff was friendly, it was very warm after our walk from the Vatican. I got a salad and my husband got the lasagna. It was all phenomenal!!! They even called for a taxi for us to get back to our hotel.

10/06/2026So delicious. Prompt friendly service. Delicious food.

08/06/2026The 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
Dawid
07/06/2026Sorry but 4.7 is too high. I recommend going somewhere else, looking local restaurants off of square. So very tight, table by table.

06/06/2026My 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.

06/06/2026Best lasagna pasta.
Mateusz Matysik
05/06/2026I’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.

05/06/2026Awesome Pasta! My 5 year old loved it!
Sezin Ok
05/06/2026If 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!
Sofia Vieira
04/06/2026This 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.
Shelby
03/06/2026We 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.
Ashley Barber
03/06/2026I would visit here again in a heartbeat 💓

02/06/2026Amazing food, great experience and our server Paloma was an absolute sweetheart ✨
Andreia Dhooge
31/05/2026Wow. That’s the word we used to most while eating here. Everything looked so good, and tasted just like we imagined. Extremely worth it even if there’s a waiting time.
Rena
31/05/2026Excellent 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.
Shekhar S
30/05/2026A bit crowded and good waiting before service. Really good carbonara.

28/05/2026Amazing food, waitress really nice her name is Ilaria. Nice vibe, very nice wine.
Ross Hendricks
28/05/2026Best 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!!!
David Ingham
28/05/2026Lovely little place. Busy and lively. Service was good and food was lovely.
Andy Bunnman
27/05/2026Our first nighttime meal. Excellent pasta. Reasonably priced. Busy area but good atmosphere. We would have eaten here again but so many great food options in Rome. Relaxed service.

24/05/2026I 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.
Debra Fretwell
24/05/2026Lovely authentic Italian food, great service very friendly would highly recommend. WARNING gets very busy and doesn't take reservations.

Jackie Hardman
22/05/2026Our last night it Rome we had dinner at Mimi & Coco. It was our best we ate in Rome. We shared the meatballs to start which were AMAZING. I had the Lasagne and My husband the clam spaghetti. Impressed with both. Would definitely go back. Huge shout out to our wonderful waitress Paloma. Best service we have had in Italy 🇮🇹

Maggie Weldin
20/05/2026There 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.
Juan Carlos Ramirez
19/05/2026AMAZING!!!
Tory Novikova
19/05/2026Truly 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
19/05/2026I 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
Tim Aliev
18/05/2026Thank you, Paloma and Daniele, for a fantastic experience! The food was amazing, the service was excellent, the music was wonderful, and the atmosphere made the evening truly special.

18/05/2026The meatballs were absolutely delicious, highly recommend it!
Jon Simmons
18/05/2026This 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.
Platon Nicolai
17/05/2026Very tasty pasta
Peter Reiss
17/05/2026Hands down the best Tonerello Amatriciana in Rome. Sahar was our waitress and she was so nice and helpful. Would highly recommend to anyone in the area.
Aleksandra Kucharska
01/12/2022Amazing place! One of the best pasta I’ve ever eaten, delicious focaccia and staff is supernice ❤️ they will do everything so you would feel welcome there:) I’ll definitely come back there! And of course wines - you can’t miss that place. At the end of your visit you will get a shot - just another argument in they favor.

14/06/2026芝士菠菜饺子很好吃,芝士一点都不腻,反而很清新,我想点经典的阿佩罗橙光,但是当服务生问我想要经典的还是更甜一点的我选择了甜一点的,酒不是橘色的是绿色的,当得知我本想要经典的,他们非常好心表示如果觉得不好喝可以送我一杯,事实上味道真的很好,他们还是送了我一杯,真是太nice了

26/05/2026Excellente pâte. Le temps d’attente pour avoir une table est respectable. Service un peu lent, restaurant très bruyant.
Nicky Blasco
26/05/2026Comimos 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.

22/05/2026J'ai pris une salade à 16,50 euros, il y avait 75% de salade et 25 % d'ingrédients et ne parlant pas du pain, que même les pigeons en auraient même pas voulu et qu'ils vous font payer quand même 3 euros. Enfin, à fuir à bon entendeur.

20/05/2026Wat een heerlijke avond en eten. Wij hadden de Parma pizza en de bediening was super. Wij wilden graag de Parma pizza met tomaatjes en dat was geen probleem. 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 😝🤩
