   This is just a great Italian neighborhood restaurant!! The food is outstanding (especially the spaghetti vongole) and the service really good, both inside and outside. Highly recommended.

   Great experience. Excellent entree, drinks and appetizer. The only drawback is that they sold out of the special between when the waiter described it and when we tried to order it. Also not cheap; definitely a special occasion kind of place.

   Chicken dish excellent. Pasta with rabbit sauce very good. Disappointed ice cream had run out though our server suggested cream which was ok. She was brilliantly attentive.

   Never disappointed. The olive oil is great. Our go-to are the gnocchi, cacio e pepe (not on the menu but always available) and the lasagne. Of course, the cask aged cocktails!

   Such a great Italian Restaurant in NE Portland. Very friendly staff. They ran out of one of the dishes about 8:45 but the chef made a special dish of pasta and vegetables which was perfect. Definitely a top place to go

   The food was excellent. The service was good excetpt they were slow to ask for my drink order. The wait staff was nice and not stuffy. I ate out side and the plates and silver ware and napkins were nice but the table was not fun or atractive. I just felt they could have done more with the outside experience to make if feel special. The beautiful lillies in the bathroom were a nice touch. The destinction and separation of the cafe and the marcato were confusing. There needs to be better descriptions and signage. I would definately recommend the cafe. My overall bill was much less than I anticipated.

    Another very nice visit to Mingo. We sat outside and the street noise was quite tolerable on a Sunday evening. Food was great. Prices quite reasonable. Server was professional, pleasant and attentive. We are looking forward to trying their sister "cafe" next door

    Great food, friendly service, and great cocktails. What’s not to like? For us, the lamb chops were a highlight. They were tender and flavorful, really some of the best we’ve ever had.

    As always delicious food. But the presentation of the food this time was basic to say the least. There was no attempt to make the food like the squares of portables mushrooms look like anything but brown squares, no greenery, no slicing. It was to put it politely - unappetizing. The polenta and Sugo looked like a glop of stew on something. All tasted very nice. But part of going out is the visual appeal of food.

    Wonderful, fresh, extremely tasty Italian food, with many options on the menu. The service was outstanding and friendly. In good weather, outdoor dining is nice, allows a bit of people watching, and increases a sense of privacy. Highest recommendation.

    I had dinner with my two adult kids. No spouses. No grandchildren. So it truly was a special occasion. Unfortunately I didn’t plan far enough in advance to sit inside where I love the ambience but we still had a delicious dinner with friendly service, outside. I always love Caffe Mingo!!

    Caffe Mingo has wonderful Italian/Mediterranean food, with fabulous signature drinks. It was great to be able to sit in an outside table with two friends. The staff was very attentive to our needs and did not rush us.

    Went for a birthday dinner while we were visiting Portland. It was delicious and memorable! All the food — starting with the bread, olive oil, and salt - was very flavorful. We’d go back and highly recommend Caffe Mingo.

    It’s been a while since I’ve been to Mingo’s, but it is as good, or better, than ever before. For me it starts with the staff and they were warm, and genuine! From wine to salad to the pork chop special, to desert, it was all fantastic! Can’t wait to return!

    The best of Portland. Always spot on. The Rabbit Pappardelle is the best dish in Portland! Been going here for over 10 years and the food and service is always outstanding!
