Mimmos Italian Village is one of the 3 original restaurants left in San Diego's historic Little Italy district. Established in 1973 in the heart of Little Italy you will find Mimmos is 3rd generation family owned and operated .

Enjoy our amazing food all homemade from scratch daily, using quality ingredients and fresh local produce .

Our popular dishes include, campanelle sausage, spicy shrimp linguine, and chicken parmesan. You can enjoy these dishes alongside a nice glass of wine or signature homemade sangria.

Mimmo's Italian Village was started by Vincenzo Mimmo Gaglio, originally from Montelepre, Sicily. Before arriving in San Diego, Gaglio sharpened his cooking skills in Tunisia, New York City, Ontario, California, and finally, San Diego.

Mimmo's seating areas consist of a charming indoor village, alfresco front and back patio seating.

    Between the outdoor and standard option for sitting I choose standard which usually means inside table, and they give us a table in side walk. Which I told them but they didn’t really care. We usually love the food there, but tonight something in pastas taste bitter. But we are still happy with service and the food.

    Mimmos always delivers on consistency for food on a Saturday. Had friends in town and the more flashier Italian places were booked as usual on a SAt. But don’t ever sleep on Mimmos, one of the original Italian restaurants in Little Italy. Always good on the Arancini and the spicy sausage dish. And the outdoor seating in the summer is just as good as down the street

    Our party of 3 was fortunate to have Alex as our waiter. He was attentive, anticipated our needs and very pleasant. However, it was downhill hill from there. The bread was not the fragrant chewy Italian bread we expected, but small pieces of dry toasted bread (although they did provide us with olive oil and balsamic vinegar bowl to dip it in). The pear salad had tiny bits of pear and well as 2 rice paper thin pieces. Quite disappointing, The Lasagna was tasteless. There was not enough sauce on the inside to mask the tasteless mound of pasta covered in a heavy cheese. I ate maybe 3 bites and couldn't continue. Also quite tasteless was the chicken Parmigiana. Nothing to brag about there. The Pappardelle pasta was quite thick and the Bolognese sauce had chunks of meat instead of a fine, smooth sauce. All in all it was quite a disappointing evening.

    Our waiter, Cesar, was the absolute best! Made our first time experience at Mimmo’s enjoyable! The food was on point, you could really taste how fresh everything was! We ordered the calamari and meatballs to start with, and omg, it was so freaking good!! For my main course, I order the pasta pescatore, I unfortunately didn’t get to finish it but I took it home she devoured it because it was that good! I will definitely be back!

    We really enjoyed the ambience at Mimmo’s. Our waiter was attentive and very friendly. We started with the caprese salad and unfortunately it was underwhelming to say the least. My daughter and I enjoyed our pasta dishes but my husband’s pasta was made with way too much lemon. He likes lemon but it truly overpowered the dish. With all the other Italian restaurants to choose from in Little Italy I don’t think we will be back.

    Went here before and everything was perfect. This is the second time me and my family went and it was a massive downgrade. The first time, we were served with complimentary bread and olive oil when we sat down. Now, we had to ask for the bread which didn't come with olive oil. Ordered 3 pasta pescatore as it was a favorite from last time. One of the pasta pescatore came out really dry so we asked for extra sauce. The extra sauce came out really sour. I understand that the sauce is supposed to be lemony but all I could taste is lemon. Requested a more creamy and less lemony sauce but the chef and waiter kept insisting that's how the sauce is supposed to be. We just took it to go and fixed it ourselves at home. The waiter was kind enough to discount the dish for us.

    Limited choice for pasta items without a sauce including cream. It was ok, but my sauce was overly salty and the seating areas off to the side got very little ventilation and was stuffy.

    Food was amazing, highly recommend the charcuterie and any pasta dish! The only reason why it wasn’t all 5 stars is because of the noise on the street and we were on the sidewalk from choppers going by…. Our server was so great, friendly and attentive so service and food is definitely 5 stars!!
