Ristorante Mimesi — Restaurant in Rome

Highly recommend!

After searching for a nice place to eat around Rome with no luck, I went there with my wife as we just happened to give up on our search and this was the closest place I saw.

We arrived rather early and there was only one waiter at the time, hands down the best service I have ever experienced in my life. He was very friendly and quite skillfully ran the entire floor. This man was waiting tables, cutting bread, pouring beer, and shaking up cocktails without any stress or any customer realizing it was all just him. It was very impressive.

On another note, the music SLAPPED! My wife and I were shazamin the entire dinner.

This is truly a great Italian restaurant, bread was free other than in most other places here in Rome (Many will give you bread and then just add it to the bill) also we got some Limoncello after our meal which wrapped the evening up beautifully.

Truly recommend and this is the first place we will tell our friends and family to go to if/when they visit Rome.

Can't...

This place is SUPER overpriced for the quality of food.. their drinks are good but for around 12€ a drink it is a little much. The best thing about this place is the live music and atmosphere in which that gives and the waiters are friendly. My friend ordered a some "pork tacos" and paid 8€ for ONE little taco with a fake shell, and meat with a sauce that does not belong in a taco... this taco would be like $2 in the states and there is no reason I would even think to spend more than 1€ on the sh*t that she had and they gave two little potato wedged fries that seemed more like decoration than for consumption and the lasagna tasted like it was microwaved because it came out piping hot and it's quality was not there at all. Overall, of you come here then get a beer and enjoy the music, if you come here to eat then RUN AWAY as quickly as possible and find something...

🌟🌟🌟🌟 What an absolute gem! My friend—who lives just a block away—told me about this wonderful spot, and wow, am I glad they did. From the moment we sat down, everything felt warm, inviting, and authentically delicious. We started with the fried Jewish artichokes—crispy, delicate, and bursting with flavor—and followed that up with perfectly fried anchovies that were light, briny, and addictive. But the star of the show was the tagliolini misto di mare con polpetti e gamberoni—a.k.a. “sea fruit pasta with shrimps.” This dish was a revelation: the pasta cooked to perfection, swimming in a rich, savory seafood sauce loaded with tender baby octopus and giant, sweet shrimp. Every bite felt like a love letter from the sea. This place is a must-visit. I’m already...
