Mimmo's Destin Ristorante Italiano

"I don’t even know where to begin. Super neat atmosphere decorated for Christmas and playing some kind of Christmas jazz. Off season so slower but amazing staff from host to waitress to bartender. Loved hearing the staff talking to the locals. Got the garlic rolls like everyone recommended in the reviews and they were right do NOT skip those! I decided to order the saltimbocca, I have been chasing a god-tier saltimbocca I had in Vesta in Iowa City and nothing has ever even come close. Until this, I was in HEAVEN!!! I could have cried because I decided this would be my last try at ordering it and it was SO GOOD. Then dessert. My husband got chocolate cake and he’s not normally a sweets guy but he finished it and said it was the best dessert he’d ever had! And I got the tiramisu and it was god-tier, like I am going to have a hard time ordering it anywhere else. Every drink I tried was absolutely excellent, and that was something I was nervous about but they all three hit perfectly. Our waitress specifically was Lola and she was absolutely fantastic. I cannot recommend this place enough, if you’re on the fence please go!"

"took the lady on a date night here and we had a great experience! it’s a little fancier italian restaurant. the decor was nice and welcoming. the host and staff were friendly and professional too. we ordered the calamari for appetizer and it was delicious. the marinara that came with it was to die for. probably the best marinara i’ve ever had! and i’m not the biggest fan of marinara as it can taste generic but this was amazing! for entree, i got the special which was a crusted grouper over risotto and broccolini. tender fish with an amazing crust. we got the chicken alfredo and that was creamy and a classic. for dessert we went all out and got tiramisu and the cannoli. both were delicious and light. overall, we had such a great time and will definitely be coming back. we recommend making reservations ahead of time."

"First time coming to this restaurant and vacation in Destin every year. The atmosphere and food are top tier. Our server Clair, was so knowledgeable and gave the best recommendations. Definitely recommend getting the pizza and cannot go wrong with any of the pastas. Everything tasted so fresh and paired very well together. Will be coming here!"
