    Amazing pizzas. So large and with copious toppings - we took half home to have for dinner. And really fresh ingredients. Quite delicious.

    The food was poor. Lasagne dry and not up to previous visits. I think they changed the chef. Expensive bearing in mind only zucchini starter and I didn’t eat a main course and no wine. Almost £90.

    We love Mimo. It’s the best local Italian in London. The ambience is always amazing and the food excellent.

    We have been many times to this restaurant as it's our favourite in the area. The food was superb, as always, well presented and reasonably priced. Although the restaurant was absolutely full we were served well and didn't have any long waits for the food. The menu is large so do allow some time to read through it well before choosing but we have never faulted any of the dishes we have ordered. It's a great place to take friends and family.

    This is a local jewel. Great atmosphere, fantastic service and the best pizza in North London. They have always been excellent, and they have now a new pizza master in the over that has raised the quality even more! Definitely a place to visit if you are near the Heath!

    I ate here a year ago when i was last in the London area and my wife and i greatly enjoyed our experience. I went back with my wife and 2 colleagues from Canada and Brazil. It was unanimous. Outstanding and special food - awesome, fresh pizza, we also had the aubergine and bufala mozzarella. I had the penne arabiatta. It was perfectly spiced, not hot hot - just tasty and filling. Each dish was its own mini taste sensation. Mohammed and the other staff we very professions, helpful when we were choosing and friendly throughout. We will be back next year. Thanks for a memorable experience, Lorne

    5.5/10

    The restaurant was cute, very relaxed, we sat outside, where the tables are on top of the road, everyone’s starters arrived which were Okish, but the bruschetta that was ordered never did, the mains were nice but my portion of taglioni with truffle was huge, enough for 3 people, so it was asthetically not attractive , the food was nice, would I return no, simply because the service was bad, and the food was ok nothing special …..

    Great little find! Good food but it’s a bit tight inside and there wasn’t many staff on the floor. Would still go back, food was lovely.

    A visit to Mimmo La Bufala last night was wonderful. the staff were welcoming and the food was good. The menu covers for both, non-vegetarians as well as vegetarians. A vast amount of choice. The staff were friendly and very accomodating.

    Excellent food from a menu that rarely changes. But service this evening wasn’t high quality. Slow, and things forgotten. It felt expensive this time. £132 for a meal with 3 kids and 1 adult, no alcohol and nothing particularly special.

    The food was amazing! Both the bolognaise dishes were delicious along with the zuchinni and side dishes!

    Despite the difficult or lack of staffing which affected the service and their ability to accommodate reorders of drinks, etc. I still highly recommend the restaurant for their food.

    I booked a birthday meal here and most of the evening was lovely. The food was great and the atmosphere was really nice. Unfortunately the night turned sour when a waiter spilled an amaro (dark liquor) on one of our party’s white jumper. We were understanding and carried on with our evening. However, when the bill arrived, we asked for the service charge to be removed (because of the jumper incident), and were met with hostility. The hostess, instead of immediately removing the service charge, asked who spilled the amaro, and when we pointed out the waiter and he was called over, he denied it. The hostess did not apologise and was rude. A very bad end to an otherwise pleasant evening.

    I’ve been here a few times. The food is excellent and a lovely buzzy atmosphere. Last night, a hot summer night, was so so busy there inside and outside. The service was not great but they more then compensated in the end. Absolutely wouldn’t stop me going again as they recognised it. Love love love this place

    This is an excellent Italian restaurant, although fairly pricey. The food was great and the staff were really welcoming and attentive. If you like true Italian food and drink, I recommend! I will definitely go back - thank you Mimmo!

    Excellent Italian food and true hospitality. We feel like visiting good friends (who can cook!) This time the asparagus risotto was super tasty. But many other dishes which we saw on nearby tables looked tempting.

    Since we had our 2year old my partner and I have been on 6 date nights and we are both so happy we picked here to be our 7th. It was recommended to us by our neighbours and we were so highly surprised and so grateful for the food. Everything was lovely. We had the margarita to start, pasta for mains and the panacotta for dessert, the margarita pizza was especially good! I’d travel for that pizza. This entire experience was made more lovely by the gentle music that was playing in the background/ the wait staff. It felt like we were in a Michelin star restaurant just without the price tag. So happy this was our first time here and it definitely won’t be our last.
