21st little secret got out – Awsome wine, found my new favorate barossa here. Food features northwest seasonal ingredients, and this place is a great place for a date. Just make sure you get reservations on the weekend.
Wonderful place for Italian food in Portland Hubby and I went to celebrate our anniversary and had a wonderfull meal there. I had the fresh pasta and hubby had lasagne - both were awesome. One drawback - they don't take reservations and its small so during dinner hour it may be a long wait for a table.
Cafe Mingo is like an old friend that never changes, and always leaves you comforted – Ah, Cafe Mingo, some things never change. I dont usually take the time to write these sort of things, but there is something about this loud little restaurant that merits a moment of my time. I use to eat at Cafe mingo all of the time, but I had not eaten there in 2 years because of post baby chaos. My family and I were glad to sit at a wooden table in the back, and reminisce about the many great Mingo memories. We had to sit and wait 25 m... read more
food was not as good as i was led to believe and the service was bad – I had heard about Caffe Mingo from a variety of people as one of the places "to go to" in PDX for Italian food, so I was really looking forward to our experience there. The place is fairly small, so it's noisy when it's busy, that is to be expected. But it took a while for our server to come to our table to even greet us to start the evening, at least 15 minutes. Then when I selected our wines for our group (there were 6 of us) they were out of both of th... read more
Fun Restaurant and Great Staff – I was recently back in Portland after a year of living in LA. I eat out quite a bit, and rarely do I walk away with the notion that the service was perfect, but it was a rainy and packed Saturday night at Cafe Mingo where I had one of the best times in a restaurant in my life. My friend and I had a fantastic meal of a Lamb special, and crab pasta that was ridiculously good. The food was simple yet divine, the atmosphere loud and fun, and our server, Katie, was amazing. She paired a bottle of ... read more
Awesome server – My friend and I stopped in for an early dinner Saturday night. The food (including acorn squash flan and incredible baked prunes with marscapone) was delicious, but the service was truly exquisite. I often find Portland service to be lackluster at best, but Katie at Caffe Mingo is an exception. She is knowledgeable yet easy going, friendly, and gives off a vibe that says she is genuinely happy to be there. She really made our experience fantastic. She knows her wine and food. Thanks, Katie!
exceptional salad and dessert! – Don't get me wrong; everything (except for pizza) that comes out of their open kitchen is fabulous......but the salad and dessserts are exceptional! The greens are crisp and lightly flavored with their original dressing. The desserts are not overly sweet or too rich. They are also served in a right portion in a very simple manner. It a very sophisticated dining experience you can expect from this restaurant.
Loved it – Everyone in Portland should go to Cafe Mingo at least once. it reminds me of NYC style crowded bistros. it is all class all the way, high priced but well worth it. You wait in line while people pass your drinks to you from the bar..fire-line style. You sit at community tables which is fun and they have some romantic ones but hey lets face it the place is tiny and the food is LARGE..go for the food learn to love the ambiance..it is great once in a while to get out of the safety of your big comfy booth.
Cute and quaint – Caffe Mingo was a nice way to spend a romantic evening with my husband of seven years. I love Italian food - and I love the trio of Italian restaurants on this block. This was the first time we had ever been to Caffe Mingo, but it definitely will not be the last!
