" I used to frequent Barba Mingo often, but my most recent visit didn’t quite meet expectations. While the atmosphere remains warm and welcoming, I found my dish, the spaghetti, to be somewhat bland compared to previous experiences. I will say the service was great, so I might try them again for lunch to see if there's a difference. " (*Curated Review*)

" I finally visited Barba Mingo after hearing great things! I had the spaghetti bolognese and found it rich and fulfilling. While it took a little while for our drinks to be refilled, the staff was friendly and accommodating. The overall vibe of this place is inviting, and I can see why it's so popular. I would definitely come back to try other dishes! " (*Curated Review*)

" What a delightful restaurant! Barba Mingo has created a lovely ambiance that is both intimate and relaxed. The homemade pasta is obviously a highlight, with wonderful texture. We tried two kinds of pasta and both were full of flavor. The only downside is that I found the prices a bit steep, but the quality pays off. Make sure to save room for dessert — the panna cotta was divine! " (*Curated Review*)

" If you appreciate Italian food that is crafted with care, Barba Mingo is a great choice. The focus on seasonal ingredients truly shines through in their dishes. I ordered a bowl of gnocchi that was light and pillowy, paired with a rich sauce. Although the restaurant was bustling, the staff maintained excellent service throughout the meal. This is a spot I intend to visit again soon! " (*Curated Review*)

" I came to Barba Mingo after hearing so many good things, and I was eager to try their lasagna. It did not disappoint! The dish was flavorful, and the pasta had the right amount of texture. However, I felt the portion size could have been slightly bigger for the price. Nevertheless, the setting was lovely and the service was impeccable. I'll be back for sure! " (*Curated Review*)

" I cannot stop raving about Barba Mingo! From the moment we entered, we were greeted with a smiling face that made us feel welcome. We sampled a variety of appetizers, including the calamari, which I must say was the best I've ever had - tender yet flavorful and not overly greasy! We followed that with the lasagna, which was rich and satisfying; it's clear they put a lot of attention to detail in their dishes. Our server was knowledgeable and offered great recommendations. The ambience was just perfect for a night out, and we never felt rushed. You can tell they pay great attention to their ingredients, making every bite a delight. Absolutely a gem in the city! " (*Curated Review*)

" Visited Barba Mingo for the first time last week, and it did not disappoint! We enjoyed the happy hour specials, which included some delectable mushroom bruschetta and an incredible salad. The portion sizes were adequate, and the flavors were bold and delicious. The ambiance is very cozy with an Italian flair, making it perfect for a casual meet-up with friends. The service was friendly and they worked efficiently despite being busy. Can't wait to return to try more of their menu! " (*Curated Review*)
