" Barba Mingo has been an Italian favorite of mine for years. Their attention to detail in food preparation is commendable. I particularly enjoyed their vegetarian options, which are just as savory and fulfilling as their meat dishes. Though a bit busy during weekend nights, the service keeps up wonderfully and contributes to a delightful dining experience each time. Highly recommend making a reservation! " (*Curated Review*)

" I recently had dinner at Barba Mingo and it was nothing short of fantastic! The pasta dishes are evidently made fresh daily, which made a huge difference. I ordered the gnocchi, and it was perfectly fluffy and soaked in a sweet tomato sauce that had just the right amount of acidity. The atmosphere was cozy, making it ideal for an intimate dining experience. I also enjoyed a glass of their Chianti, which paired perfectly with my meal. The service was prompt and friendly as well. I highly recommend this spot if you're in the area! " (*Curated Review*)

" Had dinner at Barba Mingo recently and was very impressed. The food was fresh, and it was evident that they use high-quality ingredients. My husband and I shared a pizza – the crust was thin and crispy, just how we like it! The menucraftsmanship certainly didn't disappoint. The staff were attentive and engaged, which made a significant positive impact on our evening. We would recommend this place for those looking for an authentic Italian dining experience.

" Overall, Barba Mingo offers a wonderful dining experience. I was impressed by their attention to detail, especially in preparing the gnocchi — they cooked it to perfection! The ambiance felt high-end but not snobby, making us comfortable throughout our meal. Portion sizes felt adequate, though I could have eaten more of that fantastic lasagna! Definitely worth a visit! " (*Curated Review*)

" Had a lovely evening at Barba Mingo. The atmosphere was inviting and warm. I shared a couple of small plates - the calamari and mushroom bruschetta – both were full of flavor and very well presented. The service was attentive without being intrusive. Although I did find the prices a bit on the higher end, I think the quality of the food justified it. I will definitely be returning to explore more of their menu! " (*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*)
