“ One of the best places in Rome to eat. Cocktails are really good, food is fantastic. The waiter Alexander is the best! Recommend this place ”
“ This place is happening when the music is playing!! Been here 3 times and Alex our server saved our same seat they even remembered our drinks. We had such a great time for food and live music. Stop here for some fun! ”
“ Very friendly service, good strong drinks, amazing atmosphere with pianist, and an awesome place to people watch. The calamari and fish was perfect and flavorful. The gnocchi was outstanding and the drink prices were reasonable. Close to some tourist attractions so food prices are a bit high but otherwise it is great. They were so friendly! ”
“ Went to Rome with my best friend, and we tried SO many restaurants during our visit. Mimesi is the only one we ate at twice! Their food is phenomenal, the drinks were delicious, the staff were so pleasant and friendly. I cannot recommend this place enough. ”
“ What an absolute gem! My friend—who lives just a block away—told me about this wonderful spot, and wow, am I glad they did. From the moment we sat down, everything felt warm, inviting, and authentically delicious. We started with the fried Jewish artichokes—crispy, delicate, and bursting with flavor—and followed that up with perfectly fried anchovies that were light, briny, and addictive. But the star of the show was the tagliolini misto di mare con polpetti e gamberoni—a.k.a. “sea fruit pasta with shrimps.” This dish was a revelation: the pasta cooked to perfection, swimming in a rich, savory seafood sauce loaded with tender baby octopus and giant, sweet shrimp. Every bite felt like a love letter from the sea. This place is a must-visit. I’m already planning my return! ”
“ Good little cocktail bar to sit outside. It's surrounded by antiquity. The view is very pleasant. They have decent stock and are capable of mixing a wide range of cocktails at very good prices. PRO TIP: If you're particular about your drink, it's best to quality control the ingredients and ask them to measure. They have live music at night. When we were there a guy on guitar played covers. It's a good place. Check out my profile for more great eateries and craft cocktail bars. -VanPort Insider ”
“ Found this spot for music and drinks, and it was excellent for that! We met Andrea, the guitar player, and enjoyed his entertaining way of playing American and English tunes. So, we came back a second night. The cocktails were also excellent. ”
