The atmosphere here is fantastic — warm, lively, and elevated by the live piano and singer, which really adds to the experience. It’s a great spot for drinks and ambiance. That said, the food was underwhelming overall. The appetizers were below average: the mozzarella sticks had very dense, stale-tasting breading, and the stuffed clams (and mushrooms) felt overly heavy on breadcrumbs. The calamari was similarly forgettable. The carbonara (a very generous portion) was the highlight and genuinely good. However, the veal Marsala was extremely under salted, and the sauce lacked depth and flavor. Pasta and protein dishes were priced in the mid-$20s to $30 range, and the wine carafes at around $40 are a decent value.
I’d return for drinks and the vibe, but probably not for a full dinner

The pianist James didn’t know the song that I requested which was a hit famous song 🙁 I was disappointed.
But, the baked clams were so delish had to order two. Lasagna wasn’t bad.
Went again recently and it was too late to catch the pianist 🙁
4 order of clams was delicious!

Three of us stopped by this week for dinner. We did not make a reservation so we were given an inside table near the piano and singer, unfortunately it was very loud in that area and hard to have a conversation. Best to make a reservation and get a better seat where it is quieter.
The place is lively with the piano and singer. Most customers seemed to be having a very good time.
However, the food was average. We shared a salad, Italian sausage with peppers, veal piccata and eggplant parmigiana. And a glass of good red wine. Overall the prices were quite reasonable.

This place truely is the definition of “You Get What You Pay For”. Me, my wife and our two kids visited here on our trip to NYC from the UK. We passed in the afternoon and spoke to the waiter who kindly made us a reservation for that night. We spent in the low hundreds of dollars just enjoying the food, wine and pianist at Mimi’s. The food was utterly fantastic and you don’t mind paying the prices because the food is that good. The atmosphere is like a family home during a wine filled dinner party, it’s warm and friendly and you really don’t want to leave. The only issue I had is that the Pianist didn’t know Lady Madonna by the Beatles, but he banged out an amazing Hey Jude for us. Hope the staff didn’t mind my terrible singing voice. Highly reccomend.

The portion sizes of food & wine pours are unbeatable! It’s tasty but not top rated Italian food for NYC. The staff were friendly and provided quick service. The piano bar makes it an experience in a beautiful atmosphere! I would absolutely go back!

We were a group of 7. Initial service and seating were great – nice staff. Piano music was very nice. Unfortunately, giving 2 stars because the food took over 1 hr to arrive ( restaurant was not fully packed) and was lacking flavor. Out of 7 mains, 4 were just pasta dishes. My chicken Marsala was also a bit watery. The mozzarella sticks and calamari appetizers also tasted like it was fried from pre bought frozen – not freshly made / breaded like other neighborhood Italian restaurants. Price was average – about $20 to 25 for basic Main entrees. Would recommend for the music, but not the food.

Mimi’s is a fun, lively neighborhood spot with a buzzing atmosphere and dueling pianos – show tunes and old-school bangers that get the whole bar singing along. It’s a great mix of all ages and definitely a good time if you’re looking for entertainment.
The service wasn’t great, unfortunately, but the food was decent- nothing amazing, but not bad either. Prices are fair and portions are generous.

Spent a really lovely evening at Mimi’s, a cozy local bar with a warm, laidback vibe. The live piano gave the place a nostalgic New York charm. Calamari was crisp and satisfying. Nothing fancy, but exactly what you’d hope for at a neighborhood spot.
The real highlight of the night was Laurie, the bartender. She was warm, sharp, and had that rare ability to make everyone at the bar feel seen. Talking to her felt like catching up with an old friend. She had the whole room laughing and relaxed without even trying.
It’s places like this and people like her that make you want to come back. Mimi’s isn’t just a neighborhood bar. It’s the kind of spot that turns a random night out into something you’ll remember.

Loved Mimi’s so much! Went with a group of my friends and we were all obsessed, the strawberry and mango were favs and the boba topping was amazing! All the staff were also so lovely
