Having eaten at Caffe Mingo over the years, I am impressed the food quality has remained vibrant. From the moment you enter the staff is every vigilant to your needs. We decided to try a multi-course offering which the staff graciously split each serving into two small portions. The Sugo of beef as well as the Spring halibut was scrumptious.... More

In the 'alphabet district' which makes for a delightful pre or post dinner walk. The restaurant owner was very charming when we showed up without a reservation - he set us up at the adjacent bar and ensured we were comfortable until a table opened. The food was delicious; I had a taste of the lamb meatballs: I don't like... More

Mingo is one of my favorite Italian restaurants in PDX The food is always spot on delicious. You can expect consistency in every dish. Out of this world great service. Only drawback is that the restaurant is small and sometimes there is a wait. They don't take reservations for small parties so be warned. This is one of my top... More
