“ Lovely place with a great atmosphere. The waiters were very friendly, attentive, and made us feel welcome. The service was fast and the overall experience was really enjoyable. Would definitely come back again! ”
“ 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 ”
“ 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. ”
“ 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. ”
