NEEDS SO MUCH HELP!!!

by francescoburns at Citysearch

I WORKED FOR MMMA'S & I CAN PERSONALLY SAY, HAVING WORK AROUND THE WORLD THE FOOD IS O.K. BUT THE OWNER IS SELFISH & HAS NO IDEA AS TO WHAT SHE'S DOING. I WAS A PASTRY CHEF BROUGHT IN TO HELP THIS BUSNESS WHICH IS TO LATE FOR HELP. THE CHEF STAYS WITH HER OUT OF SIMPATHY. THE FOOD IS OVER PRICE BECAUSE SHE'S $3,000,000.00 IN THE WHOLE. THE DESSERTS I DID I BROUGHT STARIGHT FROM ITALY AND THERE STILL WAS NO APPRECIATION FOR WHAT I DID. THEY ALSO DON'T APPRECIATE THEY'RE CUSTOMERS. THE DESSERT COME FROM SIMMA'S BAKER WHICH ARE STILL LOW QUALITY. YOU WOULD BE BETTER OFF TAKING THE TIME TO GO TO CHICAGO FOR A FIVE STAR MEAL.

• Pros: GREAT HEARTED CHEF
• Cons: ONE OF THE OLDEST & WORST OWNER IN THE BUSINESS

Went to Mimma's Café again – party of six – had an excellent table, waiter was very polite and really did not bother us too much, we had the table for two+ hours with no complaints from the waiter and we were able to have conversation without having him up in our bznz. Or pushing us to leave; he was great! Gave him a $60.00 tip! Food again was excellent – took my folks there for the first time and they really enjoyed the atmosphere. It is a great place for family or a romantic evening for two; I again totally recommend this café!!

• Pros: Service, Food and Atmosphere

Overpriced and over rated

I went to Mimma's with four other friends and the owner took us to the back area of the restaurant and pointed to our table and said that is where you sit. We walked ourselves BACK to our table which was on the far end of the room...she didn't!

My fellow dinners ordered wine and when it arrived the glasses were barely an inch full! The waiter was given way too much area to cover along with large groups of people. He forgot requests for refills and there was quite a wait between our appetizers and the main course.

The menu is impressive as it is written but the food is not. I have had better at other area establishments. Dessert was nothing to rave about either.

For five people with a couple of drinks and dessert our bill came to over $300.00 with tip. I have spent less money for better quality at Eddie Martini's in Wauwatosa.

That was my first and last trip to Mimma's.

• Pros: east side location
• Cons: under staffed
