For dessert, classics such as tiramisu or panna cotta are good bets. Seasonally changing dishes can include a braised whole artichoke with roasted garlic aïoli seared albacore tuna salad with kohlrabi, radish, cucumber slaw and tarragon oil or a caprese salad with mozzarella. You can't miss with whatever house-made pasta is on the weekly lineup. Penne al sugo de carne (fork-tender beef in an espresso tomato sauce) has been available forever, and deservedly so, as has the crab with lemon cream sauce.
Start with the bread served with rich, flavorful olive oil before choosing the beet salad with goat cheese or the understated Caesar. The setting is casual in the main restaurant with a scattering of tables and a counter overlooking a bustling open kitchen. Happily, Bar Mingo absorbs the waiting crowd and it’s a fine place to sip a cocktail, or you may just enjoy the limited array of small plates.
The owners understand the key to Italian cooking is fresh ingredients, simply prepared. People wait up to two hours on the weekends to eat here, and for good reasons. The menu changes weekly, but the staff has stayed the same for years. But it is the kind of thing that brings down the quality of an experience, and is why this was not rated higher.In an industry marked by constant change, Caffe Mingo's quality Italian cooking remains consistent. Just an unfortunate exchange between two people. Well, actually, due to hand tremors, that solution would be fairly dangerous to me I didn't mention that, he moved on to asking about switching to a coffee cup, I agreed, and all was well.Īgain, no harm was intended. I mentioned this to the waiter who again became defensive and told me that the glass was entirely able to withstand the heat (not what I was concerned about!) and that I should hold the glass by the stem. The thin wine glass was far too hot for me to hold the hot coffee. I thought he was bringing me another glass of wine until I saw the steam and realized what it was. I have never had this drink served this way before- always in a coffee cup, with the amaretto added or on the side- so I was confused. He brought it quickly, but in a wine glass. I know he meant well, and O felt sorry about the unfortunate exchange.Īfter the meal I asked for a coffee with amaretto. I tried to back him out of this as gently as I could, but he seemed defensive. Maybe it was because they weren't very busy, but I felt like the waiter was hovering over us too much. Because we were earlier than most diners- Sunday matinee theater ended at 4PM- there wasn't much of a crowd and the service was quite prompt.

Servings were generous and tasty, wine menu also was quite adequate and the pours were generous enough. Chris & Dave’s Townhouse Bar & Grill, Mingo Junction, Ohio. Prices were not beyond what we would expect, and going at Happy Hour on Sunday lowered our cost even more. My wife and I travel by public transportation and by foot, so parking is no issue for us. The location is good, although parking is probably awful. Lots of very positive things to say about Bar Mingo.
