I believe in something as well, I believe Mr Moto pizza is the best late night pizza spot in Little Italy and it's frankly not close. Ben once again delivered an experience so memorable that the Aztecs should've wrote about it in their stone calendars. Is it dramatic to say that one $6 slice can change your life ? Cause this one did. For once it felt like life stood still. Like rather than being in my day to day routine, I was in the Amalfi Coast ready to have the adventure of a lifetime. Thank you Mr Moto, I believe in you as much as you believed in me and now I feel like I can fly like Peter Pan.

Ambiance was nice, has a casual authentic Italian feel to it. -We ordered bruschetta and it was one of the best I've ever had! Bread was warm. Pretty strong garlic. -Wife and I shared spaghetti and meatballs--very, very good sauce! Meatballs were good : ) -For dessert we tried the pistachio cannoli--and it was a fitting end to a satisfying meal. Highly recommended!!

You could really taste how fresh everything was. The crust was soft and airy with the perfect crunch, and the combination of the melty cheese and spicy salami was incredible. It had just the right amount of heat and was wonderfully cheesy. We were seated right away, and the staff was friendly and welcoming. If you're looking for fresh, authentic pizza, this place is definitely worth a visit!

The wait time for the pizzas was also way too long. The pizzas were still tasty though. - the desserts are delicious - had the tiramisu, panna cotta, and pistachio gelato. They all came out separately which isn't ideal since people typically want to enjoy all their desserts together. - was automatically charged for the 6+ group gratuity even though it we only had 5 people. would've tipped 20% anyway but found this to be sneaky... - had a 4% additional charge for "rising operating costs" - a terrible business practice that is becoming all too common

We were given waters very quickly. But then nothing for a long time. The server did show up and seemed as if we had bothered him in some way. But okay we will be polite and chalk it up to bad day. We order and then that is the last we see of him. I ordered linguine with clams, mussels, and shrimp while it was delicious I was not offered a plate or bowl for the shells. My partner was not offered cheese for his pasta. The manager was mulling about the host stand and looked right at us several times after I had finished my cocktail with no acknowledgement or offer for me to order another drink. So while the food was good the service defiantly left something to be desired. I will say that the server for the table next to us (Melanie/Melody?) seemed lovely and happy to be at work with her table.

This time we arrived early and we were in time for happy hour, which is truly an excellent deal. They have a number of pasta dishes at half price and some nice beer and cocktail specials. The happy hour ends at 5:30 on weekdays I believe. My daughter enjoyed the cheese whale pasta, which is her very favorite. My wife had fettuccine Parmesan, which was an ice cream sauce and I had the penne Ragu. Everything was good and we enjoyed the evening. It looks like they've expanded the seating to include some outdoor street side tables. On a warm evening this was very nice to have breeze from the water.

It was a Friday evening and every restaurant on the street was full and vibrant. You could Yelp these places all day long and it would be hard to choose. There's so many great restaurants around Little Italy. Mimmo's reached out and called us in. There were pretty white tablecloths, the hostess was smiling ready to answer any questions and of course, the menu looked wonderful. Voilà! We'd found our spot. Our waiter was so personable and had all the answers to our inquiries. He suggested items and even answered honestly when needed. I got a Le Pécora Nera Sangria (fizzy blackberry with lemon). Tasty, but too many blackberry seeds coming up the straw. I'd get another one next time. For the appetizers: RISOTTO ARANCINI (a MUST get) - these were absolutely delicious. Four good size bread crumbed fried balls of risotto sitting in the restaurant's own tomato gravy. HOMEMADE FOCACCIA WITH DIPPING OIL (yes, that's the official name) - this is a basket of super soft, warm focaccia bread for a great price. I would get it no matter what main course you're getting! It soaks up every sauce and it's just delicious. MAIN: BAKED LASAGNA (meat) - with the two appetizers this is the perfect size for both of us. No need to get one per person! It was absolutely wonderful. I would get it again. All in all, I'd definitely go back. The food was absolutely delicious and flavorful and the employees we came in contact with were great as well. We didn't want to sit at a table right next to the hundreds of people walking by, I don't like that, but there are plenty other options one row in or inside the restaurant. A solid recommendation on my part.
