We felt very under dressed for this restaurant but, you wouldn't know it based on how we were treated. We were kindly greeted at the door and offered a table right away. We opted to sit at the bar because we were in a hurry wanted to place a to-go order for a pizza. Our bartender was very kind and accommodating, He answered all of our questions and made recommendations. All of the pizza offerings looked fantastic. We settled on the Calzone Genovese, even though this was a calzone there was no problem making it into a pizza. The wood fire pizza oven was in the center of the restaurant, so we were able to watch them make our pizza. It had ricotta cheese, mushrooms, pesto, and caramelized onions. It was very good and a nice change from a pizza with classic red sauce. The pizza crust had a good amount of char on the bottom with just the right amount of thickness. I would recommend Mimmo's to anyone and will definitely return if I am ever back in Destin.

We had been wanting to try Mimmo's for a long time. Destin is a bit away from us. It was packed, I…read moresuggest reservations, especially in the weekend. Even though it was packed, service was great, though there were long in between. We ordered; House bread and oil (free) - 5 stars, this was so delicious. Garlic knots - 2 stars, basic garlic knots. We liked the house bread better Gnocchi with lobster- 5 stars, absolutely delicious. I was nervous about the lobster. But it was cooked perfectly in the dish. Gnocchi melted in your mouth. Loved this Pasta lobster dish - 5 stars, also absolutely delicious. Perfect cook on the lobster, house made pasta, just wonderful. Tiramisu - 3 stars, it was delicious, only complaint was the lady fingers were not soaked in coffee. And they placed chocolate syrup on it, not sure why. Bread pudding - 2 stars, it's not traditional bread pudding. It came out in slice of cake form. The ratio to Carmel bourbon syrup was way off. It was more apple spice cake than bread pudding in my opinion. We would definitely go back for the pasta and house bread, while skipping apps and desserts. We would recommend this place for pasta!

La Famiglia is family owned, so the food is authentic! Our breakfast at Crackings and dinner here were the BEST meals we had during our 5 days in Destin! Our waitress was great! We had a slow start b/c I think they were short on help, but it was worth the wait! They made you feel like family. It is not big, so you may have to reserve a spot on busy nights. It's not very fancy, but you can dress up if you like. The restaurant is clean. Our food was cooked to perfection! We had to blow b/c it came it hot! It was definitely like eating an Italian meal at home! We will visit again.

We ordered eggplant Parmesan but they accidentally brought lasagna, they corrected it but the chef came out and apologized. We weren't angry or anything, they are just folks who care about their customers. The dipping oil is delicious and for sale by the bottle. I did notice the dipping oil we took home had a little more kick than the one we had at the restaurant. Just so you know if you buy some. The pizza and eggplant Parmesan was delicious. We will visit again but next time we will bring the rest of the family.

We were greeted at the door with a smile and courteous professionalism even though the restaurant was teeming with people. The hostess found us an ideal spot at the windows, a busboy greeted us immediately as he filled our glasses. and within two minutes, a towering woman with a beaming smile was over to hand out menus and make suggestions from the wine menu and inform us of the specials. When we ordered, the kitchen was out of my top choice, but the waitress suggested an alternative that turned out to be incredibly delicious and not something I would normally consider. All around the table, everyone was commenting on how extraordinarily well-prepared the food was---fresh, not overly-spiced, and just the right portions. I've seen other reviewers on this site concerned about the prices. I simply don't get it. Considering the quality of the food, how perfectly cooked it was. the generous portions, and the first-rate service, we felt far more than satisfied. Which of course, is exactly why we went back!!

Absolutely loved the whole experience. I threw a piece of bread to a turtle and watched him hold it with his little turtle hands and eat it which maybe I wasn't supposed to do but oh well.
