I have always enjoyed cafe mingo. The food is wonderful and the small and intimate atmosphere is charming. The owner and host can sometimes be quite snobby, but overall, the experience is very nice. I also love the addition of Bar Mingo next door. It is a great place to grab a drink and relax with wonderful small plate food. Overall I would have to say that dining at Mingo is very nice and Bar Mingo is great too, and serves its purpose quite well. Cafe Mingo could definitely work on its pasta, there is better pasta in Portland, and for an Italian cafe, that would seem key, but the overall menu and items are great. I say go and enjoy.
Pros: Intimate, Charmin
Cons: A touch snobby and rude
