You’re always welcome with your family, after all, no one else makes you feel quite as comfortable. The same can be said of Mimmos, South Africa’s number one Italian Family restaurant.
Mimmos accent on family stems from the fact that it has been created, nurtured and grown through family members. The restaurant chain’s special flavour and lips smacking Italian dishes have been lovingly concocted by the eponymous Mimmo Cioffi and his mother, affectionately know as Mamma Mimmo.
Mimmo was one of three friends – including Tasos Demetriades and Costa Nicolaidis – who 17 years ago, signed the ;lease to Kensington premises that would become the site of the very first Mimmos restaurant. Back then, the three couldn’t possibly imagine that their brainchild would reach its current heights. In fact their intention was to open a personalized pizzeria, rather to establish a brand.
Mimmos ambitions don’t end there. While we are already represented beyond South Africa’s borders with four outlets in Mozambique, future international expansion is a certainty, based on the strong interest in the brand. Mimmos management would like to see franchises open up throughout Africa, as well as in Europe, North America and Australia. Wherever we go in the world though, Mimmos will hold tight our ethos, maintaining our strong South African flavor. That’s because while you should always be excited about where you are headed, you must remain proud of where you come from – which Mimmos certainly is!
