2023 Restaurant Spotlight: Mimmo La Innusa
Owner of Mimmo’s Ristorante Italiano celebrates 10 years of business
People smiling, laughing and sharing stories while gathered around tables where plates are piled high with dishes crafted from family recipes passed down for generations.
For 10 years, this has been the scene Mimmo La Innusa, owner of Mimmo’s Ristorante Italiano, never tires of.
La Innusa’s most cherished memories have always revolved around food — Sunday dinners with his grandparents in Sicily, celebrating 10 years of his restaurant’s first location over dinner with friends, and welcoming guests into his second location in Blue Mountain Beach.
“I appreciate all of the support we’ve gotten from loyal diners over these 10 years and how that same love has extended to our new location,” said La Innusa. “When I arrive at the restaurants each day, I feel proud of myself and my wife for what we have done.”
La Innusa’s wife, Meghan Hall, was highly involved and influential in the exterior and interior design of the second location.
It had been a dream of the couple’s to be able to build a restaurant from the ground up, and both enjoyed working alongside the architect to design the kitchen, dining space, pizzeria and bar they had long envisioned.
The new location is equal parts modern and Old World with a white-concrete facade and rustic warmth inside.
Once seated, you’ll experience the same menu and superior service Mimmo’s is known for.
With 10 years of business and the newest Blue Mountain Beach location steadily attracting new and loyal clientele, La Innusa has decided to invest back into his first love by revamping the original location.
The restaurant will be expanding, taking over the location next door, and will receive a design facelift.
“Time goes fast, 10 years has gone fast, but we still continue to grow and look toward what’s next in the future,” said La Innusa. “I have the best support system of customers, staff and family.”
