Mingo

Rustic Italian cuisine in a quaint, bustling neighborhood. Try the ever-so-popular penne al sugo di carne, a pasta dish tossed with beef braised in Chianti and espresso. Try the wine dinner events... If there is one event which we at MiNGO have really thrown ourselves into it’s the WineMaker Dinner.  Michael Cronan and Michael Tocchini have cultivated many relationships with winemakers over the years, both with Italians in Italy and with local winemakers here in the Willamette Valley. These dinners are the result of those relationships and we feel fortunate to present them to our customers on a regular basis.  We host 12-15 each year and usually stage them in our private dining room.  We have, however, taken over the entire restaurant and brought in a baby grand piano for one visiting Italian: he is a classically trained pianist.   Recently we’ve taken to celebrating summer with the dinners outside on the piazza.  Not only are the food and wines fantastic, but the experience of interacting with the winemaker, and your fellow guests, combine to make for truly unforgettable evenings.
