✨Business Spotlight✨

We had the pleasure of learning more about one of Windber's most popular Italian restaurants. Owner, Pino Gallina, recently gave us a personal account of the history of Mimo's. Here's a preview:

Tell us about your business...
"Mimo’s is a locally owned restaurant that specializes in Italian food! It was founded in 1983 by my parents, Mimo and Teresa Gallina, and they handed it down to me in 2008, so I’ve grown up in the family restaurant business. We have a little bit of everything on our menu, but we are locally known for our pizza and strombolis! Many of our menu selections are made from scratch right here at the shop in Windber, and we are very proud of that. We also have an easy-to-use online ordering system, an expansive delivery area covering most of the local communities, and a beautiful outdoor seating area that showcases Miners Park across the street."
