Business Summary  what's this?
For four star Italian, try Mingo in Beaverton. This is a great place. Know before you go: this place features outdoor dining. Upon entering the restaurant, you'll find a casual atmosphere. This restaurant is inexpensive. This place is good for groups.
Started in March 2004 by Michaels Cronan and Tocchini, the overwhelming spirit of Mingo is enjoyment. From the simple representation of local, sustainably produced food to the cohesiveness of a staff which obviously knows how to do it's job extremely well and have fun at the same time. We want to enjoy ourselves while doing our job helping you have the best experience you can here at MiNGO because we care about food, wine and you.

This is okay Italian. I haven't had anything on the menu yet that wowed me. The prices seem a little bit high. This restaurant only has evening hours. The place is clean and service is very good.
