This is authentic southern Italian cuisine and most of the menu items are excellent, though we have had an occasional disappointment with one dish or another over the years. From the delicious house salad and soups to the varied entrees to the outstanding desserts, the food is almost always very good to outstanding. Service is excellent for small parties but uneven for larger parties. It's a little pricey, which is why we don't eat there as often as we'd like, but it's a great treat from time to time.

Mino's isn't a place for your typical wisconsinite. It's an authentic place, however, with old family paintings in a italian styled old house. You can often see the owner (Mino) in the place so that's nice. If you order pasta, you'll get a good helping, but if you order meat or fish don't expect much. The first time we went I got a bit sick (maybe I wasn't used to all the oils used). The second time we took my father out and he was asked directly about how the fish was, and he said "you forgot half of it". It's meant to be a bit more of a classy place so noisey, young children are not suggested. Expect to spend at least $20 per person, unless you get salad and a water.

A favorite Italian food of mine is linguine with clams. When I lived in Wausau, I ate at Carmelo’s on a regular basis, and always had linguine and clams. It was my favorite dish for many, many years. I moved to Phoenix about 12 years ago, and have be ...

I grew up in Wausau and can't even count how many times my family ate at Carmelo's. Everytime the food has been amazing along with the staff. Once you become a regular they greet you with your name and a smile. I have now moved away to Minneapolis. ...
