Found out about this place by driving by & came for lunch. Their menu is primarily Italian with some Japanese inflections here & there. They have a full kitchen, a good cocktail & wine list, & serve coffee to go as well.

Whenever a new Italian restaurant opens, I like to order carbonara pasta to test their cuisine. It's a simple dish, but one that's shockingly easy to mess up if some small details are sidestepped. Turns out, minnibar's is one of the best I've had. The bucatini is al dente, the egg slurry perfectly creamy & yolky, the guanciale crispy, & the pecorino perfectly judged with freshly cracked pepper to boot. Everything is exactly where it should be, & I highly recommend it.

The waiter was extremely nice & attentive & I felt well cared for (though I should note the restaurant was almost empty when I visited); he explained they opened less than a week ago & are still adjusting their cocktails & some of their menu. The Creamsicle cocktail was tasty & definitely reminded me of its namesake. Surprisingly, it was quite spirit forward; my kind of cocktail, but tastes will differ & some may prefer something sweeter.

I had a very moist carrot cake with white chocolate for dessert (very good, freshly made in their kitchen) & an americano to go which was smooth with no off-notes & no acidic notes. Lastly, the spot is cute with a nice minimalist/modern decor; it's well-located within the Finale apartment building. There's a direct street entrance on Mansfield. I'll definitely be returning.
