Red flags at Da Mimmo
Red flag number one? Gordon said he didn’t believe Da Mimmo offered a true Italian vibe based on the ambiance. Then, he noticed that communication between the kitchen chef and the pizza chef was a bit off. Keep in mind that the pizza chef is Antonio Gigante, one of the brothers who runs the restaurant.
After that, Gordon tasted the food and revealed that none of it impressed him aside from the soup. From his perspective, nearly everything on the menu could’ve used some improvement.
Next, the kitchen chef opened up with her own complaints about the way the restaurant was functioning based on the low-quality products at her disposal.
Later in the episode, Gordon noticed smoke in the air in the kitchen, unwashed dishes in a messy pile, and customers being served food after waiting incredibly long periods of time.

Gordon ultimately saved the day by setting the brothers up with a lesson from a master pizza maker to teach them how to make an undeniably delicious pizza.
He also revamped the inside of the restaurant and reworked the whole menu. His significant contributions have created positive and lasting change for Da Mimmo.
