Da Mimmo is still open after Kitchen Nightmares
The good news is Da Mimmo is still open today. At least for now, but there is still the issue of the debts hanging over the establishment.

The owners reached out to Gordon for assistance in making necessary changes for the success of Da Mimmo due to their massive debt. It’s been revealed they’re in debt by almost half a million dollars.
Who owns the restaurant?
One of the most interesting details about Da Mimmo is that it’s run by three brothers. The Gigante brothers are TikTok influencers who care about their social media presence just as much as they care about the success of their restaurant.
In total, these brothers have 3 million followers keeping up with their daily activities. Food blogging has always been popular on social media platforms like Instagram, YouTube, and TikTok. These brothers have capitalized on that.
Vincent Gigante, Antonio Gigante, and Vito Gigante are the brothers in charge of running this brick oven pizzeria. Their mother, Melissa, is also heavily involved as an owner of the business.
Before getting involved in the restaurant industry with her sons, Melissa served as a police lieutenant in Hoboken for 26 years.
