"As a local resident, my wife and I have noticed this restaurant for some time. Last night we finally decided to give it a try. What a great stroke of luck. This place is fantastic. The restaurant is located in Crystal Cove Newport Beach. There is ample parking and easy access. As you approach the restaurant you notice the European style outside seating, the oversized umbrellas with built-in heating for an enjoyable and relaxing evening dining experience. We made a reservation for 7:45, and when we arrived and spoke with a friendly hostesses, they had our reservation and seated us immediately. The interior of the restaurant is well appointed with a Tuscan feel. The layout of the restaurant is a bit congested as there’s a few more tables in the restaurant than one would expect. The menu is outstanding with a variety of choices to satisfy even the most distinguished pallet. We were lucky enough to have Gordon as our server, totally professional, accommodating, and knowledgeable about the various menu selections. Unlike most restaurants the wine list is extensive, and more importantly, the wine list by the glass covers every aficionado’s taste. I ordered the lasagna, which was incredibly tasty, but could have been served at a higher temperature. My wife had the seafood risotto, which lacked a bit of creativity, and was a little fishy for my taste. Overall, we would highly recommend this restaurant."

"I visited Mamma Mia for the first time two days ago, a weekday, at early dinner time, 5:30 pm. A basket of garlic and without garlic bread and two plastic tall glasses of ice water with drinking straws were brought in right away. I ordered a medium margherita pizza $30.00, about 18 inches in diameter, 6 slices, with the olive oil described in the menu on the side and two small minestrone soups $12.00 . I was told by the waitress that maybe the oil on the side couldn't be done on account of a note in italics warning patrons of no substitutions ? . Otherwise, service was fine, friendly greeting and left over packaging of pizza was done with care. The margherita was advertised in the menu as having roasted tomatoes but it came with crushed tomatoes right out of a can. Besides that little disappointment, the pizza was ok, just ok. Nothing exceptional. The soup was also good, lacking a bit of tomato sauce for my taste, but it was fine. Oil an vinegar were brought over along with the pizza. The oil was of a good quality, EVFP quality. I would advise the chef to do something to the bread rolls to make them a little softer to bite. Pizza dough cannot make a good bread roll because it is made for a thin, crunchy crust and lacks enough leavening to make a nice fluffy roll. I have a good bite, all my original teeth are still in place, but that garlic roll gave me a hard time biting into it, honest! I'm not sure how many stars to give or subtract but my experience was one of indifference, not really inviting for a second visit."
