"Our server, Kaycee, was incredibly friendly and offered excellent recommendations. I hadn't noticed the Seafood Ravioli special, and I'm so glad she pointed it out because it was absolutely divine. We began our meal with calamari, which was light, crispy, and bursting with flavor, complemented by a generous portion of delicious red sauce. We also tried the Sausage Chicken Capri, which is their most popular dish, and it truly was perfection. Mama D's has truly mastered their sauces! Now, about the shrimp ravioli with lobster cream sauce—it’s only available about 5 or 6 times a year, and it's so delicious that they keep a list of phone numbers to notify when it’s back on the menu! It may sound unusual for a pasta dish to have such a dedicated following, but I signed up immediately! It was unbelievable. While enjoying every bite, I felt a tinge of sympathy for those who are allergic to seafood or simply don’t eat shellfish—they’re missing out. I even considered licking the plate when I finished! Since my husband and I were sharing our dishes, Kaycee kindly offered to have the kitchen split the pastas onto separate plates for us at no extra charge, and she also packed up our leftovers at the end. Just amazing service! To top it all off, Mama D's treats you to warm mini chocolate chip cookies with the bill. What’s not to love about this place?! We found free street parking easily after 6 PM on a Friday night. We will definitely be returning and recommending it to others! Thank you for an incredible date night!"
