"As a very selective eater, I often struggle to find restaurants that offer suitable options for me. Given my dietary restrictions and skin issues, it's truly wonderful to discover a place where I can enjoy my meal. Additionally, they have food choices for my children, making it a great spot for families."

"Lovely interior, crisp service, delicious dishes. But you 'll have to shout at your table companions, esp if you sit along the wall (the sound bounces).Good bottle of chianti classico. The Italian margarita was very lemony and bright. My friend had a drink with campari. She liked it.The mushroom soup was exquisite. Very fresh and innovative, rich and creamy, full flavored with bits of mushrooms and a great touch of blue cheese which made a wonderful contrast of sharp flavor against the dark smoothness of the soup.The baked brie appetizer had a generous mix of nuts and fresh woodland berries and a great piece of cheese. The pastry was thin and crisp and completely ruined by being drowned in caramel sauce. It wasn 't a drizzle. It was enough for sundae. It swamped the rich warm flavor of the brie the way hyper sweet toppings on a Starbucks crushes the coffee flavor. It needed a light drizzle of some sort of berry sauce instead to keep the dish light and flavorful.The small house salad is a good size. You could throw some shrimp on it for a great lunch. Delicious mix.The lamb was a generous portion with a good mix of greens and some berries to compliment the flavor. The others had duck and a shrimp and pasta dish. I didn 't try the duck but the shrimp was big, meaty and perfectly cooked.The desserts were had were the cheesecake and the bombolini, some kind of pastry balls with ganache. I didn 't like the texture of the cheesecake; it seemed lumpy. But the lavender granite was amazing! Great texture, surprising flavor. I 'd love a whole dish of just that. The ganache was intensely rich and delicious, and the prosecco whip was scrumptious.But no espresso?! Over all, a terrific dinner."

"However, there were a couple of concerns. When we arrived around 8:30 pm, no one was at the front counter, and we waited about five minutes for assistance. While that isn't a long wait, there was an unsettling drawing on the counter that was visible to all entering customers. Additionally, the manager asked a server if he had cleaned his areas and the bathroom, to which he falsely replied yes. Unfortunately, the bathroom was dusty—I even drew a line on the towel dispenser to highlight the dust. The floor was dirty, the mirror hadn't been cleaned in ages, and there was hair in the sink. Overall, our visit was enjoyable, largely due to our excellent server. However, the presence of that drawing and the improper attention to cleanliness made the experience uncomfortable, especially given the current climate of gun violence. It’s concerning that someone had the time to create such a drawing and left it in a highly visible spot where many customers could see it."

"8•30•24 Came in tried the chicken Alfredo was delish, the chicken picante was amazing the Tiramisu is okay, reason. It is a bit to over empowered with cinnamon a bit to much cant taste the coffee flav it should have was a bit dried not moist as it should been but it was alright. But Pastas are always Great. Came here on my birthday on the 2nd of March on a Saturday, and it was fantastic. My waiter was awesome and recommended me how to prep my calamari it was so good that he added a bit of spice, but the just right kind, i will order this again. As for our main course, always a hit Angel hair Bianco, and Pollo de Carlito always on par trust me the portion looks deceiving but you will get full its very well portioned i always leave stuffed lol and food is super delish highly recommend those dishes. I have no regrets.Always love coming here to this Mama Mia restaurant. Food is always consistent, and if it keeps me like that, I'll continue to come and eat here. I really recommend that this place beats other common pizza restaurants. You won't regret the food here. I just updated recent food dishes. And a most recent pic of their Menu without glare to see prices"
