No :-( Kristine's review (Mar 4th 2007)

Although the atmosphere makes you feel like you’re in grandma’s kitchen in Italy, the food here is gross and overrated. After I got done with my meal, I would have been happier cooking dried spaghetti and tossing it with some Ragu.

No :-( Jon's review (Apr 11th 2007)

I felt the atmosphere was stark and bland and the food is even more so. The soup had some flavor. The salad was iceberg lettuce with a wedge of something pink in it. The dinner rolls were nice, but served with margarine, not butter. I’m pretty sure my gnocchi had been sitting in a pot of tepid water for a week, it had the consistency of baby food.

Mama Mia’s food is incredible, the staff is awesome. Just try it for yourself and see. Authentic, home made sauces, big portions, I love it.

Best meatballs in town! Try the pistachio gelato. The service is great and also have great prices!

Yes :-) Laura's review (Feb 9th 2008)

The food is very good, the prices are great, they don’t have a problem with special orders. The only thing I would change is to add some background (maybe Italian) music for ambiance. It just doesn’t have that warm feeling.

I love this place. Fresh pasta, home-made sauces. The house creamy Italian dressing for the salad is SO yummy. The prices are great, and the portions guarantee lunch for the next day. Try it!

Yes :-) Ricco 'D''s review (Oct 21st 2008)

It’s almost impossible to take my picky Italian-American family to an Italian restaurant and have everyone give it a thumbs-up. But Mama Mia did it and does it every time.

Bellissimo!

Huge portions. The food is good if you are feeling like some just alright dinner.

No :-( Retired Chef's review (Nov 7th 2008)

Mama Mia’s had the ignoble ranking of having the worst plate of Italian food ever served to us. I do not know how anyone could screw up a simple dish of spaghetti and meatballs and make it inedible. The pasts was mush – I mean so mushy it must have sat in the hot water for hours, the sauce tasted very tinny with no seasoning, like it came out of a 50 year old can that said tomato sauce. The meatball, actually more panada then meat, the end result was a grainy dry and tasteless round blob.

The portion of this slop was huge but my wife and even the young child we had with us would not eat it. I think their motto is, who cares if it’s good, we will give you a lot.

However, I must admit that I had a calzone and it was done with a cracker crust that was very good, I would eat one of those again. But when you combine the interior, think 70’s cheesy Italian/American restaurant with the checkered tablecloths, the plain dinner salad with a watery Italian dressing, a server that didn’t notice that we did not eat any of the botulism on a plate and refused a to-go box, I think we will not go back.
