Mama’s Little Italy was awesome last night! I had made reservations for a group of us crazy women. They were great at acepting the reservation even changing it a couple times! We got there and the table was all set up and we had baskets of warm buttery garlic rolls with sauce waiting for us! We were starving after a great afternoon at the play at Pocket Theater so we devoured them! Meghan was our waitress and she did an excellent job! I knew I was taking some home to my Hubby who has allergies, so she ran back to check ingredients for me. She was prompt and got our orders correct! Great job, Meghan! Our food was amazing! We all got something different and everyone enjoyed their meals and got plenty to eat!!! I can’t wait to dig into our leftover pizza! I know we definitely will be going here again!

Great meal. Four of us shared the stuffed pizza with side salads. The pizza lives up to its description and I think it is bigger than 16". We only made it through 4 slices. The salad and complementary garlic knots knocked us off our game. Garlic knots are uncommonly ultra tender; ask for extra marinara. I wish to go back and try all their different dishes. Everything looks and smells delicious. Service was very good. Ask for Olivia.

Great food. Large portions, freshly baked bread. Drive thru window for easy to go orders. Awesome staff

Waiter was very nice and attentive. The food was delicious. Only complaint was it took forever to get our food. A large party got their order in before us and we waited at 50 mins to get our dinner. If in the area again, would eat here again.

At the recommendation of my coworkers, I took the family to Mama's. I am always nervous about trying a place the first time. We went in for an early dinner so the place was nearly empty. We were greeted immediately by a smiling, friendly hostess who seated us. Drinks and appetizers came quickly - appetizer sampler; it was hot, fresh and very good. The rolls with marinara were amazing. They were hot, buttery, garlicy and delicious. We did wait a little longer than usual at other restaurants for the entrees to come out but OMG the food was worth the wait!! Even my picky eaters had no complaints. The portions were huge and the prices were good. This may have been our first visit but it certainly won't be our last.

I love being able to leave positive reviews about restaurants but writing this one brings me a lot of joy. After months of listening to the ravings of my coworkers, I took the family to try Mama's for an early dinner. We were greeted and seated by a smiling, friendly hostess. I got a little nervous that the place was empty of other patrons but sat down with an open mind and an empty stomach. Our waitress, Stef, took our drink and appetizer order and brought us some bread. The menu calls them rolls but these aren't the typical square brown and serve kind from a package. These little darlings were something straight out of heaven. Imagine if a bagel, croissant and yeast roll had a baby that was bathed in the best garlic butter on earth. The basket of rolls came with a cup of homemade marinara. I could have made a meal on just the rolls alone. The appetizer sampler: Fried ravioli, mozzarella sticks, french fries and fried calamari. It was obvious that nothing came frozen out of a bag. Holy cow even the french fries were really good. The entrees took some time to come out. A bit longer than is normal for a sit down restaurant but I promise that it was so worth the wait! Veal parm for me, chicken parm sub for daughter, italian pasta combo for son, sausage with onion and peppers for hubby. We all tried bites of each other's meals and it was all amazing. The portions were VERY generous and it was all delicious! The only complaints that were made is that they couldn't finish the meal. We ALL had to have to-go boxes for the left overs. I can't wait to go back and try something else.

The food here is absolutely incredible! The portions were huge and the flavor is astronomical! Our server Stephanie was so sweet and took the best care of us! I will definitely be returning and recommending this restaurant to anyone who wants a great Italian food experience!

Stephanie was clearly busy, yet communicated and was an amazing server! The food was beyond delicious!! This was our first time dining here, but definitely not our last! I couldn't eat all of what I ordered, so I had the left over for dinner and omg it was still delicious!! I had the cheese steak sub and fries- hands down the best I've had in several years!! Thank you Stephanie for your hospitality! We will see you soon!!

First I'll say this is 4 1/2 Stars, I like fresh minced garlic, what I received was from the jar. The server was very good, the food was vey good. I'll have to try other items on the menu.
