" Planned a family dinner at Mama Rao's and was thrilled with the turnout! Everything was delicious - from the wine to the dessert. Had the chicken parmesan which was so flavorful! The staff held a celebration dinner for us, making the night special. Will definitely come back for special occasions. " (*Curated Review*)

" A beautiful place, excellent service, but the food was just okay. I had the margherita pizza, and while it looked great, it lacked flavor. The ambiance is lovely, making it a perfect spot for date night despite my criticisms about the food. Perhaps I’ll stick to pasta on my next visit. " (*Curated Review*)

" Love the relaxed vibe at Mama Rao's. My friends and I enjoyed a mix of pasta and seafood dishes, all of which were delightful. The service was impeccable – attentive without being overwhelming. I remember ending the meal with a fantastic chocolate cake that was heavenly! Definitely coming back for a repeat! " (*Curated Review*)

" Had dinner at Mama Rao's with a group of friends recently; the warm bread came fresh to the table and was a nice perk! The highlight was definitely the shrimp penne; it was out of this world good. However, I found that the tables were a bit cramped together, which made it a bit hard to have a private conversation. Despite that, the service was friendly and attentive. Worth the visit for the food alone! " (*Curated Review*)

" Celebrated my mom's birthday at Mama Rao's recently and it was wonderful! They set up a beautiful table for us, and the staff went above and beyond to ensure we had a great time. We ordered various dishes from the menu; the flavors were delightful and made for a memorable evening. This place is a solid choice for anyone looking for good Italian fare. " (*Curated Review*)

" I visited Mama Rao's for a weekday dinner and found it to be quite satisfying. The service was friendly but the timing of food delivery could be improved. The sauce on my dish was tasty but felt heavy. I'd give it another chance as the flavors I tasted were promising. " (*Curated Review*)

" Couldn’t have had a better experience! Mama Rao's really knows how to treat their guests. My wife and I went there for her birthday and were extremely satisfied with the service and the food. The osso bucco was tender and the risotto was perfectly creamy. Highly recommend scheduling a visit! " (*Curated Review*)
