" As someone who has traveled extensively through Italy, I can confidently say that Mama's on Main delivers a taste of authentic Italian cuisine right here in Covington. The ricotta gnocchi was perfectly al dente, and the sauce was richly flavored. Our waiter was efficient and offered solid recommendations. I expected a bit larger portion for the price of the lobster ravioli, however! But overall, great experience! " (*Curated Review*)

" Mama's is a delightful spot for Italian food lovers! I had the pleasure of enjoying a meal with my family here last week. The server greeted us warmly and was attentive throughout our meal. The chicken parmesan was delicious, crunchy on the outside and succulent on the inside. While I loved the meal, I felt the portion sizes were smaller than expected for the prices. Still, I would absolutely come back! " (*Curated Review*)

" If you need a beautiful date night spot, Mama's on Main should be at the top of your list. The ambiance is just right, and the service is impeccable. Tried the eggplant parm and was blown away by how light yet flavorful it was. Recommend saving room for dessert too! The tiramisu and panna cotta are a must! " (*Curated Review*)

" I finally treated myself to a meal at Mama's after hearing rave reviews, and let me tell you, it lived up to the hype! The eggplant parmesan was light but packed full of flavor. Service was attentive without being intrusive, creating an enjoyable dining experience. The atmosphere is perfect for a casual gathering or a romantic night out. My only feedback is that the ravioli portion felt small compared to what I expected for the price. " (*Curated Review*)

" Dined here recently and had a great experience! The food was fresh and delicious. Had the arancini for an appetizer, which was a solid start, and the gnocchi for my main course. My partner had their spaghetti and meatballs, which he loved! The atmosphere is cozy, with just the right vibe for a weeknight dinner. Will definitely return! " (*Curated Review*)

" Not often do I come across an Italian restaurant that actually takes pride in their dishes like Mama's does. The attention to detail in the preparation of their food is commendable, and the flavors are spot on. I sampled the pasta and dessert menu, and each dish tasted authentically Italian. The only recommendation I’d make is to double-check the portion sizes at times, as some dishes felt on the smaller side. Nevertheless, an enjoyable experience overall. " (*Curated Review*)

" Each time I visit Mama’s, I find something new to rave about! The service is always friendly, and the atmosphere makes you feel right at home. My favorite has to be the spaghetti and meatballs; it's like what you'd find in a neighborhood trattoria in Italy. The downside is that parking can be tricky, so plan ahead. But the food makes it all worthwhile! " (*Curated Review*)
