" We had an excellent night at Mama's! The lobster ravioli is out of this world—flavorful and rich. Our server was a star, guiding us through the menu and ensuring we were well taken care of. We couldn't resist their tiramisu for dessert, and it was worth every calorie! The only hiccup was a slight wait for our mains, but the ambiance and great company made up for it. This is definitely a place to revisit! " (*Curated Review*)

" We celebrated our ten-year anniversary at Mama's on a recent trip and couldn't have been happier! Their attention to detail is superb, making the evening feel special. The food was delicious; I especially recommend the gnocchi as I found it to be the best I’ve had! Perfectly fluffy and paired well with the light sauce. Overall, the experience was made even better by the ambiance! Will be back for sure. " (*Curated Review*)

" I recently had dinner here and was impressed by the overall experience! The ambiance felt authentic and cozy, perfect for a nice evening out. The eggplant parmesan was delicious, and the portion sizes were appropriate. My only caveat would be the drink menu—while tasty, I felt some of the cocktails were overpriced for the size. Still, the food makes up for it! " (*Curated Review*)

" Had dinner at Mama's for the first time and left very impressed! The waitstaff was attentive, and the atmosphere was inviting. Tried the gnocchi, which was delicate and flavorful. The tiramisu was the highlight for dessert—definitely recommend. However, the portion sizes were a bit smaller than I expected for the price. Still an amazing meal overall! " (*Curated Review*)

" Fantastic find! Mama's on Main has such a charming atmosphere, and the food was delicious. The chicken parmesan was a standout—very flavorful and crispy. Our server was attentive, but we did have to wait a bit longer for our table even though we made a reservation. Overall, worth the wait! " (*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*)
