Mama's MeatballGreat ItalianThis is a small restaurant so I suggest you have reservations. They are always very busy so service can be a little slow but wait staff is never standing around always moving between tables to check on everyone. Nice wine list. The quality of the food is outstanding. We always eat here when we are in the SLO area. So glad we found this place a few years ago.6/14/2013 12:00:00 AMExcellentOutstanding. It is very consistent. We were there on Cal Polys graduation and didn't expect good service but we did get excellent personalized service.6/14/2013 12:00:00 AMwonderful foodThe food at Mama's is very good and reasonable priced. Dishes come in small and regular size. Small was plenty and the average pasta dish cost about $12-$13. The ambiance is nothing special but the food more than makes up for that.6/7/2013 12:00:00 AMI was pleasantly surprisedI was pleasantly surprised by the remodel looks very nice.

It's my favorite place to go, for either lunch or dinner. And Nicola is my favorite chef.4/24/2013 12:00:00 AMAn Italian Gem in San Luis Obispo!Veal Parmesan was excellent! My husband ordered the Calzone and it was enormous and delicious-the best ricotta cheese ever. The waitress was friendly and funny but not overly present which was perfect. Everything was great. Definitely a favorite dining experience.4/23/2013 12:00:00 AMMama's Meatball is wonderful!We had a party of 12 for lunch celebrating a wedding. They accommodated us with open arms and anything we wanted, we got. Extensive menu that is sure to please everyone in your party. There were several different dishes ordered/served and everyone was very happy with their meal. Everyone asked me how I found this place. I found it through the reviews on Open Table and Yelp. This place isn't fancy, it's comfortable and delicious! We will definitely go there again. Caution though, you don't see the restaurant from the street. There's a little driveway that takes you off the main street and then you'll see it on your right. Pay close attention to the address. Enjoy!!4/19/2013 12:00:00 AMBirthday meal was a hitWent for my birthday...food was great as always...service good...had a great time.4/18/2013 12:00:00 AMMy first time at Mama's andMy first time at Mama's and it made me wonder why it took so long!
