Terrible food and terrible service. It took them like 20 min to even check in on us once seated even though the restaurant was empty. The food was very bad and I left most of it on my plate. The worst was the ceaser salad which was just lettuce with dressing - no cheese or croutons or anything

We weren't too impressed with the food. The calamari was big but overcooked and rubbery. The ravioli was ok but bland. My mom had the eggplant and she barely ate any of it. The ceaser salad was also pretty tasteless. You could taste a hint of flavor in the dressing but the excess water diluted it. The food wasn't inedible, just not the authentic Italian flavor we were hoping for.

I joined two friends for Sunday brunch at Mama Mia. Each staff member was nicer than the next. There’s a beautiful familial sense amongst them. The food was solid. We had Eggs Benedict and a frittata, the $24.99 special, which includes a cocktail (GREAT Bloody Mary!), along with coffee, tea or soda. We had tickets to a 3p Broadway matinee. Mama Mia was perfect!

I have lost track of how many times I have visited Mama Mia. Each time I feel like I am treated like family, having met and talked with Mama Mia herself and treated to the story of how the restaurant came to be. On this occasion I was saddened to learn of her passing. Every time I visit I eat the Mama Mia mussels, organic garden salad, and tiramisu, all washed down with a nice glass of Pinot Noir (or two). Cin cin!

They were very accommodating in all matters. We were late due to train delays and were still seated upon arrival. They factored in our showtime while taking the order. We had the Penne with shrimp and Fettuccine with chicken. Both were amazing and fresh. The drunks are just right were you taste the alcohol but not overwhelming. The cheese cake was great. Better than most places we've had The price is fair. Around $100 for 2ppl is good.

Offers a reasonably priced lunch, although you can order from the dinner menu as well. The food is mostly prepared to order so you may have to wait a while, but it is worth the wait. Some dinner dishes are close to $40 but that seems to be the usual cost in this neighborhood now.

Food great. Disappointing that the prices displayed on Open Table are clearly miles out of date - about 30% more now - plus they add local tax on top, not included. Also a compulsory 20% gratuity added. I have no issue paying a good tip, but it felt disappointing to be hit with a triple whammy of costs added at bill stage. Wouldn’t go again for this reason alone

The food was good. Unfortunately, the service was very hit and miss. We ordered appetizers and weren’t brought bread as all the other tables around us received. We had to Remind the wait staff we wanted the drinks we ordered. Once we finished them, the empty glasses were never moved from the table throughout the meal. Water was replenished consistently.

I come here every time I'm in NYC and it absolutely my favorite restaurant! The food was amazing as always. We did have a few issues: 1. The soda was nothing but syrup and when we told the waiter, he said well it all comes out of a soda gun. 2. After he took our drinks away, we never saw him again. We had to ask someone else for our check.

Upon entry we were greeted immediately and serviced well. Mist have been short staffed as waiter took a long time before coming to the table for initial greet and water service. He was delayed a bit much, but otherwise excellent food— flavorful, made fresh and reasonable portions. Later we were attended by others and not original waiter and that delayed receiving the bill and completing our day. But these minor service concerns were totally not equal to the excellent food and overall experience.

Unfortunately we made the mistake of selecting this restaurant as our special night out. We haven’t been to NYC in years and this menu and reviews sent us here. The meatballs were barely edible - there were two in the app and we could not finish them. Our chicken dishes were just OK.. as in I could’ve done better at home. We left hungry and upset that we spent that much money on a meal so unfulfilling. I know the pandemic has affected a lot of restaurants but this food was subpar by far.

My family of 4 thought our meals were good. Portions were just right. I had pasta with chicken and spinach. The chicken was a little hard. Eggplant parmigiana was good. Husband had shrimp with vegetables. Portion was on the smaller side, but he had bites from the other meals. Restaurant was clean and servers were very friendly and attentive. Liked the decor and noise level. Overall it was a good experience.
