This continues to be my favorite restaurant in all of Boston. My date and I had the wonderfully private piccolo room (minimum required) and as always it was quite special. Our server was attentive but let us roll at our own pace. The food (venison for me and filet for her) were prepared perfectly and the wine was dead on.

The staff was amazing, from the time to of check in we were courteously greeted and were assigned a beautiful semi private table, with an amazing view of North End. Our serves were delightful, very caring and with cheerful attitude. The food was up to par, very fresh and tasty, would definitely recommend to anyone visiting North End and will go back myself if I visit Boston again.

We visit Boston annually In November and Mamma Maria is a required stop. If you visit request Tatiana as your server- she is so attentive and a beautiful young lady. We are from the south where the house wine is sweet tea and Tatiana made that happen ( with a refill). Wonderful meal with excellent food and service.

Only real problem was you couldn’t hardly see your food to eat it. Was sat at the second floor side room.. enclosed porch. Couple wall sconces out there and if you didn’t have one over your table you had to struggle to see. Not just our table at least every other one was pulling out phone turning in the flashlight to see what they were eating!! First part of enjoying a dish is visually!!

We were in Boston celebrating our anniversary and after reading several online reviews we chose Mamma Maria. Wow! Truly one of the most fabulous dining experiences we’ve ever had. From the quaint 2nd level dining room, to the attentive and professional service, to the delicious meal, everything was on point and thoroughly enjoyable. I had the lobster pasta and my husband had the haddock and we shared the grilled peaches and gorgonzola appetizer ALL were fabulous.

Overall the experience was great. The menu was varied with excellent choices. The carpaccio appetizer was excellent. as well as my main course of osso bucco. My husband's lobster ravioli had large pieces of lobster and a great flavor. The bread was excellent. The wine list was very nice but overpriced. We sat on the first floor and it became noisy. It might be better to request a table upstairs. The waitress and bus staff were excellent. It was a bit expensive even for Boston

We sat outside on a beautiful night. Our waiter Ovi was exceptional. His suggestions were spot on. We started with a sparkling rose. Appetizers grilled peaches and Gorgonzola, the sea scallops. Pasta con sugo and summertime ravioli. Finished with very tender spare ribs.we had a beautiful dining experience. We went inside for a look. It was very pretty but I think would have been very warm.
