    Though highly recommended we were a bit disappointing. The service was outstanding and the ambiance in the dining room was excellent if a bit overcrowded. The menu changes daily bur is quite eclectic. My wife is not an adventuresome diner so there was little for her to choose. She did order the pasta with a wonderful ragu sauce. I had the venison gnocchi which was outstanding. I was disappointed with the bison rib-eye steak which was surprisingly fatty and the garlicky greens and sun-choke puree were not to my taste. The portions were generous and made for great salad additions the following day. We will be back in Boston in October and will try again.

    As a frequent visitor to the North End, I was excited to try Mamma Maria, especially for a farewell dinner before moving out of state. Sadly, the experience didn’t live up to expectations, and I wish I had chosen another spot for such a meaningful occasion. We were seated 25 minutes past our 7 PM reservation, which we were understanding about, but the delays continued—no greeting for 15 minutes after being seated, and another 10 minutes for water after we asked. After bringing it to the host’s attention, we were reseated, which was appreciated, but no apology was offered. Our new server, Anderson, was fantastic—attentive, gracious, and tried to turn things around. Unfortunately, we could still see our former server whispering with a colleague while looking over at our table, which felt unprofessional and disrespectful. We were given complimentary dessert, which was a kind gesture, but the lack of any apology or acknowledgement from management was surprising. To top it off, when I got home, I realized the takeout bag I was given contained someone else’s leftovers. At a restaurant with Mamma Maria’s reputation, you expect not perfection, but pride in service and accountability when things go wrong. That was unfortunately missing here.

    We love Mama Maria’s, have never had a bad meal here, the vibes make it feel like you are in Europe. Food is delicious, extensive European fine list. Excellent tiramisu.

    Every reservation at Momma Maria’s is special. Valet parking available in the tight north end streets. The service was amazing. The pace was perfect, and the food is by far my favorite Italian selection in Boston in my opinion. Highly recommend trying the carpaccio and duck or one of their pastas. The veal osso bucco is out of this world for the main.
