Food was good
Great food, good service, outdoor heated patio and reservation system were excellent. Didn't have super high expectations for a date location last minute as it seemed more like a family restaurant but we were both very impressed. I can recommend for hearty Italian.
In addition to wonderful menu choices, great food, and gracious service, we were really impressed with all the Covid protocols in place to make the dining experience safe.
The bread is absolutely amazing and the servers are always very helpful and kind. Mamma's is home.
Annie was just great. Her service was A+++
Thank you Annie!
Not their normal day, so many things not handled right overall. I’ll be specific in the private message, and just hope this was a bad day. This restaurant used to be one of my favorites. And I did frequent in 2020 also.
Excellent food and superior service!
A redeil wine glass shattered on our table! Glass went into the bread plate
my dish and all over the table! Our waitress her second day!
My friend had a full glass of wine which ended up in my dish and napkin.
The manager took off one glass of wine.
The food was great until then.
The food was delicious, the ambiance was nice, and the service was excellent! Will return!
Quite a few gluten free options. Great food and service,
Spaced apart well.
Mama Melinda's is wonderful, always has and always will be! The food and ambience is amazing. I love their cocktail hour.
Excellent service!
Great quick dinner, no fluff just simple Italian food.
The go to place in the near north end of Seattle. The food is always fantastic & the staff are pros.
Always a great night at Mama Melina’s.
Very pleasant atmosphere. Troy, our server was cool-
nice guy, attentive without over doing it. Food was good. Antipasto was tasty, but not over abundant. Pasta dishes were very good & decent portions for the $. Their happy hour is really good... but we missed that. Will return for happy hour & the very good service next time we are in the neighborhood!
Fairly priced menu and the food was exceptional. I had the most tasty perfectly light crispy sea bass. The wait staff is super attentive and accommodating. This place will continue to be one of my regular spots.
The dinners were fantastic, steelhead was delicious. All four of us were so pleased with the food, the service and the ambiance.
My ravioli was great my husband spaghetti was not what we are used too. So he was hoping more tomato sauce. Server was great and live the pictures.
It was great!
Service was impeccable and the food delicious. They were very attentive and the wait staff was knowledgeable.
EXCELLENT FOOD and love the environment! We had a very nice server.
Food and service were outstanding. So happy to be able to dine inside again. Would highly recommend and look forward to coming back when we are in town.
Great food. Great service.
We had a great dinner at this attractive neighborhood restaurant! The appetizers were sizable and delicious, and the entrees were equally as tasty. The social distancing measures are good, and they have ample outside, heated seating. Definitely recommend!!
Music can be a bit loud so people tend to yell over each other, but otherwise, the food and service are FANTASTIC.
Amazing food, service and ambience :)

Everything was amazing. Was there to celebrate a birthday and could not be happier!
Our recent dining experience at Mamma Melina was outstanding. We were disappointed with their food before but now we feel that they are back on track serving outstanding dishes like they used to. We noticed that they put Chilean Seabass back on the menu. My husband ordered it and it was outstanding. The size of the fish was huge with a generous serving of orzo pasta and lots of grilled vegetables. I ordered Melina Pizza and that was very good as well. We highly recommend Mamma Melina.
Food was good and they had a nice outdoor patio that was both warm and comfortable. Server did not seem very interested in being there.
We had 4 good meals and 1 meal that was described as ‘tasting gritty’. We did not say anything so it’s on us.
It was such a nice experience being out with family and the wait staff is so nice.
Thank you for being open and serving. We will definitely be back.
We come to Mamma Melina every other month or so and usually have a great time. However, this previous time on Tuesday 3/2, we had the worst experience we’ve ever had.
Our server greeted us by saying “Do you know what you want?” He checked back when our food came by saying “Have everything you need?” And then he never came back. We waited for 20 minutes and he still never came back. Other servers came and cleared our table, and we watched our server visit other tables but he completely ignored or forgot about us. I ended up going to the host stand to pay, and even then, he saw us do this and still never said a word or approached us.
This was the second time we've dined at Mamma Melina. Food has been consistently high quality and service levels excellent. I would highly recommend this establishment for a great night out.
I don't know what happened to Mama Melina because the quality of food declined significantly. We ordered two pasta dishes and both came with mushy and way over cooked noodle. We told the waiter to tell the chef about it but I don't know if he did talk to the chef or not. This happened during all three times we ate at the restaurant. We loved Mama Melina but after three times of bad food, I am not sure about Mama Melina.
I should not have to tell the chef how to cook the pasta every time we eat there. I only ate half the food because it was just not edible.
Very delicious food , staff was accommodating and helpful , didn’t have to wait to be seated . Overall a great experience and will return again .
Great happy hour. Wish the H/Hr bar menu included more of Cinque Terre menu. We'll go back soon.
We had a great time! Thank you Sean for
Late Valentine’s dinner. Loved everything we ordered starting with the bread, bruschetta, lasagna, spicy meatballs, rigatoni bolognese and the special ravioli. Loved every dish!!!
Nice decor
Food was good didn't have the 2 dishes we had originally wanted as we were on the non covid menu no selections of non alcoholic drinks on menu
We went here for for the first time last weekend. The service was excellent, food was delicious, the ambiance was nice. We will definitely return.
