    Consistently good food and service. The restaurant is a bit loud, but still worth the experience.

    Food is consistently good, with fair to even generous portions. Service was friendly and attentive. Drinks like the mocktails are on the expensive side. The only thing that is frustrating, in my opinion, is that they add a 3% charge for the cost of food as an extra rather than incorporating it into the listed price for each item. Just be honest and transparent, and don't add it as a "gotcha" charge that you're too sheepish to show in the listed price of an entree. I really hate this duplicitous practice.

    We had the most wonderful graduation dinner for our daughter at Mamma Melina's! They were able to seat us at a very quiet corner table as requested for a hearing impaired member of our group. The food and service were fantastic - especially the gluten free menu options and kitchen prep for a family member with Celiac! Mamma Melina's has become a go-to when visiting UW.

    The food was good. We've eaten here before. Our server was professional. The problem to me that impacted the overall impression is that the had too few servers. Ours said that he was servicing 11 tables including a 15-top. We asked if someone called in sick, and he said no, that that's the staff number that they keep it at. We hardly saw the server. He was pleased with this arrangement, because it meant that he would get more tips. Right. Good for him. Not good for customers. dProbably won't be going back anytime soon.

    It was superb! I brought some people who have traveled to Italy a number of times. They commented the food was authentic, well prepared and presented. A great experience!
