"Mama Mia!"
This is a great place. My problem in getting there is that this part of Charlotte has changed so much, I...
Affordable Italian
The prices are great and the service is good. We are are fans of the lemon penne chicken.
They also offer family size dishes. We had friends in town and were able to split 3 family dishes between the 8 of us and still have left overs!
Nutella Pie? I'm in!
One of my dinner companions actually did order off of the regular menu, and chose the Canneloni Al Forno....
New Dessert Chef??
Well, we introduced a visiting couple to Mama's during CIAA week. The meal and salads were great as expected. The service was not the best as usual, but the server did have a large party in addiiton to us, so I will give her a pass. Our friends loved the food, which I ...an happy they did. We were full, yet couldn't resist ordering the bread pudding to-go ( big mistake!) Once we reached home and dug in, it did not taste all good and gooey as normal. We also did not get any gelato. The pudding had a caramel-like sauce instead of the butter sauce. Did you change chefs/ is this now how it's served??? If so, we just skip dessert. I was disappointed, but will continue to support this establishment.
The best cupcake EVER
I recently went to Mam Ricotta's for lunch with fellow colleagues...it was my first time. The bread prior to luch was OUTSTANDING. I ordered a chicken sandwhich with a salad and a gargonzla dressing (You know your at a nice place when they dont serve ranch dressing). ... My chicken sandwhich came out with no Salad...no worries because the fries in the dressing were the best ever. I asked the manager could I have desert in lieu of my salad. He told me he was brining me a cupcake...I thought okay my kids will like that. Well this cupcake never made it home. The icing was pure choclate and the cake was choclate cake filled with a white cream. This was simply a piece of heaven! I hated that I shared it with my colleagues and not kept it all to myself. This is one restaurant I will defintely go back to and save room for dessert! Thanks it was the best.
sooooo yummy
