    It was wonderful!!! As a gluten free person, I felt so cared for and excited for the meal. Our waitress was so kind and personable. We came to celebrate a friends birthday and had a lovely time.

    Absolutely fell in love with Mama’s! Such a quaint, cute little restaurant. It definitely gives homey feels you imagine you’d be at your Italian grandmother‘s house. I went on a Saturday on a double date. They also fell in love with a restaurant, not only was the atmosphere fantastic felt very energetic, but the food was out of this world. We got the rigatoni with grilled chicken, the calamari, the lemon pasta. I love that one the most and of course, for dessert I had to get an affogato with hazelnut gelato my goodness what a way to end the meal. Could not recommend this place more. Cincinnati had some really good eats. I probably wouldn’t visit again because it’s insanely cold and I felt like there wasn’t much to do in Ohio but if I did ever go back, I’d for sure make sure to go to Mama’s

    I just found everything very mid. I love Italian restaurants, but felt like the food was honestly something I could have thrown together quickly for dinner myself at home.

    We love going to Mama's. The food is consistently good and so is the service. I don't mind it, but it's pretty loud in the restaurant, fyi.

    Again, Mama's did not disappoint. From the moment we were graciously greeted despite being 15 minutes late (did not account for rush hour traffic), to our awesome server, Dakota, and the atmosphere on the heated porch, everything exceeded expectations. But, the food, was definitely the star of the evening. Started off with the bread service followed by Eggplant parmesan, pesto gnocchi with sides of fingerling potatoes and broccolini. I will be craving everything until I return again. Thank you Mama's for not compromising quality at an affordable price!!

    Super impressed by our dining experience this evening.  There brand was fluid and stylish. Staff, service chill and competent. Decor. cozy, and rich and cool, contemporary and relevant. Vintage. The food. Easy choices, quality over quantity, intentional. Oh the bar light fixtures! That is (not) all. Loved!

    Wow! I want to start with the wait staff, it was an import day for me and the wait staff was able to tell and treated me and my table with so much kindness! The food was amazing and everything I had was top quality. The setting was fun and conversation was easily had. Great location! I will go back for sure.
