    The food is delicious. The service is overall good. I think my waiter was very overwhelmed and had many tables to work and unfortunately was not very attentive to ours. I would certainly give it a try again.

    Mama’s on Main is a charming Italian Eatery. We have had wonderful Italian meals and some dreadful Italian meals. Mama’s on Main was wonderful, so much so that we have an a reservation next month. Focaccia, Caesar Salad, Olives, Broccolini, Lobster Ravioli, Lamb Ragout, Tiramisu - all perfectly prepared. Service was on point. Pace of courses was perfect. All of this for a fair price.

    The dessert cookie platter gave me LIFE! The children’s menu portions are very generous. You have to get the Focaccia bread service!

    It's a cute vibrant close place The staff were very friendly and service was very good. The food was good. The gnocchi was the best of the entrees our party had. Spaghetti and meatballs were very good as well. I did not try the lasagna but looked delicious and my friend said it was very good. The bread service I could have eaten all night!

    Mama’s on Main never disappoints! The staff was incredibly accommodating and made my birthday dinner feel extra special. From the warm welcome to the attentive service throughout the evening, everything was perfect. The food, as always, was outstanding — It was the ideal place to celebrate, and I’m already looking forward to coming back!

    We love Mama's and have been many times over the last few years, but this time felt different. The service was very off, our waitress seemed standoffish and ignored us for long periods of time. The pasta as always was great, but our salad was barely dressed and we ended up not eating it. It's usually so good, so maybe an off night? Just kind of unfortunate since we usually go for special occasions and end up spending quite a bit of money. Not meaning this as a dig at all, just want to flag some inconsistencies.

    Thank you for taking the time to leave this review. We are always striving to be better and your feedback helps us do just that! It's important to us that we give consistently excellent service. I will check in with both my servers and my culinary team immediately. I hope you'll come back soon and give us another try! Hannah General Manager
