In the old world, in a little village near Bologna, lived the real ‘Mamma Luisa’ who cooked and inspired the next generation of family and friends to recreate in Newport the same authentic taste and atmosphere of northern Italian cuisine.

Our four cozy dining rooms situated a quaint old house make it ideal for romantic dinners & small to medium size parties.

The menu features a variety of authentic Italian dishes like antipasti, bruschetta & salads; typical pasta dishes like Bolognese, Carbonara, Ravioli, and the homemade gnocchi as well as Eggplant Parmigiana and Frutti di Mare.
Selected fresh meat, fish & seafood complete our menu with signature dishes of veal, pork, steak, sole & tuna.
Finish dinner with a cappuccino, espresso or tiramisu.

At Mamma Luisa’s we also offer a full vegetarian page together with vegan and gluten-free options.

Our extensive wine &beer list will transport you to the different regions of Italy and you will find also handpicked gems from around the world

    The food and service were excellent! I had the butternut soup it was delish. Our main courses were veal stuffed with spinach and cheese absolutely wonderful. Spinach and roasted potato side’s were very tasty -great. The other main course was the filet of sole. It was 5 star. Our server Nicole was outstanding. Extremely attentive had a through understanding of menu and specials. Overall a wonderful Christmas Eve dinner. We passed on dessert as we were totally stuffed from dinner.
