    Celebrated our anniversary. Waitress was extremely knowledgeable about menu options. Very attentive to our needs. Her suggestion was spot on. One of the best fish dishes I've eaten! Not to mention the yummy chocolate soufflé dessert. Definitely worth the drive from S. OC to dine.

    Noe was our server and he was on it. It's been a while since I have had great service like the one he provided. He recommended the Cadillac tacos that were amazing. He also recommended great drinks. Will definitely be back.

    It was our first time eating at Mama Mia's, as we were in town for a wedding the next day. We arrived for a late lunch on a Saturday, and were happy to find it wasn't too busy or loud. Mike, our server pointed out some of the more popular dishes, but we went with our old favorites. My husband chose the salmon with a side of fettuccini, and I, an individual pepperoni. My pizza had the kind of crust I like best (chewy and not too thick), the right amount of tasty sauce, and the pepperoni were flavorful without being too spicy. The sauce on the salmon was not heavy, and had just the right amount of garlic. We finished off with tiramisu, an expresso and a cappuccino. The perfect ending to a very nice meal that we enjoyed. We sure wish we lived closer so we could try all the other things on the menu we love. I chose Mama Mia's due to the fantastic YELP reviews and I am so glad I did.

    Food is great. But, the bar is lousy. There needs to a good inventory of mainstream alcoholic beverages. Also, the bar tenders need to know how to mix drinks.
