    very disappointed with this dining experience, waited over an hour for our food to arrive and the service was very slow , they told us it was because there was a new chef in the back but not only was the service slow , the food was mediocre . we ordered a chicken parmesan and a margherita pizza , the chicken parm was bland and had no flavor or salt and we were scraping the tomato sauce just to have something to taste , and the margherita pizza tasted watery and had a "frozen" food smell to it and while i'm sure it was made in house , the food was just not appetizing in the slightest .

    Waiter was off. Waited what seemed like a long time for appetizer order. Had to remind another wait staff. Pasta overcooked with salmon plus drenched with sauce. Disappointing but restaurant was packed, suppose due to proximity of theatres.

    Unfortunately, the table we were given was right by the food and it was so cold that our party of four had to wear our winter coats throughout the meal. We asked for a better table but none was available. The restaurant was so noisy that we had to shout to heat each other. The food was mediocre. The baked clams were just clams with some dry bread crumbs on top and not very flavorful. The sauce for the veal Francese was tasty but the veal was overdone and tough. My Fellini Bellini cocktail was good and probably the best part of the meal. The service was decent and the hostess was quite apologetic about giving us a table right by the door so we were blasted with cold air whenever anyone entered or left. The restaurant is family friendly and was able to accommodate special requests from our grandchildren. While I am unlikely to return, the prices were fairly reasonable and if we’d had a better table, and the restaurant had been less noisy, our experience would have been a lot better.

    I've been going to Mama Mia for years. Very convenient for pre theatre. The food has always been good as is the service. I will be going back.
