Each room of the old house serves as a dining room. You may dine in one of the old bedrooms or in the old kitchen. Mama's has won many awards for both its food and its romantic ambiance. We have something for everyone in your party. We serve your traditional Italian entrees as well as many seafood and steak options.

I really believe that this may be the best restaurant in town. Sitting outside on the patio enjoying wonderful food and drinks, and exceptional service for a reasonable price, makes this place shine above the rest. The mussels are fabulous!

Great food and service as always. Angel hair pasta is light as air. The new Bomba dessert was awesome. I also took the ricotta cake home for a 2nd dessert, the cake is just the right amount of sweetness. Wish I could eat here weekly.
