    Ellie was an awesome waitress! The entire team was engaging and attentive. Food was delicious - we had 5 different dishes and would order them all again. Cocktails, desserts, and ambience were all on point. Thank you for a wonderful place to enjoy family time and birthday celebrations!

    Did not rush us. Steve was our server and was and attentive. Portions just right - maybe a bit large. Comfy chairs and just a good atmosphere.

    We love Mama’s. However, last night they mixed up two of the four meals. My husband took two bites and realized it was eggplant parm instead of chicken. He called the waitress and she realized she gave our friend his chicken…… which was half eaten at that point. Should he have noticed? Yes, probably but it is a parm covered in cheese. She made no offer to make my husband another or take it off the bill. It was her error and should have been rectified. Who wants to eat off a friend’s plate?!? YOU brought the wrong meal. Fix it.

    This is a wonderful restaurant with excellent food and atmosphere. The staff was incredibly friendly and on top of things. As an older person it can be difficult to hear in some places but not at all here. Well worth a try, people!

    We had a wonderful dinner at Mama's on Main! Jessie was our server and she was so welcoming and hospitable! Our dinner was absolutely delicious! Our little girl enjoyed the children's spaghetti and meatball paired with the crispy potatoes. They initially came out with the salsa verde seasoning which was a tad too spicy for our 7 year old. Jessie and Chef were so kind and immediately whipped up the crispy potatoes sans salsa verde and she crushed them! Chef's kiss! My husband and I had the marinated olives, meatballs and chicken parm. OMG it was all soooo good! We devoured it all, it was just perfectly done and the portions were perfect! He enjoyed a manhattan as well! And for the finale, we had the Italian cookies. They are out of this world. We can't get enough of these cookies! Thankfully there are 6 total so they are perfect for sharing! The ambience and service are always so outstanding here. It's truly one of our fave places in Covington. A family favorite!!!

    We ate on the heated rooftop which was lovely and romantic. The service was great and the food was fantastic. We celebrated my birthday there and they brought us a birthday dessert which was super kind.
