Service and food were great. Handicap accessibility was greatly appreciated. Price points were reasonable. The oysters were huge. The pasta sugo was very good. Our server told us it was spicy but could be adjusted. The duck two ways was fantastic. They gave us pana cotta as we were celebrating the anniversary of our first date 40 yrs ago. Thanks

From start to finish, our experience at Mamma Maria was exceptional. Upon arrival, we were greeted by the hostess who checked us in right away and was very professional. We were then offered to check our coats in the downstairs closet and then escorted upstairs to the dining room. The dining room as a whole resembles that of a family dining room in a home. It was an intimate and quaint setting, which stands out amongst other restaurants in the North End. From the moment we sat down to when we departed, the service was exceptional. We ordered a bottle of sparkling water, a bottle of Barolo, the Caprese Salad, Pasta Con Sugo, Venison Three Ways, and the Tiramisu. All these dishes were exceptional, but the Venison Three Ways was the star of the show. It was one of the better dishes I have ever had, absolutely delicious. Our waiter was very instrumental in assisting with our navigation of the menu as he was kind, insightful, and articulated the styles of each dish exceptionally well. This is a restaurant that we will plan to visit again in the future as it was exceptional and a pleasant experience.
