    The dessert cookie platter gave me LIFE! The children’s menu portions are very generous. You have to get the Focaccia bread service!

    It's a cute vibrant close place The staff were very friendly and service was very good. The food was good. The gnocchi was the best of the entrees our party had. Spaghetti and meatballs were very good as well. I did not try the lasagna but looked delicious and my friend said it was very good. The bread service I could have eaten all night!

    Mama’s on Main never disappoints! The staff was incredibly accommodating and made my birthday dinner feel extra special. From the warm welcome to the attentive service throughout the evening, everything was perfect. The food, as always, was outstanding — It was the ideal place to celebrate, and I’m already looking forward to coming back!

    We love Mama's and have been many times over the last few years, but this time felt different. The service was very off, our waitress seemed standoffish and ignored us for long periods of time. The pasta as always was great, but our salad was barely dressed and we ended up not eating it. It's usually so good, so maybe an off night? Just kind of unfortunate since we usually go for special occasions and end up spending quite a bit of money. Not meaning this as a dig at all, just want to flag some inconsistencies.

    We had a little bit of everything and it was all fire. Definitely get the arancini and the short rib polenta. Cocktail menu is intriguing too!
