Everytime we go to Niagara Falls, we go to Mama's for dinner. The service is a little slow and the sauce could use a little more flavour, but worth every penny. Authentic food at its best. Almost as good as my Italian Mom's. Is priced right for the large portions, have had trouble finishing everything.
Best time to go is early evening to avoid the crowds. We always go around 6 and usually have a minimal wait. See you in the spring for our semi-annual visit!!!

Food was plain tasting, cook did not prepare food to my request for making it spicy also had maybe 8 baby clams in entire linguini. Food & cheap wine was overpriced and not that good. Service was terrible, when waitress "finally" asked if everything was ok (at the end of the meal) I told her my complaints, she offered no apology and just walked away. The air conditioning was so poor, we were hotter than our meal. I felt like I got ripped off.
$100 for 3 plates of pasta - no salad either - just pasta & 2 glasses of house brand wine - hello?
I've told Italian family members about my experience, they were appalled. This restaurant is obviously not up to traditional Italian standards.

It was the best little italian restaurant, my husband and I visit every anniversary in March.

My husband and I wanted to go out for a romantic dinner, and we heard that Mama mia's was excellent. The food was absolutely DISGUSTING due to how nasty and salty the red pasta sauce was, and how watery, the alfredo sauce was...there was no taste in the alfredo sauce...no cheese, nothing creamy, just basically noodles floating in water. We ended up not paying for the meal due to the fact that it was impossible to try and eat these meals. The funny thing is...we seen 2 other tables send their pasta with red sauce back, because of the saltiness, and one of those tables sent both plates back and left. The good thing is...the service was great, our waitress was very understanding, and she didn't seem surprised.

We visited on a busy Labor Day weekend and this was one of the few places that there was not a line outside! The waitress was very pleasant and our drinks order was great! The food on the other hand was not great.
The Carbonara was a real disappointment - the cream sauce had separated leaving blobs of milk solids on the rather thick and starchy pasta and the bottom of the dish was swimming in oil from the separation. 
The garlic bread was the same bread offered free except it had been lightly spread with garlic butter and very lightly toasted- the bread was too light a consistency to capture the garlic flavor. The chicken Cacciatore fell short of my husband's expectations - the sauce was overly sweet and quite runny.

Excellent Food, great Atmosphere, always have dinner here when we are in town, the service is excellent, and the food is out of this world.

The service was ridiculously slow. A few drinks were delivered, but several of our party had to remind the waitress twice to bring the rest of our drinks. The pasta was bland, and took a very long time to be prepared. The special of the day (spaghetti with meatballs) turned out to be a little spaghetti with one meatball. When my husband asked for more meat with his dish, he was told that one meatball is what he gets. When our bills eventually arrived, after we voiced our complaints to the waitress, they had the nerve to tack on an automatic 15% tip for the inept wait staff.
Don't waste your money at this place.

The food was amazing, best lasagna i've ever had! We will bring our family again for sure, the server was very friendly and took care of us. try this place!

Not worth your time or money. Says home cooked meals, taste like a TV dinner with canned pasta sauce. Also, the wait staff made us feel like we were wasting their time. Everything as a whole was just plain AWFUL!!

The spaghetti is very good, is differ from what I ever had before. Overall, I enjoy my dinner.
