Mamma Maria

We had a good experience at Mamma Mia. Their rabbit pasta was a standout for me and I think the food arrived quickly considering how it was packed on a Friday evening. If you’re looking for a quiet, romantic dinner though, I find that the tables are set very close to each other so it can get quite loud.

Amazing food!! Impeccable service, everyone from hostess to the bus boy. Must mention Yvonne, Dulcet and Raluca for their special attention. Beautiful place. Overall great place for pasta. I apologize but i didnt get the name of the dishes because we dove right into them. My favorite was the one with creamy white sauce, topped with truffles.

I lived in Boston in the early 2000's and I used to come to Mama Maria's on dates with my now husband! It was surreal to come back and eat here, and this time we brought our kids. This restaurant used to be so tiny inside and their tables were so close together, but it was still amazing food and excellent service so we kept coming back. Now- they have tables set up outside in North square! It was the perfect way to bring our family to dine here without feeling bad about kids in a small intimate inside area. The food was amazing as ever, service was impeccable - they didn't make us feel bad for the kids, and we were able to enjoy ourselves. Kids were able to get any pasta with sauce if their choice. The squash ravioli with mushrooms was melt in your mouth! My husband got the Cornish game hen that was fall off the bone and popping with flavor! They brought over a blueberry pannacotta for me for a birthday dessert. I don't ever order this, but it was silky and Delicious. Such an amazing night!

Second time here, I love this place. Fine dining on the North End, lovely seasonal menu changes regularly. Superb food, service and wines. Emer and Rafael our professional servers looked after us wonderfully, in splendid romantic decor with amazing dishes. Try the lamb three ways or the angry seafood pasta - you won’t be disappointed!

Beautiful, relaxing ambiance with tons of outdoor seating. The menu changes to mirror the seasons. All of the food that we ordered was fresh and well prepared, but the stand outs were the Polpette as an appetizer and the Lamb Three Ways as a main course. Service is short but timely. Overall would recommend, but isn’t incredible.

This place exceeded my expectations. The food was amazing, home made and better than anything I’ve had in a while. Raluca was our waitress and she was phenomal. So sweet, and had great recommendations. The tuna tartare was by far the best I’ve ever had, along with the truffle pasta I ordered. I would come back to Boston JUST to come back to this place 10/10

I researched a lot of the Italian restaurants before coming to the North end. Mamma Maria’s made the short list. We were able to get a table for two and I’m glad we did. It’s located off the busy street which is a big relief. They have a large outdoor patio and a very cute cozy inside. The service was great, friendly and attentive. Their menu changes daily but we stuck with the classics. We had the beet salad, stuffed squash flowers, and the meatballs for a starter. Everything was delicious. The squash flowers I wouldn’t order again the breading was a little soft, but the filling inside more than made up for it. The beet salad was fresh and the goat cheese accented it well. The meatballs came with a chunky sauce and cooked nicely. They provide warm bread and pesto as a starter too which was amazing. Dinner we had the pasta con sugo which was their meat ragù with egg pepperoncini tagliatelle which was everything you’d want with this comfort dish. Highly recommend trying this place out.
