Tried this Italian restaurant despite mixed, albeit high, reviews. As a critical consumer of Italian food, I was impressed by their home-made pasta, Alfredo sauce, bread, salads, coffee & desserts!!
This place is absolutely delicious. The pasta is homemade and amazing. The service is wonderful and the chef even invited us into the kitchen. Go here if you are in Portland.
In spite of what the hater Isaac said, EAT HERE! Delish garlic bread, mozzarella, and lasagna. Tasty drinks. Sunday Happy Hour is a good deal! My bride and I had a great dinner for $26 w/drinks. Yumm.
Caprese Burger was fantastic, as were the Frittes Italiano (Italian Fries). Service, however, was incredibly slow. A quick lunch with coworkers stretched to an hour and 20 min waiting for food, check.
The pennebroccoli was bland, too oily, had no other flavor and the garlic in my dish was burnt. I added chicken breast which did not enhance the dish. It came cut in pieces, was dry and overcooked.
The service was horrible! I waited several minutes for a seat, even though I was the only one in line. The waitress only gave me bread after I asked and my glass was dirty. I'll never return...
When you dine at Mama Mia Trattoria, Portland’s Italian tradition, you take a step back in time into a traditional Italian kitchen where memories come to life.
