Daren WilliamsJuly 1, 2019Trendy indulgent Italian food. Colourful design, walls strewn with alcohol bottles. Every dish we tried was delicious - especially french toast, bufala pizza, truffle pasta, tiramisu. Big venue

Tas (✿╹◡╹)August 19, 2019Typical Big Mama setting: great pizza and pasta (supposedly with Sicilian twist), scandalous waiting line, extravagant decoration, and in the end expensive but generous portions.

HykSeptember 26, 2019I haven’t seen a restaurant as beautiful as this. Stunning! No reservations, but make sure you go 2 hours ahead of your intended time. Delicious food and do not skip the dessert! 🥰

Mallory NapolitanoJune 20, 2021Good, but not amazing. Portions are big so worth sharing and checking with your server if you’ve over/under ordered. Make sure you get the lemon pie and a branca menta for dessert.

Aylin DeyneliFebruary 18If the carpaccio had been sliced a bit thinner, it could have been much more delicious. The truffle mushroom pasta was very well done, the portions were quite large, and the wine was very delicious.

Jess TAugust 10, 2019Amazing atmosphere and incredible food. Try the virgin cocktail that comes in a mermaid tail shaped mug. The pasta had a great bite to it and the pizza had a deliciois fresh tomato sauce.UpvoteDownvote
Deema SaudMarch 11, 2020Loved the place ! It was worth the wait for 2 weeks to find reservations. Food is ok (pizza, pasta...etc) but dessert was outstanding! Go for the banofee 😍

Ierax HolargeusJanuary 26, 2022Great Italian restaurant in central London. Outstanding interior design. You have to try their carbonara, pumpkin and truffle pizzas and tiramisu. Book in advance as it’s really hard to find a table.UpvoteDownvote
Clara EloyAugust 28, 2022I’ve now tried all the big mammas in London and once again, the venue is gorgeous but the food is pretty average. Nothing mind blowing. I would say the decor and ambiance is worth a visit though

Abu Aya KDAugust 22, 2019Food is all round good but the tiramisu and lemon tart are amazingUpvote2Downvote- Gabriele GuidoniMarch 19, 2023You’ll be amazed by the walls lined with 20.000+ spirits bottles and religious knick-knacks. Mind the cheeky view between the gents’ and ladies’ loos and enjoy the 50s-60s retro songs.UpvoteDownvote

HJuly 7, 2022They serve only spaghetti pasta, no penne pasta. I personally did not like the Big Mamma Classic Carpaccio dish, service is great and you can pay your bill by scanning the code in the end

Athina TrachalakiAugust 18, 2019The starters where much better than mains. Worst spaghetti I have ever tried at a restaurant(like mold). The pizza was fine but with too much oil. Great atmosphere though.
