Editorial Review for Mama Mia Trattoria – by Rachel Bellacera
In Short
Comforting cuisine is served in this homey restaurant with deep plum-colored walls, white tablecloths and sparkly chandeliers. Candlelit tables are small and cozy, and generously portioned dishes, great for passing around, make it an ideal destination for groups. The menu includes fried zucchini with a zesty tomato sauce, daily lasagna, and manicotti--handmade crepes filled with ricotta, mozzarella and Parmesan cheeses. The densely creamy and delicious tiramisu is some of the best in town.

Ok.. so we walked in and immediately were WOWed by the beautiful chandielers and red & gold theme through out. We were greeted by an attentive host who took us to a candle lit table by the window. After perusing thru the extensive menu we finally narrowed down our choices. Our server helped us make the right ones. I had the Veal Piccatta, my friend had the Sunday Gravy.. wow! It was delicious. Oh wait, i forgot to mention the Caprese salad, it was home made mozzarella with a killer balsamic reduction. We also share the Fried Ravioli. So back to the Gravy and Picatta.. the sauce was so buttery and the veal melted in my mouth. I recommend getting the sauteed spinach too.. yummo! The wine list was very reasonably priced with a great selection. We had the Tantrum, it was a blend of Pinot Noir and something else. Went great with the food, (oh our server also recommened this one.) Then onto dessert.. all I can say is HOLY CANNOLI. If you have ever been to NY, then this will take you back. All in all, I had a great time. The service was attentive, informative and fun. The food was just the same. I hear they own Mother's Bistro also, so I will be sure to try that next.
Pros: service, food and everything else.
Cons: not open for lunch..

Wow! What a great place! I moved to Portland from New York some years back and have been searching for this kind of food since I got here. Had their home made mozzarella and it melted in my mouth. And their chicken parmesan was the best I ever had. I can see the issue with tables -- it's a big room, so there's not really a quiet corner, but our server was great even on a busy Friday night. I would definitely go back...maybe even tomorrow!
Pros: Delicious food from my home town
Cons: tables are close together
