About Mama Mia Trattoria

  • Delicious Italian Food
  • Homemade Mozzarella Daily
  • Handmade Pastas

Our food is delicious Italian American soul food, like that offered at many restaurants in the Little Italies of New York, Philadelphia & Boston. Our focus is on the dishes made by southern Italian immigrants who adapted the food of their \nmotherland to the available ingredients in their new American homeland. The heart and soul of our cooking is homey, honest, unpretentious, and homemade. Robust food served without frills or fuss. Everything is made from scratch, in our kitchen, using the best possible ingredients. Our veal is free-range & naturally fed, and we use local products whenever possible. Even our mozzarella is made fresh daily, and guaranteed to be the best you've ever tasted. We are committed to simple food, perfectly cooked and expertly served by people who genuinely care about your dining experience. Buon Appetito!  View Less View More

Authentic as it gets. Great authentic Italian food. I spent a year abroad in Italy and after coming home, I haven't found anything that compares to the Italian food from Italy, except for Mama Mia. The portions are huge like Italy, and the sauce and pasta, all has an authentic taste to them. Mama Mia does Italian food the way it is supposed to be done.  View Less View More

Excellent Happy Hour. I came in for happy hour because I work down the street and I was pleasantly surprised by their happy hour menu and prices. Everything on the Happy Hour menu was $3 with the purchase of a drink. For under $10 (without tip) I was able to get a beer, calamari, and manicotti. The portion of the calamari and manicotti was not at all what I expected for $3. They were very filling portions and I found myself not eating dater till later that night. The bar is a great place to just sit back and relax after work and catch the days game while traffic dies down. Mama Mia is definitely going to be my happy hour spot after work.  View Less View More

Portland's Best Italian Restaurant. Simply wonderful. I always have a craving for Italian food and I have tried nearly all of them in the Portland area and none are better then Mama Mia. I don't even bother going to other Italian restaurants because Mama Mia is that good.

The food is the most authentic that I have found. Not to mention the staff is AWESOME! They are very friendly and know exactly how to help me decide on what to eat. The prices are very fair and the portions you get will definitely fill you up.  View Less

Great Italian lunch for a great price!!!. I am so happy that Mama Mia is now open for lunch. I work in the downtown area so it is a real treat to have such great Italian food for lunch. The new lunch menu is very extensive and well priced. It was hard to choose because everything look so great. The service as usual was remarkable and very personable. The new owner came by my table to ensure I was enjoying everything, which showed me the staff cares very much about their customers.

I ordered the Prosciutto Caprese Panini and it was absolutely delicious. The ciabatta bread and basil aioli complemented the prosciutto perfectly.

I highly recommend Mama Mia for lunch. You certainly will not be disappointed.  View Less

Momma Mia's is our new favorite restaurant!. We chose Momma Mia's for a birthday dinner. What a great choice! My daughter said it was the best lasagna she has ever eaten, including in Europe, and that the flavors just popped in her mouth. The eggplant parmagiana was equally wonderful. Our waiter, Danny, was absolutely awesome, and the rest of the staff was very attentive too. Can't wait to go back.  View Less View More
