What People Are Saying About Mama Mia Trattoria

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.

Totally Over-rated
by SE Reid
This place is one of the most over rated restaurants in Portland. The owner, Lisa Schroder, must have a great public relations person, cause this place sure does get a lot of undeserved attention.
There are sooooo many better Italian restaurants, don't waste your time with this one.
- Pros: Wish I could think of one
- Cons: Food, service

Best Service EVER!

Our waitress was one of the best I have ever had in Portland. I think her name was Stephanie. She was energetic, fun, had perfect recommendations and made our dining experience memorable and fun! The food was incredible, very flavorful and great proportions!
- Pros: Service, Food
- Cons: none

Rude workers
by 125022
We went there recently for my mom's birthday. This one waitress who was not serving us walked by our table continually with the worst expression on her face and glared at us several times. Our waiter commented: Did you enjoy your appetizers? My mom replied: "Oh yes, the bread was wonderful". The waiter then said: "No, I meant your drinks".
If they don't want to serve alcohol, then don't serve it. That goes for many restaurants in Portland: What is WITH this city and drinking? So many people here get so hot and bothered/and or offended when people order drinks. We also noticed that while we were eating, several workers were standing at the bar looking right at us and talking - probably gossiping. It reminded all of us of a high school cafeteria and why you never choose to eat inside of one.
Needless to say, we will not be back.
- Pros: Fantastic food
- Cons: As good as the food is, it is ruined by the service
