Great local spot. Seemed like a great family spot and good for dates and drinks with friends, based on the crowd I saw. Fast fresh food, super attentive staff. The decor is a little cheesy, only real downfall I noticed.

Mamma Mia’s Italian restaurant offered a delightful blend of elegance and coziness, all wrapped in a simple yet inviting ambiance. The warm, dim lighting and soft Italian music in the background created a relaxed and welcoming atmosphere, perfect for an intimate dining experience. Our waitress was exceptional—attentive, prompt, and genuinely friendly, ensuring our meal went smoothly from start to finish. For my meal, I opted for the summer salad, a refreshing medley of crisp greens, juicy tomatoes, and a light vinaigrette that quickly became my favorite dish of the night. My wife chose the garlic bread, which arrived golden and buttery, reminiscent of hearty Texas toast, and a supreme pizza topped with an abundance of fresh ingredients that filled the air with a tantalizing aroma. While we stuck to classic menu items this time, I’m eager to return and explore more adventurous dishes to see if Mamma Mia’s truly captures the essence of authentic Italian cuisine.

My husband brought me here because I wanted chicken Alfredo and this place did not disappoint! Our food was so flavorful, fresh, the service was very kind and welcoming. A gentleman even brought out more sauce for my husbands lasagna "so he can swim in it" 🤣🤣👏🏽 We will definitely return to try more dishes, the good music was definitelya factor as well. Thank you for a wonderful experience and for a new place to eat.

What I thought of as a hole in a wall restaurant turned out to be a nice Italian restaurant that definitely hit my taste buds with every dish. My son picky as he is loved the calzone and the Chicken Marsala I ordered was plate licking good. Definitely will visit again at leisure as this one was a visit when I was trying to grab a quick bite.

Calamari, fettuccine alfredo, and lasagna! Everything was fantastic :) the only thing I didn’t enjoy as much was the lack of flavor in my fettuccine, but that could be adjusted with a little more salt and chili flakes.

Great experience and delicious food. Ww arrived right when they opened at 11am. The wait staff were friendly and a cup of water came quickly to the table. It was to early for drinks but they had good drinks selections and a full bar. The food was hot and we enjoyed every dish. Definitely would visit this place again.

Oh, Mamma Mia! Where do I even begin? Nestled in the heart of Riverside, this charming little gem whisked my husband and me away on a culinary adventure that was nothing short of amore at first bite. As we stepped through the doors, we were greeted by the warm aroma of freshly baked bread and the cheerful hum of Italian tunes, setting the stage for an evening of delightful indulgence. The ambiance was like a cozy Italian hug, complete with twinkling fairy lights and rustic decor that made us feel right at home. Our taste buds were serenaded by a symphony of flavors, starting with the Caesar salad, which was fresh and crisp, perfectly setting the tone for our meal. We also enjoyed the bone-in chicken wings, which were perfectly seasoned and cooked to perfection, offering a delightful crunch with every bite. For the main event, we indulged in the Bolognese and Chicken Alfredo. The Bolognese was rich and hearty, making every forkful a delight, while the Chicken Alfredo was creamy and satisfying, crafted with love and a sprinkle of magic. But the pièce de résistance was the tiramisu – a sweet, dreamy concoction that transported us straight to dessert heaven. It was the perfect ending to a meal that felt like a love letter to Italian cuisine. Mamma Mia is more than just a restaurant; it's a delightful escape, a place where laughter and love fill the air, and every meal is a celebration. If you're ever in Riverside, do yourself a favor and let Mamma Mia sweep you off your feet. Buon appetito!
