I would like to say that you will not find a better Italian restaurant within a 100 mile radius. The best part is its a family restaurant that is warm and welcoming. I’ve been at every restaurant in the area and by far this is my new favorite!

Meatballs to die for. Attentive and friendly staff. Check out the blowfish lamp at the bar.

Ok, so here it is. Hands down best local Italian restaurant. Fresh salad and bread sticks, house dressing… You absolutely can not go wrong. From the hand made noodles and sauces, to the always changing speciality entrees. My favorite was the crab ravioli with lobster sauce. Better than any sea food plate you would be from red lobster. I just left with every order of the pumpkin bread pudding they had. I’m sorry, its just too good. But you should try to get in there and get a piece if they make any more, and I don’t find out and buy it all again. Happy eating, tell them Sean D. sent you

The food here was delicious, service was excellent, and atmosphere was wonderful. What more could you ask for? I ordered the whitefish which normally I don’t care for fish in restaurants but the description sounded amazing so I gave it a shot. It was decadent. Served over mashed potatoes with a white sauce. The presentation of the food was similar to a high end fancy restaurant. We also tried their calamari for an appetizer and holy cow was it good! Also my meal came with salad and the Caesar salad was very fresh. The portions are huge. Everyone had to get boxes. I think this is great because you truly get your money’s worth. We will definitely be back here!!!

Fantastic! I went with my work team for a Christmas lunch & now I’m hooked! I love their salad, especially the dressing. To die for!!! Every pasta meal is great as well! The staff is very nice and friendly. A coworker and I ordered food and picked it up for lunch — we got back and they forgot the lasagna. We went back and they gave us it nice and hot with a tiramisu as an «apology dessert!» Another time I went for a co-ops birthday, our waitress overheard me saying it was her birthday & brought out ice cream with a birthday candle! It was wonderful! Thanks for being awesome, Mama Mia’s.

Place has been there forever Wife and I finally stopped in a month ago. Enjoyed the food. Had the chicken Parm and enjoyed the meal and the spaghetti sauce was done right not to tart and had flavor. Prices are moderate and affordable. Def would go back.

My family has been coming here for over thirty years. It’s family owned third generation Italian cooking and I love it. Shame on me for taking so long to review it, we haven’t been in a while. I ordered an amaretto sour, delicious and well deserved after a long days work in the yard. My dad ordered the spaghetti and meatballs, the meatballs were just the right texture and not a bunch of breadcrumbs. Boyfriend ordered the meat lovers pizza, the crust was perfect and there was plenty of toppings. I had the«Tour of Italy» which gives you a nice portion of meat ravioli, fettuccine alfredo, and lasagna, plus a salad. In fact, we all had salads. The breadsticks are addicting. Be warned you will devour them in the blink of an eye, and possibly fight over the last one. Then we had dessert, tiramisu for me and cannolis for the boys. I don’t get here often but the food is just amazing every time. Service is excellent too, quick and attentive, and so warm and friendly. We had a lot of leftovers which she neatly boxed for us. I ate mine the next day cold and it was still tasty!

The pizza here was excellent! Cheesy and saucy, with fresh tasting crust. I ordered a large pepperoni & cheese pizza and a small antipasto salad with Italian dressing. The dressing for the salad was a little watery, but overall it wasn’t a bad meal(just a little pricey for pizza and salad) Next time I’ll try the pasta :-)

Seated quickly. Nice waitress fast attentive service. I had the veal scallopine in Marsala sauce, upgraded to Caesar salad, and garlic mashed potatoes. Salad was ok. It has a lot of dressing but I found it to be bland. The veal came as two small slices against a mound of potatoes and was covered in a red blush sauce. There were 2 mushrooms and again this red blush sauce which was yummy but it didn’t look like Marsala sauce that I’ve had a hundred times over. I was to hungry to inquire and it was tasty. $ 16 not sure I got the right dish. Hubs had one of their specials. It was yummy too. Can’t remember what it was

My girlfriend and I moved in the sub division right across the street from Mama Mia about 4 months ago and we were hungry for pizza but sick of the chain delivery places so I remembered enjoying the pizzeria style pizza my mom and dad intoduced me to when I was a kid over 20 years ago so we decided to order a large ham and pepperoni, and now it’s a every Friday night staple in our house. My 4 year old say«it’s the yummiest pizza, dad ». The carry out orders are always done n a timely fashion and the pie is always hot when I get home and ready to eat. We also enjoyed the beef ravioli we had on super bowl Sunday, my only complaint would be the chicken as I felt it tasted like chicken from a Chinese restaurant. All in all the family members that greet me at the door are kind and always full of laughs. Love this joint !

Wonderful place. Great service! Delicious food. I could eat their calamari everyday! They also make very good pizza. We have taken a group here on a Friday night and everyone was super happy!

Eat here if you like tasty Italian comfort food and great beer. This place has been around for a long time and appears to be family run. The pizza is tasty, but I’d recommend steering clear of the veal Marsala. We’ve also had the lasagna(excellent) and some chicken pasta special which was solid. The beer list is unexpected(apparently the bar manager is a total michigan beer geek) and amazing. Some of our favorite dates are pizza and delicious beer here. If you’re in the area it’s totally worth a stop.

Been working in the area and a few of my co-workers and I have gotten pizza from here twice so far. It was absolutely amazing, loaded toppings that were fresh, and just the right amount of sauce. Would recommend this place to anyone passing through.

I visit once a month; for a car club meeting. They have terrific banquet room for groups of 30-~150, perhaps more. Plenty of parking adjacent to the banquet room. I’m giving them 5-stars for their ability to handle large groups without any fussing. The kitchen and waitstaff does an excellent job of getting the food out promptly & correctly. They are even willing to tally separate checks for large groups. Amazing! This is not fine dining; but it is very, very good dining experience The food is very good. The menu is varied and has many selections. I like the Spicy Italian sausage with linguine. It is nicely spice’d and an excellent choice if you are not in the mood for red sauce. Great salads. The portions are generous for the price. WiFi available.

This is by far the best Italian food this side of Italy. I came here tonight with my wife and kids. We were greeted as soon as we walked In and seated right away. Our waitress who waited on us today always treats us like family. I had my usual chicken florentine and my wife had chicken and broccoli. Both came out perfect. My little guy had the ribs. I tried a bite maybe even 2 it was tender and cooked perfectly. Junior had fried chicken. It came with soup and salad. I had the blue cheese dressing which I’m told the make in house. It was awesome. Oh and how could I forget the bread sticks?! They are the best around. After we finished our server told us they wanted to buy Us dessert. If you haven’t had some of paulies cheesecake then you must go just to try that itself. I Got engaged here in there banquet hall back in September of 2000 and I have been hooked ever since.
