Mamma Mia's
Mamma Mia's is a great choice for Italian food in Southeastern Massachusetts. There are 5 different locations; we dined at the Carver location. It doesn't look like much from the outside - being a small building in a strip mall. However, we were all very pleased with the food and service.
Food
The food was excellent. Everyone in our party absolutely loved their dishes, ranging from lasagna, baked ziti, pasta primavera, and chicken broccoli pizza. Servings are very large, so we all had leftovers for lunch the next day. Bread is provided, but salads are not included. We split a large salad as a table (the house salad was delicious).
We don't usually order dessert, but decided to test one out as they all looked very tempting. Our table split an ice cream/brownie dish and wow was it humongous! Biggest dessert I have ever seen and super affordable as well!
Prices were appropriate for an Italian restaurant ($10-15 for most pasta dishes). You are basically getting 2 for 1 though as the servings are so large.
Service
Our waitress was friendly and enthusiastic. She engaged in plenty of small talk with our table, which added to the friendly atmosphere. I always walk out of a restaurant feeling happier when the service is exceptional.
Atmosphere
Mamma Mia's dining room offers a casual feel, almost like you are having a family dinner at home. The decor inside is nice (love the sea glass wine glasses). The dining area is a bit small and sectioned off a bit strange into separate rooms, however, the cozy atmosphere was inviting.
Final Remarks
I am happy that we decided to try out Mamma Mia's in Carver. We are a big fan of Italian food, and this is definitely the best we have had in the area. Pasta dishes were excellent, service was friendly, and the atmosphere was just right.
Update: We have visited Mamma Mia's again on several occasions. The food and service continue to be top notch.
