Mama Mia's Restaurant: A Taste of Authentic Italian Cuisine in Saratoga Springs

What a great experience at Mama Mia's, a Saratoga favorite! We sat at the bar, where Arnole took excellent care of us. I was pleasantly surprised by their delicious non-alcoholic sparkling wine: excited I had the option while taking a break from wine & spirits. The steamed crab claws feature were fresh, and the Caesar salads paired perfectly with tasty garlic knots. The chicken Parmesan was fantastic, served with house-made rigatoni and amazing red sauce. Thanks for a wonderful dinner; I can’t wait to come back!

I met up with a friend here for dinner last night and I have to say, I was super impressed. She had been there several times, so I took my lead from her on ordering. We decided against appetizers, as she warned me the portions were huge. The waiter - a lovely gentleman whose name I have unfortunately forgotten - brought us delicious warm bread while I looked over the menu. There is a choice of oil for dipping or butter (the bread was good with both). Next, a tossed salad (included with the meal). I followed my friend, who recommend the balsamic dressing with blue cheese crumbles. Sooo good - highly recommend! Now, onto dinner. I had a taste of her Chicken Francese and it was perfect; lightly battered and the sauce was delicious. Definitely what I will order next time. I tried the Chicken Sorrentino, which is Chicken and eggplant topped with cheese and prosciutto. Also excellent, great flavor. And the pasta - all homemade! I had the cavatappi with homemade red sauce. The pasta was perfect and the sauce too (not too sweet or acidic). Finally, I had to try their tiramisu. It was good, right in the middle. Service was excellent; drinks refilled regularly, attentive without hovering. Nice relaxed atmosphere. And great prices considering everything is more expensive these days. I can't wait to go back!

Went there for the first time last night. I was in a party of over 25 people for a celebration of life get together. There was an error made with regard to the exact date and time of the dinner, and when we all showed up, it was a bit of a surprise for the staff. Nonetheless, they had everyone seated together within 15 minutes, when they were already packed on a Friday evening. The service and food were both top shelf. The staff made sure that everything was perfect and we were never rushed. This speaks volumes for the owners and staff of this establishment. They corrected the oversight, and carried on. If I lived in the area, it'd be my "go to" place for a meal. If you haven't been there, please try it. If you live nearby and frequent them, I'm seriously jealous. Cheers!

I recently discovered this hidden gem, and it quickly became my go-to spot for celebrating special moments. The moment you step inside, you're greeted with warm hospitality and an inviting atmosphere that makes you feel right at home. What truly sets this place apart is its authentic cuisine. I brought my in-laws who are from Italy who felt right at home! Esme and Domenic were amazing. They were hand picked for us as they both speak Italian and my in-laws only spoke Italian. Every dish we tried showcased genuine recipes that transport you straight to the heart of Italy. They never disappoint and it truly has become a favorite spot. Thank you so much!

What a phenomenal experience! As they advertise, all the pasta is fresh made on site and DELICIOUS. I got the veal parmigiana and my boyfriend got chicken francese, which were both delicious. Very very good rustic Italian food. Nothing was overpowering and everything tasted super fresh and light. Also, their table bread was the best we've ever had. Definitely worth a visit!

Phenomenal meal!! Homemade pasta is to die for! Staff is friendly and attentive even when the place is packed on a Saturday night! Will absolutely be back!! We got a pasta special with steak bites, chicken parm, limoncello cake, and cannoli. Everything was fresh and absolutely delicious!

I have never had a bad meal here - and I go often. Authentic Italian dishes - all delicious. Lots of horse racing on the TVs and a really nice bar. Service is spot on and the waitstaff is attentive, but not overly so.

We love Mama Mia’s. We are from the region and we frequent Mama Mias with family and friends when we dine out and we have them cater our dinner parties. When we dine at their restaurant, we will typically start with their gourmet Clams Oreganata and Sautéed Jumbo Shrimp as an appetizer for the table if they’re on the specials. Their pizza is fantastic here. Their entrees are all super delicious, prepared with hand-made pasta and a variety of sauces. The service by our waiter, Humberto, is always spectacular. Keep up the amazing work Mama Mia’s.
