Reviews for Mamma Santa's in Cleveland, OH
First off, this is only my third review ever posted. I don't like to complain (my other reviews for other businesses were... 5-star), but my hope is that the owners will make the necessary changes to serve excellent food again according to the reviewsfrom years ago. Growing up in an Italian community and family myself, I was excited to visit Little Italy and dive in to somegreat pizza and pasta. Well, that didn't happen. We ordered a pizza along with a fettuccine dish and it was the worst I had evertried (and I'll eat anything). I couldn't finish what little servings I took, even after having to fast for a medical procedure.Gross, bordering inedible unless you want to choke it down. I was embarrassed for them. Needless to say, I was still hungry whenI left. The cheapest frozen pizza at your local grocery store is amazing compared to what they served, so save your money. Theonly positive comment I can make about the business- our waitress was great. Read more
Great experience! Wonderfully good, great prices, excellent service! Make sure you get the homemade noodles for your pasta!
My family got salad and two pizzas. The pizza was mediocre. Both had a hard crust and slightly burnt cheese. The salad we got... had tons of cheese but a very small amount of the ?Italian meats.? The oil in the dressing tasted of conola, or some type ofneutral oil. I couldn?t finish the portion of salad. Unfortunately, this will not be worthy of another try. Read more
They are always wonderful. Even when there is a wait the servers are professional and efficient. The food is out of this world.... Pasta, bread or pizza you cannot go wrong. It's all delicious. I highly recommend this plane for reasonably priced, family ownedItalian food. Read more
Absolutely delicious! We're a family of six and my kids are big pasta fans. (Plus they have an Argentine abuela, so they know... good pasta when they eat it. ???? ) The food here was great! I especially loved the cannelloni. You can tell it's freshlymade. And I was shocked at how quickly they were able to sit our group, even on a busy Saturday evening. Our server was bothefficient and gracious. Lovely experience! Read more
I looked through all the Italian restaurant reviews on google maps to find a place that had stellar reviews for their pizza and... stumbled upon this restaurant. I?m not local and great pizza in my area is hard to come by, so I?m always on the hunt for someamazing pizza. I ordered a large pepperoni pizza by phone and had about a 30 minute wait, which was fine as we were in transitordering food to try at another restaurant. The parking at this location was pretty limited and the street parking was filled aswell as their back parking lot (it only had about 4-5 parking spaces). Our pizza was ready around the time they said it would beso we were able to get in and out quickly. The pizza was hot and met my expectations for freshness. The sauce was flavorfulwith seasoning and tasted homemade. The ratio of toppings to dough was good, but extra cheese on the pizza would have been moremy style. The crust was thin and had a nice crunch to it, but not an over cooked crunch. I can?t really explain the crustcrunch, but I liked it. Overall the pizza was good and I enjoyed it. It wasn?t the best pizza I?ve experienced but by farexceeds other establishments. If I was in the area again, I might not stop here again and only for the sheer fact that my goalin life is to try all the different pizzas I can. I would recommend others to try the pizza here. We didn?t order anything elseso I can?t comment on the food options, but I did like the price point of their large pizza, just a bit over $12 for a 1topping. Read more
Pizza! You must try the pizza. Very flavorful and everything is fresh. I also got the veal sandwich which was very tasty. They... do veal the right way although it is served on bread and not a sub sandwich. They have small, very small parking lot behind therestaurant. You may have to walk to find a parking spot but that will just let you explore the neighborhood and check out theother places nearby. Read more
I ordered a chicken entree, cut up chicken with sauted vegetables. The chicken was burnt, inedible, and vegetables consisted of... onions. I told the server and she said that I should have ordered something else. No offer to provide something else. Uponleaving, I told manager and he did not charge me for the disastrous chicken. Meanwhile, I left hungry. Read more
