Reviews for Mama Stortini's Restaurant & Bar in Kent, WA

My husband and I went here for a date night and really enjoyed ourselves. We were seated quickly, mind you it's Monday night.... The server was friendly and the food was delicious. We got the crispy zucchini for an appetizer, then Papa's original lasagnaand Chicken Adriatica for dinner and tiramisu for dessert. It was so tasty. Would recommend it if you want some American Italianfood. Read more

The restaurant is typical Italian restaurant. The list of drinks on the menu is quite extensive ranging from wines to hard... liquor. The atmosphere is friendly and welcoming. The booths are quite spacious. The only downside I noticed is the mainentrance doors. They are very heavy and not handicap friendly. I had to hold two doors back to back for two senior ladies. Oneof them had a walker so needed a door that can stay open. It was a challenge to handle keeping the two gates openedsimultaneously. The food was delicious and worth the price. My guests also enjoyed their meals as they didn't leave anything intheir plates. I think the price is reasonable since we paid less than $160 for five people, drinks included Read more

Atmosphere, service, menu & food was terrific, even though they were really busy for a Sunday evening. I was sorta surprised... there was no bread service that came with the meal? Is that common now with Italian restaurants or is this the exception? Read more

We had the Lemon Chicken and Rigatoni Bolognese. The lemon chicken was very moist but I feel there was a bit too much lemon and... salt. It overpowered the chicken and linguine. The rigatoni bolognese had too much ground pepper. It made it spicy and a bitgritty. The sauce texture and flavour was good besides the over peppering. Read more

We came here after talking to some folks at the Seattle Wedding Expo while looking for vendors. We ordered the seasonal ravioli... and the meatball appetizer, along with some Silver City Tropic Haze IPAs. The two of us got sat in kind of a fishbowl between afew different families, so the mood was definitely more of an Olive Garden than a date night. Service was fast and our serverwas personable, pleasant, and attentive. The meatball appetizer's texture was spongy and watery - kind of like the frozen kind,and was pretty dang flavorless. The sauce itself was fairly thin and vaguely tomato flavored as well. You get four of them too,about the size of a golf ball, and in my opinion not worth the $10. The seasonal ravioli was better, I believe it had some kindof lamb in it (it wasn't beef and I spaced out when the server told me) which was really subtle and a nice touch. The meat saucewas thick, with sausages. It was a little zippy which unfortunately overpowered some of the delicate flavors, but, was a prettydecent dinner. Portion size was spot on too. Total was ~$60 for two entrees, an appetizer, and two beers. Read more

2nd time here after waiting a long time to come back from my first experience, hoping things would be better this time around.... Well, they weren't. I always give at least two visits to any venue if the first one was off. No change from my first visit. I'monly giving Two stars on my review because my server was attentive. I came for happy hour and sat in the bar. Sat down quicklyas it's open seating in the bar. I'm a whiskey guy and their selection wasn't great for starters. Had a Bulleit neat and it wasok. Not a great pour, maybe just over one ounce. Asked about what was on tap and was told only blue moon....so I ordered aManny's because that's what I saw. I know...my point exactly. Ordered the Zucchini Crisps. Nice color and crunch on theoutside.....that's it. Inside literally was raw zucchini.... not even warm. The cucumber dill sauce has zero flavor and wasgrainy/gritty. I asked for salt for the crisps as they were bland. Ate about half of them and gave up on them. Not impressed atall by this place. Definitely not a fan. Read more

I have tried Mama Stortini's when they used to have it at Northgate Mall. They have closed it down for several years now. I... didn't know there were others. So I was very happy to have found this one in Kent. Service was awesome! Our waitress was so niceand friendly. Food was great. My favorite is there zucchini crisps! The only dish we didn't like was the dessert (upside downpineapple cake). It was horrible??. It was microwaved for too long, gritty texture and not much flavor. If this was closer to myhome I would come back. But since it's pretty far, I wouldn't make a trip just for it. Read more

I was craving Italian food and wanted to try this place out on my lunch break. The place wasn't packed at all which was great... because I only get an hour for lunch. Me and my partner split a lasagna. They graciously put them on two separate plates withoutus even having to ask. The lasagna itself was delicious but it was so cold. I was really disappointed but it tasted so good. Ididn't have time to send it back or order anything else so I still ate it. My friend got the spaghetti. She loved the flavor ofthe sauce but wished it came with more sauce. Her food however was steaming hot when it arrived. She really enjoyed the flavorsand the meatballs were her favorite part. I also got the peach tea (it is unsweetened tea) and I mixed it with the strawberrylemonade. I was trying to make an Arnold Parmer type drink but it was not sweet. Not even the lemonade sweetened it. I will givethis place another try because the food wasn't nasty at all, just was very cold. The server was nice also. Checked on the tablea couple of times. Read more
