Mama Mia 44SW

The perfect authentic, homemade, family-run Italian restaurant! The service was wonderful, the food was absolutely amazing, and the ambiance is great! We got the Fresh Garlic Bread appetizer, then got the Spaghetti & Meatballs and Lasagna, respectively. We ended with desserts of Tiramisu and Chocolate Temptation. Everything was perfect and we’ll absolutely be back the next time we’re in the area!

Mama Mia is a must visit if you're in NYC, especially in what was known as Hell's Kitchen. It's a very intimate and cozy place to enjoy a good meal. The bar is small, but welcoming to sit at. For those who enjoy Italian good, Mama Mia hit's the spot. I recommend their Chicken Eggplant Rollatini Parmigiana. So delicious! They has some interesting drinks that start at $18, but not watered down. The prices are typical for NYC but if you're having a drink or two and an entree, you will probably end up paying over $60 (and that's not counting dessert). Mama Mia is one NYC restaurant that is a joy to have a meal at.

We could not have asked for more! We went after reading reviews and r experience was beyond anything expected. U gotta ask for Teago who was our server. He’s so knowledgeable about everything on the menu. If he recommends.. don’t fight the feelin… just order it! The owner Connie is amazing and we loved hearing stories of the family and their lovely restaurant and alllll the changes they have seen in allll those years. Everything … perfect!!!

I've been here twice before seeing a show. Both times I entered around 5:45 and got my food quickly, which I appreciated because I needed out before 7. Unfortunately, no one wanted to bring me a check during both visits. I had to ask several staff members to pay for over 15 minutes and watch them all do several other tasks before finally being able to pay. I barely made my shows on time due to this, which was extremely disappointing. Decent food, not the best but also not the worst. I would not visit again if I need to be somewhere! I highly advise you go to other restaurants in the area if you need to catch a show.

Mamma Mia is truly a gem in Hell’s Kitchen! . Their meatballs are rich and flavorful, the pasta is cooked to perfection, and every bite feels like home. This is a real family place - warm, welcoming, and full of heart. You can feel the love in every dish, especially knowing the owner (her name in Connie) is here every single day, greeting guests and making sure everything is just right. A proud spot for Hell’s Kitchen, and a place I’ll keep coming back to. Martin and Ann also doing good live music every weekends 🫶🏼
