Authentic Italian Cafe on South Garden Street in the Columbia Arts District. Real Italian food that has been passed down in my family for generations along with pastries and our nostalgic moka pot espresso with our famous in-house made whipped cream.

I've been seeing your videos on Facebook and finally got the chance to stop by. Was not disappointed, I've been sending people your way even before I came by today. The lasagna is amazing! You can taste the love that went into each layer. The atmosphere is great, the staff is super friendly, and most importantly it lives up to the hype it builds on socials. Well done, team. Really hope to see you open more days of the week! I know you'll fill those tops, 86 being closed half the week. Thanks for your hard work!

Mama Mila’s is my happy place ❤️ If I’m having a rough day this is where I come, because everything about this place makes you feel at home and it’s so comforting. You feel like family while you’re here and it makes me smile. The owner, Mila, is so sweet, funny, and an amazing person in general. She’s fun to talk to, will answer any questions you have, or if you have dietary restrictions she’s your girl to talk to. I love her videos online and her personality 😆 The staff is so friendly and if you’re not sure what to get, they can help you decide. Everything on their menu is awesome so you can’t go wrong. The food and desserts are beyond PHENOMENAL (you will dream about this stuff every night until you come back). We always get dessert and nibble on it while we watch the kitchen staff make

What can I say... It's a wonderful restaurant with friendly, personable staff, plenty of seating, and let's not forget about the food. OMG! I almost went to a nearby BBQ place but had BBQ for supper the previous day. And this place looked very inviting. There was a bit of a wait to get in. You wait until your at the head of the line and order your food before you even sit down. Pay. And then go find a place to sit. As I was there solo, finding a small table for 2 was easy. The place was very busy, but still had a relaxed family atmosphere. I ordered the Fat Tony lasagna. It was phenomenal! They made an already amazing lasagna and cover it with their "crack" sauce. Brilliant idea! The flavors were as good as my mom made it! (Better actually, but I'll deny ever saying that) The focaccia bre

What an adorable and fabulous find!! We live 40 min away and were in the area several months back, but the line out the door intimated us. So glad we came back. It is ABSOLUTELY worth the wait! There is a little nook of a coffee shop and gelato just inside the door. They had my heart when I saw the Pizelle maker on the counter. 💖😍 My husband had a caramel bourbon latte while we waited in line. It was Smooth and not too sweet. For dinner I had the Big Tony and my husband had the Gemma. The Big Tony is Lasagne smothered in crack sauce. Yes, it certainly was!! The sauce was delish and flavorful, but not too salty-just perfecto. Best Italian food outside of Italy and the atmosphere is perfection! Instead of boring generic plates, dishes are served up on antique dinner plates. The owner and her

My husband heard about this place and my am I glad he did! We absolutely enjoyed this place! We waited 30 minutes outside in line because it was so long! It was worth the wait! The service was great! Erika served the gelato! She was amazing! Literally my mouth is watering thinking about our meal again! Need I really say more?!
