Looking at the other reviews I think theres a consensus that the servers are terrible. I wanted to…read moregive my unbiased first time review here. You have to realize that Sparta is a small town, and this is a small town restaurant. Everyone here is local, and there aren't many people. While yes the service was on the slower side, they do take care of you. I literally saw a server help a mother warm up her baby bottle to feed her baby. (A terrible server could care less) My server did a good job of making sure our group had their drink refills, and all our food. I wasn't expecting to be there for almost 3 hours, but in the end we all had fun. The food was actually really good for a place that is more a bar vibe. I know Pizza is in their name, but the appetizers and Wings won me over. The Buffalo Chips were really flavorful and filling. I love the different hot sauces they had, and their home made ranch was CHEF'S KISS. The wings were really crispy and well battered. If I ever get a chance to come back I would love to order plain, so I can drench them in their ranch sauce. The Pizza, while it wasn't perfect. The dough was giving sour dough and it was dry. The toppings and size were generous. I wished I ordered a medium. I liked eating it with ranch sauce, and buffalo. Easy fix for the dry dough. Do try their draft beers. I am not much of a drinker, and it can get intimidating trying to pick a drink with an extensive menu. However you can ask the servers for their recommendations, and you can actually try their beers, and you won't get stuck with a drink you hate. Do come here if you love to sing. They have open mic karaoke. I really liked that people from various tables were all going up taking turns singing. Looks like this town the folks are fun, and not at all shy. Plus its is Family friendly. If you don't like loud music and fun, well then avoid this place. I had fun eating, and singing. This place gets a 4, because the experience was fun. It wasn't a perfect 5, only due to the pizza dough and the slower service. Other than that, if I ever come back to Sparta, I will be stopping by for a bite.

Driving along 81 South from Staten Island, New York to visit with our family in Georgia; we were…read morestopping for the night to stay at The Hampton Inn Suites in the town of Abingdon, VA. Before retiring for the night, we searched for a place to eat and found Momma Mia Italiano Restaurant. At first we were reluctant, thinking how could an Italian restaurant be any good in a small town in Virginia. After all, we are of Italian-American descent -- so we know genuine Italian food and being the cook in our home -- I know how to cook Italian. My meatballs are renowned with our family and circle of friends. Not only are we of Italian descent, we are from NYC where there are the best restaurants in the world!!!! We have lived there over 60 years and have ate at the best! We entered the restaurant to see the entry King Kong sign about being the best -- better than NYC. I knew immediately that sign was spot on -- the restaurant smelled like my home growing up as a child on Sunday mornings! The aroma of the red tomato sauce carried us into our seats! (I think I was floating.) There were so many choices on the menu, it was difficult to make our choices. I decided on a plate of spaghetti with meat sauce and the chicken salad. My husband chose the raviolis and a side salad. The dinner included Italian garlic bread! The service from our server was divine: friendly, courteous and professional. The owner/chef visited us at the table a few times to be sure everything was alright, and it was MORE THAN alright. The food was "delicioso!

To go with it, I subbed a salad instead of fries, and for a small up-charge, I had a half of their pear and blue salad sans the bacon. It was so good! I want to go back for a whole salad and try one of their flatbreads to go with it, so I can bring some leftovers home for lunch the next day. Now, if they had a cocktail offering with a product from the nearby distiller, I would have made him be designated instead of me.

It's clearly a busy place. "Wait to be seated" suggests…read morethey'll at least acknowledge your arrival. Nope. Waited a bit. Again busy, but not okay. Servers walked round us several times before acknowledging we were there. Okay to wait for a table, but when the table becomes open, acknowledge us and let us sit, rather than continuing to make us wait. We were seated and waited again before given menus and cutlery. A couple sat down several minutes after us and were given cutlery and menus. I get different waitresses have different tables, but a table who arrives first should be served first. And yup, they got their food before we did. Food was disappointing. Fries were warm. Crab cake sandwich (with shrimp) lacked flavor, and tasted like a crispy potato cake. Buffalo chicken sandwich should not be kids chicken tenders toasted in sauce falling out of the sandwich. Burger was overcooked and dry. The bathroom needs a clean. Slippery floors, cracked tiles that feel like you're going to fall through the floor. Around disappointed
