They've added a second level that's bright, airy & roomy. Huge TVs everywhere. Comfy seating. Lots of windows. Even some games to play. Outside there's even more fun.

Our memorial day grill out was rained out so we decided we'd hit a nearby tavern for some beer and…read morefood. I have to say Newtown Village Tavern has the coldest beer in Cincinnati. I love ice cold beer. This was so cold it almost hurt my teeth. Mich Ultra 3.50- say what?!?! I had the steak hoagie. Nothing to write home about- I think what we really need to talk about are these sweet potato fries with the pine sauce. I'm a saucy girl. Pine sauce was orange marmalade brown sugar, and coconut flakes. I thought I died and went to heaven. The sweet potato fries tasted like a dessert. Three beers-two sandwiches-and a basket of fries with a generous tip were just shy of 50 bucks. Staff as attentive- plenty of tvs to watch your favorite Cincy teams.

My husband and I chose Mama's for our anniversary dinner and had a wonderful experience! We…read morefrequent another pasta restaurant in town and wanted to try something new that also had several Italian classics to choose from. It was all delicious, service was wonderful, vibes were beautiful, and I felt the food came at a good value for what we ordered. Mainstrasse in Covington is an experience and Mama's is part of that! We sat outside on the patio to take it all in- highly recommend in nice weather. The building itself is beautiful and both the inside and outside feature artsy details in the decor that I really appreciated. My favorite was the mismatched plates, which were darling and cozy! Our waitstaff was quick and friendly, allowing us to order all at once and bringing things out with great timing- quickly, but not until we finished a course so we weren't rushed. We appreciated getting in and out relatively quick as we had a sitter at home. We decided to go a little all out and try a lot of items together. First, the focaccia and ricotta was enjoyable but not my favorite bread starter I've had. It hit the spot but I wasn't raving about it like another one of my favorite whipped ricotta starters across town. The arancini, however, was fantastic- probably our favorite thing we ate. Hot, crispy, and paired with a delicious spicy marinara that was super standout and flavorful. Next we got the stonefruit panzanella, which was beautiful and really yummy. The burrata was delicious in particular and while the cherries and peaches weren't the best I've had all season, they worked well together in this dish. For our entrees, we split both the chicken parmesan and the limone pasta. The chicken parmesan was huge, we both had a large piece even after it was split. The pasta had that delicious marinara from earlier and we really enjoyed it, which is saying a lot for a simple marinara spaghetti. The chicken was very thin and crispy. I liked the limone even better- it was very lemon forward which can be hard to achieve in a creamy sauce. We only wished we tried more shapes of pasta because it's made in house and the spaghetti was the perfect level of al dente in our opinions. We were super full, but ordered the cookie platter to finish the meal. We split a couple of the 6 cookies that came in 3 varieties, but took the rest home! The chewy almond/amaretto cookie was our favorite and really unique. My husband also had an old fashioned and commented that he liked it a lot. I would have expected this much food to come out to much more than it did- $100! I feel that is a great value for a special occasion considering we were stuffed and tried a ton of menu items. Overall, this was such an indulgent and fun experience and I'd highly recommend Mama's to anyone who is looking for a yummy Italian experience with comfort food classics in a fun, cozy Covington setting.

On par with Bourbon House and Strong's for sure, just slightly different. We went here with friends last Friday night and would definitely come back. Service was pretty quick but the place filled up VERY quickly after 6:30/7PM or so, and then service slowed down considerably (understandably). Indoor area is big, and the outdoor area seems nice (not for me during the summer months though). Overall, good pizza and good bang for your buck - highly recommend.

Previously I would have rated their pizza as high average but I believe in order to keep up with goodfellas they changed something and their pizza has been consistently excellent since. They have some of the best staff we've seen and we have seen them so short staffed one server had the entire floor and still kept up with the place. Really unique open floor plan with some games and a pretty decent bar selection with rotating drafts. Cons: it can be really loud on game nights and Sometimes they won't accept orders for door dash/delivery

The drinks here are creative and adventurous yes, but firstly they're DELICIOUS! The Golden Matcha was insanely good and had the coolest presentation! If anyone played Webkinz as a child and made fun drinks with their recipes they look like that! IYKYK! For the experience, flavor, and presentation I expected a way higher price point but everyone in my group felt their drinks were moderately/fairly priced. The bar itself is not very big so be weary of coming during busy hours with big groups. We came for a pre dinner drink around 5pm and there were almost no people there, but by the time we left at 6 it was starting to get crowded. Overall I really enjoyed the drinks and the service here. The aesthetic is cute and thoughtfully displayed. Very unique place!

I'm so picky when it comes to pizza, so listen when I say this place was GOOD. One thing I loathe…read moreabout Cincinnati pizza is how sweet the sauce is and their's wasn't! Also, I had this meal a couple weeks ago at this point and let me be so honest, I still dream of the crust. It's crunchy and airy but doughy in a way that so few get right. I genuinely could just be given a sheet of dough and I'd be the happiest camper. No joke. With that said, my boyfriend ordered the small personal pepperoni pizza. I did not. I ordered the Italian sub. It was....fun. The bread was PERFECTION. Everything on it, however, was pretty mid. I even took the tomato, lettuce, and about half of the onions. I wanted a bit more flavor without detracting from the meats. All in all, this place was awesome and I am so excited to come back again! The energy was very family friendly, though most at the time were primarily couples on date night. I already know what I wanna try next!
