We stopped by last night for a quick meal before joining some folks for karaoke. They informed us…read morewhen we sat down the kitchen was closing in 5 minutes so my wife opted for the club sandwich and I got the chicken tenders. Her club was huge and stuffed with cheese and meat and really good looking bacon. My chicken tenders were big and well cooked and the honey mustard sauce was excellent. Even with them closing in a few minutes we didn't feel rushed or in the way. They were attentive to us keeping our drinks filled and making sure I got a box to take my chicken home for later. Yes their chicken tenders were good enough to want to take home. Hope to visit again soon.

So, I figured it was time to update my review of this amazing place. As I mentioned before, I'd…read morekeep coming back; and, true to my word, I'm literally there every Sunday for Brunch, grinning like I own the place while the staff (who are absolute gems, by the way) welcome me in. I've also stopped by for dinner a few times, and let me tell you, these folks don't miss. The food? Always fresh and delicious. The service? Fast, professional, and somehow still warm and personable. They've really built a fantastic team here, and at this point, I'm pretty sure I qualify for honorary family membership. Someone get me a name tag that says "MSB Cousin." If you're ever there for Brunch when the "Big Stack" is on the menu, please try it. You're going to love it, and the many other brunch and dinner items on the menu.

Food was okay. We got Shrimp Alfredo and seafood linguine (the creamy sauce was good but definitely…read moredid not taste like authentic Alfredo sauce) the calamari in linguine tasted fake (rough and chewy). Fried Calamari was alright also. We've had better. Broccoli cheddar soup was watery and not a thick delicious soup. Clam chowder soup tasted more like a canned potato soup (very disappointing). The garlic bread was absolutely not edible (NOT fresh at all, hard as a rock with absolutely no flavor). The cannoli was the only thing that I would rate a 5 star. Customer Service was good over the phone.

Really an amazing place in every way. Would take my partner, wife, parents and everyone here.

I've been to Little Mama's at the SP location a few times, but didn't know there was a sister…read morelocation at Providence Road, so I made a reservation via Open Table (with specific request for a booth). We arrived early for our RSVP @ 5:30 pm...and there were many tables and booths open (possibly up to 5 booths open, in fact!). Well, this girl behind the hostess stand didn't even bother to read the reservations details, and set us off to these high-top tables. I told the hostess that we requested a booth. She then took us back up front to that girl behind the stand...who then seemingly purposefully put us in their back porch area (?!?) with these big, rowdy groups and many children...right by the doorway, and not a booth either (but a half booth)! It was possibly the worst seating in the entire restaurant. After this second time, I went back up front again, and told the 2 hostesses that I saw many booths in the restaurant, and I didn't understand the difficulty-resistance!! Frankly, I was livid. Truly, that girl was just clueless, to say the least! Again, I can't believe that despite plenty of full booths available, she sent us out to their porch area, with this half-booth seating, RIGHT By THE DOORWAY. (I actually mentioned NOT by the doorway in my reservations details!) I truly thought she was deliberately sending us out there in retaliation. BTW, this girl didn't even give us any eye contact...and no proper greetings when we entered the restaurant either. We stood looking at her for a good minute before she even acknowledged us. Her incredibly rude hostessing nearly made us walk out. Absolutely terrible hostess service...the WORST! Once we were finally seated in a booth, we managed to calm down, and things started to take a positive turn. For one, our waitress (forgot her name) was great...cheerful and attentive all throughout. Also, I have to commend the house Manager, who must have noticed the re-seating. He stopped by to check on us and get all the details. I also noticed that this Manager was really on top of things...as he hustled around the restaurant the entire time we were there. I don't think he sat down even once! So it seemed the only incompetent staff member there was their Hostess (not the one that walked us to the table, but the one behind the stand)...definitely not the wait staff, or the Manager. I actually studied their menu beforehand...and loved what they had to offer. As we began to order, we also realized that they gave us the option to choose the type of pasta and the sauce as well. Kudos to that! We decided to share everything, and ordered: Mama's Crabcake, Combo Parmesian (Eggplant plus Chicken Parm, plus Pasta of choice...with a sauce of choice!), and this amazing special of the night, Short Rib Pasta. We ended our meal with their Gelato...and they threw in the Cannoli (as peace offering, I guess?). Well, truly we thought all the dishes, including the desserts, were delish. We even enjoyed their complimentary bread...so good! Portions were huge too...so we managed to doggy bag some leftovers. I also tried their Manhattan Martini...and it was stellar. Very strong...exactly what I needed! Despite the worst possible intro to this restaurant, we ended up thoroughly enjoying the meal...and as mentioned, the rest of the staff made up for the incompetence of one. For that, I'll only deduct a star. It's a shame...because I would have easily dropped 5 stars for the foods and the service by our waitress and the Manager. Maybe next time?

The atmosphere was relaxed with pleasant music playing at a volume so low you could have conversations. And the food...absolutely delicious and abundant servings. We took home enough for 2 meals.

You can tell immediately that Antonio and his team takes pride in what they do, because every detail feels intentional. The service, "Haleda" definitely one of my all time favorites, was the kind you don't forget: warm, attentive, and genuinely welcoming without ever feeling forced. It set the tone for the entire night. And the food... unreal. Every dish was balanced, flavorful, and clearly crafted with skill. You know that moment when you take a bite and just stop talking for a second because your brain needs to process how good it is? That was me, repeatedly. This wasn't just a meal -- it was an experience. I recommend the Egg Plant Parmesan! The ambiance sealed the deal. Comfortable, stylish, and perfect for actually enjoying the people you're with. It's rare to find a place that nails both the vibe and the food, but this one does it effortlessly. Tonight officially raised the bar for what I consider a great restaurant. I'll be back, and I'll be recommending it to everyone I know! Thank you Antonio and Haleda for always an amazing experience and dinner!

What more could one ask? I mostly choose their Classico Lasagna with a salad since I avoid making both at home. Lasagna is too time consuming, and why is it that a salad always tastes better when someone else makes it, right? Olive Garden makes me happy when I chose to let them cook for me. Despite some low scores (almost every national franchise of any restaurant gets low scores), this location is dialed in for my wife and me. Looking for someone else to cook today? Has my "Give 'em a whirl" meter covered in marinara sauce and dripping with cheese. Dine here.

As for the food, the place recently changed ownership. There was a small middle eastern menu along with the Italian menu. I ended up ordering the lasagna as the waiter said it was popular.
