    Lasagna, with both Marinara and Alfredo sauce
    Brannen P.

    This place simply blew us away. Located in the heart of Orlando's tourist town this restaurant somehow manages to make you feel like you're having dinner at your Italian mother's home. There's even an actress who portrays the role of MaMa herself who will visit your table for an interaction. But the atmosphere and hospitality were just the tip of the iceberg. Their Bronzino dish currently holds the spot for the top five dishes I've ever eaten. Altogether, this experience has us wanting to return immediately.

    Pollo Alfredo

    Mama Della's was the perfect choice for our last night in Orlando! The atmosphere was warm, charming, and made for a wonderful evening. We started with the bruschetta, which was so delicious I honestly could have made a meal out of it. For dinner, we had the Pollo Alfredo and the Chicken Marsala special with mushroom risotto, and both were absolutely fantastic. What truly made the night memorable was the exceptional staff and entertainment. The singers who visited each table added such a special touch, and everyone was incredibly kind and attentive. We were even visited by Mama Della herself throughout the evening, which made us feel so welcomed and cared for. Thank you to the entire team at Mama Della's for making our last night in Orlando so memorable. We left with full hearts, full stomachs, and wonderful memories. We can't wait to return!

    This was the first time I've visited Mama Della's located at Portofino Bay. The restaurant is a great location for anyone staying at the resort or you could take the water taxi from Citywalk. Be prepared to be immersed in Italy. Mama walks around to talk to the guest. There is live music. The restaurant is quite loud. From the other guest talking to the accordion player and singer. If anyone in your party has sensory issues, then I would avoid this restaurant. The food was fantastic. The service was great. I absolutely loved my appetizer and main course. Opted out of a dessert and visited Citywalk for a frozen butterbeer. The only minus for me was the noise level and the fact you pay for bread service.

    My friends and I decided to try Mama Della's while visiting in Orlando. We had a reservation, and it took just a short time time to be seated. We were seated comfortably at a table towards the back of the restaurant. Lance, our server, was very friendly and knowledgeable about the menu. It was chilly, so bring a sweater. It was a little loud, but we were able to hold a conversation at the time. The lighting was low, but sufficient for reading the menu. It added to the ambiance. We asked for bread which was filling and came with fresh garlic cloves in oil and chilled butter. There is a charge for the bread. The focaccia was delicious. We had a visit from Mama to check to make sure our needs were being met. We ordered appetizers first. My friend's daughter ordered the Calamari Fritti, which came with Marinara and Pesto Aioli. She said it was delicate and not rubbery. Another friend ordered the Caprese salad. She said that it was delicious, a sharable portion, but the burrata could have been a larger portion. We enjoyed the live entertainment. There were 3 gentleman singing Italian songs and taking requests, as they sang at different tables throughout the restaurant. That was my favorite part of the experience. Their voices were amazing. Marline bussed our table and was very friendly. It took over an hour to get our dinner served. Our food arrived barely warm, but we were so hungry at that point, we didn't complain. I ordered the Cheese Ravioli with Braised Beef Brisket Bolognese. It tasted ok, but I got 6 ravioli for $30. I did like that it was al dente. I was still a little hungry after that. My friend's daughter ordered the Chicken Parmesan. The chicken was not really breaded and tasted like boiled chicken with zero seasoning. She did not eat it. The pasta was lukewarm. Someone else ordered the Grilled Salmon with cannellini beans, baby spinach and tomato jam. She said the tomato jam was really good. Another friend ordered the Chef Leo's Gnocchi. She said that it was ok, but not hot. We finished with cappuccinos, which were tasty. Hands down, my favorite part was the cannoli. It was amazing. It was fresh with powered sugar and strawberries. It was delicious. Because our meal took so long, we were given a parking voucher, so we didn't have to pay for parking. We did appreciate that. This was probably a one and done for us, although we really enjoyed the entertainment.

    It's been a while since I been to the Universal Studios area. We decided to do magical dining and made a reservation on a Tuesday night. We parked at the self parking garage in the Portofino Bay hotel and took an elevator to the lobby. We were directed downstairs and outside were the restaurant is. When we arrived to the restaurant, we were checked in and told to wait for a couple more minutes as it was a bit crowded. The restaurant also shared the space of Trattoria Del Porto. We were finally seated about 10 minutes later to a small table. We were immediately greeted by the hosts and given menus, including the magical dining one. For drinks, we took advantage of the 25 dollars wine paring special, which included 3oz each of Chardonnay, Cabernet, and Merlot. I tasted the Chardonnay and it was perfect for me. It wasn't too sweet, nor dry. I enjoyed it with the food we ordered. For appetizers, we tried the calamari and caprese. The calamari was fried nicely, having the right texture and not being rubbery. I was also impressed by the caprese, which had fresh tomatoes, greens, cheese, and even prosciutto. I think we enjoyed it because of the balsamic glaze that was drizzled over it. For our entree, we both had the salmon. It was grilled nicely, but I think it may have been farm raised as it only had a milder flavor than the wild ones. I also found the sauce with beans and spinach to be lacking flavor. The dish was still enjoyable, but it needed crushed peppers and tobasco sauce that I got to add the zing. I also ordered separately fettuccine alfredo with marinara sauce on the side (27 dollars) for my mom. She enjoyed it at home, and I tried it as well and liked it too. The noodles were firm without being too chewey, and the alfredo sauce was nice too. For dessert, I had the dulce de leches gelato. It had a bit too much air for me. While I did taste the dulce de leches, the gelato tasted more of shaved dairy with syrup. I do have to give kudos that the restaurant served generous portions of all the food, even for magical dining. The service was very hospitable. We had at least 3 people servicing us, including the big boss Mama herself! They also wiped the food off our tables and bagged the leftovers for us. They checked on us quite a bit on the food and if we needed anything else. The atmosphere is touristy casual, with a lot of tourists visiting. The highlight of the restaurant are the strolling singers. There was a guitarist and 2 singers playing opera songs to each table. They sung very well and were loud enough for other tables to listen and enjoy. Parking was validated and free if self parking. Valet parking was also available at the hotel entrance, but I think that cost extra. I will say Mama Della is an enjoyable restaurant for tourists in the Universal Studios area looking for decent Italian food in a fun atmosphere. The strolling singers are the main attraction here, but the food is still decent enough to enjoy. For magical dining, I would say it's a great deal. However, if you are looking for a bit more fancier Italian and willing to pay a much higher price, Bice is just a few doors away. Overall in my opera voice: Beeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee (B)

    This was our first dinner of the trip and it was located in our resort. The service was exceptional! They even had a couple of singers who came and sang table side. It gave a really nice feel to the location. We were hungry so I'm pretty sure a cardboard box would have tasted good. The food was good but not great. Honestly it was a bit over the top. Too much done to the food when a simpler make up might have been better. Nothing was less than good though, but for our first meal in this resort and for the start of this trip I had wanted out of this world. Italian food is one of my favorites but honestly this was just good. We did enjoy our time though and overall I'd try it again...

    The food was delicious. It was very crowded and took a while to be seated, even with a reservation. Once we were seated the service was great. I enjoyed the live music. I recommend if you are staying at the hotel.

    If I could rate 10 stars, I would. This place checks ALLLL the boxes and then some. What an absolute gem in Orlando! The service from actually meeting "Mama" to being gently serenaded TWICE by incredibly talented, well trained singers (who let me pick the songs) and enjoying an incredible meal... which we couldn't decide what to get.... So we got basically everything.... I was blown away. I am so sad that this place is in Florida and not Chicago where I permanently reside! But if you are on vacation in Orlando and looking for a nice date spot, or something kind of up and classy for your family, this is the place. LOVE!!!! Thank you all so much!

    Stayed at Portofino Bay Reaort during our universal trip. So we had to eat at Mama Della's at least once. Solid Italian. The bread service and calamari are a great starter. I have the rigatoni which was delish. Others at our table of 6 were thoroughly pleased as well with their salmon, lasagna, spaghetti and meatballs and such. Service was impeccable. Inside feels like Nonna's house. Mange'

    My mom and I always come here for dinner when we're in Orlando. We like to take the free boat from City Walk to Portofino Bay (hotel where restaurant is located). I love the ambiance of the hotel and how lovely it is, both inside and outside. This time we found out Mama Della's was sort of sharing space with another restaurant- literally the hostess stand was cut in half with the other restaurant on the other side. A little strange, but not terrible. This time we were seated in the best seat in the house in my opinion- a booth in front of the fireplace that was all decked out for Christmas. We joked that our photo would be this year's Christmas card. We ordered the caprese salad as an appetizer and it was so good. So was the bread that came with it. For my entree, I got the gnocchi, which is made in house and that I absolutely adore. For dessert we got the gelato with all 4 flavors and it was amazing as well. Meredith was our server and she was fine. We were stuffed like piggies and practically had to be rolled back on the boat to return back to our hotel. Wonderful as always and I hope to return.

    Definitely call to make a reservation The overall experience at Mama's was exceptional; from service to food. Enjoyed the chicken parm based upon other reviews and they were spot-on. Huge portion and the spaghetti was great. Also ordered the lasagna which was excellent. The bread sticks and bread with garlic olive oil were a great start to an exceptional experience. Shout out to our friendly server Vianney - we had a nice conversation with him about his tenure of 22 years there. Finished the night with a mini cannoli and fresh fruit. HIGHLY recommended.

    This is our second time here. We were not impressed on the first time as everything felt very average for the price and the hype this place gets. Today, was about the same. My linguini with seafood was really good beside the clams not looking super fresh and the pieces of white fish in there looked like they were still frozen. But again, I would happily rate that a 8 out of 10. Then comes my wife's dish, which it was not good. Terrible sauce that didn't look too fresh. We also had my mother and daughter and they like their dishes (Alfredo sauce for my mom and pesto for my daughter, who complained that there was too much sauce and too little gnocchi). To recap, not a terrible place but far from all the hype it gets. The singers at the table are a very nice touch. Service is just ok, nothing great either, but is good. Maybe a 7 out of 10 for the entire experience combined.

    I was in Orlando for a work conference at the Lowe's Portofino Bay resort and my family decided to come with me. We ended up trying Mama's out of convenience- it was late, we had traveled all day, and they had a reservation. The second time we went back, because we needed it again. The atmosphere is very Italian. It seems like there hasn't been a lot of updating done, but it also adds to the appeal. Nothing is dirty, just old (in a good way). The first night they also had live music. Three guys walked around to each table and sang a song for them. For us, they sang Spider-Man and my kids loved it. The server the first night was fantastic! He was funny, kind, and engaged with all of us. The second time we went, not the same level of engagement, but we never went without. We had what we needed or wanted in a timely manner. The real reason we went back - the food. Two of us got fettuccine Alfredo and devoured it. They said it was close to the best they've ever had (which, rude, because I make them Alfredo often lol), another one got spaghetti and meatballs, and the last got pizza, and a salmon with shrimp dish. We all loved our dishes. If we ever go back we will definitely visit again.

I think sometimes that the lack of service has kept me from eating out much, and then I go to Christinis where the service is too-notch.

It is old world attentive service, and you can't help but feel special when you go there. Our server this evening was Atilla (sp?) and he has a commanding presence and keeps a close eye on things in an unobtrusive way. It was my birthday and they treated me very well. Okay, let's get to the food. Bread service before the meal was excellent. The bread came with an eggplant sauce that was excellent. They offer butter and olive oil but I say to forego that, and just have the eggplant sauce/dip. We both had the shrimp cocktail, which wasn't the plan. But the shrimp were so large and we hadn't had a shrimp cocktail in a long time, and boy was it good. The shrimp was fresh and as mentioned, very large. We then had a Caesar salad which was good. The cheese was good, but I was surprised that there were no anchovies. We like classic Caesar with anchovies, but the salad was good nonetheless. We split a small portion of the fagottini pasta with pear and Gorgonzola cream sauce. It was the absolute best. It sounds like an odd flavor combo but it works. We both had the veal (their specialty) hubby had the veal picatta. I had the Marsala. Both very good. It came with a polenta fritter that was good, I'm not sure what was inside, it had a nice flavor, maybe pimentos? Even though tiramisu or crème brûlée is usually my go to if having dessert, we went for cannolis for a "lighter" option. Very good as well. The last one the list is ambiance. Beautiful tables, classy elegant restaurant, and tuxedoed waitstaff. Excellent!

I might get the pesto and mortadella on repeat for the foreseeable future. The pizzas can be ordered in Thin crust or Detroit style.

Now...the Detroit-style pizza?? Where has this been all my life? We got the Spicy Pepperoni and I'm still thinking about it. The combo of crispy edges, fluffy crust, hot honey, and goat cheese was unreal. At this point, I feel like I need to book a trip to Detroit just to compare lol. We also tried the cheese wheel pasta--flavor-wise it was just okay for me, but the tableside presentation was definitely the highlight. It's one of those dishes you order more for the experience than the taste. Paired everything with a bottle of prosecco, which made the whole night feel a little extra and very much needed. And shoutout to Zack--he was a great waiter. Attentive, friendly, and really helped make the experience smooth from start to finish. Overall, great vibes, solid food, and a fun dining experience. Definitely a spot I'd come back to--especially for that pizza and burrata situation.

As you walk in there's a large bar with a decent amount of seating, and to the right a mix of tables. Take on the limited outdoor seating at your own risk during Florida's storm season. I started with the Sunshine State cocktail. The gin cocktail was a little more lime forward than I prefer, but I'm still a fan! To follow it, I tried the Negroni Bianco. It was on the sweeter side and had a lot of floral flavor. The Bruschette Caprese has so much flavor, I couldn't get place if the tomatoes were marinated, but I loved it! For dinner I couldn't resist the house special, mustard spaghettini. It was creamy, and mustard marinated noodles the perfect balance. As you'd expect with the setting and price point, the service was professional and attentive.

    Amazing food and the best service! We ordered the white truffle garlic bread, which was so buttery…read moreand yummy (our server recommended we try the focaccia next time, as it's even better). I had their kale and goat cheese salad - it was so rich and incredibly flavorful. We had a couple hour drive home, and our server gave us coffees to go, as it was late at night. Overall: Service is super friendly and the food is absolutely divine. I would highly recommend!

    Met up with a colleague for lunch today and realized it's been YEARS since I've been to North…read moreItalia. I went when they first opened and remembered really enjoying it, but I have not been back for lunch. It was pretty quiet during that time. I ordered one of their zero proof mocktails, the 00 Spritz, which was light and refreshing. We decided to share a couple menu items including the beef carpaccio and the garlic knot sliders with pesto chicken parm. Prior to ordering, my colleague had asked our server about another menu item and the type of meat that was in the sauce because she cannot eat pork. It was clear that he was not very sure. For it not being very busy and most people dining in were on a lunch break, the food took quite a while to come out. We received the carpaccio first - it was very tasty and we both enjoyed it. When we received the garlic knot sliders, they looked amazing. It comes with 3 sliders and a side of fries. Once we began eating the sliders, my friend noticed that there was crispy prosciutto (aka pork) on them. This was not listed on the menu or mentioned by our server. Many people don't eat pork (for personal or religious reasons), so that ingredient really should be disclosed on the menu. Our server was apologetic and mentioned that they had just updated their menu so this must have been an oversight. Sadly, my friend did not have enough time left in her lunch break at this point to wait for something else to come out. I personally did enjoy the sliders and took the leftovers home. I also ordered the cacio e pepe pizza to-go to have for dinner later, and it was also very good. Besides that hiccup, overall the food was good and I would go back to try more menu items.

While looking over the menu, our server delivered 4 flutes of persecco to celebrate our joint anniversaries! We were surprised & pleased. After an amazing meal, we all were so full & satisfied that we said no to desserts. Moments later, 5 staff members came to our table with 2 incredible tarts, and sang to us!!! It was such an unexpected gesture that made our celebration all the more special! We're already planning an upcoming visit when the evenings are a little cooler, to enjoy drinks & etc. at the outdoor bar/patio area! It's such a lovely area made for relaxing & enjoying! We love to share different menu items to enjoy more variety! The salads are wonderful! We enjoyed meatballs, covered with delicious red sauce & cheeses! They were delicious & seasoned perfectly! Matched with the delicious bread, that could have been a meal! The lasagna we had was AMAZING & fully satisfied both of us! Our son & DIL also shared a pizza! It's authentic ITALIAN pizza, not US Italian pizza! The wedge salad is also one of their favorites! We did discover a new favorite during our visit! Try the CAPRI STRITZER!!! Cool, refreshing & DELICIOUS!!! An item we will enjoy on every future visit!
