I write this review knowing that this location of Mama D's closed a couple of weeks ago. I was going to post a review after sampling most all of their menu, which is no longer possible. I'll just post photos of some of the items that I've had in previous months. I enjoyed every visit and always found whatever I ordered to be excellent in taste and a good value. read more

We were trying to decide on dinner and wanted to find a place nearby. MAMA D'S popped up and since a couple of our other options were in the same area, we decided to check it out. The restaurant was pretty busy and there were people waiting outside for a table. It looked promising so we decided to give it a try. The restaurant itself isn't very big, but is cozy and inviting. It's not like your typical chain restaurant. Definitely has that local neighborhood Italian restaurant feel. We probably waited a good 15-20 minutes for a table. Staff were very nice and kept us up to date on the status of our table. While waiting, they offered samples of their bread, then samples of their rigatoni with pink sauce. All delicious! Nirvana was our server and she was great! She was friendly and attentive. She gave us enough time to browse the menu and even made suggestions. My mom ordered the bolognese, I got the chicken Marsala, and my husband got their calzone and added pepperoni. We got the mozzarella balls to share as an appetizer. Everything was delicious, but I liked my chicken Marsala the most. Portions were a good size, as well. They don't have a dessert menu, but they give you fresh-baked chocolate chip cookies after your meal. There are a few more items on their menu that I want to try so we'll definitely be back! read more

Mama D's hits every time they just do everything so well. The service is always exceptional, their identity is to treat everyone like family and they really walk the walk. I love their lasagna - they keep some tomato chunks in the sauce, and it's a little less layered than your typical lasagna. So good. Also had their baked ziti and it's a banger. You gotta put respect on the name. Mama D takes your more ordered menu item and takes it to the next level. Can't wait for my next trip. read more

Mama D's - Tony's Lasagna - Pizza Near Me - Torrance, California

We ordered from mama D's this weekend for takeout. When I arrived to pick up our order, the restaurant was very packed so I was excited to try the food. We ordered the lasagna, the short rib, ravioli, and the garlic knots. I am giving three stars because we were highly disappointed in the portion sizes. Typically, when we order this amount of food at an Italian restaurant, we don't expect to finish it in one sitting, and we did. Perhaps we need to try it in person but for the cost of the short rib ravioli, it was very disappointing to see how tiny the portion was. The lasagna was average, I can't say it was better or worse than most lasagnas that I have had. However, the short rib ravioli was very tasty. It seems the reviews are high here, so we will probably give it another shot and go in person next time read more

If I could ten stars I would! The service here is absolutely amazing! I really couldn't even begin to explain how much we enjoyed our dinner here. We came in a big group for my brother's birthday and we were all taken care of perfectly. They even passed out samples of their popular dishes. The pink sauce was bomb and the cheese pizza was great. The owner came out and he was hilarious! We ended up getting one of the specials and weren't a fan of it so we sent it back. We weren't expecting anything but they ended up bringing out a dish for us! We can't wait to be back to try more of their food! read more

So we celebrated my husband's daughters' birthday and she loves Italian and so I suggested this place and she was excited to go cause she's never been. She loved it ... we loved it. We got the Red carpet treatment from The partner Anton... our waiter Gerson was fabulous and gave sincere recommendations! The food came so fast. We had all the items pictures plus an appetizer given due to her birthday. Anton and a lady server even sang the birthday song to her. We love this place. Thank you to the other owner for encouraging me to come to this brand new location In Torrance!! read more

PHENOMENAL service, this place was a delight. You walk in and are immediately greeted with free bread. Then you can play a game to win a free meal. The woman behind us actually won! Our server was above and beyond, made the whole experience so fun. My eggplant Parmesan with pink sauce was sooooo good I cannot overstate how delicious it was. When they bring your food out, they come out with a bucket of shredded Parmesan cheese to top it!! Small but relevant detail: the fountain drinks were crisp and delicious. I'm a Coke snob, and it was a great beverage. The design of the place is welcoming, lots of art or things on the wall to look at. I'm really excited to have found a new regular spot. Can't wait to work my way through the menu :) read more

I had high hopes for Mama D's but felt it was just basic... and didn't really stand out from other Italian restaurants in the area. I ordered takeout on Door Dash last month. We shared the garlic knots (they were very tough), Rusty's baked ziti (just okay), Chicken Mama D's with penne (not flavorful and super bare). I think what disappointed me most was they forgot to include the added large meatball to my order (which I paid for). When we got home and realized it was missing from the order, I called to see if they would refund the meatball charge. the girl took my info and said she would call her manager to have it refunded. It was never resolved. Can't say it impressed me enough to want to come back sadly. Hopefully, they'll have better luck in this location since we have seen many restaurants come and go in that spot. read more

10000000/10 Mama D's is such a wonderful spot with a warm, cozy ambience that immediately makes you feel at home. The service was outstanding, Aurora was incredibly attentive, friendly, and made the entire experience feel special. The lasagna ravioli was absolutely delicious and easily the best dish, rich, comforting, and perfectly made. Great food, amazing service, and a welcoming atmosphere. Highly recommend. I only got a picture of the bread because the food was so good that I didn't get a chance to take a picture. read more

Mama D's - Pizza Near Me - Torrance, California

We stumbled upon Mama D's while in the area and decided to give it a try after seeing all the great reviews on Yelp -- and wow, it totally lived up to the hype. This place is a gem! We ordered the lasagna and frankie's fried ravioli. Everything came out quickly, hot, and clearly made with love. The lasagna was rich and cheesy, the frankies were packed with flavor, and the fried raviolis were the perfect crispy bite to start with. Everything tasted homemade, comforting, and just really well done. The service was fantastic -- friendly, attentive, and welcoming without being overbearing. You can tell they take pride in what they do, and it shows both in the food and the atmosphere. Price-wise, it's very reasonable for the quality you get. Honestly, I don't have a single complaint. The only thing I wish? That this place was closer to home -- I'd be here all the time. Perfect for a casual date night or a dinner out with friends. If you're anywhere I this area, I would definitely check it out. read more

Mama D's in Redondo Beach just up and disappeared but I've found Mama. Located inside Rolling Hills Plaza Torrance CA Mama D's is a perfect combination of homestyle Italian restaurant and an moderately upscale restaurant that you wouldn't mind going for all occasions. The food was scrumptious. I just loved loved their Chicken Mama D's. Bite size Chicken Fillet Sautéed in a White Wine Butter Sauce with Mushrooms, Onions, and Bell Peppers. Our server Victor recommended the angel hair pasta. I placed my trust in his recommendation and it paid off. The thin pasta went well with the White Wine Butter Sauce, sopping up just enough to complement the tender bite size chicken pieces. This was my favorite dish by far. We also spit a bowl of Minestrone Soup. A light vegetable rich soup without beans (the way I like it). The baked clams were so so. Too much breading and too small clams but the butter garlic sauce that it was baked in was excellent. Victor, our server was personable and made our dining experience a good one. Actually everyone at Mama D's made us comfortable and felt right at home. Next time? PIZZA!! read more

* Mama D's has always been outstanding for their Italian Cuisine, fresh baked breads & amazing service. * I've been a long time fan from back in their days in Manhattan Beach, & stop there as often as I can. * My favorite is their angel hair pasta with garlic & oil, but their parmesans are also homemade & delicious. * I highly recommend this restaurant for special occasions, or just casual dining with friends & family. read more

I can't wait to come back lol. I love a short rib ravioli AND a brown butter sage sauce and they happened to have this on special! It was delicious! A little pricey but worth it. The complimentary bread is also so tasty! I think we had two baskets lol and I probably could have had more. read more

I've always wanted to try Mama D's and happened to be in the area here! It seemed like they just opened this location, so I was excited to try it. Parking is plentiful and very easy to park. We ate here for Mothers Day weekend and we came here quite early for dinner around 5pm. There were plenty of available seats at that time so we were about to get seated, until the employee upfront told us that there's a game that we can play while they set up the table haha. It's a fun way to pass the time, cause I really got persistent in trying to get it to 10 seconds for that free meal hahah. They also offered us garlic bread! Once we were seated, they actually offered even more garlic bread. They have an extensive menu, luckily not too overwhelming, but I ended up having us to order the caesar salad, pink sauce pasta, and a cheese pizza with pepperoni, sausage, and bell peppers. They do charge for each topping, which is pretty unfortunate, but that is how you would be able to 'customize' your own pizza. It didn't take too long for our order to be prepared. Everything was actually quite efficient. The boss(?) was there checking around all customer tables, snapping at the servers to hurry, which I lowkey feel bad for the workers lol, but trying to gain the best experience for the customers. I saw he was even doing a card game with another table behind haha. Anyways, onto the food, the caesar salad was pretty standard, nothing too special, but pretty nice to have to balance all the carbs. The pink sauce pasta was quite good! The pasta they use is large as well, so it soaks up all the nice good pink sauce with it. The pizza might be my parents favorite. Crust was perfect, it wasn't too burnt, the cheese was cheesing, and the toppings were pretty fresh. Everything was pretty tasty here. The serving portions here are a bit smaller (or at least enough for 1 serving) ompared to family syle servings, but luckily we weren't too hungry so it wasn't definitely enough for all of us. The service was so quick, they already brought our check and to-go boxes as we were still eating lol. We ended up paying in cash to get 10% off, but they somehow got mixed up with our cash and gave us less change. I was worried we were gonna have to start an argument since we were having a nice experience, but the boss came and admitted that he had miscounted our check. Everything was all well in the end. Overall, this is a nice restaurant, great food, and emphasizes on the core value of FAMILY. It atmosphere honestly reminds me of Bucca di Beppo, but in a modern fashion. Food is better here too. read more

I just found my new favorite spot for Italian cuisine in the South Bay! I spotted Mama's D's the other day at Rolling Hills Plaza and I instantly made plans to eat here. I've always wanted to try Mama D's and I am so excited that they now have a Torrance location. The service was excellent from the start. They instantly brought out some complimentary Focaccia bread and olive oil dipping sauce. I loved the warm, soft bread topped with Parmesan. It was the perfect starter. We chose to get the Sammie's Stuffed Mushrooms ($13.99) for our appetizer. This came with seven fresh mushrooms filled with a tiny mushrooms, seasoned bread crumbs, fresh herbs and topped with mozzarella cheese. This appetizer was so flavorful. The mozzarella topping added a nice cheesy touch. Being a mushroom fan; I enjoyed this appetizer very much. For our main course, we got Mama D's Famous Pink Sauce with Angel Hair Pasta ($22.99) with a large homemade meatball ($4.99). Wow! I can see why the pink sauce is famous. The pink sauce is amazingly creamy. They make it out of fresh grated Parmesan cheese and cream blended with marinara sauce. They don't skimp on the sauce and the angel hair pasta was richly smothered with the wonderful pink sauce. The homemade meatball was huge and hearty. They have a sign at the restaurant that says "At Mama D's Diet Starts Tomorrow" and I can tell you this pasta was worth every calorie. It was a true treat! Our meal here ended with them giving us some complimentary chocolate chip cookies. The cookies were freshly baked and warm. They were soft and the chocolate chips were delightfully gooey and messy. It was the perfect dessert to end a wonderful meal! I absolutely loved my first visit to Mama D's and I know it will not be my last! I hope to be back to try some of their lunch specials. (Lunch specials are around the $16.99 price range- what a deal!) Lastly, I wanted to mention that if you pay cash you will get 10% off your bill! I love Mama D's! The food is amazing and the service is top notch. read more

I had dinner at Mama D's Italian Kitchen after hearing so many locals rave about it, and I can see why it has such a loyal following. I ordered the lasagna along with Jamie's mozzarella balls, and both dishes felt like they came straight out of someone's family kitchen. The lasagna was layered generously, with rich meat sauce, creamy ricotta, and perfectly melted cheese on top. Each bite had depth and warmth, without tasting overly heavy. It's the kind of dish that makes you slow down and really enjoy it. Jamie's mozzarella balls were a fun way to start the meal. Lightly crisp on the outside and gooey inside, they paired really well with the marinara sauce, which had a bright, fresh tomato flavor. They disappeared from the plate quickly. The dining room has a welcoming, neighborhood feel. It's lively but still comfortable, and you can tell many guests are regulars. The team working there brought a cheerful energy and checked in just enough to make sure everything was going smoothly. Mama D's delivers hearty, satisfying Italian comfort food in a setting that feels genuinely inviting. I'd happily return when I'm craving a classic pasta night done right. read more

Mama D's - Pizza Near Me - Torrance, California

If you're looking for a family-friendly Italian spot with great food and a lively vibe, Mama D's delivers. Date night before a movie, this is your spot! The ambience is warm and inviting, with a fun, casual energy that makes it perfect for families. They've really leaned into being kid friendly, there's a toy chest, kids' menus that double as coloring pages (which can be posted on the wall afterward), and even a playful game at the front door where you try to stop a timer at exactly 10 seconds to win a free meal. We came so close, just three-thousandths of a second off! For the record, the odds are 1 in 10,000, so we were not really that close. Our server, Gerson, was fantastic, friendly, knowledgeable, and clearly proud to be part of Mama D's, where he's worked for years. His suggestions were spot on, and chatting with him added to the night's enjoyment. Service like his is exactly why we've been fans of Mama D's across various locations for over 20 years, so we were excited to have one open close to Palos Verdes. As any solid Italian restaurant should, they serve Peroni (check!), and my wife enjoyed a glass of the house Cab. The ambience is also solidified by the red/white checkered table covers. For food, we split Gerson's Short Rib Ravioli (named after our server), which was rich and flavorful (though the sauce leaned a bit oily), and I indulged in the seafood special with shrimp, scallops, and calamari in their signature pink sauce, the dish is super rich, and absolutely delicious. They also serve freshly baked bread tableside, sprinkled with Parmesan and paired with garlic and oil, creating an idyllic dipping sauce. Fair note: entrée prices for specialty dishes are on the higher side ($31.99 each for ours), but the combination of good food, great service, and a fun, family-friendly atmosphere made it worth it. Big thanks to Gerson for taking such good care of us, we'll definitely be back. Next stop, 5-stars! read more

We were so excited to try the mama D's new location in Torrance. When we arrived, we were greeted at the door with fresh bread. We were seated outside on their patio section. The ambience was just a small hometown feel. I love that this place does not feel like a commercialized restaurant. The owner of the restaurant had been there while we were there and came and greeted us as well. He was so friendly and so welcoming. The food was just as delicious as we remember from the Hermosa location. My husband had the chicken parmigiana and I had mama ds famous pink sauce. I was really looking forward to a cannoli for dessert, but unfortunately, our server let us know that this location does not have cannolis at this time but they are working on it. We did get complementary chocolate chip cookies for dessert that were perfectly cooked. It made for a very special and nice date night. The music did kick on around 530/6pm and was a little loud but they lowered the volume after a couple songs which was nice. Highly recommend giving this Italian restaurant a chance. You won't regret it. read more

I believe location was a business that sold Macaroons years ago. It is near the AMC Theaters. Now Mama D's is here! Food was delicious, but what also made this place special was the service. From the moment my wife and I walked in, we were greeted with freshly baked parmesan bread, and a fun game of stop the digital timer to see if we would get a free meal. You can tell that the people here go the extra mile to make this fun and inviting. We had Anton's Pasta Roma and Short Rib Ravioli. I'm grateful this is not one of those typical American pseudo-Italian restaurants that serve only spaghetti, fettuccine alfredo, and pasta drenched in marinara sauce. They do have a variety of pasta dishes with other sauces (white, mixed, aglio olio). I don't often leave reviews unless I'm blown away or very displeased. Suffice it to say, we were happy with the food and service! read more

My brother and I ordered on Door Dash thinking it was Mama D's and it wasn't. I guess Mama D's closed and the new owner changed the name to Mama Ciao's. The food is bland and for the price it was not worth it. I ordered the short rib ravioli which cost $28.00. I opened the container and it came with 5 tiny pieces of ravioli and smelled and tasted like old oil. It was not even edible. The bread was stale and hard and was put in the foil like someone had pulled it apart with their hands. Pieces here and there. Please do not waste your money on this place it's disgusting!!!! If I could give it zero stars I would. They did the bait and switch making people think it was Mama D's. Also make note that the past reviews are for Mama D's until today. Today was the first day they opened under the new name. read more

This place is beaming with hospitality the moment you walk in. Located in the middle of the Rolling Hills plaza near the AMC, Mama D's is a small restaurant featuring comfort Italian food and great service. As soon as you walk in, someone greets you and offers you a sample of their focaccia bread. We came on a Saturday around 7 and it was busy but not packed so we got seated pretty quickly. Once you're seated, they give you a basket of more focaccia bread and this lovely roasted garlic oil. The bread was fresh, soft, and generously sprinkled with Parmesan cheese. My boyfriend ordered the fettuccine alfredo with chicken and I got the tortellini special which was a sampler of their different sauces (famous pink sauce, alfredo, marinara, and broccoli pesto). It wasn't on the official menu but I saw another Yelper post a pic so I asked about it. The special was $47 but worth it because it ended up being 3 meals worth for me. We also got the Jamie's mozzarella balls with marinara appetizer to share. All the food was great and the customer service was very friendly, even the owner(?)/son of Mama D came and introduced himself and asked how our dinner was which I thought was very nice. When the bill came, they also gave us a homemade cookie and someone came around giving samples of their pizza so needless to say we were absolutely stuffed by the end. My only small complaint is that we were seated outside so it may have been why but our server didn't really check up on us during our dinner and our waters never got refilled as it seemed they were busy with a larger group inside. Overall though, everyone was welcoming and the food was delicious and I would definitely come back. read more

First time here and the restaurant itself is a little small but was able to house our large party of 24! We tried a lot of dishes from appetizers to their special short rib raviolis. (Which was mid) The waiters were super helpful, but unfortunately they did forget some things. But on the plus, we got some free appetizers while we waited. So if you have patience and can allow for human error, it is good place to visit. The cost is a bit high for what we got, and the portion didn't fit the price. read more

We just returned from our first time at Mama D's, and we were thrilled with almost everything!! As 1st timers, we received a dish of penne with pink sauce, which was rich and appetizing. The bread was just ok for me and we needed a butter knife in the place setting. The lasagne was deliciously meaty and cheesy, the pasta tomorrow was yummy with an avalanche of tomatoes, the angel hair with marinara and meatball really hit the spot!! The deep tomato flavor saturated my taste buds!! The surprise came at the end with the full size chocolate chip cookies!!! The service was extremely attentive, and the manager was friendly and gracious!! Without question, we will be back!!! read more

Tried this spot on the strength of the 5 star reviews but was very disappointed. In fact, this was a flat out terrible experience. From the start at check in, there was an awkward interaction between the manager and a staff member where he made a snarky comment to her that was off putting. It was obvious she thought so too. On a positive note our server was solid and was hustling. But he seemed stressed - are they understaffed? Not sure. The food was just so so. Nothing remarkable. Eggplant Parm & Meat Ravioli for entrees. We shared the Italian salad which was easily enough for two but we had to ask for an extra plate so we could share. The salad is served on a plate with the various items separated into sections. Good luck mixing the items together on a plate. A larger semi shallow bowl would make more sense as the plate made it difficult. But the meal took a total turn for the worse when the manager sat down to chat with a couple he seemed to know. We were seated in their side patio with 6 or 7 tables in very close proximity. The manager decided it was appropriate to tell a story about the terrible rat infestation at what sounded like a former location. He went into waaay too much detail about their rat problem and we immediately lost our appetites. Who talks about rat infestations in front of customers eating a meal? Totally inappropriate and disgusting. Very disappointing and kicking myself for not going to the other fine Italian spot across the street. read more

Always wanted to try it out and happy they opened closer to me than the Hermosa location. They had a fun game where if you win, you get free food! Instantly brought out the free bread which was nice and the dipping olive oil was perfectly seasoned. Had the meat sauce with fettuccine and meat ravioli. Definitely generous with the sauce which was good. Plus they gave complimentary chocolate chip cookies at the end!

Hi, I'm that girl at your table. You know the one. The one who pulls out a plastic card listing multiple food allergies and says, "So... fun fact... one wrong ingredient could take me out." Mama D's in Torrance? Didn't blink! Our server Victor deserves a standing ovation (and possibly a parade). From the moment I handed over my allergy card, he was calm, kind, informed, and took it seriously--not in a nervous way, but in a confident "we've got you" way. He walked me through the menu, made excellent recommendations, and double-checked everything so I could relax and enjoy dinner like a normal human instead of a food-anxious raccoon. And let me be clear: This wasn't just "good for allergy food." This was fresh, expertly prepared, genuinely great food, period. Bonus: there's a game you can play to win a free dinner--and my husband won. Woohoo! That said, I feel like I'm the real winner, because I'm alive, happy, and typing this review instead of explaining myself to EMTs. If you have serious food allergies and are tired of places dismissing you or making you feel like a weirdo--Mama D's gets it. The whole staff was thoughtful, careful, and genuinely kind. Shoutout again to Victor--thank you for making dinner safe and wonderful. Highly recommend. Especially to my fellow allergy peeps! read more

This place was so good I came back for a 2nd time in less than a week! They have a couple games you can play right when you walk in for a chance at a free meal! Already starts your visit with fun energy. The staff is friendly and make you feel comfortable. The vibe makes you feel like you're family. And the food! Everything I tried there was really good, but my favorite was the stuffed shells! The fresh focaccia and garlic oil they start you off with and replenish throughout your meal is aaaamazing. And they finish off each meal with complimentary fresh baked chocolate chip cookies. If this place wasn't so far from my house I would be here way too often and probably 15lbs heavier lol. I recommend! read more

What an incredible spot!! Walking in you're welcomed right away. We mentioned it was our first time at this restaurant and we were given fresh bread while we waited for a bread. They also challenge you to stop a stop watch right at 10.00 for the chance to win your dinner! We got 10.03! Our server Victor was so attentive and nice. We started with the mozzarella balls. Victor recommended rigatoni for our pasta and he was 100% right. The noodle gets sauce in crevice making it the perfect vessel for meaty sauces. We got the bolognese and the pink sauce. Both delicious but the pink sauce was hands down the best thing I've had! At the end Victor boxed up our left overs and gave us cookies to go! The kind staff, close tables, and welcoming atmosphere makes you feel like you're at home. 10/10 would recommend! read more

We came to Mama D's for a birthday celebration and had such a warm, welcoming experience. The staff was incredibly friendly and made us feel right at home.

We also tried fried ravioli which was our favorite, seriously the best thing we had! They even sang happy birthday and brought out a bubble machine and cookies which made the celebration extra special, especially with kids!

Delicious food! And attentive service. We came on a Saturday night around 7pm and got the last open table. The waiter was clearly busy, so it would be a while in between when he stopped by, but he made sure to take care of us! The free bread they serve is delicious. Ordered the chopped salad to start, which was the only thing I'd skip in the future. For entrees, we got the famous pink sauce, the lasagna, and the eggplant parmesan. Because the food was taking a bit, they brought us minestrone soup and pizza slices, which was delicious (and so kind of them).
