Our visit here to Mama Louise was wonderful! The service was impeccable. The food was absolutely delicious. This restaurant has been here for a very long time and we finally made it to have dinner. Thank you for a wonderful celebration! We will be back! read more

This a a review of their appetizer selection and quality. I'm a big fan of supporting local and this restaurant has a great chicken special dish. However I just ordered their egg rolls and calamari. (The calamari was recommended by the waitress on the phone since the selection was limited and I was looking for a recommendation). $20 later for a tiny portion of "Italian" egg rolls and tiny portion of calamari. Quality was awful. Hopefully they improve their selection range and quality. Until then do not order any appetizers. read more

Food is ok but charging 6% if I use a credit card? It's not that the 6% shouldn't be there, it's that you don't get a discount for paying with cash. When you see the prices, you will see they are equal or higher than other restaurants that DONT SURCHARGE. Their (cash) prices are high. Then you find out you get surcharged for paying with a credit card. AT END, THE OWNER IS GOUGING AND TAKING ADVANTAGE OF NICE PEOPLE. Not coming back. read more

I hate doing this, but wasn't really a fan. And maybe it wasn't the food. Because I actually loved the Chicken Parm and the Lasagna but the service really left me disappointed. The waiter didn't offer the warmest service I e ever gotten. He was actually quite rude. I'd try it again under different circumstances read more

Mama Louise was highly recommended by a friend. I had the Chicken Francaise. The dinner started with soup followed by a very fresh salad and then the entree. The meal was amazing and the service outstanding. I was able to meet the owner. He was very polite and it was quite obvious he has a lot of pride when it comes to his restaurant. They have been in business for 20+years. This says a lot for the owners and the food. I will most definitely become a regular. Thank you for the experience. read more

We had dinner and I Was really disappointed, starting for the food quality. We started with Bruschettas they were so-so, not authentic One, microwave food, and too much grease..Mozzarella are frozen, and the Ravioli were bad. Employee does not let us finish the plate and swing by more that 10 time trying to tale the plate out of the table. We felt like they want to kick us out. At the end the receipt you can't even read it. read more

Mama Louise - Receipt - Italian Near Me - Centennial, Colorado

I hadn't been here in a very long time, so I stopped in for takeout. They still have the really nice patio, so eat out there while the weather is good. The menu is pretty much what it has been, and that's a good thing - plenty of good choices there. You get soup (minestrone generally), salad (nothing fancy, just the basics) and a couple of garlic knots with your entree, so it's definitely a full meal. I'd say 3.5 stars overall, but I'm bumping it up to 4 because of the plaque next to the cashier/checkout window that has the growing list of their annual fantasy football league champions. Good to see that this is still going on, and hopefully that means the staff is staying and they have been able to keep everyone on board through the pandemic. This is a nice neighborhood place and I hope it stays around for a good long while. read more

Great service and I love the complimentary soup and bread!! I got the basic spaghetti and meatballs. One of the better in the immediate area. Decent flavor and quick friendly service. read more

Well I am back in town for training, and one of the stops that was a must, Mama Louise!!!!! Today I brought two more girlfriends with us to this restaurant, and they thought it was so amazing. I have uploaded pictures of my dinner for all to enjoy. If you are ever in town, you will not regret enjoying one amazing dinner here. Now let's talk a lil about the owners and staff. The owners are two very beautiful people inside and out. They are so genuine and very personable. They came and talked to us at our table. They were so excited to know we came from out of state just to enjoy their restaurant. The staff are just so amazing. Thank you mama Louise for making us feel at home, and having such an amazing atmosphere. We can't wait to see you again. read more

Great service, great food.You'll leave full. Small intimate location was nice. My family loves their pizza and this was the first time my mom had eaten inside and said she liked it as well. read more

This place is seriously underrated. The food is AMAZING and the staff is really nice. From the outside, it looks like just another pizza place but instead is nice and the patio has a great setup. We went on a Friday night, didn't need a reservation and even took our small child and it wasn't a problem. They had live (yet soothing) music and we we got plenty for our money. 10/10!! read more

The food was delicious and the service was impeccable! I definitely recommend this place!

Husband's favorite pizza (he thinks it's the sauce) Staff is friendly and the food is delicious with a good ambiance love the fountain in the background. read more

This place was across from my work place and I finally went and got a calzone and wow was it good! They stuffed that thing with so much cheese and meats it was definitely worth the money. It was a giant calzone too and there is no way one person could eat it. It was always packed there every night too and clearly for good reason. The owner is a super nice guy as well and takes care of the restaurant and the staff is amazing too. The place always smells amazing and I have heard nothing but great things from everyone else that has been there. I definitely will be coming back here because it's amazing! read more

This place has some amazing food! A great easy date night restaurant! We had the cheese ravioli and the pasta Alfredo and they were amazing! Highly recommend this place. read more

This is hands down the best little Italian restaurant I've been to in a long time and I can't wait to go back! The food was absolutely delicious, our waiter and the rest of the staff was delightful and the theme of this place is so cute! Everything is very authentic. read more

I enjoyed dinner here. I think one of my favorite things is that it wasn't loud and was a relaxed yet very nice place. It has an old-school Tuscan Italian vibe to it. The $5 house wine isn't worth it, worse than you'd think for $5. But it did it's job. I LOVE that all entrees come with soup and salad. It would've been nice to have known what kind of soup beforehand though. I got the eggplant rollatine to mix it up. Usually I'm not an eggplant fan, but this was fun to eat. The spaghetti was cooked perfectly. My mom got the half ravioli and half spaghetti with meatball. The spaghetti that came with hers with the homemade thick noodle. She enjoyed her meal. Our complaint was the same - the sauce was a bit too sweet for our liking. It almost tasted like foo much sugar was added in. The garlic knots were buttery and tasty. The service was attentive but a tad slow for the bill. It's a cute spot in a strip mall with big portions and a good atmosphere! read more

We have gone here a few times. The last visit was, by far, the worst. My daughter had a late concert. I'll just be honest, and admit, I did not want to really go out. However, she picked this place. We arrived around 7:30. We walked in and the hostest told us, "just so you know, we close at 8:00." I wanted to leave then. My husband insisted on staying. 22 dollar spaghetti? A sign that says ' we don't seat incomplete parties? Being told to leave as we arrive? Yeah, I wanted to leave. They got at least 150 bucks for this sorry excuse for a restaurant. I recommend Wood Paddle or Massimos. Mama Louise's is an overpriced place full of rude people. I will not go there again. Also, if you want to close at 730, just close at 730. What a joke. read more

For the most part, we enjoyed dining at Mama Louise Italian Restaurant. We were a bit surprised at their prices but later learned we were misinformed by other online websites. And while their prices were a bit high, this was offset by what's included. The entrees include soup, salad and fresh garlic knots. You'll not leave hungry but likely with a container of leftovers. Service was also good. Interestingly, my Italian wife wasn't fond of her rigatoni's marinara sauce but liked my Chicken Franchaise and fettuccine. I thought the marinara was good so a quick switch worked out fine. Frankly, we drove a half-hour or so to try the Franchaise and experience something new. If we were in the area again, we might stop by again to try some other dishes. Unfortunately, there are probably a couple dozen Italian restaurants much closer to us. However, if you're near Parker and Orchard Roads in Centennial, give them a try when you're in the mood for Italian cuisine. read more

Mama Louise is a solid 4 stars. Yelp has encouraged my husband and I to expand our horizons when it comes to our local restaurants. So when we wanted to eat out tonight we glanced at where we hadn't gone. Mama Lousie is in the corner of a strip mall off Orchard and Parker. It is a small space, but as you walk in you are wrapped up in its charm. Red & White checkered table clothes? Check! Dean Martin martin music wafting through the dining room? Check! Italian landscape photos? Check! We sat down and enjoyed excellent service from appetizer to entree. All entrees come with minestrone soup and a house salad (plus a garlic knot). All the food was fresh and homemade (maybe not my rigatoni noodles, but all else). The table near us also got a pizza that looked heavenly too. It is truly an excellent local establishment! read more

I wanted to try someplace "new" for lunch. Technically, I had been to this place once before (almost 10 years ago). I had been there with a group for dinner, and recalled it as being pretty good. The lunch sandwiches here come with a small bag of Lay's potato chips, and as others mentioned, this is a pretty uninspired offering. I went ahead and added a dinner salad to my meal. It was extremely basic. A base of iceberg lettuce (with one darker leaf) a slice of tomato, a pinch of shredded carrot, and one small slice of pepperoni. I had this with Italian dressing on the side. If you did a web search for a picture of a generic dinner salad, this would be it. After perusing the other reviews, I decided to try the "Old Fashioned Italian Grinder" sandwich. I was not happy with it at all. It was described on the menu as thinly sliced meatballs and sausage with marinara and cheese. Instead the meatballs and sausage were basically crumbled meat paste stewed with marinara. I described it to my waiter as trying to eat a "spaghetti sauce sandwich". He quickly offered to bring me something else and suggested the Meatball Sandwich or the Chicken Parm Sandwich. I went with the Meatball. Although they cut up the meatballs, there were big enough chunks to provide some texture. The flavor of the meatballs was decent, but not great. They were a bit bland and somewhat too soft. They also had (in my opinion) put too much marinara on the sandwich. The bread was okay, but the excess sauce made it very soggy. Service was good and prices were reasonable. If I had really enjoyed anything I had eaten this would be a 3-star review. I am very appreciative that they quickly made me a new sandwich (no questions asked). I would be willing to come back to try the pasta. read more

Mama Louise - Meatball sandwich for lunch - Italian Near Me - Centennial, Colorado

My food was mediocre. Minestrone was watery with very little ingredients. Italian restaurant with 3 choices of wine. Really? I left my earring and the hostess found it and put it away for me but not in plain sight. I was helping to find it at the hostess stand when the owner accosted me and insulted me and said no one knows where it is. The busboy knew exactly where it was hiding in a basket with some change on a shelf. The owner started basically screaming at me and threw me out telling me to never come back and not to have anyone else I know come either. He is a horrible bitter man and no one should spend any money at a place like that. How could customer service be this bad? read more

Great service and delicious food! The staff was on it! Filling waters right when they got empty, taking plates as soon as we were finished, etc. The garlic knots were AMAZING! Chicken parm was perfect! Not too breaded. Kids pizza slices are HUGE! It was our first time, and we will definitely be back! read more

We had a gift certificate here, a gift from our neighbors. We live about half a mile away but had never tried it. It was bustling when we got there! We were taken care of from the start, the kind servers were constantly refilling our drink and asking if we were ok. They were on it! Our meal (mine chicken florentine) included soup and salad and garlic knots-very generous portions. Delicious and just a fun place. I think this will be our new weekend neighborhood spot. The food was great, it was close, and it was a fun atmosphere. We really enjoyed it! read more

Amazing! This is favorite Italian restaurant and the place our out of town visitors ask to eat even they visit. Everything on the menu is great but we especially love the meatballs with homemade spaghetti noodles and the lemon chicken dish. It is a small and intimate dining room with great service. It's a must! read more

After many many years of being absent (ignoring) finally decided to check out this joint. What turned me off last time (over 5 years ago) was serving of soup that was not even cooked. on this visit, we were greeted by the owner and offered us the best table in the restaurant. Right next to the portrait of mama Louis. You know how other restaurants try to reserve 4 seaters for 4 and give tiny ones for two. Not him. Giving extra kudo for that! Fast forward, my salad was so so. Just plain looking one. chopped romaine lettuce kind. i guess better than the ice-burg or kinds you get premixed at local grocers. pasta soup was ok too. definitely homemade flavors. since we ordered garlic bread deluxe (ones with melted cheese), didn't get the garlic knots but was still looking forward to it. i ordered the linguine with clams and when i got the plate, it was kinda disappointing. I was expecting deep dish with lots of pasta, lots of actual shelled clams but came out on shallow dish with less of noodles and definitely no shelled clams. Actual menu description says tender chopped clams and can't argue about that. My expectation was quite different but it was still good. If I were to go back, leave out the starters, and definitely not order egg plant parmigiana and linguine with clams. read more

Look they may have decent food but I have a dear friend whos mother lost in earing who came to look for it only to have the owner scream at her for no reason. Tell her to never come back and to tell her friends to not come so here I am warning everyone read more

I wish I could tell you how their food is but unfortunately they don't want customers. My husband and I walked in to an empty restaurant (only one table occupied & no one waiting). We said we needed a table for 4 since our friends would be meeting us. We asked to be seated to have a cocktail & appetizer while we wait. Told we had to wait on cold concrete benches for them. They refused to seat us. It's apparent that they don't want customers and prefer to have wait staff standing around. Don't bother going! Went across the street to Lobo's, turned out to be MUCH better. read more

Wonderful food, and the service is excellent every time! Highly recommend this restaurant for good Italian food.

2 stars because the busser was awesome. Came with family in town and it was a bit awkward as they tried to split us on to separate tables for 8. No big deal, the manager in the yellow shirt eventually obliged and even helped us move the tables. Now comes our server. Older gentleman with glasses. We Ordered two bottles of wine to share and he came back forgetting which one. No big deal but he comes back with two glasses. I remind him I wanted two bottles and he says I didn't order them. He does come back with the correct two bottles but only three glasses and an attitude. Maybe he's having a bad day I don't know. Appetizers and salad came out quick enough and cleared quickly by an attentive support staff. I joked to one he should be serving. Calamari is like the fish sticks of calamari, but actually pretty good. Dressing, on point. Our entrees were decent but nothing special for the price tag. Portions smaller but the coursed soup and salad make up for it. If that's all I give em 4 stars and cut the guy a break. I don't know if it was the grumpiness about splitting the check, the harsh coaching about how we "should have let him know" (he brought the check without us having the opportunity to ask). But it was the first time I ever in my life questioned an auto gratuity. Moments later I'm doing the math in my head and even then realized It wasn't adding up. Yes, the manager refunded me the amount in question when I pointed it out, a feat that is more straightforward with an itemized receipt... but I still have to shave off a few stars. Places are short staffed right now, and we should all be patient. But this was a pricey meal and it felt like we were a bother. read more

Extremely attentive staff. Calming atmosphere. Delicious food. We used to come up from Colorado Springs to eat here.

Great atmosphere, delicious food, and decent service. Would like to see more wines added to the menu, but will not keep me away.

This place has awful service, manager attempted to deliver all of food instead of allowing the 4 young ladies working that evening help. Food wasn't especially good but the service was just terrible. read more

My wife and I went to this restaurant last night for dinner when we got to the restaurant we were promptly seated a young girl came to our table and asked if we wanted water she wasn't old enough to serve wine so at some point waiter came over and took our wine order got us wine dinner came out it was still was OK I'm gonna wasn't great dinner was it wasn't bad in anyway towards the end of the meal I mean every time you put a plate a soup bowl salad plate anything down I need it felt like the The bus girl would be been hovering over you and it felt like she was just wanting to get you done and get you out when dinner was done I mean we barely put our forks down and she had cleared the whole table and it wasn't two minutes later is it the waiter comes over and traps to check on the table looks like it felt like they wanted us out and that's not why we went there and based on their experience I won't go back read more

Update! We returned for takeout tonight and we waited 45 minutes for an order which, was suppose to take 15 minutes. We had to ask the Hostess "what happened to our order?" The Hostess replied "they dropped your food and are remaking the dish." Why couldn't the Hostess tell us they had an issue if, this is in fact what happened to our meal! Also, their FACEBOOK page has different prices (lower) than their in-house menu. When, I asked the Owner why the difference in menus. All he said, "Facebook is wrong!" Then, my comment would be close your Facebook account down as, this misleads customers. read more

We've driven past here for almost three years. Three years we'll never get back to eat some of the best Italian in this area. Seriously awesome food & great, attentive service. The only questionable part of the meal was the salad dressing. Both the ranch & italian were oddly sweet & tasted bottled but really in the whole scheme of things who cares. We will be back very soon. read more
