The decor of the restaurant was like an old Italian mother's home. As soon as I walked in the aroma of fresh herbs hit my senses. I started with the crab stuffed mushrooms and a Caesar salad. The mushrooms sat in a bed of vodka sauce. I literally scooped all the sauce up with the complimentary bread I was given because it was so good. My main dish was the lobster ravioli. This was one of the best dishes I've had in a while. It was very flavorful and also had the vodka sauce. This was my first time here at Mama Mia Too & I most definitely will be back. The service was great too. It seemed like a family run business for sure. Great job. The only thing I would say I would ask to improve (out of pure gluttony lol) would be a bigger portion size on the lobster ravioli dish. I know lobster is sold at a premium but I would pay extra for a bigger serving size of that. It's worth every penny. read more

This is a really cute Italian place near Main Street in Huntersville. In a historic house setting, beautiful atmosphere for quiet dinners. We had the salmon piccata and clam linguine. Both were nicely done and flavorful. Pre-entree bread was warm and fresh. Definitely recommend! read more

Have lived in Huntersville for years and never have gone to Mama Mia Too. So for Mother's Day we booked a reservation for 6pm. Despite vacant tables around us, we still were without our main dish after 7:00. Our appetizers arrived ~40 minutes after arrival, 3 mozzarella sticks ($12 for 3), and provided bread with butter packets, paid $5 for the roasted garlic herb dip to accompany our bread (not included/extra cost). Our main course order included 2 orders of chicken fettuccini Alfredo ($26/ea), Parpadella Bolognaise ($24) and a special of shrimp and scallop fettuccini with vodka sauce ($40!). Those that ate the chicken fettuccini Alfredo were unimpressed, stating the chicken was chewy, tasted boiled, and zero flavor. Would have preferred no chicken given the poor taste it added to the dish. The bolognaise was meh. The beef bits had a thawed from frozen taste that unfortunately dominated the dish. The pasta was cooked well. The special.... The list of specials was deep with 6 or 7 options. The server shared them from memory but did not offer prices of the dishes. It would be much better to have a list of dishes with prices for customers to know what they're getting. In this case, they were looking forward to shrimp and scallop pasta. The dish they received left them yearning for more protein unfortunately, and there was a single shrimp and a single scallop on a bed of soupy pasta. It's nice to be in a restored old home. However the dated furniture and carpet left us feeling a bit ick. We saw several chairs around us with screws nearly falling out of them so beware if you do go.... Check the chair's stability before sitting! We left disappointed after reading such rave reviews of how good the food and atmosphere is. Having just returned from 2 weeks in Italy, the food isn't as authentic as some boast about. read more

Called late on a Friday evening and asked if they could squeeze us in and the older Italian gentleman I spoke to was incredibly friendly and put me down. Now when we arrived, there was hardly anyone there and we were the only reservation.... so he led me astray letting me know he could squeeze me in but still, very nice! The inside is a little dated, but quaint and clean. We started with a Cesar salad, pasta fagioli soup, and their oil/garlic/vinegar dip for the bread. The Cesar was excellent though a little expensive for the size salad. The soup was outstanding! My wife loved the oil dip for the bread! For the mains we had chicken Parmesan and the clam pasta dish. I liked the Parmesan, would order it again tomorrow! My wife said the clam pasta was good, not as good as at the coast, but very tasty. Our server was efficient. He was nice and you could tell he was still learning . Overall we had a nice meal and will back! I was surprised it was not busier on a Friday evening. To those about to nosh, I salute you! read more

My daughter and I love this place. We stumbled upon it one Sunday evening and have been back twice since then. You feel like you're walking into your Nanas house from the moment you smell the roasted garlic and tomato sauce. It's a cozy historical spot with delicious food and friendly staff. Everything we've ordered we've loved, including the pasta dishes and eggplant rollatini. My daughters goes crazy for the pappardelle bolognese. All served with fresh hot Italian bread to soak up the sauce! Yum!!! We'll be back again soon to try more dishes!!! read more

Food was very good. I liked the old style Italian feel of the house. But we were there for our anniversary and didn't really get the "romantic experience "@ we were hoping for. Our waitress was distracted and didn't offer the nightly specials which we probably would have ordered. Also, other diners were placed nearby and often we could overhear conversations and children crying. Would definitely try it again but maybe request a more "private" setting. read more

Service was good I had the chicken soup ($10) it had an unusual after taste. Salmon was $35 (the waiter said it was the special of the day he failed to tell us the price ). I felt it is over priced. $10 wine, if you ask for more bread there's a $4 up charge. Needless to say it didn't seem to have the value of $88.00. The ambience is nice, friendly waiter, manager seemed quick to be offended when I mentioned the soup wasn't appealing. read more

We enjoyed a great Italian meal ... prepared carefully the old world way served with graciously. North Italian in preperation and ingredients. Very enjoyable and less overwhelming that southern Italian style. Enjoy the peaceful settings. read more

Amazing amazing food and service. My family and I have been coming for years. The owner is the sweetest and the staff is great. The house is super charming with a great family vibe. Absolutely recommend! We love the veal parm and zuppa de pesce. A MUST order is the pasta fagioli!!!!! I dream about this soup. read more

Best Italian food in the Charlotte area! The staff is incredibly kind and have very fast service. Such cozy atmosphere. The gnocchi gorgonzola is delicious!! read more

We first visited Mama Mia a number of years ago and had an ok experience. Our friends recently raved about it and we decided to try it again. unfortunately we had the same result as the last time. Don't get me wrong, the service was good. Our waitress was very nice and accommodating. The food however was just ok. I am sorry to say that there wasn't anything that really grabbed me. We started with the calamari and then I had the Zuppa Di Pesce and again it was just ok. I think that there are better options in the Charlotte area, even the Lake Norman area. read more

Great Italian food! Don't let the outdated interior and carpet scare you away! The flavors and dish are real here! And their service was really great. My husband and I have brought 2 groups of out of towners here and everyone love it! Definitely worth the try! My husband got the chicken parm and I had the pappardelle. Sooo good. My parents got the veal piccata and mushroom ravioli read more

Second time here. Set in a (guessing) 1890s house. Very nice Italian music playing at a reasonable level. Service is very friendly and very good, though that may be to lack of customers. Mind you, I am eating dinner at 6:00 on a Wednesday. The Ralph salad was a standard Italian but very well dressed. Not too much dressing. I have eaten here twice, and the pasta is good and cooked perfectly, but I don't think homemade. And I don't think they advertise that, so no offense. Highly recommend trying this place. read more

Fantastic family owned Italian restaurant! The service is always good, recommend reservations for the weekend/Friday evenings. The restaurant is in a historic house in Huntersville so the feel is very cozy and relaxed. The food is always great! Full of flavor, never have I had a bad meal here. The calamari and penne vodka are both incredible! read more

I'm visiting here from New York and ordered pizza and was absolutely delighted. It tasted like the pizzas of long ago where there was real sauce, real cheese and absolutely perfect crust. If I could give it more than five stars, I would - can't wait to come back and have it again. read more

The food is amazing. One of my most favorite places to get Italian. My favorite is their marinara sauce which is made fresh. The atmosphere in Huntersville is an old home and it has kind of a retro 1970s feel to it. The service is great. The food is great. We love it. read more

Loved the new look for the interior. Food and the service has improved. Last visit the pasta was over cooked. We had the Salmon special which was very good. read more

We had high hopes, as this restaurant has been in business for many years. They have all the standard Italian dinners and they were all solid but nothing special or exciting. read more

In town doing a training event so one of the sales guys and I decided to try a local pub. We didn't find it but did drive by Mama Mia Too and opted to stop in. Glad we did. Located in an old historic house when you walk in the front door you are greeted by one of the family members. We were taken to our table which would have been an old parlor in the original house. We were quickly given menus and the specials were explained. So many fine delicious sounding dishes the choice was very difficult. They were out of the Lobster ravioli so that narrowed it down. I opted for the scallop and linguine in a delicious garlic wine sauce. He had the scallop and shrimp in a decadent looking vodka sauce. The meal came with fresh bread which we used to sop up the sauces. Delicious. They also had Peroni in bottles. Not as good as on tap but still good. Sorry we were hungry and forgot to snap an pix. read more

appetizers waste of money - overpriced/under delivered. Caprese salad had roma grocery store tomatoes you would find in January, the chef should have been embarrassed to serve them. $5 for garlic infused olive oil and balsamic - balsamic missing and most nice Italian restaurants give you bread and infused olive oil. Main meals were good. Ambiance gross. There is a fine line between quaint/quirky and a dump. This place was a dump. Stains on the ceiling, chunks out of the wall, felt dirty, dessert was served on 2000 NYE plates. Service - our server got both appetizers wrong and a main dish wrong. Took forever to get his attention to get anything. Owner was very present but only to the few regulars who were there. He didn't acknowledge anyone else. I will continue to pay a little more for superior service and quality at Caruso's in Moorseville. read more

1- nice atmosphere (music, decoration and feel) 2- warm welcome from all the staff and someone who seemed to be the owner 3- the food was fresh and yummy. Suggestion: - the acoustic of the room we were in made it feel like everyone could hear your table conversation, so if you are looking for a more intimate/private space this may not be the best place. a solution for this is having less tables in the room read more

I have been to Mama Mia several times and have always had a good experience. However, last Friday I dined there with five friends of mine. When the bills arrived we each paid separately. Within a few minutes the waitress returned and announced in front of EVERYONE that one person in our group did not leave a tip and that she had been instructed by the MANAGER to let us know. I thought that was SO RUDE. In the first place, it's not mandatory to leave a tip and secondly, she had no idea WHY one person did not leave a tip. As it turns out, she simply thought it had been added as a service charge and had not correctly read her bill. But, at any rate it was very thoughtless to embarrass someone without a reason to do so. I've NEVER seen that done in a restaurant and it was very off-putting! Several of us probably won't go back so that $5.00 tip cost the restaurant to lose several customers. Being unkind is never the right approach and seeing our friend humiliated like that was so uncalled for. read more

I'm fairly sure this place has been open and in it's same location the entire time we've lived in the LKN area so, 18ish years. What I'm not fairly sure about is why we've never once eaten there, gotten to-go from there, etc. All that ignorant ignoring ended a week or so ago when I felt like Italian food and wanted to try someplace different. Yelped searched the topic and what do you know, Mama Mia Too hit my consciousness, finally. We to-go ordered a Caesar salad, Chicken Parmesan and Lobster Ravioli with Crabmeat Lobster Sauce, picked it up, drove it home and dug-in. Verdict #1... All three items were well prepared and delicious. Verdict #2... What a dummy I've been to have not tried MM Too until 2021 To the owner(s), my apologies. To myself, my apologies. Here's to the future and many more meals from/at Mama Mia Too! read more

If this is good Italian you must enjoy olive garden. The house itself is unappealing, service is ok. The quality is not there.

Restaurant is located in an old home, cozy ambiance. Appetizers and meals were all good. A little pricey for the ravioli with only 4. Over all would recommend . The Lemoncello cake was fantastic. Disappointed they didn't have Lasagna or Spaghetti and Meatballs on the menu. read more

First the good. The service and attention was good. Didn't have a reservation so got put a a bad table in the corner of an empty restaurant. The glacier app left us wondering what we ordered. The lasagna had no bechamel sauce and serving size was small. The ravioli was okay. Was truly hoping for more. read more

Chicken Alfredo was bland. The chicken was not seasoned at all. Took 30 minutes to get water, and drinks. I also paid $30 for four lobster raviolis. The service was horrible . I do not recommend this place at all. read more

Nice local joint. Will be back. Service was a little slow but I think they were short handed

Mama Mia Too was excellent. It's a cute old house with many small areas to dine in. My husband enjoyed his lobster ravioli. I had the scallop special which was excellent. As we didn't have a reservation they fit us in, which we appreciated. Service was attentive. read more

Overpriced. Better Italian places in area. I e. Antico. Food was good 7/10 but nothing special . Got charged $7 for a tiny side of pasta and $4 for extra bread. $85 dinner for one entree(chicken parm) , two appetizers and a glass of cheap wine. I did like the old school decor. Service ok. read more

We had our anniversary diner here and had a perfect time. Food was delicious, hot. I had the chicken piccata and my husband had the shrimp and scallops in vodka sauce. The salad was fresh and the chicken noodle soup I had was made from scratch. We ended the night with a slice of cheese cake and the team brewed a fresh pot of coffee. The atmosphere was relaxed and because it is in a house, there are multiple rooms which we liked. This is a labor of love for the family who owns Mama Mia Too, give it a try, you will not be disappointed! We had a reservation and they were ready for us, the owner was working the front door and assisting with our order, the service was terrific! read more

Nice venue but food was lacking side items and content. We had mussels and calamari as appetizer and the numbers included were smaller than accustomed too. Plus three of the mussels were EMPTY! Main dishes were flavorful as was the single side dish of marinara spaghetti noodles. Wait staff and service were good. Parking was ample. Would recommend reservations as it's a tight facility. read more

A long time favorite that after all these years, still does not disappoint. My son and his girlfriend came up from Atlanta over Labor Day and we enjoyed their stay. Ate out several times but on the last night, I wanted someplace that was nice and quite with great food and Mama Mia's in Huntersville came to mind. Back in the late 90's, we were at a meeting in Atlanta and when we were discussing where to go for dinner, one of our friends pointed out that one of the best Italian restaurant that they had found, was in our back yard. Had lived in Cornelius for about 3 years at this time and this place was only about a mile from where I worked in Huntersville. Needless to say, we went as soon as we got back from Atlanta and loved the place. My wife even through a surprise birthday party for me here although I will omit which one it was. One of our favorites and it did not disappoint this time either. Made reservations for 6 pm and because of traffic, were a few minutes late but no problem. The hostess promptly seated us. They have the restaurant broken up with curtains, drapes and other design elements into smaller more intimate spaces that take away from the overall size of the restaurant. It's a house or probably a mansion in it's day, probably built around the turn of the last century in what was then, downtown Huntersville. Completely restored and very tastefully decorated in period furniture in warm inviting colors and textures. We were seated in a nice alcove with a window view on the gardens and street. Our servers were there promptly and we did not want for service the rest of the evening. Several started out with wine and I must admit, they have a great selections of wines by the glass or the bottle. A rather large menu with many items to choose from including 5 veal dishes. My son's girlfriend chose the Lobster Ravioli while my son had the Veal Scallopini. My wife had the Veal Saltimbocco and I chose a Caprese Salad followed by Veal Parmesan. A few minutes later, the bread course arrived. Fresh baked bread, straight from the oven with plenty of butter and olive oil for dipping. A good start. The Caprese Salad arrived next and it was delicious although I will admit I have never had it served in a bowl. Normally presented on a plate with tomato and mozzarella alternating garnished with balsamic and basil. Still good and a good quality mozzarella. Dinner and the table fell silent as everyone proceeded to enjoy their dinner. Flavor, texture, presentation, atmosphere, service etc all worked together to make for a memorable dinner. Going to have to make a note to self. Dine here more often. read more

I like this place, there are far worse Italian restaurants around with better yelp ratings. My wife doesn't like the ambience, I don't care. The food is good, fresh with flavor. In my top five for Italian spots in the area. read more

Our first visit and they shared that they were understaffed. I didn't notice anything out of ordinary-- service was fast, staff was attentive and food didn't take any longer than usual. Warm bread and butter while we waited for dinner. I recommend the shrimp scampi. I would get a salad next time --Caesar was great read more

Went this evening with my husband and adult son and sorry to say was quite disappointed. We started with calamari and by the looks of it, it looked as though half the order was left in the kitchen it was so small. However after tasting it, we were glad it was as they were so rubbery we could barely chew them. So sorry I didn't send them back! Our main dishes came and we found them to be quite unremarkable. Unfortunately we were not impressed and found the food quite ordinary and pricey for what you got. read more

I would not go here! My husband and I came to this restaurant for our anniversary and that was not spoken to once. The service is terrible (owners son) and the food is way too overpriced. If you want good Italian food save your money and DO NOT go here. read more

The food was delicious. I had the salmon and my wife the scallops. Both were delicious. The wines, chianti and Merlot, were exquisite. The crème brûlée was magnificent. The service was great. Quick and courteous. 5 stars well deserved. I would recommend this place to anyone that wants to have a romantic dinner, in a great atmosphere, with delicious food and attentive service read more
