Mamma Mia's in Gilroy is very good. Pizza is fluffy and cheesy. Service is friendly and efficient. I'm here with kiddos and they want me to give 5 stars but alas that rating requires something extra special. The tables are topped with elegant but practical white paper so that you can feel better about spilling or writing with crayon. The ambiance is elevated but maintains a family friendly vibe. There is an outdoor seating area that has an elegantly long fireplace directly in the center. They offer standard Italian fair along with family take out and pizza. Take a date or take the kids. It will taste and feel good either way. read more

I strongly recommend this place when visiting Gilroy, Ca! The garlic city! This place has great customer service! They have a great variety of spirit drinks! The appetizers are delicious! I had the shrimp coconut and the calamari and they were espectacular! I also had their fettuccine and it was just great! The place is clean, warming, and spacious! Must come in to sit by the bar and enjoy a good drink. read more

1st time at the Gilroy restaurant. The lasagna was so salty I had them take it back and they still charged me for the lasagna. The eggplant was also bad tasting. The salad was good as well as the calamari. We spent over 200 and two dishes were not good and yet they did not remove them from the bill read more

Celebrated my son's college graduation at Mamma Mia, Gilroy. We made 7 pm reservations a month in advance, a great idea as they were completely booked the entire weekend. We had a party of 14. We were seated promptly indoors. Our server Irvin was amazing! We ordered individually; all dishes were brought out perfectly, including salads, appetizers, and drinks. Food was good, from lasagna, to pizzas, to pastas. Would highly recommend Mamma Mia's for a celebratory dinner or special night out! Thank you, Irvin!! read more

Disappointing service. Not only did this young guy damn near shove our child's plate in her face he never did a check back after we received our food nor did he refill our sodas , I'm sure he was pm first on and probably didn't care because the gentleman who left took our order and was nice but this younger male, yikes. We were the only table for awhile then others came and he completely neglected us, I get it sometimes we don't want to Serve ppl but come on it's not that hard. Especially when it's not busy at all. Of course when it's time to leave never seen faster service. read more

I have been to both the Gilroy and Morgan Hill locations. The Gilroy location is nothing like the other. Now I have only been here twice for private parties on the patio. Food - Caprice - was okay, tomatoes were not ripe yet Tortellini in a cream sauce - Can't go wrong here Potstickers - SPICY! I am so glad someone else tried them before me. They were covered in a chili sauce. Teriyaki Meatballs - this was just a bit odd Restaurant - The servers were amazing! The patio was beautiful. The fire in the middle was perfect. Each table also had a heat lamp. I thought I would be freezing, but it was great. A server was always by the door to open it for the guests. The gentleman at the bar/register was also beyond nice. read more

I am sad to have such a terrible review but.... the service is TERRIBLE! We waited 1 hour to get our check and that was the icing on the cake. It all started fine. Party of two at 5:00 on a Thursday. Ordered basic pasta dishes and non-bar related drinks. Food came very quickly and was fine but then we never saw a server again. I had to flag down someone to get a water refill. At 6:29 I texted my son to say we had asked for the check. We asked several passing staff members over the next hour. At 7:37 we finally were able to pay and leave. We have always gone to the Morgan Hill location. The food is consistent and the service is always pretty quick and very friendly. I was beyond disappointed with this entire experience and will not be going back. There are too many other restaurants to waste your time with this one. read more

Horrible service. We ordered drinks, food and appetizers and after 48 minutes our appetizers weren't even even at our table let alone the food so we ended up leaving starving. The waitress didn't even apologize, just said oh,OK. Definitely will not return. read more

Ok so the group wanted a more relaxed night with just good pizza... Mama Mia's delivered! There was one waitress for the whole place but she pulled it off. We never waited long, we never ran out. And everything cane out right and in good time! The cheese bred sucked! But that was the only bad thing we had... don't waste your money. I have fried artichoke hearts (being in Gilroy there are two things you have to eat while here... Garlic and artichoke) they were excellent! I also had the Church's choice pizza that was a mix of 3 meats and mushrooms... The crust was crispy and chewy all at once... the sauce wasn't too heavy or sweet, and the blend of sausage, pepperoni, and salami with the mushrooms was divine! The place is not fancy, they have a pretty good bar, and there is a ton of parking! A good spot that delivered exactly what we wanted... descent pizza... Accomplished! read more

I've been to Mama Mia's twice in the past two months. I was there on my birthday in January of 2024. Our server was Mia and she was wonderful. I enjoyed the meal and atmosphere. Today, February 25, 2024, is my daughter's birthday. We were there with a few of her friends. Our server, Anthony, was amazing. Mind you, my daughter is 11 years old and she and her friends were giggling and being silly. They had a great time and the food was so good. But I'm most pleased with the service. And the patience of the server. Thank you, Anthony! read more

We stopped by here due to bad traffic on way to 17 mile drive. But this was worth the stop. Great food, service was excellent, amazing menu options. They delivered food on time and price was reasonable too. We were a group of 7 and ambience was excellent. Would always stop here for my next South bay beach trips read more

The food and service was amazing!!! My husband and I each ordered a different special. I ordered a chicken, sausage veggie concoction with grilled polenta... wow sooo much flavor! It was enough for two. My husband ordered the prawn risotto and it was the best risotto we've ever had. Not heavy at all but very bright and flavorful. My kids ordered a bowl of butter noodles and it was enough to spilt between the two. The service was amazing, my husband must have had 20 ice teas and they kept the refills coming lol. My only reason for 4 stars instead of 5 was that the Air conditioning must have been broken... or maybe they don't have one? It was over 90 outside so it was pretty uncomfortable. Other than that... 5 stars all the way. read more

I never really cared for this places food or thought it was that great. They are extremely overpriced and they do not care about their customers. So we were looking at getting pizza an online it states that A cheese pizza is $20 and also that a pizza with four toppings is $20. When we called on the phone and ordered they said it was $58. My dad had asked the hostess why it's $58 if it should be $20 per pizza, so should be around $40. It states on the Internet it's $20 so how could it possibly be $18 extra. The girl said yeah we know. He said well then you need to fix it so people know your accurate prices. She said that she's not worried about it. read more

We Ordered 2 pizzas and they were delicious! I was very impressed how all personnel, cooks , had masks on during the Covid 19 pandemic. I planned on sending this 6 months ago and life went on. Since then we have been to Mama Mia's many times, in person, take out and with larger parties Each time we come home raving about the food, service and all around experience. We would give it the grade A...excellent! read more

I have come here for lunch a few times and have always been impressed by Mama Mia's! The restaurant is charming inside & out on the vine-covered patio, the food is delicious with generous portions, there is a wide selection of food and alcoholic drinks, and everyone working there has been very warm, kind and eager to give you a great dining experience. Definitely try Mama Mia's for excellent food, charming ambiance and wonderful people! read more

Service was very friendly. I ordered salmon with grilled vegetables and pasta. Was delicious. My husband ordered Chicken Fettuccine and he said it was the best he ever had. read more

Arrived 10 minutes before closing, but we were accommodated regardless. The menu is an eclectic; Italian with a Mediterranean twist. There are quite a few options. We ordered from the "create your own pasta" selection. The waiter served us warm bread with balsamic vinegar & olive oil for dipping; tasty combination. Because we arrived late we opted not to order an appetizer. I ordered spaghetti w/meatballs and meat sauce. Great choice, better than average portions. The only disappointment was their selection of beers; mostly heavy & Mexican choices. I love my Tecate... but not with Italian food. Service was good. I would go back again to try one of their Medi-Italian specialties. read more

Outdoor patio is awesome, especially when we find the right table in the shade with a view. La Perlina moscato delicious and my fave. Recently I enjoyed salmon rissotto here, juicy and flavorful. Portion was nice size. Strawberry cheesecake yummm. Great service because even though I was being annoying about getting the right table (I changed tables 3x) they were still super nice and helpful is why I give 5 stars. Will be returning asap. read more

I came here to celebrate a birthday dinner and it was such a great experience. This is a really nice restaurant for Gilroy, it's a fancy place with unique dishes, plus a lot of room for indoor and outdoor seating. My dish was the most popular one at our table: the tortellini with creamy tomato sauce. I even added meatballs to it which turned it into the perfect dish! It's a lot larger than it appears, and a very filling. The meatballs were slightly small but they put a lot on my plate. The linguini aglio pasta was pretty good but I thought it was slightly lacking in flavor. It did have a decent amount of vegetables and came with two large sausages on the side. The bruschetta was quite good but I could tell the tomatoes were either from a can or not completely fresh. There were multiple large, crunchy pieces of bread which I appreciated because there were several people at our table. We also ordered a large seafood soup which was huge and stuffed with a various clams, calamari, muscles, shrimp, and cooked fish. The broth was so good and creamy, almost curry-like with a very intense Italian flavors. I recommend this! We also ordered some creamy mushroom appetizer which is probably my favorite appetizer. It had small, whole mushrooms mixed in a cream of mushroom sauce that was great for dipping bread are eating by itself. This is the appetizer to beat! Desserts: tiramisu and cheesecake are rich and delicious. read more

Awesome restaurant, allowed service dogs! Also food quality was amazing! 100% recommended! read more

Ok. So I had to sit in general seating this time because my usual spot at the bar was unavailable. If I didn't already know they were understaffed, I do now. Service was horrible. Could not get a waiter to help me for the life of me. Its a problem. I looked around and could see the same frustration on other people's faces. I have been here for 30 minutes and no one has even said hi. I will say this though, Nicole and Manny are saving this place. They take the time to see if everything is ok regardless of where they are assigned for service. Its only because of them that I dont flat out 1 or 2 star this. Take care of the people that take care of your employees and recognize how awesome Nicole and Manny are. read more

Under normal circumstances I would probably rate this restaurant a 4 or maybe even a 5, however, the service and food that we just had tonight had to be about the worst we have had in all my times going here. I have come to restaurant about 10 different times. My wife, son and I arrived around 5PM and were just about the only customers inside the restaurant for dinner. It took about 10 minutes of us sitting for us to even get acknowledged by a waitress. Strike 1. In looking at the menu, I realized that my go-to meal was no longer on the menu. The waitress didn't seem to know which item I was talking about so I looked the item up on the Gilroy-Mama Mia online menu and it was there. She later came back to me and told me they were no longer serving that dish. My wife suggested that they remove the item on their online menu so not to confuse customers. I am really disappointed that they got rid of my go-to dish. Although a little irritated, I decided to go with a salad. My wife also ordered a salad and my son ordered chicken fingers and pasta. It took almost 50 minutes from the time we ordered our food for us to have it on our table. Meanwhile, a party of 3 who was seated after us and ordered after us had their food on their table for about 10 minutes at that point. Strike 2. The salad that I got was horrible and lacked any sort of flavor. Additionally, my sons meal was cold, as if it were sitting under a heat lamp for a while. At this point, my wife and I both were just irritated...we finished our food (I left half of mine on the plate), paid the bill and left. I am very disappointed at the lack of service and our overall experience at this restaurant. I don't think I will be going back anytime soon. I hate leaving bad reviews for local restaurants in Gilroy, as I can appreciate what it's like to own a small business, but I had no choice. read more

Stopped in for dinner after searching around Giroy for a good carb loading meal before the Tierra Bella Bike ride. I agree with some of the reviews that the prices are little high, but we stuck with Pizza and salads so that kept it pretty low. The pizza didn't make me dream of Brooklyn, but for Gilroy, CA it was darn good. Salads before the meals were good and the overal check wasn't too bad for 3 guys. If you want decent Italian and if you want a sit down pizza around this area seems like a good choice. read more

The restaurant itself is nice and welcoming...service was good, unfortunately our food wasn't. We ordered the chicken parmigiana and the pasta was cold and the chicken a little warm ...it took a while to get our food so it may have gotten cold. read more

I always order the lasagna and love it. The only thing negative thing about it is that it isn't a very big piece. (That's the ONLY reason for not giving 5 stars). As far as other meals, everything else seems to be great size portions, and usually have leftovers. Also, the bread they give you is fresh and warm! AND it comes with REALLY YUMMY balsamic vinegar mixed with stuff like small pieces of garlic, etc. etc. I always am sure to ask for extra since it's so yummy! This is definitely one of the BETTER Italian restaurants in Gilroy! If you actually ever get to eat inside again, the ambiance is very nice. The service is awesome. All around this place is GREAT! read more

I tried this place again because where I am staying is around the corner. The food and service is amazing. My food was to go and the to go was first class. Usable utensils and napkins that made you feeli like you were in the restaurant. We ordered food 3 times now while we are close by and have never been disappointed. You may not se this on the menu but they have amazing pizzas. My son who is a very picky eater can not get enough of their pepperoni pizza and even ate a bit of their salad with lime dressing. They most definitely show care with every meal. It is so appreciated in these times. Oh and the smoked salmon... well inordered the panini sandwich and it was AMAZING and generous. read more

Don't get the roasted pork tenderloin unless you enjoy extremely sweet, sauce drenched, mystery meat that costs $26. Create your own pasta was decent with huge portions but don't waste your money on the sausage. Another strange tasting crumbly textured mystery meat. Bread rolls were hard and tasted about 3 days old. Overall huge waste of money. read more

I don't know which Mama Mia's the other reviewers are talking about.. but here's our experience! My Father, Husband and I just finished dining here. The service was excellent and the food delicious! Before we even thought about ordering, we were served warm crusty bread with balsamic vinegar, olive oil and roasted garlic. For appetizers we ordered the calamari and the caprice salad. For our dinner selections, my Dad had the Linguine and Clams, my Husband had the Calabrese Fettuccine and I had the Gnocchi with Alfredo and Marinara sauce. (pink sauce) We ended our meal with a delicious, light, yet rich Chocolate Mousse. We all walked away completely satisfied and we definitely recommend Mama Mia's! read more

Delicious Italian food at an affordable/fair price I've been to 3 mama mia restaurant (campbell, Morgan hill, gilroy). I have to say my favorite one is the gilroy one. This is usually the restaurant we go to after golfing at Eagle Ridge golf course, so I've only been here on weekends. I've heard they have great lunch and dinner specials on weekdays. Anyway, My favorite is their osso bucco, which is braised lamb legs. Traditionally osso bucco is served braised a long time and you can eat the bone marrow too. The way this mama mia cook it is kind of like a lamb leg course, which is still extremely delicious and tender, they serve it with pasta and/or veges. Actually I should say my favorite is the bread and garlic they serve before the meal. I always ask for extra garlic. Their garlic is freshly chop instead of buying those pre-chop ones from costco! read more
