    Italian Sausage
    Trey T.

    I always saw this place when getting ice cream from across the street. Decided to try with my coworker and we were not disappointed at all. Our waitress was super friendly. My coworker got the baked haddock with I believe fettuccine Alfredo, and I got the Italian sausage with Alfredo spaghetti. The Italian sausage was normal, but the haddock was such a game changer. It was so soft and flavorful and the breading on top made it taste even better. The Alfredo sauce itself was so good, dare I say better than Cheesecake Factory. And the texture of the pasta was perfectly soft and bouncy. Definitely will try the other sauces and dishes.

    Christmas morning!

    Mama's serves consistent delicious Italian dishes especially lasagna and spaghetti with meatballs! Service staffs are friendly and quick. Prices are reasonable and stable! Go to Mama's when you're hungry!

    We had the most amazing time celebrating my love's birthday on our visit this time!t Mama's has become a special place for us! Julia was a gem of a waitress! They accommodated the 7 of us without a reservation. Their authentic, home made dishes warmed us like we were a part of the family! Thank you so much Mama's!

    yummy dessert
    Anshita S.

    This review is only for the dessert that we got to go. Wanted to try Grapenut Pudding but they were sold out, so ordered Mississippi mud pie slice instead. The flavor was amazing and the cake part was very fresh and not dry at all. However including tax we paid $7.48 which I think for a tiny piece of cake/pastry is a bit much. Would have returned to the restaurant but the price is just not worth it. 5 star to taste and 3 star to price.

    Chicken Broccoli Sauté

    I have always loved this place for a very long time but very disappointed now. The chicken broccoli sauté was nothing like it use to be. Spent $19 to the trash. The chicken is soggy and seems boiled, there was bones in the dish, loose consistency, nothing like I've had the past 10 years. Turned my stomach once I had bones in my mouth taking a bite of this pasta dish. I hate wasting money and I wish we just stayed home. Very disappointed and I feel this this should have been off my bill.

    Amazing Shrimp scampi !!! The toasted Ravioli was extremely light and delish. The cannoli.....Unbelievable.  My new go to!

    The servers (and chef!) here go above and beyond, and the food here is delicious and plentiful; the…read more"free sample" of kimchi my dad somehow ended up with after talking to the chef about vegan food or something was not only the only kimchi that my had ever liked, it was also vegan, due to the lack of anchovies. It was also, apparently, less salty, presumably for the same reason. The amount of kimchi in the "sample" was so plentiful as to almost fill up the mini cup we used for takeout. They have a large selection of vegetarian and vegan food, as well as some gluten free items, though they lack the staff and kitchen size to accommodate celiacs, so it's really more of use for people on elimination diets or with poor digestive capabilities. The owner had prior training in Italian cuisine, which is the reason such food is on the menu, and while neither my father nor I had occasion to try it, it is apparently a passion of the chef's, and the shared discussion of their mutual interest in Italian cooking may be the reason my father was given a free "sample" of kimchi, which was larger than the paid order of kimchi at most other restaurants. The food portions, in general, are massive, with the leftovers of an order of wonton soup not fitting in a to-go canister, with other orders being similarly large. Their jasmine tea is unusual for its slight fruity flavor, and ability to "overbrew" without becoming bitter, instead maintaining its delicate flavor. Each table has condiments, which in addition to including the "normal" chili crisp, and fish sauce often found at Asian restaurants that provide table condiments, have the more western pepper grinder, as well as garlic salt. Curiously, there is no "normal" salt as often found at western restaurants, though bottles of sriracha are found at every table. Perhaps the garlic salt and sriracha are the restaurant's "unique twist"?

    Still in my rotation, and I still mostly stick with the sizzling hot items, alternating among…read morechicken, shrimp, and fish. Still excellent, still sweet (though now more noticeably spicy too), and still important to remind that the dishes here are not necessarily attempting authentic cuisine of specific regions (even though specific dishes are named), but more of a freestyle approach. The wings have improved in recent visits. More plump, more crisp, more juice, more flavor. Still good value. Still a little weak on the service (more about being young, unfocused and lacking initiative than anything approaching rudeness). Still highly recommended.

    Called Tuesday, asked for a table for six on the patio for Saturday night. Was told, "we can't…read moreguarantee you outside". Sweetie, it's Tuesday, you put my name on one of those tables NOW. Jeez. Anyway. PRO-Arrived with the Mondellos & the Haskells & were seated OUTSIDE right away. Thank you. Gorgeous night, fire pits roaring away. Our waitress was very nice & prompt. We all ordered drinks & the boys ordered the special "Lobster Bisque" appetizer. Ladies had huge, good cesear salads. Boys happy to see the Lobster Bisque actually had a couple chunks of lobster in it, not usual. So yay! The Haskells got the stuffed haddock special which was large & tasty. They both liked it alot. I got an excellent shrimp scampi over angel hair. Took 1/2 home. Mrs. M got the Pesto Shrimp special, which she liked & Mr. J got the very good (he raved) bolognaise over pasta. Dessert was creme brule for all but Mr. C & I. Again, it was really good. CON- Ward ordered the chicken picatta, which as last time, came over MASHED POTATOES. HUH. I find this SO weird. He liked the chicken, the potatoes, not so much. He asked if they had rice, nope. Just risotto. He did not ask if it could come over pasta (like at a normal place), which is what I would have done. He ate the chicken & mixed veggies. Left the soggy potatoes. SO- Most of us really enjoyed our food alot. Drinks were good & our waitress kept them & the water glasses full. Was an enjoyable meal. Bill was hefty (we all had two drinks each & soup to nuts, so...) over $220 was our share with the tip. I'd go back tomorrow, Ward says nope. Just ok overall in his opinion. But hey, if you don't mind the slightly higher prices, go check it out. Ask to sit outside if it's nice. The view over the golf course is nice & the fire pits are fun.

    My third visit confirmed my impressions from the first two. The food just isn't very good and the…read moreservice is slow. Not that I minded spending 3 hours dining - it was 6 of us catching up - but it was more about the timing, and not being able to get service at the times we needed it. Our party had reserved a very nice window table, overlooking the hilltop golf course and supposedly with distant views of Boston, though I couldn't spot it. Our waitress was perfectly fine though obviously overworked. Not enough staff to cover this large dining room. It took a surprisingly long time to get our drinks. The slowness continued throughout the meal, and one of my companions had to drink his dirty martini "clean", the blue cheese-stuffed olives he asked for arriving too late. We ordered three appetizers for sharing: Antipasto alla Italiana, Meatball Trio, and Steamed Mussels. The Antipasto, an assortment of Italian meats and cheeses was oddly served as a "tower": the prosciutto draped over a metal frame like Irish Moss on a live oak, the blob of burrata on the top like a UFO had just landed in the treetop. Clever, or bizarre? I say the latter. The other meats were laid out flat on the base, hard to pick up. This dish was not at all easy for sharing, though it was clearly intended for that. It was heavy on the meats, with not enough cheeses or veggies. A more balanced selection would likely permit a lower cost as well. I considered the $33 price, the highest by far of their appetizers, severely overpriced. The steamed mussels were very disappointing. Tiny, not much bigger across than a nickel! The broth, supposedly of white wine, garlic, preserved lemons, capers, red pepper, and fennel, tasted of little more than salt. When I could access it that is. This dish was served in a small bowl with high sides so the liquid couldn't be reached until most of the mussel shells were removed first. And the garlic bread? Not garlicky at all, and burnt and bitter, not grilled. The third app, the meatball trio, was quite good. At least the meatballs were. As for the marinara sauce, read on. My entree was Veal Parmigiana. Another disappointment. The veal was dry and overcooked. The spaghetti was fine. But the marinara? I have literally never had worse! No bright tangy tomato flavor, no detectable garlic, basil, or other herbs and spices. So bland. And something "off" about it, like they added cream or something? Just wow. I finished the veal, but barely touched the spaghetti and didn't bother to take any home. If I had liked it there wouldn't have been much to take home anyway. The portion was on the small side compared to parmigiana entrees elsewhere. How to finish off a mediocre meal? How about a mediocre chocolate tart? Rice-flour crust, with vanilla gelato, whipped cream, and sea salt chocolate ganache. Just as dull as can be. The ganache tasted sweet but not particularly chocolatey. The crust was just sweet and crumbly with no flavor of its own. I suppose the rice flour was so it could be gluten-free but it didn't work. The gelato was ok. And the espresso I got with it was very good, though very expensive at $7. I should know better than to eat at a golf club restaurant. But it's Dracut, and not much around, our friends live close by - and they seem to like it - so it probably won't be the last time. But I won't be repeating the mistakes of this visit. I'll try all different things next time. But they could be so much better if they only tried!

OK so we have been waiting for this place to open for awhile, then once it did we got busy with life and now I finally got a chance to pop in on the 5th of July. I was greeted by a man who I assume is the owner, if not at least the manager. I just stopped in to get one Arancini which I think is one of the things they are known for. Almost immediately the gentleman talks me into a broccoli rabe, so I get that and what I believe was meat and peas. The broccoli was okay, probably not something I would order again...but the meat and peas was outstanding. Def would get again! While I was there I saw they had eggplant parm...which I love, so I figure we could try that as well-and I am glad I did. This was amazing. They serve it with pasta and I have to be honest, I wasn't blown away by there sauce...probably sweeter than I prefer, but with the eggplant it's great...just wouldn't get a pasta and sauce here. The place is very clean, there were no other customers so service was insanely fast. They have good parking (as long as it doesn't get too busy). Overall I left satisfied. I guess I will note, things, to me at least, seem a little more expensive for what you get...but I do know that's a function of the times we are living in and the cost of opening a new business, but I do think it deserves being mentioned.
