This place was awesome for our baby shower we attended the girl who served us in our room was excellent! The appetizer of shrimp and calamari was yummy yum and the Cesar salad was yummy. The garlic bread wasn't very garlicky. I found the lasagna kind of in the salty side. The chicken parm reminded me of chicken katsu with cheese and sauce. The tiramisu was very watery and not very good imo. However overall this place was great to have a private party. read more

Ambiance: A cozy, mellow, and aesthetic Italian restaurant with a full service bar and outside seating. Service: The service was lacking. No one was at the counter to present us a seat. We waited for 5 minutes on a rather empty night to be seated. Additionally, we weren't acknowledge for 10 minutes and our waited never gave us water even after we received our food. Another waiter noticed and quickly brought us water which was kind of them. Food: We ordered La Bella Del Bosco, the carbonara, and Fruitti De Mare. The salad was quite good. We loved the fatty pancetta balance d with the balsamic glaze. However the bread was served cold, the carbonara was dry and lacked flavor. The Fruitti De Mare had a generous portion of seafood and satisfied what I had in mind for the dish. read more

I am shocked that Mamma does not have a higher rating on Yelp. We had a proposal dinner here. [[HIGHLIGHT]]They have a lovely back room for reservations that we used.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I met two of their workers - Mia and Nicole - who were so pleasant to work with. Mia did a great job serving us the whole night for every need. [[HIGHLIGHT]]This restaurant fills a need we don't really have in Davis. It's great spot for a romantic date or staying a while with friends.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

Mamma Eatery - Linguini and clams - Italian Near Me - Davis, California

Food: 4/5 Service: 5/5 Ambiance: 4/5 Seating: 4/5 Parking: 3/5 Bathroom: 5/5 I would like to warn that I am not a Davis local and this was my first time visiting. I do plan on returning to try their High Noon Tea Service in the future! The Spaghetti Bolognese was alright; the red meat sauce was a bit watery/juicy at the bottom of the bowl. When they bring it out they grate a fresh block of parmesan on top for as much as you want (I asked for a lot cause I love cheese!). The noodles felt dry to me and paired with the wet sauce was an interesting combo, overall I would rate this dish a 3/5. The complimentary focaccia bread with oil & vinegar was deliciously warm and flavorful, a 5/5. Since I came on an early Sunday afternoon they were still serving brunch items so I ordered the Deep Fried Banana Pudding Fritters. In the first picture you can see they accidentally forgot the Crème Anglaise, when I mentioned they were very quick to take it back and fix it. The crème did make the fritters taste better as they were dry on their own. Despite being deep-fried the inside still had the bread pudding texture. Overall, a great sweet treat though I would've loved more Crème on top as it can be very dry and the Crème made it sweeter. I would rate this dish 4/5. Once you finish your meal they box your items for you in all eco-friendly containers. When I was greeted at the door by the hostess and had questions about the menu, the customer service was fantastic, 5/5. It really shown when they were apologetic and quick to fix the mistake with the Fritters too. Only free, street parking and in this area it's very busy and most if not all of the street parking is 2 Hours only (except Holidays & Sundays). [[HIGHLIGHT]]This is a very big place with lots of outdoor and indoor seating.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]The indoor seats are all hardwood with no cushions, pretty standard on the comfort-level, can be uncomfortable after sitting for a long while.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]There is music playing at a medium sound level so not too loud/hard to hear conversation.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]The ambiance is nice and casual to spend a good time with friends or family.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]The bathrooms are 5/5: I only went in the Women's restroom but it has 4 separate toilet stalls, very clean inside, and 3 sinks with a large mirror.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]The sinks have both hot or cold water, careful on the hot as it can get pretty scalding.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] There is a changing station and paper towels to dry your hands. I recommend going if you're looking for a place to sit down for awhile and enjoy a nice, warm meal. Overall 4/5. read more

Went to Mamma's for Mother's Day Brunch. A short but tasty brunch menu. Brioche Caramel French Toast, Seasonal Frittata and a "Messy Stack". Libations for over the age and lemonade for the little ones. Housed in the former City Hall, evokes the feel of an Italian Villa, lots of plaster and exposed wood. Large patio seating area with lots of greenery. Indoor seating around an expansive bar in the front and behind the bar seating backs up to a mb open kitchen. Wait staff friendly and efficient. Will definitely plan on a return visit for dinner. read more

Absolutely adored this Italian restaurant! The outdoor patio seating was beautiful and a great ambiance. Although I didn't get to seat inside, the infrastructure was interesting. The calamari app, salmon linguine, seafood pasta, and carbonara pasta was a 10/10. My drink was not my preference but no worries. Our server also was so sweet and gave spectacular service, she even served a cookie desert for my friends bday! Beware of parking though, on weekends it's tough finding close parking for this location. read more

We got wine and deserts. The service was friendly and attentive. The wine was subpar, the glasses we originally wanted were strictly bottle only. The free bread was unexpected but very yummy! We got the Panna Cotta, Crème Brûlée, and an Affogato. My favorite was the Panna Cotta. The crème brûlée and the Affogato were decent. I liked the additional espresso shots with the affogato. I would return for another Panna cotta. read more

Updated on 6.8.2024, jump from a 3.5 to 4.5 stars! Summary: Revisited Mamma Eatery for lunch on a Saturday. Food has improved, pasta texture is better, flavors were more robust. If you previosuly visited and were not impressed, it's worth a revisit! Flavors: Previously, I found the pasta a little bland and needed more salt. However, the flavors were much more robust during today's visit. Their menu appears to be slightly overhauled and was very pleased. During my visit I got the lamb pappardelle had good flavor without the gaminess you can find in lamb. Osso Bucco was not salty at all and had very good texture. Value: Good value for money when considering the ambiance of the restaurant. I think it's a great spot for a semi-casual get-together or date spot. As a ~190 pound male, I was quite full having one entre and one appetizer. Bread: They seem to have revamped their bread recipe. It was OK before but quite good now! Service: really good! Food took a little long to get out but service was very attentive. Our server (Makai? I think), was really great and attentive. I was really impressed that he caught that we left one of our personal forks (for the kids) on a plate he was taking away. It would've been a headache to come back and find it once it was taken away so I really appreciate it! Conclusion: if you tried it before and weren't impressed, I would say to come back and try again. If you haven't tried before and are looking for a semi-casual nice Italian food spot, come and give it a try! read more

I had drinks, appetizers, and an entree here with a couple friends. First time trying Mamma. We chose it mostly for the patio seating to enjoy the warmer weather. The location has the best patio seating in Davis to relax and chat. I was pretty pleased with my spritz and the appetizers. We got the calamari and the burrata cheese. There were large shrimp with the calamari, good portions for three people and fresh. The cheese was okay but I was good carb-loading sharing with others. Tomatoes were pale/not heirloom but they're also not in season. Curious if the quality of tomato would change once they are in season locally. As a gardener, the quality of the tomato makes or breaks caprese! I got a spicy pasta entry, can't recall the name. It was not worth it, both price and taste. Just a but uninteresting. I wish I had ordered another appetizer to share instead of the pasta dish. Overall, I would definitely come back for drinks and appetizers, but wouldn't stay for a full dinner/entree. Great ambiance, servers were attentive, and presentation was good. Glad to have the option in David amidst all the places that cater more to the students. read more

The start of the experience didn't start well . Nobody was at the hostess station and it was about a 10 minute wait. After that things got much better... Our waitress was very sweet and checked on us frequently. Our bread was served quickly and was quite delicious. Our appetizer was the burrata and was delicious. We both got salads and they were huge. One was shrimp and the other one was salmon protein on the Italian Farmhouse salad. The restaurant look cute with its red front door and wasn't too noisy. I would definitely return. read more

Mamma Eatery is an Italian restaurant that features a gorgeous (and enormous) patio as well as a beautiful interior to eat in. It's certainly a place to go to if you're looking for a beautiful evening out on the town. I came on a Sunday afternoon for some lunch with a party of 6. We had kids with us so we were able to see how Mamma is as a family restaurant. We had initially wanted to sit outside, but our party was a little too large for the outdoor section. I'm not sure if they had larger tables for a group of 6 outside, but most seemed to cap out at 4. It wasn't a problem though as the table we had inside was plenty large and was spacious. It was comfortable and the kids had plenty of room to spread themselves out. Mamma's menu does feature a little kids section that includes a nice pizza amongst a couple of other items. The pizza comes with a drink and a vanilla ice-cream for dessert. For a nice price the kids actually get quite a bit of food. I was pleasantly surprised at the quality of the kids pizza. All the adults wanted to dig into it too! As for the adults, we were given some complimentary bread with oil and balsamic. The bread was hot and fresh and we thoroughly enjoyed it. Unfortunately, our food did take a while to come out and I did notice that a large party seated well after us had gotten their food well ahead of us. That was a little bit of a bummer as we were hungry! But thankfully when the food did arrive it was very good. The veggie pizza my friend shared with me had a delightfully thin crust that was packed with flavor. I typically am not a veggie pizza guy, but this pizza had flavor for days. My main meal was a fusilli pasta dish. The flavor of the sauce was good as well as the portion, but I found the sauce to be a bit too watery for my liking. It wasn't terrible, but I expected a creamier texture than what was given to me. I mentioned that the kids portions were of a good size... well... so were the adult entrees. We definitely couldn't finish the dishes that we ordered because they were big portions. In all, Mamma is a fantastic restaurant that I'm sure I'll revisit again! read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]Lovely outdoor seating patio for a leisurely lunch with excellent service.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Ordered a fall salad full of fresh greens, pistachios, beets and pears - very tasty. We shared a small bowl of freshly made minestrone - which was not traditional but a very satisfying mix of vegetables and pasta. We might try a pizza next time - they looked delicious . read more

Quite amazing actually! Service and ambience great. Came here at night and it wasn't so busy. Everything was delicious although we definitely had our favs. If you're fond of white sauce, i recommend: Parma Chicken, Da Vinci Cod, Potato Salsiccia Pizza. If you're fond of the red sauce, i recommend: Milanese Chicken, which seems to be really popular here. Overall, would come back here again. The chili sauce they offer is just the perfect amount of spice! read more

While I enjoy the pasta and pizza, I come here more for the fall off the bone tender osso bucco which is the only pork shank dish featured regularly in local restaurants. The pesto crusted cod is another favorite. There is something for everyone in the large menu. The many shade trees and umbrellas make the large patio comfortable in the summer. The AC inside is at a minimum Arctic rated. read more

The place is BS, and actively dissuade people from coming to enjoy coffee and work despite being at 20% occupancy. I've been here a few times for dinner with friends and my partner, and I have also organized a few coffee and writing sessions with colleagues. The food here is overpriced and isn't to die for, the wine has cork particles, and the cups aren't always clean - but those alone do not warrant the 1 star. The behavior of the passive aggressive manager that runs the breakfast area is the reason for the 1 star. I organize a writing session with colleagues, and I thought we would be welcomed given how empty the place is every Friday morning. The desk seating is also very nice, and there are a few outlets for those with older computers that can't hold a charge. My friends and I often each get 1-3 drinks, and the pancakes look tempting. What deterred me were the manager's passive aggressive messaging against those who use this space to work. Here's a list. 1) The manager said the quiet part out loud when she boasted that they INTENTIONALLY turn off the WIFI to try to kick those who are working out. 2) The manager wanted us to leave even though the place was 80% empty, and has repeatedly said out loud (but did not actually tell us) that customers should be limited to 2 hours. We usually write for 3 hours, but fine - I'll get food elsewhere since you're being a jerk. There's also no signage anywhere in the store, nor were we ever told. 3) The manager came over to tell us to not plug into the outlet - claiming it would trip the machines in the back . Again, no signage. I gave the place multiple chances, and I am disappointed that a place that could use the customers is actively deterring paying customers. I would like to mention the rest of the staffs were incredibly kind, but the ridiculous attitude and BS policy means we will not be returning. read more

Checked out Mamma for our Italian craving.....Saturday evening, no reservation. We opted out for the outside seating and waited about 10 more minutes for an indoor table..30 mins total wait time. Seated closest to the pizza kitchen side.

So prepare to get a "doggie bag" We had the oso buck, the chicken milanesa, and the vodka chicken pasta. Also the bread was freshly baked and it was delicious.

The place looks amazing from outside. We walked in without reservations and were seated after waiting a few minutes. Service was okay. Considering it was not too crowded inside (maybe it was busy outside) they did not check on us much. Portions are smaller than I was expecting. But the food tasted great! The food tasted fresh and made to order. Very good flavor. Deducted one more star due to the super dirty vent on top of our table. I'm sure the air was blowing out to the room. They should clean the vent because it is directly on top of customer tables. We will be back to try other items. And this time sit away from the super dirty vent. read more

Service was very good, definitely better than a server would expect for a casual dine out experience. We encountered a little incident today but the servers handled it very well and topped it off of our bill.

Yes, we waited 40 minutes and got someone else's pizza. We complained to the waitress but received discrimination and no apology. She tried to get us to reheat it but we refused. Finally we got a new pizza. The waitress was arrogant and I regret eating in a racist restaurant! read more

Mamma Eatery - Waited 40 minutes for a cold, rubbery pizza!!! - Italian Near Me - Davis, California

It is not often that Davis invites new restaurants into this town that I have loved for 8 years. And it's not often that I send food back to the kitchen, feeling utterly disgusting by what was served to me. In fact I never have. Nor have I posted a 1 star review. My followers know that I haven't made a Yelp review in yearsafter praising so many local businesses and restaurants that I have come to love so dearly. I am finally breaking my silence because not to do so would be irresponsible. My girlfriend was excited to try Mamma because its menu advertised an authentic carbonara: pasta cooked in guanciale and tossed in seasoned egg yolks. It's tough to find good carbonara in the west (outside of my girlfriend's kitchen). Imagine our profound disappointment when we received a plate of dry, lukewarm pasta topped with applewood smoked bacon (the kind you can pick up for 5 bucks at a Safeway). Not any egg yolk in SIGHT. The Al Ragu over Penne was served with "beef" that looks like it was spooned out of a dog food can. Lukewarm and utterly appetite-killing. I could go on about miss-mixed drinks, flat "focaccia" served with costco salami, and the general atmosphere of the place. It's one thing to cut corners, it's another to try and trick the people of Davis into accepting reheated supermarket fare as authentic Italian food. I won't stand for it. read more

In my honest opinion, unbelievably mid. We were a large party and got seated pretty quickly - it was summer time in Davis so it's pretty dead. We were sat in the back near the fireplace oven and it was so hot in there LOL we had to request the AC to be turned on and they had to give us little fans. The server was sweet and put up with my rowdy friends - so I commend her. The food was so subpar. Well actually the Marg pizza was good but how hard is it to make tomato sauce and cheese and basil taste good. I ordered the lasagna and I was ... underwhelming. The lasagna pasta sheets were made in house and they were THICK im talking not thin as they should be. It tasted chewy was undercooked. The meat sauce was not bad - could have had more meat but good flavor overall. I tried my friends dish with the spaghetti + chicken and it was mehhhhh. However- I love how they put a piece of prosciutto on top of the chicken and then the sauce - it helped it stay crispy ! So smart. The atmosphere is super unique and quaint. But the food wasn't good enough to have me come back. read more

Came to Mamma again with a group of friends and we had an amazing experience! From the hospitality, location and most importantly the food, this place has it all. As a newer establishment in Davis I believe Mamma has great potential and is a great place to have dinner with your friends and family. They also have a large bistro area on the side for larger parties. I'm definitely going to keep Mamma in mind to host future parties/celebrations! 10/10 would recommend Mamma to anyone. read more

Friendly, fast service. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Nice indoor and outdoor space.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Good sized portions. Brussel sprouts were the best thing we ordered.

I really wanted to like the place. read more

Came to Mamma with a group of 15, so I will adjust my review accordingly. Came in on a Friday afternoon, around 12:45p. We were greeted promptly upon entering and shown to our table. Drink orders were taken quickly, all was fine. Now, this is where things get moderately interesting. - The menu was updated 2 days before we came (no one's fault, just needed to adjust our order). - Took a little while to get our drinks (large group, won't ding on that). - this place is long...a lot of space, all fine. Food, overall, 4/5, with caveat. Salmon: 5/5 - crispy skin, succulent and flavorful. - the salad that came with it was pretty awesome too. - I know I'm a big man, and the portion was fine, I would've liked an additional filet (not for $28 and some change) or more of the salad, not a ding, just a thought. Complementary bread and meat: 5/5 - bread was soft, oil and balsamic was nice. - it was free, I was hungry. Lemonade: 4.7/5 - not too sweet, very refreshing. Boston Cream Tart: ok...here's the thing. It was great, however, the portion size was small. It is still a 5/5, rich chocolate and creamy goodness. Everyone in my party appreciated the food, open floor seating, fancy dishes and, with the pasta dishes, large portions. I would return if for a function. A colleague swears by their blueberry muffins (she got one to go). read more

This restaurant is the perfect addition and is exactly what was missing in Downtown Davis. It has such a nice and bright atmosphere perfect for a cute date or a wine night at their bar inside. Their prices are unbeatable for the quality of the Italian food they're serving as well! We ordered the burrata to start and it came with free focaccia! The combination of the bread, peppers, burrata, and salami was absolutely perfect. It was full of flavor and the perfect way to start off our dinner. For entrees, we ordered the Boscaiola Penne Pasta and Michael's Pepperoni Pizza. The pasta tasted alright and the pasta sauce tasted very good but it was nothing too special that you couldn't find elsewhere. However, the pizza was amazing! I don't know how they made their pepperoni but it definitely made the pizza. For dessert, we ordered the panna cotta which came with raspberry sauce on top. It was the perfect combination. The dessert itself was a big portion yet tasted super light, so it was the perfect way to end our meal! Our server was super nice and always came over to make sure we enjoyed our food and had enough water too! Overall, I had a great time dining here and cannot wait to come back again! read more

SO glad we had a chance to visit Mamma. We sat at the bar, since it has been very busy this opening week, but the bar offers full food service, and was available immediately. The bartenders were super fun, talkative, and definitely knew what they were doing. But the food was the main event. I am a huge fan of thin crust pizza, but this pizza was still Some of the best I've had. It was freshly made, and if you have a table close enough you can even see the oven! The Quattro Formaggi cheese sauce for the pasta was unlike any I've ever had or made, and was absolutely mind-blowing. Flavorful, sharp, creamy and a slight tang from the Gorgonzola and Pecorino. I can't wait to come back and try their other dishes. My partner and I also agreed that the bar was a great setting for a slightly faster dinner, which was exactly what we wanted since we had tickets to a movie after. You still had a view of the restaurant, including the art, the kitchen (from a ways away), although I would also love to have a chance to sit outside on their patio - where they are growing their own tomato plants! Definitely on the higher end of price points in Davis, so not necessarily somewhere I have the financial ability to become a regular at. However it will be my new go to for special occasions, family dinners, and a nice drink out with friends. read more

Food and drink quality is very good. People are very friendly and helpful. Ambience is very pleasant and comfortable. They basically have 4 seating areas: the restaurant, the bar, the patio and the patio next to the bar. A problem is that for some reason they don't provide any service to the patio next to the bar, which really doesn't make sense. So if you want to sit over there, you have to order at the bar and the food choices are limited; they don't give you any napkins or anything else so I'm not really sure why they even bother having this area. It seems kind of ridiculous to set up an area of your restaurant but not provide any service to it. My reviews are very generous as anyone reading my reviews will see, but as nice as this place is, I really feel like they have to be called out on this issue. read more

I'd been eyeing Mamma for a while and finally decided to have dinner there. Unfortunately, it turned out to be a disappointment. The carbonara was probably the worst I've ever had--the egg was undercooked, making it runny and raw rather than creamy. The pancetta slices were far too thick, almost as if someone had just hacked at them with scissors (please see my photo for reference). I was especially surprised since this was one of the recommended items on the menu! While this might sound nitpicky, the presentation didn't help either--the entree was served in a small, almost kid-sized bowl. On a brighter note, their bread was excellent, and the service was pleasant. read more

What a lovely time at Mamma Eatery. Drinks at the bar first, until our table was ready. I loved the glass of Cabernet, & the chilled glass for my husband's beer. My food was delicious, starting with the house salad & the focaccia bread that I could dip in olive oil. The pear & pancetta pizza was wonderful, & I topped it off with chili oil. Yum.

Some of the best eggplant parm I've ever had! We had a lovely meal here for a big group of people. It started with antipasti vegetables and arancini, as well as bread. I wish I had snagged more than one of the arancini - they were super tasty. The next course was the afore-mentioned eggplant parm - so good! Great sauce, huge portion, just delicious. There was another course with a chicken dish and a salmon dish, but I was so stuffed from the eggplant parm I didn't try them. I heard great things, though. The service was excellent. There was a whole team for our group and they were very attentive. Very enjoyable, overall! read more

Been meaning to try this place out for a while, came in with my housemate today. I've always liked how the outdoor seating looks, very comfortable and pleasant. The inside of the restaurant is quite cozy! The server who seated us was incredibly friendly. I ordered the bolognese and my housemate ordered the vodka pasta and we ordered a caprese salad to share. The tomatoes were delicious, I do wish there was one mozzarella slice and basil leaf for every tomato, and a bit pricey at around $16. Our meal came with complimentary bread as well! Tasty, was not expecting it to be oily. I enjoyed the bolognese, the pasta had a good bite to it and the sauce was delicious, although for the price, the portions seemed a bit small. I would come again if I was feeling fancy and wanted to try something new! read more
