    Crab cake special
    Gene W.

    For Father's day, we were near Manzanita on the Oregon Coast. Not a lot of choices for a good sit-down meal but this is a decent one. Big note! Check hours even on weekends, cuz many places close before 6 pm, but thankfully Mama Mia's closes at 8 or 9. Entrees ranged from $20 to $40, which might seem pricey but this is a tourist & seafood area. Most items were successful with the Italian selections being the best (e.g., meatballs, lasagne) & the seafood being meh. Service was slow but attentive and location was nicely situated along the riverfront. Desserts looked & smelled great but we were stuffed so we didn't partake. Dining area isn't large so on busy weekends, be prepared to wait for a table & your food.

    Pasta, breadsticks, shrimp, & cocktails

    We had the ceasar salad, four cheese pasta, the marionberry gimlet & the sizzling apple pie - all of which were delicious! The owner was kind and gave us wonderful service here - would definitely recommend if you're in the area :-)

    Bread sticks with cheese.

    Pizza was pretty good....7.8. The bread sticks were pretty much double the price to add cheese on top, could have done that at home. Also, automatically added gratuity on our to go order. Wasn't told about this so it was kind of a what the hell moment. We would have tipped but adding it and not telling us kinda sucks. Staff was super friendly, beautiful location and food was solid. I would recommend just be aware of automatic gratuity and skip adding cheese to your breadsticks.

    Outdoor patio next to river view

    Where do I start, this was a gem in Nehalem, Mama Mía , has a great outdoor patio that sits next to the river. Great view, even better food. We ordered a pizza and salad. The Pizza was the star, lots of veggies and meat, nice red sauce and a buttery crust. The Ceasar salads were ok. The drinks were great and the staff was Super friendly. They have a nice variety of Italian food, the portions looked ample. They have a nice wine list as well. I will be visiting this great spot again.

    Special of the night. Spicy prawns over rice pilaf

    Didn't get a photo of the crab cakes because we ate them too fast. They were packed with crab and fabulous! Both meals were top notch and the service was excellent. We would have ordered the apple pie dessert that many were eating but we were too full. Next time!

    Pizza and meat balls

    Paid 55 bucks for pizza and meat balls . Meat balls not bad but 14 dollars for 2 meats balls seems like a rip off to me . I asked for a medium pizza was charged for a large that was 32 bucks . Pizza that has no taste what so ever . Also was changed a 9 dollar tip ( I guess was for the to go order). I think I could have had better dinner if I bought a frozen pizza at Walmart

    Chef Debby lent me her own glasses...her service matches her food genius!

    The weekend where nearly nothing and yet things worked out better than if it had been planned. The list is long but it's summed up best by saying this trip in large part was centered around a specific restaurant I've been wanting to eat at for a couple years. Turns out they're closed...perhaps indefinitely. Had to call audible and ended up at Mama Mia's in Nehalem. At this point so many things had gone sideways so I was over the moon when Debby, the owner greeted me personally. After an amusing conversation, mid-beer no less she told me that I needed to go a few doors down to Buttercup for some of their homemade ice cream. Before I could protest she said that she would hold the ice cream in her freezer until the meal was over, so ice cream I did procure. I got a Vietnamese Coffee and a Pineapple Allspice...which were amazing. Essentially everything great you enjoy about homemade with really delicious and interesting flavors. Side note, forgot to mention I'd forgotten my glasses which makes menus fun so Debby offered me her own pair, hence the stylish selfie in stylish pink frames. When I get back to Mamas there is a custom app waiting at my place because Debby is an amazing chef. Not only was it fantastic, but she knew it was needed which shows how much she cares. I wish I got pictures of her spinach and herb lasagna because it was the best lasagna since I was last in Italy. In fact, lasagna isn't a favorite of mine but this was money. Finally, Debby gave solid breakfast recommendations for the next morning. One was Wanda's and the she said we also needed to check out Yolk just up the road because they had the best French toast. I consider myself a French Toast snob and theirs belongs on the Mt Rushmore. It has this sweet and crunchy exterior with the custard rich soft interior. As luck has it, it's Debby's birthday tomorrow so I hope you'll welcome me in wishing her a very happy birthday. Happy Birthday Not the weekend I planned, but the weekend I needed!

    Great food! Lasagna was delicious and very filling! Get a table by the window and enjoy a nice view of the river too.
