    Roasted potatoes
    Leonard D.

    Great service, great food and great wine selection ! Our favorite Italian restaurant when we stay in Tribeca.

    Booked a reservation - table wasn't ready so we sat at the bar. The bartender was so nice and accommodating. Fernando is the BEST server. So sweet and patient. The service is great - everyone is open to answering questions and very hands-on in curating the best dining experience. I had the tuna, the beef, rigatoni (bolognese) and a plain Margherita pizza.. yum. Portions can be deceiving - they are small but mighty! And they might have the best Tiramisu in Manhattan.

    5 star prices with 4.5 star service and flavor. Interior is okay though can feel a bit too cozy. Service is great beginning to end and all the servers were kind and accommodating. Best dishes: truffle pizza and burrata with shrimp and mango salsa. The sundae is where it's at though. Don't sleep on salted caramel ice cream!

    Come a Capri Focaccia Al Tartufo! We also got the Brussels sprouts.  for dinner I had the cavatelli with crab meat- it was great!

    Absolutely loved this place! The food and service were both outstanding. Our waiter--who was from Mexico--made the experience even better with great conversation, thoughtful recommendations, and attentive service throughout the night (plus a complimentary dessert, which was such a nice touch). It's a beautiful spot and surprisingly busy for a Tuesday, which says a lot. I highly recommend it for a dinner with friends or family--you won't be disappointed.

    We arrived early and enjoyed a glass of wine outside, the place is so classy! Upstairs, we were seated by the window and loved the beautiful ambience. The wine was perfectly crisp, and the angel hair pasta was absolutely delicious. My favorite detail? A little stool just for my purse! Such a thoughtful touch you don't see in most restaurants. Can't wait to come back and make a reservation for next time!

    Amazing. Absolutely amazing. Every single dish we had was better than the next. We had the burrata, beef carpaccio, truffle pizza, branzino, pastas and steak. Not a single dish was anything less than spectacular. The wine our water recommended was wonderful and we ordered copious bottles. The service was some of the best I have ever had and the ambiance made my birthday dinner one of the best ever. Not a singular complaint about our experience at Mamo and we will all be back soon.

    We had a truly excellent experience this evening at Mamo. Giorgi was our host & amplified our hospitality experience to the next level. He gave us such specific care and service, it made our visit so special . We were offered some excellent white wine selections from Italy and my favorite, a Chablis from France, followed by some excellent recommended, starters and entrées. We particularly loved the Come a Capri & Melanzane alla parmigiana. The La nostra Cacio & Pepe is not to be missed & we will be dreaming about it until we return. The Polletto arrosto con verdure di stagione was excellent & I especially loved the vegetables served with it. The dessert menu looked excellent, and we indulged in the crème brûlée. It was excellent and we cannot wait to bring family and friends back. Thank you again for the wonderful staff at Mamo for making our visit so wonderful.

    Perfect Italian bread, olive oil nice and peppery, amazing salame, tapenade, a proper pepper mill

    A beautiful fall day, where to eat near Canal Street. We went around the corner at West Broadway and discovered Mamo. Small, lovely, friendly, reasonably priced...and spectacular food! The genial and efficient hostess offered a choice of seating. Near the bar at the back, we could admire the Italian-movie-themed art and the immaculate tables. Seared tuna included a lemon/olive oil dressing to die for. Perfect Italian bread with olive oil, tapenade and luscious Italian salame, followed by penne al'amatriciana for me and penne bolognese for my companion were generous and really yummy. The crispy bacon and smoky tomato sauce on my plate were amazing, the bolognese very creamy, both dishes well dressed with pecorino. We had no room for dessert, but either tiramisu or affogato would have been perfect. I'm looking for an excuse to travel downtown and return, the roast chicken is calling to me.

    The vibes in this place are amazing- as soon as you walk in you feel like you're in a luxury film with an old movie posters and candle lit staircase. The food was okay- I wasn't very impressed with the prices or the pastas (I had the bolognese) and it was OK. Fun for a birthday though (brought out a dessert with a sparkler)

    This place had such an awesome vibe especially for a date night. I went with my best girl friend so it was also perfect for a girls night. Food was good drinks were even better. Can't wait to return!

    Outside of being a Victoria secret model's headquarters this place is making its name in the city. It survived the pandemic and that's how long I've known about it and only tried it yesterday but deeply regretted not going sooner. I ordered the Julius salad it was very refreshing, the margarita pizza was cheesy soft and tasty so good I had to break my no soda rule and ordered a coke then I had the rigatoni that right there was very filling and saucy and damn good by the time I had dessert I felt like an Oompa Loompa .. the tiramisu was creaming powdery at the top and chilled like revenge. A guy named Fernando was the waiter he was very nice and attentive. At first I felt that Mamo is too busy for all of their customers but things turned around once we got seated. The decor gives Miami jr Cipriani downtown little sister I like it it's sexy upstairs is vibrant I like the music too. I'll definitely come back.

    I'm honestly shocked at how bad this establishment's service can be for "certain" customers. In light of Yelp's sudden interest in adhering to review guidelines, let me say that this is 100% my own words, with no ulterior motive other than to convey my awful experience at Mamo. Below are a few excerpts from my full review posted via photos. You can decide for yourself. ___ My husband and I dined with a friend at Mamo on Saturday March 29, 2025. "I was "greeted" by 2 ladies up front who told us in no uncertain terms that we did not have the right dress code, and that she would have to ask her manager if we would be "allowed" to dine. No smile, no hello, nothing." "As we waited patiently on the side to see what they came up with, we noticed very clearly that there were two other parties that were wearing sweatpants, slides and oversized baseball caps." "About 5 minutes later, 3 other girls who worked at the front came over and started giving us side eyes and whispering about scheduling. (Btw, why do you need 5 girls up front for check in?) It's obvious they were talking about us as all their eyes were on us." "At this point, it's PALPABLE how much they don't want us there. It would have been easier to tell us that we were late and there were no longer seating available on a Saturday night, totally acceptable." "To be fair, the food was excellent, with a fun flair of Italian homestyle cooking, including some delicious French inspired appetizers. The Amatriciana was on the saltier side, but the cocktails ended up being a great compliment to everything. Desserts were good too, nothing too sweet but the flavors were on-point. We ordered a total of 4 cocktails, 3 appetizers, 2 pastas, 1 main course and 1 dessert." "Clearly, double standards applied here, and it made us feel super uncomfortable as paying customers. "We left feeling extremely unwelcomed despite spending a good amount of money. I hate to leave bad reviews but this terrible experience was uncalled for." "Mamo's lack of basic service and SOPs for de-escalation, bad mannerism, unprofessionalism and inconsistencies justifies this negative review." "Additionally, judging by the way they treated us, I cannot help but conclude that Race was at play here. We were the only Asian table. Despite seeing a handful of minorities, the majority of customers were... white. " "If you have experienced discrimination before, you know." "Ultimately, Mamo gets a no-no from me. Making your customers feel guilty, confused and ashamed is simply beyond unprofessional. The unwarranted judgment and headache that comes with this place is not worth my time and money. "

    Had my birthday dinner here with friends solely because I needed to try their truffle. 10/10! So delicious and fresh. What a sexy and fun restaurant. Amazing service and delicious cocktails

    Is Mamo more of a brunch or dinner vibe?

    Hi Areeje, A simple answer it's both. Evenings are a lot more vibrant and energetic, while brunch/lunches are relaxing and perfect for catching up with your friends, family or business acquaintances. All the best. MAMO team

Cocktails are made with various types of rum and ingredients like grapefruit, maraschino, wormwood amaro, falernum, thyme, Assam tea, spiced lime, allspice, coconut, cucumber, nutmeg, sour orange. All the drinks keep with the tropical, fruity taste with a hint of spice. They are also broken up into categories (dry land = no alcohol, shallows = average amount of alcohol, and abyss (larger amounts of alcohol). The abyss section has some cocktails that are limited to two per customer. They have some bar bites like fried green tomatoes, shrimp toast, broiled oysters, ricotta, dumplings, sliders. I had the French fries with kimchi ranch, which were underwhelming. Bartenders were cool and kept the drinks coming. I got in immediately without an issue or a wait, but it was right after a snowstorm. I've seen some people struggle to get in or have a long wait.

Calling him a bartender almost feels like an understatement--he's a true cocktail craftsman. I was amazed watching him create drinks based simply on a few words or flavors we mentioned. It felt less like ordering a cocktail and more like collaborating on one. Of course, he also nailed the classics. The Clover Club and Gimlet were both perfectly executed, and my husband tried three different whiskey cocktails throughout the evening and loved every single one. The atmosphere is exactly what you hope for from a speakeasy: dark, intimate, and unassuming. The space is small, which adds to the experience, although the bar stools are definitely not designed for settling in for a three-hour hang (my only minor complaint). But honestly, that probably helps keep the experience moving and allows more people to enjoy this special spot. Attaboy is a great example of why NYC has such a legendary cocktail scene. The drinks, the craftsmanship, and the personal attention make it clear why this place gets so much attention. We'll absolutely be back.
