Richelle G.

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.

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.

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!

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.

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!

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)

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. "

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

Wow East Village! You have yourself a gem with Rake Wine Bar! We were waiting for our dinner…read morereservations and decided to stop in here for a pre-dinner drink and bite. I am SO glad we did. The vibe drew us in, they had great music bumpin from the outside, it looked lively and welcoming. Let me tell you- I would have skipped dinner and just stayed here all evening if it was my choice! But alas, my husband wanted a bit more to eat. But let me tell you- their knowledge of wine is PRISTINE! I can't tell you what white wine we had but they captured our tastes perfectly. We also shared a bruschetta and it was deliciouso! I love how friendly the staff was here and how unpretentious it all was. Next time we are in NYC- we will definitely make a point to come visit Rake!

My partner and I were looking for a great double date spot, so we decided to give Rake a try due to…read moreits relaxing vibe and multitude of bites we could share. First I'll start with the wine - we ended up trying all three happy hour wines (HH until 7), which the tables favorites were the white and we ended up getting a bottle to split once HH ended (but I really enjoyed the other vino verde option). It was incredibly refreshing and paired well with the many tinned fish options. As you'd expect - it's a pretty massive selection and there is bound to be a varietal and glass for any palate. It's also attached to a wine store - so it's fine to see all the bottles when peaking over. Food-wise - this is where it was hit or miss, they have a pretty extensive menu (with a whole tinned fish section!) and we ended up ordering the buratta on focaccia (buratta was excellent, focaccia was too dense for my tastes), mushroom truffle crostini (way too salty), the flatbread with sliced kielbasa (was fine), halloume (table favorite ), tinned sardines in lemon oil (delicious), tinned smoked trout (my favorite). Overall the four of us were very full at the end of the meal! The space itself felt very relaxing and rustic, and definitely got busier as the night went on (we got there at 6:50 and left around 9). The service was also fast and attentive - even for the amount of tables they were serving. Overall - I'd definitely go back again, and maybe just focus on the wine and another tinned fish selection!

I wanted to love Sunn's but overall it felt overrated…read more We ordered the banchan, chigae, bossam and tteokbokki. Starting with the positives -the banchan was solid across the board and really flavorful. That said, charging for banchan feels strange to me. Traditionally, it's complimentary, like bread at an Italian restaurant so that part didn't sit right but it was flavorful. The chigae was interesting and probably the standout dish. It had a unique flavor that reminded me of a mix between soondubu and dwenjang chigae which worked well. Unfortunately, the rest was a miss. The bossam was overly salty and didn't feel true to the dish. The tteokbokki was another disappointment -it came with cheese (which wasn't expected) and just fell flat overall. For the hype, I expected much more especially because I've eaten Korean food my whole life. The venue is small and the seats in the back are uncomfortable.

Food/drinks: delicious!! Everything was very good, I wouldn't get banchan again but the trout and…read moretofu soon dubu was worth it Atmosphere: cute!! This is definitely what you are paying for as well, Very cramped and close spacing but in a nice way Service: friendly but if you walk in you may have limited time to sit!

First off, the front door is mounted on flimsy plastic hinges, so every time someone opens it, it swings open violently and knocks the vase off the nearby table. The service was somehow even worse. When I was there on Tuesday, May 19th from 8-10 PM, there was exactly ONE bartender working the entire place -- both inside and outside -- and she was unbelievably inattentive. My date and I sat at the bar for TWENTY MINUTES before she even acknowledged us or asked if we wanted drinks. I literally had to call out "Excuse me" just to order a $25 quarter-filled glass of wine. Embarrassing all around. And when we were ready to leave and wanted the check, the female bartender working on Tuesday May 19th from 8-10 PM was busy standing in the corner chatting with someone instead of helping customers. I haven't seen someone move this slowly or care this little since the DMV. TO MANAGEMENT - this was absolutely horrible, embarrassing, and unprofessional service. Clean up your act, and hire a second or even a third bartender.
