We…read morewere greeted by a personable, young hostess who informed us that there was a table available. Our server acknowledged us arriving and said she'd be over shortly, which she was. A generous glass of house red was only $10. Soup or salad comes with each entree; the soup of the day was seafood in a tomato-based broth. The salad was fresh. Our entree choices were pasta with a huge meatball and chicken cacciatore. The CC was fantastic. Peppers and onions and sauce was spicy and the boneless chicken was sautéd perfectly. The portion was enough for another meal. Bread and garlic butter, as well as water, was kept replenished. Another outstanding meal at a reasonable price.

Mckelvey was my bartender/server. She was sweet and welcoming. She mixed a terrific Negroni! Backpedaling a bit. I arrived at 6 and by the time my cocktail was in front of me there was a wait. I was disappointed with the apps.. all fried..I'm sure delish but I wasn't in the mood. I had Utica beans and kale (had the hot pepper symbol but not at all spicy ) $16 with a side meatball $6 and sausage $6. Portions were generous and the atmosphere was lively. Everything arrived quickly. Same for my bar mates. I will go back and request extra extra cherry peppers.. Oh! And get the lemon marscapone cake... worth every calorie!! Mange!

This was our Valentine's Day dinner experience near our lake house. Although this restaurant does…read morenot usually take reservations, they did for this particular Friday evening. When we arrived the place was packed, but sure enough, our table was waiting. First came water. Then our server Lydia came over to ask for our drink order. Because I was driving back home, I only wanted one craft beer for the evening. My wife was having wine. We each ordered the Caesar salad, which was half of a Romaine lettuce sliced lengthwise dressed with cheese and dressing. It was tasty, but a lot of food. I ordered the fra Diavlo seafood pasta with rigatoni. My wife had one of the specials, which looked a bit like beef on weck without the sesame seeds. Mine was good, but not all spicy like I was expecting. Hers was actually quite good. Both were loaded with garlic, which seems to be a staple of this place. Because it was a Friday evening and the place was packed, the noise level was quite high. This was especially true because behind me were two large tables of noisy diners. Once they left it was back to a more normal level. Our server Lydia was terrific. Overall staffing was quite good. Everyone seemed to be enjoying themselves. Well go back!

Ironically it was our first ever visit. Makes me leery of the other restaurants under the ownership group. If you aren't putting out your best effort you shouldn't be open.

There's not a lobby area so folks are funneled to the bar so there were others waiting there as well and it felt a bit like that was the idea to get people to start a tab there first. When we were seated it was at a table for 6 whilst we were 3 and right by the kitchen which didn't feel worth the wait or the trouble of making a reservation in advance. The bread basket was tasteless, cold and just had little butter cubes. The bottle of wine my husband chose they didn't have so we had to choose an alternate and the waiter needed to be reminded about our son's diet coke when he only brought the wine out and didn't come back with the soda. The wine glasses were never refilled. Meals were fine and good size portions. Our son is only a sophomore at Fisher so since the experience failed to impress I'm not sure if we'll opt to give it another try or not.

I recently visited Mamma G's for a mother-daughter lunch with my daughter. The restaurant itself…read morehas a very elegant, cozy atmosphere that made for a lovely setting. I ordered the pasta and shrimp special, which was absolutely delicious and full of flavor. Unfortunately, my daughter is vegetarian and ordered the Gnocchi Rossi, which was quite disappointing. It lacked flavor and was very bland compared to my meal. The biggest downside of our visit was the service. We were trying to enjoy some quality mother-daughter time together, but our waitress interrupted us constantly--almost every time we took a bite. We repeatedly assured her that everything was fine, yet she continued coming back to the table. At one point, while we were still actively eating, she asked if we were ready for boxes. When I said no, she replied, "Oh, okay, you're just taking your time." It definitely felt like we were being rushed rather than encouraged to relax and enjoy our meal. To top it off, we were never offered dessert or after-meal options. Despite feeling a bit rushed and annoyed by the constant interruptions, we still left a good tip because the waitress was working hard and remained polite. Overall, the food was a mixed experience, the atmosphere was wonderful, but the service made what should have been a relaxing mother-daughter lunch feel hurried.
