The real taste of Italy. You will never get wrong with this place. The food is the best, especially the pasta is rich in flavour, my plated was licked clean. The staff is very attentive and super friendly. The ambiance is very good. Best place to have a dinner, would definitely comeback and highly recommended. Thanks Mammas and Papas.

Exceptional Home-Style Italian! ???????? If you’re craving authentic, heartwarming Italian cooking, this place is an absolute gem. The food is rich in flavour, cooked with love, and truly reminds you of home-style family dining. The portions are incredibly generous — you will not leave hungry, and every dish bursts with freshness and authenticity. Even better, being served by a true Italian adds to the charm and makes the experience feel that much more genuine. If I lived locally, this would definitely be my weekly go-to spot! Highly recommend. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Extremely impressed with everything! Food was delicious, our waitress was wonderful, helpful and a beautiful smile. Wonderful experience and will definitely be back!

Amazing food and vibe! (Please remember to book, the queue is sooo long) Staff are all friendly and passionate, wonderful experience

Had a quick dinner here on a Friday, managed to squeeze into a 45 minute slot as we didn't make any reservation. Enjoyed a tasty pizza, fantastic Vongole pasta & some starters. Food is really good, so good that we pack another serving home.

We ordered Risotto Verdure, Pollo pasta, and Mama & Papa's Pizza. Everything is beyond good, I especially love the sauce of Pollo. With my standard of 5 stars, I would rate it 5.5 stars

This bustling restaurant was delicious! The pizza was freshly made and perfectly cheesed, the seafood casserole was huge and delicious, the seafood tasted fresh. The veal with fig was incredible - a great mix of sweet and savoury and was a great meal size. The staff were lovely and very attentive and the food service was quick, despite the busyness of the restaurant.

As a couple, we got the Bruschetta to start, the Lobster Spaghetti main and the veggie pasta. We had Tiramisu as a dessert. The starter was ok, but overpriced for what it is. The mains were good and tasty. The Tiramisu dessert was good. We shared a bottle of the Italian Pinot Grigio which was also nice. The service was good and the place was busy. The only downside is the fact that, though they advertise it, they charge a surcharge for card payments. This seems pretty stingy in this day and age where many places absorb these costs as 99% of people are using card now. Disappointing way of putting costs of doing business into the customer on top of the product cost.
