Mamma Mia is truly a gem in Hell’s Kitchen! . Their meatballs are rich and flavorful, the pasta is cooked to perfection, and every bite feels like home. This is a real family place - warm, welcoming, and full of heart. You can feel the love in every dish, especially knowing the owner (her name in Connie) is here every single day, greeting guests and making sure everything is just right. A proud spot for Hell’s Kitchen, and a place I’ll keep coming back to. Martin and Ann also doing good live music every weekends 🫶🏼

Looking for a decent Italian dish, I was greeted by friendly staff, and I was seated fast right along the street. Nice to watch and see the neighborhood, can't go wrong with some homemade meatballs and beer. Highly recommend this place!

Absolutely loved this place. The food, the wine and the Goin’ Local Duo playing live music made this a very memorable night.

Everything in New York is expensive. But, this restaurant, even though it is expensive, I can say that the experience was fabulous. The dishes were served very well, and the food was incredible. But, for me, the best thing was the atmosphere. It was extremely pleasant and, when I went, on a weekday, close to closing time, it was quite empty, so the experience was very good. Excellent place to go for dinner, for example. Very pleasant place.

Great service and atmosphere. To top if off food was amazing! I had the Mushroom chicken with mashed potatoes and vegetables.. Fantastic. Thank you to all the staff that made my experience unforgettable!

Amazing Italian eating in Midtown, right next to the theatre district (mention when you’re ordering if you’re catching a show that evening!). Every detail of this restaurant maintains the nostalgia of “old” New York (50+ years in the business AND family owned✨). The staff are warm, welcoming, and truly pay attention to the details.

Had the most amazing experience at this restaurant today. We just happened to walk in and were made to feel very welcome. The server was extremely nice and helpful and mindful of my kids allergies. We ordered the pasta bolognese and Chicken Marsala. Both tasted out of the world. We will be back to try more dishes. Highly recommend for the tasty food and amazing service.

Was out and about and found MamaMia on the way back to the hotel. The place was nice and cozy. Lasagna tasted great. The homemade bread was roasted to perfection. The cheese pizza also tasted great. Overall, it was a great little restaurant authentic to NYC. I will return to eat here. Great staff!!!

Started by the owner’s parents over 50 years ago as a one-window pizza shop, this establishment located on the southwest corner of 44th St in Hell’s Kitchen is where my partner and I decided on an early dinner Saturday night as first-timers before our Broadway show. Reservations were easily made via OpenTable. Upon arrival, we were greeted by the host at Mama Mia 44SW, who led us through an interior with vintage family pictures and a rustic vibe to a table by the window perfect for enjoying authentic food. The menu was fairly typical of most Italian venues. As a starter, we decided to share their lightly fried Zucchini Fritti with their marinara sauce. For our entree, we decided on Chicken 44 (sliced chicken, goat cheese, spinach, mushrooms in garlic & oil sauce) and Mushroom Chicken Breast with cream sauce, mashed potatoes & vegetables. We even saved room for dessert and got the chocolate temptation and mixed berry cake. Complimentary bread started our meal. Here it's all about the food. It was amazingly prepared with freshly ingredients, generous portions served hot, and full of slow-cooked flavors. Their marinara sauce was the star of this show, and we can’t wait when this will be available for patrons to take home. Our server was the owner, Connie, who made us feel like we had been there numerous times and was friendly and accommodating. Her staff was pleasant and helpful even when the restaurant was busy with a small party. The price was fair compared to other local Italian restaurants. This has been on my radar for a while, and I'm glad we finally made it. It’s a perfect location if one’s going to the theater and not a tourist trap, which we can recommend, and you’ll thank us.

Mama Mia is a must visit if you're in NYC, especially in what was known as Hell's Kitchen. It's a very intimate and cozy place to enjoy a good meal. The bar is small, but welcoming to sit at. For those who enjoy Italian good, Mama Mia hit's the spot. I recommend their Chicken Eggplant Rollatini Parmigiana. So delicious! They has some interesting drinks that start at $18, but not watered down. The prices are typical for NYC but if you're having a drink or two and an entree, you will probably end up paying over $60 (and that's not counting dessert). Mama Mia is one NYC restaurant that is a joy to have a meal at.

Food was cold and portions varied when we all ordered the same meal. Chicken was rubbery but pasta & sauce was good. Service on the slow side. The atmosphere was nice somewhat romantic vibe.

I've been here twice before seeing a show. Both times I entered around 5:45 and got my food quickly, which I appreciated because I needed out before 7. Unfortunately, no one wanted to bring me a check during both visits. I had to ask several staff members to pay for over 15 minutes and watch them all do several other tasks before finally being able to pay. I barely made my shows on time due to this, which was extremely disappointing. Decent food, not the best but also not the worst. I would not visit again if I need to be somewhere! I highly advise you go to other restaurants in the area if you need to catch a show.

Bland pasta dishes. I ordered the chicken 44, which is a recommended dish on the menu. It was good in a filling sense, but had no noticeable flavor. Others at the table ordered simple pasta dishe…

First of all, I have to say the food we had last night was delicious. Unfortunately, our experience was spoiled by the pushy tactics of our server. We were seated and served table water and given menus. We waited and waited and eventually after 20 minutes we asked if we could give our order. If it had been up to me, I would have left but my husband insisted we stay. There were only 3 other couples in so it wasn't because it was busy. The server recommended we had garlic bread because my lasagne would take 20 minutes but we declined, saying it would spoil my meal and I would be too full. The server then brought table bread which I said we didn't want but he wouldn't take it away and my husband ended up eating it. Then our food came and the server brought more bread which again I said we didn't want and again he insisted on leaving. True to form, my husband ate this aswell. When we had finished our meal, which as I said was absolutely delicious, the server offered us the dessert menu and even though we said we didn't want a dessert, he brought it and explained the various desserts. When the bill came it was $99 including charges for the unwanted (but eaten) bread, taxes and a tip, which if it had been up to me, I wouldn't have paid but my husband doesn't like conflict so wouldn't let me not pay. I felt 'ripped off'. To put things in perspective, my meal was $24 and my husbands $26 and I had a soda for $5 and he had a $9 beer. The bill left a very sour taste and spoiled the whole meal which was a shame because the food was so good.
