Mama Mia's

Quite possibly one of the best Italian places I have been to. Friendly staff, bring your own wine with only a $5 corking fee. I had the bruschetta and a spicy sausage and fennel pasta (the name escapes me now). Very authentic, even their classic chicken Alfredo was phenomenal! Highly recommend this place!

Excellent, authentic Italian food! The meatballs were huge, soft, and flavorful. The pizza is terrific. The mozzarella sticks were the best we ever had, fresh mozzarella, not frozen sticks. And the entrees were extremely tasty and large portioned. The prices were reasonable too. This was our first time here, and we'll definitely be back!

We have been searching for a great hole in the wall Italian place in Nashville and this is it. I had read some mixed reviews about the service, but I am happy to say it was great. I don't know how long we waited for our food but it was less than 30 minutes. And frankly we didn't care because you can BYOB and for a $5 corking charge, you can enjoy a bottle of wine while you wait for your food. It was lovely inside and the food was everything I was hoping for. I heard angels singing when as I ate the tiramisu.

This unassuming Italian joint is the absolute best Italian food Nashville has to offer. Don’t be fooled by the location, Mamma Mia’s has long been my only option for quality and authentic Italian eats in this city. They’re family owned and operated, too, which I love. The service is top-notch, and while the prices are a little high, it is worth every penny because they give you generous portions and I’ve never ordered anything that wasn’t absolutely delicious. The marinara sauce is so good I could eat it like a soup. Meatballs and bruschetta are amazing. I am always torn between wanting to constantly promote their business and also wanting to keep them my little secret because this place really is the best kept secret in Nashville. I love the BYOB aspect, too. There’s a liquor store conveniently located in the plaza next door, so we always grab a bottle of wine before heading over. In a city where all these shiny new restaurants are opening, it’s comforting to still have treasures like Mamma Mia’s in our backyard. I hope it stays that way!
