What a delightful authentic Italian experience. The staff were lovely and attentive. The food was delicious! We got the blue cheese gnocchi and chicken carbonara, and both sauces were so creamy. We also shared a pizza, which was a great choice - there was no skimping on ingredients. We will definitely be back here,
thanks for having us Mamma's!

Excellent food. Excellent service, lovely atmosphere.

Three of us went to Mamma's and the First Table option really suited as we were due at a theatre show at 7.30.
The staff were very pleasant and gave very good service, the food was very tasty and we didn't need to wait too long. Thank you very much for a delightful meal.

Beautiful food, bright, cheery staff on an dreadful windy night. Well done once again.

A lovely hidden place to spend your evening with loved ones and share an Italian meal. The atmosphere is neutral, simple and clean. The service is top notch, quick and attentive. And the food is wonderful. Highly recommend the Mamma Mia pizza. The large pizza is a great size for a very filling dinner meal

Top class service. Very friendly and helpful. Great Decor. And absolutely Fantastic Flavoursome food. A+++

Hot tasty food, especially the GF pasta with scallops & prawns.

Great food - recommend the chocolate lovers dessert! Friendly efficient service and nice atmosphere

Very enjoyable! Friendly and efficient too. Tastiest chicken carbonara I think I’ve had in Tauranga.

Beautiful meal, fantastic service. It is clear why this restaurant is rated #1.

Had a wonderful meal at Mamma's after participating in the Mt Maunganui Half Marathon event. We both had pasta which was really good and the desserts were also great. Very nice restaurant and the staff were lovely.

We had a lovely time with good food and friendly service.

The food was top notch. 4 of us shared one of each starter. Followed by a very tasty and well presented pasta dish, with a side fresh salad and vege. We all had something different and every dish was perfect and as described on the menu. The staff were excellent. We will definitely be back.

The friends we dined with enjoyed a steak which was not on the discounted menu and thoroughly enjoyed it! We had the Aracini Entree for the first time and ordered a second helping!

Fantastic meal! Our pastas and pizzas were delicious. Dessert was amazing as well. Steaks aren’t included with First Table but there is plenty of other options to choose from. We will definitely go back again! Loved it.

We enjoyed our meal at Mamma's. It was a great location, right by the Mount. The restaurant was clean and modern, the food yummy and the service prompt and helpful.

Great food and service,

An excellent experience. My husband loved his beef and pork ragout pasta and my seafood pasta was delicious also. Promptly served, well looked after, we are happy. Joy

Great little restaurant, nice Italian food and wine! We both had pasta which was great, with a yummy bruschetta to start. Service was good.

AMAZING! Will definitely be back. We ordered entree, mains, and deserts - all being fantastic. Highly recommend. Great service and delicious food

A very enjoyable evening with good food and service - all one can ask for. Thanks again.

Delicious pasta! Highly recommend

Very enjoyable meal, service was very efficient and friendly. Disappointing that eye fillets and Bocconcini are excluded for first table offer. Background music and atmosphere was excellent.

Great thanks.

Love everything about Mammas, a real favourite with our whole family. Bellissimo!

Lovely food and friendly enough staff. We did find the restaurant to be somewhat lacking in atmosphere. As a First Table I was surprised that none of the steak dishes were available, hence pizza n pasta. All 4 agreed we wont be returning.

Service was quick and friendly. The waitress was prompt at asking if you wanted to order anything, however, still gave you the space you needed. The food was well presented and taste great. Will be back again.

Lovely dining experience with great service. Warm, quiet and beautiful Italian food.

Lovely atmosphere and good food. Definitely did not leave hungry!

Cute little restaurant. The girls were lovely.
Good wine selection and the Barcelona beer was tasty.
Food was moreish and we will be going back.

We stepped straight into a wonderful, warm and friendly Italian atmosphere.
The music, the aroma and the lovely waitress was all a fantastic first impression.
We are a family of 4 with children aged 4 and 6. We have dietary restrictions (dairy) which can make dining out hard and a bit boring in terms of selection but not here!!
Our lovely waitress was very accommodating and it was no trouble for her to go back and forth the the kitchen to help to create a solution for our children's meals.
Also I noticed they have dairy free mozzarella and parmesan options for the pizza and pasta.
We ordered a selection of garlic bread, pizza bread also the olives to start.
All delicious and all dairy free.
My husband and I ordered Italian wine (Rosè and Chianti) absolutely gorgeous wine! And was lovely to see local Papas Kombucha on the menu which our children shared.
Our mains came out in great time, and they were gorgeous.
Bosciola, Ragu and the Chicken Carbonara which had been altered to be dairy free by using the tomato based sauce and the vegan parmesan.
We enjoyed the whole lot but we did think the Ragu would be slightly different which may be just down to our interpretation. It was more of what I would have called a bolognese but still totally delicious so not disappointing at all!
We had a lovely evening thank you and we will definitely be back! Our children absolutely adored their meals and there was no coaching needed by us in terms of getting them to eat which was a welcome change!!
Wonderful staff both on the floor and the in the kitchen. Thank you again!!

Excellent service and delicious food

Pleasant eatery. Friendly service

Really good food and great service. Nice location too.

From the get-go this was a great dining experience, from the Italian music, the delicious aroma of garlic and good food and the friendly Italian staff, Mammas restaurant is a winner! Our food was delicious, especially the prawn and scallop angel hair pasta, the sauce was divine! This restaurant is a must-try!

Entree was delicious I had the aracini the main was boring tasted like my bolognese and it wasn't what I expected and that was the ragu and service was ok

Had a really good experience at Mammas, the service was really friendly and prompt. Food extremely tasty and well seasoned - we enjoyed the caprese salad, olives were extremely good followed by the blue cheese and pear pizza and gnocchi. Portions were extremely generous.

Beautiful food

We have chosen the restaurant to celebrate our wedding anniversary. The food that we chose was excluded from the first table offer (all meat mains are) but worth the money. It was a busy night and with only one waitress the service was slow. Atmosphere was nice, casual with classical/Italian music in the background. Desserts were ok. We'll be back to try the pizzas and pastas.

Beautiful kai great service very quick. We ordered the shrimp and scallop pasta was so yummy definitely will order this again. Nga mihi

Beautiful food, really friendly staff without beng over the top, lovely setting even on a wet dreary night, heaters on and very cosy.

We'll definitely be back. Good food and good service.
