Mamma's Restaurant

Wow what an amazing place...the food and service was second to none. We had the chicken tenderloins, which was delicious, and the creme brulee which was the best I have ever tasted. Our waiting staff were very attentive.
I have already recommended Mamma's restaurant to family and friends, and we will definitely be back.

We loved every item that we ordered from the menu. The Arancini, warm olives, polenta chips, and the selection os pasta dishes. We also tried a couple of wines from the compact wine list, both were nice. We have no hesitation in recommending this place for a fantastic meal.

A great find! An Italian restaurant that can confidently deal with dietary requirements (gluten free/dairy free). Enjoyed a vegan gluten free hawaiian pizza. Then the Ragu for mains. Both were really nice. Thank you for understanding dietary requirements and for making it easy to order and hence enjoy a meal out. Wish others could do it as well.

Mamma's restaurant was literally the best place I have ever dined. The food was exquisite and the service was great. It was better than I could have imagined. For being the best food I have ever ordered, it was also very affordable! We were all blown away with our experience and I can't wait for my next opportunity to dine there.

The food was amazing we loved everything we had . Service was great. 100 percent Recommended.

Excellent experience, fantastic menu and delicious food. I’ll definitely come back.

LOVE THIS PLACE! Food is amazing, beautiful atmosphere and staff are so friendly. Best Italian restaurant in town!

Our first time using first table and our first time eating at Mama’s. We’re extremely impressed with the first table concept and the food and service at Mama’s. Mama’s is a lovely clean well presented restaurant with great food and service. Will definitely be back.

The food, service and look, feel and cleanliness of the restaurant were all excellent! Highly recommended!

We took another couple with us to Mammas to enjoy a fabulous meal! The service is always efficient and friendly and the flavours of the authentic Italian food is of course the very best part!

Another great meal at Mamma's. Delicious and piping hot always a pleasure to eat here.

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

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.

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.

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

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

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.

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!!

What a wonderful surprise this dining experience was. From the moment we walked through the door to the end of the night, we enjoyed every minute. The waiting staff were friendly and efficient, the food was fantastic (we ate far too much, it was so good!) and the atmosphere (decor and music) made us feel like we'd been transported to Italy. Thank you so much for a wonderful dining experience.

Mammas Restaurant was fantastic , We hadn't been to a Italian Restaurant for ages it was so inspiring, heaps of choices on the Menu, I settled for the Vegetarian pizza, with side salad my Husband had a Pasta dish , both were so delicious . Lovely Interior very Authentic a Great Place for Dining. The service was wonderful friendly, cheerful and so prompt with everything couldn't fault the over all experience 100%.

An amazing restaurant to visit while you’re at the Mount! We were up from Wellington and came across it through the First table website. Wish we had known about it during previous visits but now we know and will go whenever we’re up that way. Fantastic, speedy service and delicious food! We have a wild 3 year old who can be a bit fussy. She ate heaps and absolutely loved it. We sat outside which was a really nice spot, cool atmosphere and nice to see the Mount in the background. Can’t say enough about this place! Awesome find and recommend to all!

Three of us went along for dinner. We started with garlic bread which was the best I have tasted in years. Followed by two steaks and a Ravioli dish, all of which was perfectly cooked and tasty. I followed this with an Affogato which nicely completed a great meal. The service was fantastic the whole way through.

Went out with my in laws and they said one of the best steaks they'd ever had. I had the steak with the coffee sauce and it was just so so good. Then I had the brulee and my daughter was going to just try a bit - well she was stood up eating it - finger in the bowl afterwards. It really was that good. We are all definitely going back. The waitress was so lovely, very quick service and food was amazing. 10 out of 10 from me!
