"MAMA is one of Oakland’s best dining deals, which makes sense because for about $39.95 they serve a full meal including a salad, pasta, and dessert. Diners can choose between two options for each course, such as MAMA’s sugo and pappardelle or lemon ricotta rigatoni. The menu changes weekly, and the wine list highlights small-production wines for about no more than $18 a glass." - Dianne de Guzman, Eater Staff
