"La Mia Mamma’s whole thing is that they serve proper Italian food handmade by real Italian ‘mammas’. The kind who will force feed you additional pasta like you haven’t eaten since birth. Even on weekdays you’ll find the spot packed with families, waltzing in shouting ‘buonasera’ with three generations in tow. This place is fun, loud, and just the right amount of cheesy. Sure, there’s better pasta out there, but the cacio e pepe is a personal comforting favourite. " - heidi lauth beasley, jake missing, rianne shlebak
