Although the food portions are of a nice quantity, the food is mediocre at best. Other Italian restaurants in the area serve superior quality dishes.\r

The waitress who served us did not tell us about the specials that were posted outside. We did not have time to read the board as the hostess rushed us to a table. The waitress was anxious to take our order and we forgot to inquire about the specials. It occurred to us when we heard another diner ask if specials were available.\r

Also, the waitress never told us about happy hour. We did have to remind her that the restaurant offers 3 for 1 drinks. She then told us that at the table we were to get 2 for 1. She said one had to be at the bar to get 3 for 1. When I ordered a glass of wine, I was informed that glasses of wine are not part of the happy hour. \r

This behavior seems sleazy to me. We live in Hollywood and go out to dinner often. The other diner is a Monsignor at a local Catholic church. We will not return to Mama Mia Italian Restaurant.
Pros: Nice size portions
Cons: They do not encourage their specials.
