I have been meaning to try Mama Carolla’s for a while now and let me set the stage. First off you need need a reservation. Not that you can’t do walk ins but given how busy the place is, it’s a long wait and definitely not worth your time. Second, the ambience needs a shout out – Mama Carolla’s has won awards for its ambience and it’s beautiful.
Next the food, every single thing we ordered was so so so delicious. The artichoke fritters were so delicious and I couldn’t stop at one. The pasta too good was definitely too good! It was a lot for me alone and I definitely recommend sharing unless you can fill up on just pasta.
The dessert was Okayish and I don’t see that taking over the fritters and the pasta. Service was very quick despite being so busy and we had a great time. A very festive atmosphere and it was definitely worth it!

I loved sitting outside, great atmosphere. The food was delicious and I recommend the steamed mussels as a starter. The flavor was strong but not overwhelming, and it was perfect to dip bread into. Very tasty. The veal medallion was also very good.
If you’re lucky, you’ll get Ashley as your waitress. She did an amazing job accommodating us and I would come back just for her service. You can tell that she has a lot of experience in hospitality.

Delicious, hearty portion sizes and great service.
Definitely do yourself a favor and get a reservation and get dessert, you won’t regret it!
I ordered the manicotti with a meatball on the side and WOW was that ever a delicious plate of food. The meatball was juicy and packed with flavor as well.
The canolli was heavenly and the perfect ending to a tremendous dinner!
The waitress was very polite, knowledgeable, and had great suggestions for what to order.

We recently went to celebrate a friends birthday and she has spoken very highly of the restaurant, so we had high expectations. Our server was pleasant and attentive throughout the evening. We were seated in the screened in porch area; we requested indoor seating so just an FYI for anyone wanting to sit inside the house, you might need to further clarify which indoor seating you are wanting. We ordered the bruschetta which had smoked mozzarella cheese on top of it. The cheese was it’s saving grace as it wasn’t as flavorful as you would expect and lacked basil or balsamic. The “Holly’s Artichoke Fritters” were a favorite for the table and if returned, I would order them again. At the servers suggestion, I ordered the Rosemary Chicken Lasagna that came with a side salad. The salad was mainly wilted/brown iceberg lettuce and their house dressing was more oil than anything else. The lasagna was decent lasagna with the sauce tasting like something straight from a Prego jar. We did not order dessert as we had a second destination for that.Overall, it’s a pleasant restaurant with beautiful architecture and friendly service, but wouldn’t call it the best Italian around, nor were there any standout dishes that would draw me back for a second visit.

Second time here & it was as wonderful as I remembered. The prosciutto and melon appetizer was a delight to the senses – mixing sweet & salty. Our server recommended the Mediterranean salad & it was also delicious. The service was timely & professional. A great date night spot! The Mediterranean pasta was extremely delicious and the spumoni gelato was like no other! Highly recommend if you’re looking for the best Italian dishes around, but expect a wait unless you have a large party with reservations.

This place is great but very busy…I recommend making a reservation online or showing up with the 4:30 people. It did seem like it was clearing out around 8pm when we left. Food was great and it’s a very cute spot. Service was amazing!

Mama Carolla’s was a wonderful dining experience for us. The atmosphere is great, with both indoor and outdoor seating. We started with the steamed mussels for an appetizer, which I highly recommend. It’s really good.
We ordered the pasta too good and the misto mare for our dinner. The portions were generous and the flavors are amazing. The misto mare comes with quite an assortment of seafood.
The Bomba Spumoni Gelato is a great dessert to finish off your meal with too. Thank you Mama Carolla’s for a great time!

Date night with husband☺️
The place is pretty packed, even with a reservation we had to wait for 30 min to get a table but the moment you’re shown to your table the service is exceptional.
We opted for verandah seating, it was a hit with the weather being cooler than the other days.
Our server Sherry knows what she’s doing and great at recommending house specials and the various items at the menu. She even made sure about the dietary restrictions before hand.
We ordered their Sicilian Asparagus patties, rosemary chicken lasagna and Chicken involtine. Everything tasted delicious and I cannot wait to go back and try the others.
Also, you cannot miss their house made tiramisu. It was delishhhhh.

Wow what can I say? It started off very well. The greeters were excellent and so was the host. As soon as the waitress came to the table the atmosphere changed. She seemed annoyed that we were asking questions concerning the dishes. It was literally our first time!
She bragged to her other table that she had been there 20+ years. So why the annoyance? You should be thrilled to boast about dining options. She was only a little warm when it was time to check out and tip. The food was bland and tasteless and seemed to be cooked for another day and reheated.
The server was so combative I didn’t feel comfortable having her return it to the kitchen. This was such a disappointment. I hope this place gets back to what made them special. Please talk to the servers about carrying the same attitude as the kind host and greeters.
