We just went here on a whim having never heard of this place before (we’re just weekend visitors), and wow… everything was so good! There isn’t a dish we didn’t love! The fried mozzarella was fantastic – just as others have described in other reviews. The rest of our dishes were specials – all amazing. We’ll definitely be back again and recommending this restaurant to others!

Have been to Mama’s a few times and in the past the service was a bit slow. This most recent visit – our server was attentive and bustling. Myself and my dinning companion ordered the VERY well dressed Pear Salad and shared it. She dined on the Pappardelle Bolongnese Ragu which had a nice bit is sweetness to the meat sauce. We also shared the Pasta Carbonara – yes simply prepared (pancetta, garlic, eggs, salt, pepper, and some parsley) and it was lovely and perfectdly cooked al dente.
I enjoyed one of their specialities; their Veal Scallopini in a creamed mushroom sauce. Super Tasty and the potatoes and vegetables which accmpanied it were steamed wonderfully.
Decor is simple but accomodating. In the spring summer months there have outside dinning as well.
The experienced Chef has cooking chops and it shows in their food, its flavor profiles and taste. Nice quaint place OFF the Sonoma Plaza (which is more $$ and touristry) Mangia con Gusto! (eat up and enjoy)

Why haven’t I eaten here sooner? The location may be a little deceiving, located in a corner of the shopping strip, but once you get inside, you will feel warm and cozy. The owners are incredibly welcoming, treating you like family and the food is wonderful. Some of the best we tasted in Sonoma, by far!

Fantastic meal. Quality of the food was really good. Highly recommend. Service was great…. loved Kimberly (the chefs wife). HIGHLY RECOMMEND this place! Photos of the food are partially eaten… we were hungry

The best carbonara you will ever have. Perfectly cooked. The pesto dish here is a special and it’s a ricotta pasta flour gnocchi (no potato). Unbelievable

It’s been a while since I’ve come from a restaurant with such a bad experience I’ve talked about it for days after.
TLDR if you like eating salt with a side of pasta and you like being nickel-and-dimed for everything you may like this place.
My wife and I were visiting Sonoma, and we decided to get Mamma’s for our Friday night dinner.
The restaurant’s interior looks like it hasn’t been change since the 60s. We were seated with a reservation with only one other party in the restaurant.
Our server was pleasant for this kind of restaurant, the reason why the service gets 2 stars.
My wife and I both ordered the carbonara. Bread and olive oil was served to us (later found out it was an extra $2 for this), and the bread was alright. It was warm and soft on the inside but too crunchy on the outside, as if it was reheated quickly and was slightly rebaked.
The carbonara was served, and we were asked if we wanted pepper. They had a small bowl of pre-grated parmesan style cheese, which I sprinkled on my pasta. The sauce looked thick at first, but ended up being fairly runny. The flavor was that of just eating salt and some very al-dente pasta. There was not much flavor other than that. My wife and I took a few bites but couldn’t eat any more.
The served came to ask how things were, and both my wife and I said the pasta was far too salty (we rarely send things back at restaurants). The server however just took one of our pastas to be remade. There was some loud complaining in the kitchen by the chef, but 5 minutes later a new carbona came out – to just me.
There was a noticeable less amount of the sauce on it, and the server told me not to put cheese or pepper on it until I tried it first (I can only assume to not waste a sprinkling of pepper or cheese). The pasta was still too salty but I chose not to complain, and both my wife and I left hungry.
Perhaps it was a bad one-off experience, and I don’t typically rate restaurants until I’ve been there a few times, but we won’t be back.

Probably the best restaurant in the area – we love Mamma T’s for many reasons – the owners, the coziness, the owners (lol), the convenience, the consistency – but mostly because the food is so darn good that I am regularly dreaming about it. Specifically, the eggplant Parmesan … and the pan-fried mozzarella … and the burrata… omg and the cannoli is to die for. The Italian montepulciano is delicious and the coffee is even great. If I could eat here three times a week and not gain weight, I would do it in a heartbeat. Yum. Divine. Gaetano you are a master Italian chef! You and Kim make us smile for days every time we come in.

Fabulous little hole in the wall Italian spot in Sonoma, CA. Only open Fri-Sun this place is a hidden gem. Fantastic fresh food, great service, delightful owners/staff and an overall 9/10.

This restaurant was a recommendation from a local that worked at a winery we went to. If you are in Sonoma do yourself a favor and check this place out. Hands down the best authentic Italian food we have had. Everything was fresh and homemade. The owner is also the chef. The menu is small but everything we had was superb. It was like we were sitting in a little restaurant in Italy.

Mamma makes pasta with love. Came in for some pasta carb loading before the big race. Also enjoyed a little personal celebration.
Had the Pappardelle Bolognese which is my standby for carbing. It was not bad. Sauce a bit meh but it did the trick.
We also got a special of the day – a mushroom pasta which we thought was vegetarian but just a bit of miscommunication. No big deal it was quite good.
We got a chocolate soufflé for desert which was their treat. A little something for our celebration. Much appreciated and a nice combo with vanilla ice cream.
Super friendly folks here and gracious hosts. The food did the trick – filled our bellies and had a great time.
