Mamma Mia Restaurant in N.D.G offers fine Italian cuisine. Try their famous Mamma Mia Pizza, known to all the locals and many visitors in the NDG area. Mamma Mia Restaurant offers an excellent quality/price value.
Reviews portray Mamma Mia as a solid Italian option with authentic flavors and well balanced sauces, where pasta dishes and pizzas are frequently praised, pizzas are large and good for leftovers, and a variety of dishes like cannelloni, seafood pasta, and eggplant parmesan stand out when executed well. The atmosphere is described as warm and cozy with a charming old world vibe, but some guests note slow service, uneven quality, and higher prices, and a few visits report disappointing items or inconsistent takeout experience. Taken together, the reviews suggest a friendly local favorite for a relaxed meal, with standout dishes often cited but with caveats about consistency and value.
It's a warm old school Italian restaurant with excellent traditional Montreal style pizza. Our server Batu was one of the best waiters I've had recently. Well worth the visit!
I was in the mood for some good authentic pizza & pasta so I ordered from Mama Mia,it was very good & tasted great but I ended up having gas for two whole weeks.The same thing happened to me when I bought some sushi from IGA,it really sucks cause I have to hold them back everytime I get into an elevator.

Very happy to have a nice local pizza place nearby, this is always a must for me. On our first visit, we ordered pizzas to go. The pizza was larger than I had thought, so we had plenty of leftovers for the next day & it was just as good the day after. The pizza is also not very greasy either, I would say that the pepperoni one was ok, but the better choices are the ones with more toppings, the all dressed & super special were very good. On our second visit we had the pasta, & that was excellent. I had the Cannelloni Fiorentina & loved it. The cheese, freshly made pasta & other ingredients were delicious & the serving size was perfect. A great take out option when you have a group over or just to stop by for a nice meal.
So I have eaten here many times over the years including take out & eat in. I honestly don't know how they stay open for so many years as every time I pass by there are very few people inside.
Food. Below average & not consistent nor fresh.
Service. Generally slow unless you're a regular or a larger party spending a lot of money I suppose.
Atmosphere. Old, dated & original but at the same time classic Italian cosy.
So take out pizza, what they are famous for. Dough is very very chewy & taste is nothing to write home about. Sauce is barely noticeable & what little you can taste is disappointing. Cheese is limited & thin as well as not covering the entire pizza properly. It was somewhere between a thin crust & slightly more. Pepperoni coverage was poor & overall price was very high for what they serve.
Eating in the restaurant during the week on a Wednesday & a Thursday evening proved to be poor. The bread on table was ok, but salad was a shame a total let down. Other foods orders were not even worth writing about as I haven't anything good to say so I will leave it there.
In summary I suspect that this area has such a limited number of restaurants this place have a built in audience by default & not by choice if they want something close by.
I would certainly not return as it's definitely worth while to drive a little further & have some quality food - Italian or otherwise.
I ordered the tortellini soup & it was extremely disappointing. The broth tasted like dishwater, the pasta was heavy & unpleasant, & I ended up with a stomachache afterwards. For the price, I expected much better quality. Definitely not a place I would recommend or return to.
If you have watched the Office When Michael Scott Bought from the Wrong Pizza Place this would be worse!
Everyone's nice! It takes 20 minutes for it to get ready & it's definitely should be a longer wait. For what it's worth, it is one of the best places in mtl for pasta pizza, anything Italian?
The service & ambiance were great. There was something a little lacking in the pizza, if I'm very honest, but I think it's more the style of pizza rather than a lack of quality. Altogether a pleasant experience.

I must start out by saying that my review is probably biased as I worked here over 50 years ago. It brought back fond memories. The restaurant has changed inside since then, & now has a warm comfortable inviting atmosphere, overseen by friendly family service. The menu here has always been fresh, with the best ingredients. That recipe hasn't changed in 50 years plus. Family owned & supported. Best pizza & pasta.
Absolutely delicious pizza. Incredibly it still tastes the same as it did 44 years ago when it first became a weekly treat for me as a kid. The consistency of taste & texture over generations is a mark of care & quality that's rare. Bravo Mama Mia Pizzeria!
Where's Ramsay when you need him!!
Decor out of date small dessert like looking menus with very little choice. ... Not even 5 min looking at the menu the waiter is asking us if we are ready to order & he sees that all are menus are still opened.. The owner was sitting a few tables down watching tv in the dinning area the entire time... The pizza was ok buns were STALE,,, arabiatta pasta & muscle pasta was AWFUL!! but the best was when my friend had as for cheese for her pasta the waiter came with Romano telling us he had to run to the store cause he ran out of cheese so he bough Romano ? Awkward !!! Oh didn't offer us dessert or coffee asked if we were finish & brought .....
1 BILL for the table.... !!!
