My siblings and I have visited Mama Yo many times, but this was our first time bringing our parents and we knew you wouldn’t disappoint. The food was exceptional and the service was excellent! My parents are already asking us when we’re going to go back! Keep up the great work guys, we love your restaurant ❤️

I recently had brunch in Angelina’s . The reservation was simple to arrange, and the staff were exceedingly helpful in addressing our order and needs. The food was great, We had Eggs Royale and Angelina’s breakfast ,Both dishes were amazing and would recommend both to any who visit this place. The overall ambiance was excellent, and we found the staff very accommodating. Thanks Jeniffer for your service. Would definitely revisit!!

This was our first restaurant on our trip to Dublin and we absolutely loved it! We were able to get one of the last reservations available for the next 2 weeks and had dinner at 9pm. We were greeted and sat immediately and service was wonderful. My partner and I both ordered an espresso martini and it was delicious. We then split the fish and chips for our main entree and it was incredible! For a side, we ordered the Brussel sprouts and roasted carrots and those were both phenomenal. 10/10 highly recommend!
