    Average food. Average experience. Food not close to our usual Greater Cincinnati spots (ie.. Pepp and Dolores, Alfio’s, Sotto)

    Server was extremely nice and patient with our group. It was my birthday and we were pretty loud and chaotic, but she handled us so well. Loved her! Love the food and vibe at Mama’s everytime!!

    We sat on the heated rooftop for the first time. It was cozy except the bench seat was very cold, so we sat on our coats. I recommend adding cushions to these seats during the winter. The dinner and service was great. We always order a plate of cookies at the end. We were bummed that the chocolate chip cookies in the assortment were replaced with new cookies that were still frozen inside - disappointing.

    Thank you for dining with us and leaving a review! So happy to hear dinner and service were great. It's our first winter with the rooftop open and we're still working on perfecting it. Thank you for the feedback! Cushions are a great idea and definitely something we'll look into! Hannah General Manager
