    The ambiance was great but the waitress forgot to put our order in and we waited nearly a half out for our salad and an hour for our entree. The tiramisu tasted like straight rum .

    First time here. Not worthy of all the hype. Bread was greazy. Food was just OK. Would not rush back

    What a delicious meal! We love Mama’s on Main, and we were there to celebrate our daughter’s birthday! Everything was fantastic! We wish the wine prices weren’t so high, though. Way more expensive than some of the other nice dining places we go to.

    My favorite restaurant! I definitely have my favorite items. Gnocchi, chicken parm, pork chop, whipped lemon ricotta and sour dough, and lastly the tiramisu. Not sure in this order but my favorites.

    The food was delicious and our server was extremely charming. I have no clue what her name was but hopefully this review will link to our table and her. She deserves a shoutout. Good times.
