You can’t go wrong with Mama Mia’s. Food is 10/10 tasty and fairly priced. We will definitely make this our new sketti spot. :)

Clearly this is a fixture of West Allis. Took the family to Mama Mia's for a celebration dinner. Five of us waited about 15 minutes to be seated on a Monday night. First time visit we had garlic bread and a garlic bread, meatball sandwich and chicken tenders and fries and the salad and potato soup. And manicotti. Inflation has raised prices everywhere, but the prices here for the portions was quite reasonable.

Definitely a go-to spot for great Italian food and service if you’re in the area. Mama Mia’s has World Famous garlic bread, and its no debate. For an appetizer, two of us split the dinner salad and you get free garlic bread with it. FYI they sell their Italian dressing in pints and quarts to-go, make sure to store it in your cabinet or on the counter. We also ordered more garlic bread for the table. Pizza was phenomenal, highly recommend the sausage. For Root Beer fans they do have Sprecher but it’s not on the menu. For the ladies who like a fruity and sweet alcoholic drink, no questions make sure to get the red moscato. Note: They don’t take reservations, we went on a Friday around 6:30 and the restaurant wait time was probably 10 minutes. Service was the best from start to finish. They wrap all of your left overs for you. You will feel at home with any waitress you get. Definitely add Mama Mia’s to your list and next time out. (I’ll add a pic of the salad on my next trip)

When we drive from southern Alabama to vacation in Wisconsin, Mama Mia's is always on our list of places to dine. The Lasagna's are fantastic and served with their world famous garlic bread. I can't comment on their other offerings because I'm hooked on the lasagna covered with cheese. That's all I ever order. The food is delicious, prices fair and service is great.

Do not eat that day before you go!!! Everything is big and yummy and oh ya did I say BIG! This was my 1st time and I was pleasantly surprised. Will definitely return to try other menu items. I had the Lasagna and garlic bread this time.

Mama Mia's is Back! I was a loyal and frequent diner for decades. I just had to have the signature garlic bread and delicious delicate crisp crust pizza, but the original Mama Mia family sold the business several years ago, and the food and service went into steady decline. It seems like the recipes were the same, but the execution was lacking. The bread was oftern served re-heated or stale tasting and the pizza was seldom done right. I don't know who is running the business now, but we gave it a try and ordered carry-out. The meal was fabulous! I hope they keep it going.

What a great place to land for a hot meal when it's bitter cold outside. Our server Tammi (SP?) took great care of us. House salad and pizza was what we chose for dinner. The thin crust pizza was crispy and really good. I don't think you could go wrong here for dinner

Haven't been here in a long time. Food was excellent! Enjoyed a house salad, delicious homemade garlic bread, combo cheese and sausage ravioli and chicken fettuccini.
