Mamma G's was my favorite pasta place for a long time, but for the past, of, eight months or so the quality has been slipping. The last two times I had pasta here I did not enjoy it, the kalamata olives in my pasta tasted "off" last time, and the time before the sauce was bland.
I hope that the quality improves, because some of their pasta was really yummy.
I will never eat at this restaurant again. I was treated poorly by rude staff members as well as a very unhelpful manager.
If you want to make a reservation and give a deposit for a large group... don't bother, they don't want your business... at least that's what I was told.
Ordered Calamari and a beer.
The calamari was a tad overdone, and otherwise uninspired. The service was average. The calamari was more than $10 for about 6 whole baby squid, which is quite steep for the quality.
The pasta's were quite poor, and at almost $20 each, a total rip off.
Will not return unless I'm bullied into going with friends again.
It's a nice italian place with reasonable prices at night if you want good pasta! Got calamari for appetizers as well as bruschettas to share (we were 4 people). Both were good. I like the "perfetta" in the selection of pasta ;-) There is a lot of choice to please everyone!
Only cons: if you're a dessert person, there is not much choice. I don't recommend the tiramisu, it's not great.
Went here for dinner with a large group on Saturday night.
The food and service were very good. Our waitress (though young) was very polite and professional and did not get ruffled even though when she tried to open two bottles of wine, both of them broke at the top.
On to the food. We shared the grilled calamari to start and it was delicious. Nice and spicy with a pesto sauce drizzled over it.
For my main I had the Scaldarsi pizza with spicy sausage and chilli peppers. It was delicious.
There was too much going on that I forget what the bf had, but he loved his pasta as well.
I had the Sangria to drink and it is actually really good Sangria.
Great food and atmosphere. Go there for pasta as there's not much else on the menu.
I was told some while ago by a friend that the owner toured Italy for 3 months and got recipes from that trip to bring back to Ottawa in order to open the restaurant. Not sure if it's true but it makes for a nice story ;-)
"Long" pasta are made fresh, at the restaurant. Short ones are ordered.
