Mamma Roma

This is my favorite Italian restaurant I've had in the Baltimore suburbs. I've been 3 times now, and it's never disappointed. It's a Hybrid full-service restaurant, but you order the food at the front, and yes they have a lot of To Go orders. My first time trying was To Go, but my subsequent two times, I ate there. The first time I tried was in October 2021. I was at a Meetup group at the MD Corn Maze. The organizer runs the Pizza Addicts Meetup, and he said I need to try Mamma Roma. So, I decided to order a pizza and take home, and it was a well above average thin-crust pizza.The 2nd time I visited was in January 2023 with a Dining Out Meetup group. This was their first Meetup with that group, and they started with a bang picking Mamma Roma! The other 2 restaurants I went to that Winter with them were somewhat mediocre, but at least they started strong! I knew I wanted to go as I remembered I enjoyed the pizza, but I wanted to try a pasta dish. Server was cordial bringing water/drinks as well as food in a reasonable time. We were a fairly big group and had a somewhat separated back area to ourselves. Wow, the pasta dish I was amazed with the quality, even more-so than the pizza. It's a pretty good portion where I had enough for leftovers.My girlfriend & I visited on Wednesday, December 4, 2024. I got a beef pasta dish (see pic); it was one again outstanding! Server was very nice and efficient. My only compliant was that lighting was a little dim in there. I ended up getting a side salad with my dish, which was good too. We had gone to another Italian place in Howard County in late December, and while pretty good, we were comparing all the things we liked better about Mamma Roma. This is definitely a place we'd go back.

This pizza place came in like a dark horse! I've been to a few different local pizza spots in the area to taste and compare. And in an unexpected turn of events, this edged out our other local favorites (IYKYK)The pizza here seemed the most like NY pizza. We ordered NY pizza with bacon, sausage, and pepperoni. The dough was good, toppings taste fresh, and wasn't too saucy. It was also the type of pizza that droops when you eat it which doesn't bother me. (If you want something a bit more firm then this may not be the option for you orrr just order it well done)Also we tried the calamari and it was good. With a hit of salt, it would be perfect! The breading was super light and golden brown.At this point, we are making the extra few minutes to go here!

Delicious Italian pasta dishes at a very affordable price! Ordered the Cavatelli Campagnoli (pasta in cream sauce mixer with ground beef and mushrooms) and could not resist the display of pastries, so I had to get a cannoli.I ordered online through their website, which turned out to be linked to doordash. I think the restaurant would prefer you call them directly to order. The pasta was cooked perfectly. The creamy sauce was on the heavy side but it was so delicious. A little disappointed in the small amount of mushrooms (maybe 3 or 4 pieces?), otherwise, I was very pleased with the dish. Can't wait to try more dishes.Oh and that cannoli - Chef's kiss! Not terribly sweet and the shell tasted fresh.

After discovering Mamma Roma's, I think by now we've averaged at least a visit a week, between our cravings- family's requests to take-out, and showing off great plates to visiting friends.This visit, we ordered our normal favorite Meat Lover's Calzone, but added broccoli, artichokes, & hot peppers, the eggplant parmesan hoagie with mushrooms, and our kids got their own adult sized chicken parmesan & spaghetti & meatballs- the dishes were so massive, even when giving them a large bowl & ample meat side, they were still able to have 3-4 meals from the one plate- they were happy all week eating spaghetti again & again- the noodles kept well, tasted fresh even days later (& everything reheats fantastically) our son did devoured the meatballs- he loved licking the red sauce & our daughter kept going, "ooh ooey gooey cheese" when she found more & more cheese between her layers of meat and noodlesDefinitely going our go-to Italian eatery. I cannot recommend enough.

Door Dash is best when ordering ahead for pick up (: Even as take out - and as expected - food was delish.

Looking forward to trying this place in person. After a long road trip, my family and I decided to order food to go. When we got home, everybody enjoyed the different varieties of pasta. They give you a lot of food and the family is looking forward to trying their pizza in the Resturante. They require you to order online but don't be deterred by the long wait times. I'm food was ready in 20 mins and I received a text for pick up. Please forgive the pictures. My family of boys dived in before my pics

The service was quick. We were seated almost instantly, the place was jam packed which is good to see because it gave me the impression that this place must be delicious. It was a bit confusing to find out that although they seated us, they don't take our orders while we are seated. I had to walk back to the front and wait in line again to order, luckily I had my mom with me to leave my three children or else I think I would've been upset. But besides that, the staff and service were quick and amazing. I definitely recommend eating here!

Tuesday 6/25/2024I had heard about this spot from a Reddit that was talking about the best places in Maryland so I was quite intrigued and interested in visiting this spot. I made a call in order for the chicken Alfredo $18, chicken Parmesan $18, mamas cheesesteak pizza medium 14" $18, and a cheese pizza medium 14" with Tuesday special for $7.Both of the pizzas were extremely underwhelming as they were just average at BEST and the crust was AWFUL.The chicken Parmesan was also highly underwhelming and flat out average: the taste was very basic and plain.The chicken Alfredo was the only item that was above average but even then it was just alright.Overall, this spot was very disappointing and I would NOT come back to this place (even if close by) or recommend this spot as there are way better Italian places in Maryland.

Came here on a whim since I was traveling for work and in the area. My co-worker that came with me lies to eat cheese pizzas and uses them as a baseline to how pizza places are rated. This place fared pretty well on his global rating index. :)I genuinely enjoyed this place and the service. The food was just delicious. Pizza was super authentic and I loved the crust. Hands down what a winner this place is. If you happen to be in the area, stop by if you're in an Italian food mood. This is a winner.Food Taste: 5Overall Service: 5Value of food to cost: 5Facility: 5Ambiance: Mom and pop-ish with very Italian feel to it. It's a bit crowded but it's a winner overall.Repeat customer: yesDog Friendly: no

Amazing as usual! Just wanted to update some more pics. Service, taste, and portion are always great sf this place.
