Little Mama’s Italian

I had great time dining there and the food was so truly amazing. They have great options. Fresh pizza and pasta! The dessert was amazing and nice quality too. The Penne alla vodka and Chicken Parm were so good and very delicious. Great texture of pasta. I love that it's cozy seating and very pleasant setting. The location was so good and nice staff that served food promptly. No long wait.

The food was amazing and our server was super sweet and attentive.The restaurant is a bit dark for my eyes but I had my phone flashlight so all good. When I made the reservation the man that answered was so sweet. I was with my 87 year old neighbor and he made sure we had a table downstairs and not a high top. I truly appreciate his help. We had a great time and will go back again.

Food is good but serious issues (and opportunities) with their takeout. The process is flawed and my food sat on the counter as other takeout orders were added to the cluster mess. Also paid $2 extra for the "bowl" of soup which comes in the same takeout container as the "cup" of soup. Feel like I got ripped off on this one and there are many other places to order takeout from.

This was our first date night in a some weeks so I was starved for a nice experience with my hubby. Little Mama's Italian delivered just that. When you walk into the restaurant you are taken somewhere else. Don't let the nearby businesses fool you. There may be a grocery store in the parking lot but once you step in to the restaurant you feel the rich, inviting, warm, old-world, Italian family vibes.We were served a complementary bread basket with dipping oil. There were only a few red pepper flakes in it and no herbs or anything, so it tasted a little bland. But the bread was warm and delicious. We also started with a couple drinks but we made rookie mistakes.*Authentic Italian drinks contain ingredients that are bitter to help aid in digestion. So ordering a Negroni and Amaro wasn't our best moves. But that has nothing to do with the restaurant or the way the drinks were made. We were simply uniformed.We had the Goat cheese and Mascarpone dip and it was heavenly! Just get it. We also shared Mama's salad and it was great. Our entrees were the Chicken Parmesan, which came with a side of spaghetti and the special, which, I can't remember the name of. I should have written it down. However, I can say it was large ravioli stuffed with luscious, creamy cheese, gooey tomatoes and minced walnuts. It was really good but super rich and decadent. Considering we had already tried so much I only ate three of the oversized ravioli, but that was not because it wasn't good. It was great, I was just almost full at that point. The chicken parm was good but I wouldn't say it was anything special. And because I don't know what I was thinking, I ordered a side of green beans too. They were very crisp and had a nice, light flavor which helped balance out the richness of the meal. But again, only ate a little because I was full.They boxed up our leftovers nicely and we shared the goods with our three teenagers and they loved it. The food heated up nicely, which we all know, only real, freshly cooked food can do that. The prices are amazing for how much food you get without the portions being obscene. The service was good, even for a busy Friday night. There is a reason why they say this place is one of the best places to get authentic Italian food in the area. You should check it out.

Second time at the Rey farms location and the service, food and ambiance was as good as the south Charlotte location. The Mozz flight was (as always) just amazing. I had the Lasagna which I cant speak highly enough about. The Chocolate cake was very good too. I really find this establishment to just do things right.

Grabbed dinner with family friends and thought that this was such a cool Italian restaurant with a fancy Italian aesthetic to it. Our server was so kind and gave us a bunch of helpful suggestions. We started off with the house mozzarella which is made fresh at the restaurant and I NEED more of this. It was one of the best fresh mozzarellas that I have ever had. We also shared some meatballs and a pizza that both tasted great. My girlfriend loves lasagna and this dish was very cheesy and delicious. The chicken parm was cooked perfectly and we switched up the pasta to the house made radiatore.

Made reservations for two for a Wednesday dinner and it was a packed house. Service was friendly. The waiter tried making recommendations but mostly based on his personal taste. It was pretty dark inside, the overall vibe was upscale and lots of wood. The food was delicious, I got the penne a la vodka which had a nice spicy kick to it. The fresh mozzarella was wonderful! Overall great dinner, just not very budget friendly!

Just dropping in to give the Shrimp Oreganata the love it deserves! This dish got some negative reviews so I was nervous to try it. I'm a creature of habit and order literally the same thing every time I come here - chicken parm. I stepped out on a limb and the waitress recommended the shrimp oreganata and holy cow. GET IT! The shrimp come in a generous portion swimming in the most delicious garlicy broth. Served with the homemade fettucini noodles in alfredo sauce, it was absolutely delicious! I had leftovers for maybe 1 more meal. I think I'll stick to my OG chicken parm next time just because I can usually stretch that dish into 3 meals. Anyway, you should try the shrimp oreganata!

Before ordering, your table gets a complimentary basket of bread with dinner rolls and focaccia (along with olive oil to dip in). I ended up ordering a single portion of Fresh Radiatore (a round ridged pasta with a Scibelli family meat sauce recipe made with ground beef, pork, veal and Italian plum tomatoes), which was delicious! Side note: the pasta is made from scratch.Another thing I really liked was that the servers come to you with a cheese grater when your food is ready. In general, it was slightly difficult getting the attention of our server, but I will say that it was a lively place even on a weekday evening. Parking was not an issue though, as there is a big lot in the back.

Atmosphere was warm and cozy. Staff was friendly and very helpful. All of their suggestions were great. My meal was wonderful so well seasoned. Not o mention amazing portions. Will come back next time I'm in Charlotte!
