I'm always getting pizza from here. I usually get the supreme which is my absolute favorite. It's super fresh and I love the fact that they don't overload the sauce. Fresh veggies, meats, and crunchy crust! The service is quick and on point. I've never actually sat down here but it's cute. Cozy little spot in Bethesda. There is street parking. And this street is very congested so watch out lol.

Stopped by here after shopping in the area and was pleasantly surprised! We tried the Calamari, Shrimp Bada Bing (a wonderful specialty sauce), Greek Pizza, Mussels and Linguine, Shrimp and Linguine, and Seafood Asparagus pasta with pink sauce. Everything was flavorful and incredible - the pink sauce was so addicting. The dish sizes are generous and everyone was satisfied after the meal. The servers were nice and attentive and we were checked on by what seems to be the store manager - he was walking around and making friendly conversation with all of the customers. Definitely would return!

Great little Italian American restaurant with indoor and outdoor seating. The outdoor seating is pleasant, although it can be busy and noisy depending on time of day. My waitress provided excellent service. On her recommendation I got the chef special gnocchi trio, which was incredibly delicious and one of the best things I've had in a while. Came with a Caesar side salad, and I got a wine to go with. Very filling, and a good value! I look forward to going back. If I could Change one thing, I wish they served some nice Italian espresso or coffee for after the meal.

One of my favorite pizza places growing up had the same name so I wondered if there was any affiliation between the two. They have many locations in Maryland but there was no connection between this one and the one I grew up on.The restaurant smelled amazing. I was greeted right away with a smile. There was room for dining in but the restaurant was already full. I ordered a slice of the barbecue chicken pizza and a slice of their white pizza. The flavor on the barbecue chicken was decent but the white pizza didn't taste like anything at all. The price point was on par with other pizza places. You can tell that the restaurant is family owned so that's a nice touch. They have many more offerings than pizza so If I do return, I would try something else.

In town on a Business trip. Was craving Italian. Less than a 10 min walk from my hotel. Decided to check out and so glad I did! Food was fresh, delicious, came out fast, and had big portions! One of the BEST mushroom ravioli I've ever had! Customer service was great! And the outdoor seating was relaxing. Will definitely come here again when I'm back in Bethesda!

We're visiting from out of town, and while I know there are lots of great places to eat in Bethesda, I was hungry for Italian. A quick Google search led us to Mamma Lucia, a five minute walk from our hotel. We passed many trendy looking places on our walk, and a quick glance at Mamma Lucia's interior made me think briefly that we should turn back and go for something trendier. We did not, though, and I'm so glad we stayed for our wonderful meal. Our server, Kevin, suggested the chicken rigatoni..."a little heat, but not too spicy " and it was marvelous! Generously portioned, too, so I'll have the leftovers tonight. Served with a side salad and good bread for dipping, we were both very happy with Kevin's recommendation. They serve wine also, though I didn't see it on the menu. Oh, and did I mention that our server, Kevin, was awesome? We'll be back on our next visit to Bethesda!

Pretty much the definition of standard, generic Italian with convenient location in Bethesda Row. Came for a late lunch on a Saturday and service was fast and friendly. Kids enjoyed the Alfredo pasta and butter pasta. Dine in experience is sparse but efficient. Fairly small location like most downtown.

This was such an exceptional find. The portobello mushroom ravioli was so good that I kept eating even after I was full. And the service was outstanding.

Nice, friendly greeting with a big smile. Our server was kind enough to split our garden salad even though we didn't ask her to do it. The salad was zesty and crunchy! Delicious greens, yellow peppers, green bell peppers, pepperoncini, olives, onions and Cherry tomatoes. Love the vinaigrette dressing! The medium Mama's Special looked more like a large pizza. The this crust was loaded with pepperoni, sausage, meatballs, ham, mushroom, olives, onions and chopped green peppers. It had just the right balance of cheese and red sauce. Also, the thin crust was evenly baked. It wasn't too doughy. It had just the right blend of crisp and flakiness.
