I came here for the first time yesterday and I was truly amazed. The food, service and atmosphere was incredible. I ordered the eggplant parmesan and it absolutely blew me away, it was so delicious. Our servers name was Jerome, he was very knowledgeable and very friendly. I would definitely recommend this place to anyone. You won’t regret!

I’ve been to Mama Ricotta’s many times, but it took me a while to get to their newer concept. I went for a team lunch.

I ordered here because the reviews were good and I work close by and never had food from here. Sadly my experience wasn’t as good as others have had and I won’t be back. I called in my order and asked if vodka sauce could be put on the ravioli instead of those listed on the menu. I was told yes, of course and so I ordered.

I ate dinner at Little Mama’s for the first time. I love Italian food and have heard good things about this restaurant. The bread that they bring to the table is so good. They also have a good selection of wine by the glass. To start, I had a Caesar salad, and for my meal, I tried the lasagna. It was so delicious. For dessert, I split a NY style cheesecake with my beautiful date. I really enjoyed Little Mama’s, and I look forward to when they open a new location closer to me in Rea Farms.

Try Little Mama’s Italian in Charlotte North Carolina. I actually went to mama ricottas last week. The service was really good. Our server Gabby was very accommodating and was asking us if we were ok and if we needed anything. I think the manager helped us as well. She brought us our drinks and also made sure we were OK which was super cool. I think I like Mama Ricotta’s better. I had a dirty martini with Tito’s and extra blue cheese olives. The drink was very good. We shared the Stratchiatella mozzarella. It was good. We had it with roasted peppers. The consistency was creamy and it had a very good flavor. The crostini that came with it was very good- crunchy and flavorful The bread at the table was also very good. Very garlicky. I ordered the fettuccine Burro which was a brown butter sauce with truffled breadcrumbs. I also added sausage. I think the dish was pretty good. Salty, but probably because of the sausage. My friend had the gluten-free pasta Radiatore (meat sauce). She thought it was bland. I’m very picky about my Italian and I thought the experience was great. The service was the star!!!

A truly one of a kind experience! This place has some amazing, authentic Italian food. We ordered the pasta vodka, with the waygu pork meatballs and substituted out fettuccine noodles. My husband got a chicken Parmesan and was obsessed! We went here for his birthday dinner and everything came out right out time. Portions are large, and you definitely a great amount for the price! Our server Jamison was extremely pleasant and friendly, with a great sense of humor. We really appreciate it and will be back next time we visit the Charlotte area!

INCREDIBLE!!! Came here on referral from a friend and she nailed it!!! We’ve been looking for great Italian food for a few years now and we finally found it. Fresh mozzarella made on site, the chicken and eggplant parmesan were both fantastic!!! Service was great, thank you Kelly. Will definitely be back!!!

Excellent upscale Italian dining experience with a robust menu that has something for everyone. In addition to the usual pasta suspects, I recommend the apps and the chopped salad.
