Feels run down, the food was ok but nothing great and a pasta with seafood at £17 with a small Perroni and an espresso became over £31

I had a wonderful dinner at Mamma Mia. It's got a great central location. It's a genuine Italian family business. The food was delicious and we weren't kept waiting. The service was friendly and excellent. The atmosphere was warm and welcoming. The menu is reasonably priced. And when I left, I accidentally left my hat behind, which has sentimental value. I was only visiting York. I don't live there, but when I messaged Mamma Mia and explained I'd accidentally left my hat, they very sweetly posted it to me and wouldn't let me pay the postage! Honestly couldn't be more grateful and the next time I'm in York I will be eating there again.

I haven't even eaten the main course but the mussels, bread and butter, and calamari were spectacular 🤩🤩 so authentic. I love the atmosphere and the staff are so lovely. Ordered two pizzas which I know will definitely not disappoint. Much love xx

I have just finished one of the best Italian meals I’ve ever had in Mamma Mia. The food, portion sizes, service, and everything else was perfect. I will be returning to York in July and will certainly be returning to this restaurant. It has been a wonderful end to a really lovely holiday. To the owner and everyone else who works in there - thank you.

Still very nice but as good as the first time. The calzone was less flavoursome and a little light on ham. Tasted a bit like a takeaway pizza. On the other hand the profiteroles were amazing and the ingredients were good quality. Portion size was not disappointing. Service was not quite on par.
