"Absolutely amazing food and great friendly staff :) Def best in Houghton would recommend"

"I've eaten here a couple of times, as an all adults group and also with two young children. On both occasions the food, service and price were all excellent. The menu is extensive with specials as well. The staff are attentive without being pushy, and genuinely look for honest feedback to improve what is an already excellent restaurant. I'm pleased they offer something a bit different from the standard Italian beer selection, with some rarer Italian beers such as Ichnusa and Morena. I would ideally like some better craft beers and real ales available but I appreciate there may not be enough demand for that to justify stocking it. I would thoroughly recommended giving this a try, you won't be disappointed."

"First time at Mamma Mia and was not disappointed, The food was excellent, generous portions even when it was on the special menu, vegetables had a Mediterranean theme, and the Steak was 14oz. Lemon Cheesecake was excellent along with the service, Stacey makes you feel welcome."

"I really enjoyed the food when I ate here, they used to open the restaurant and the food was top notch. We visited with friends when they were staying with us a number of times, now we have to travel miles to eat this kind of food in a restaurant. I hope this returns as the restaurant is sat empty which seems a waste , and this area desperately needs some choice . We have almost nothing in terms of restaurants nearby, and certainly nowhere to get a decent proper kebab and grilled meats"
