Editorial Review for Mama Mia Trattoria – by Rachel Bellacera
In Short
Comforting cuisine is served in this homey restaurant with deep plum-colored walls, white tablecloths and sparkly chandeliers. Candlelit tables are small and cozy, and generously portioned dishes, great for passing around, make it an ideal destination for groups. The menu includes fried zucchini with a zesty tomato sauce, daily lasagna, and manicotti--handmade crepes filled with ricotta, mozzarella and Parmesan cheeses. The densely creamy and delicious tiramisu is some of the best in town.

Having read the good reviews on this site, I went to Mama Mia's this past August. I have bought one container of salt in the past four years, and I have to say, I loaded my soup with salt. This is from someone who normally eats bland food. I wanted manicotti, but the waiter convinced me to try the ravioli. What a mistake. It was tasteless, and it didn't even fill me up. I ended up ordering manicotti to go, and while slightly better, it just wasn't worth the calories. So - if you like your food tasting like dishwater, then I would come to Mama Mia's. If, however, you would like Italian Food that actually tastes good, try Alessandro's or Olive Garden.
Pros: The Cooking Staff had pulses
Cons: Restaurant Was Loud, Tasteless Food

Wow, the person who wrote that negitive one star review below sounds like quite the a@s h@le. I can maybe understand if the place was just ok writing a review that bad since he is from "italy." However, Mama Mia's is really, really, good and I am very picky when it comes to italian food and have dined at many, many, restaurants. The owner/chef is italian and knows what she is doing. She makes the mozz cheese fresh everyday and it truly melts in your mouth so I have no idea where that came from. I go here when I want hearty italain food and two other places in Portland when I want more authentic italian food. If you're in the mood for hearty flavorful food you should give this place a try. I rarely branch out and I did about a year ago and now it is one of my favorite places in Portland. Plus the owner/chef comes around and talks to ya and really seems to take pride in everything. If you look and most of the reviews, then you will see that 80% of them are excellent. But you must try it for yourself to find out. As far as the one reviewer below that claimed to be "italian" --- I have a great idea! Move back to Italy! Portland is getting too populated anyway.
