Very home style feeling atmosphere and the food tastes homemade in the best ways. I've missed food like this!
The best food!
Been going to Mama Z's for many years. While NWA is growing and the food scene is getting better, Mama Z's still has THE best red sauce in the area, hands down. The Chicken Parm is phenomenal.
Is it the most traditional Italian place? Probably not. Is it the best around here? Yes!
