The pasta and sauce are always first rate. The mozzerella cheese sticks appetizer we shared was scrumptious. The two wines we had were both excellent. I wish they would add fish such as sole or salmon or tilapia to have with pasta since I don't eat shrimp or chicken or meat.

We loved the delicious “Joes Special” with homemade pasta and an order of perfectly chilled antipasto. The antipasto was for two but three of us enjoyed it and there was even some leftover to take home. We all enjoyed a great dinner!

I wanted to rate Mama Louisa's highly as I had read good reviews and the idea of an "old fashioned" New York style Italian restaurant was very appealing. It started out well. The ambience was very nice, "old school Italian" in the best sense. Prices were more than reasonable. Service was very good also (although we were there at 4:30 PM ant the restaurant was not busy yet). Aperol spritzes were good and very generous. Deep fried calamari were excellent...
