Gumba sandwich review only for takeout. Pretty good. Very moist. Satisfying.It tasted like some type of brown sauce was added. The smoked Gouda also didn’t come through. I’d say almost there overall. Needs something else.I’d probably get something else if I were going back as there are better roast pork sandwiches in the area.

We have eaten here 2x in the past and it was really good. The owner came around the tables and spoke to everyone in Italian or English and made sure every part of your dining experience was wonderful - and it was. We enjoyed it so much that we chose it for our recent dinner with friends. Unfortunately we had an entirely different experience. The ambience was terrible - lights were turned up high. I felt like we were at a pizza place with the kids. The food was not up to past standards. First course salads were wilted and old looking. I didn't eat it. Appetizers were shared and way too small. Server should have recommended we order more when we said we would share (trying sharing a 4inch eggplant rollatini between 6 people! ) Main dishes were just okay. 3 people ordered the Mama's Sunday dinner which was disappointing. Sausage was terrible. One had the Bronzino which was tasty but overpriced for the venue at $44.00!! Very disappointed with the experience. We don't see these friends that often and could have chosen anyplace. Owner was not on site as we asked for him. To be fair, our group dined here on a Thursday night and my other experiences were all weekends. Perhaps they cater to the pizza crowd during the week. Regardless, I probably won't return for dinner.

The place smells amazing as you wait for your food.We had lunch in the dining room, ordering the homemade mozzarella sticks, a side of Italian sausage swimming in marinara and a cheese steak. All these dishes were winners.This place is as local as you can get with regards to Italian food on the jersey shore and it completely captures that flavor that I crave whenever I'm in the area and can't find anywhere else in the country.Will definitely be back.

Mama Mia's is a hidden gem located in the ShopRite shopping center in Marmora, and it has been on my list for quite a long time. It has a small dining room that you traverse through the take out counter to get into. All dinners come with complimentary salad and bread (the bread was not to good, kind of tough), our party of fours one complaint. Chicken parmigiana with a side of spaghetti, was good, I had Sacheti Monte Bianco; confetti bag pasta filled with fontina cheese, prosciutto sauteed with shitake mushrooms, sundried tomatoes, garlic, white wine, reduced with a touch of cream and parmesan cheese, a very different pasta dish, and tasty. MDW had bronzino, filleted at the table my the owner, she said it was delious, but it unfortunately had quite a few bones which made it hard to eat. Another in our party had cannoli which was tasty.
The food was average, and the service was terrible. We waited close to 50 minutes for our main course to arrive. There was one person taking orders for all the tables. There were fruit flies that irritated a number of patrons.

Stopped here on the way to the beach. Pizza was great and servers friendly but they could not tell my why there was a vhs cover for Winter Kills on the wall does anyone have any insight on this for me? I love the film and want to know the reason for it being displayed next to all the other restaurant awards and

LaCasetta in Oceanview is heads above this place. No comparison. Mama Mia’s think Chef Boy Ardee and Spaghetti o’sParking: Park around the side by the dumpster and you will see all the “homemade” sauces come out of a can
