I was very disappointed. I has veal marsala and was very disappointed. Our party ordered different menu item and we were disappointed in every meal. I would not return.

Our family & friends had mom's 80th birthday party dinner here and were met with kindness and professionalism both on the phone for reservation & in person at thr dinner. We were served by the owners themselves. Our party was handled with so much love and consideration. Thanks to them we will definitely come back for more and highly recommend them to others as Mama Risos is the best place to go in Lake George.

Food is ok. I ordered penne al'vodka which came with a soup or salad, I choose the salad. I ordered my dinner al'dente, with a side of meatballs. One cherry tomato and sparce lettuce. The dressing was supposed to be on the side which is was not. Way too much dressing on the salad for the lack of lettuce that was served. As my meal came out the waitress told me the kitchen couldn't cook my pasta al'dente so they decided to give me rigatoni. Just be honest and tell me you already have the penne pasta pre cooked. The meatballs were the size of tiny golf balls. Total for my dinner, $27, and I didn't get what I ordered. My husband ordered the lasagna, not a good size portion either. His salad or should I say lack of was worse than mine. Needless to say we will not be here again.

Good food, fairly reasonable prices. 3.7% more if youbuse a cc or debit card, not really a big deal, but be prepared. Gnocchi was good, ravioli were excellent. The mussell, both fra Diavlo and wine/butter were excellent. Save that bread to soak up the fra Diavlo sauce! 75.00 for 2, including dessert and coffee.

We were definetly disappointed on our last visit. I made reservations for outdoor dining since we have always enjoyed the patio dining when we go. When we arrived the patio area was not set up nor tables were cleaned. We also noted the area had not been landscaped/maintained as usual...weeds etc. .definitely lacked what we experienced the past 5 years. Our server was the owner and shes usually on her game but not this particular night. The salad plates were left on our table (never removed) when our main course came out. We asked for salt and pepper and they came out with a drinking glass with salt and pepper packets like McDonald's has. A bit tacky for what we were paying. The potions were not what we experienced in the pass. I apologized to my son since we raved about it and stated how disappointed I was. Honestly we will never go back nor will I recommend it to my friends at the Adirondack Nationals event.

Portion sizes seemed small while the prices were a little steep but I guess that's getting food in Lake George. We asked if they could include some plates and silverware in our pick up order and really appreciated that they did. We would be willing to give this place another shot eating in the restaurant vs taking out. Need to remember cash to avoid the almost 4% card fee.

I really wanted to like this place. First though, I tried to get onto the website to look at the menu and apparently it was not working. I tried calling to see if we needed a reservation but no one answered. I tried calling for a few days before our trip.
They had some toys for the kids, which was nice, but the toys were located right in front of the entrance to the kitchen so the servers had to walk over the kids. The toys were also right next to the door to the patio, so all the customers coming in had to walk around the kids. They had a party of about 10 people set up right next to the kids toys as well so they could only play until that table got there so as not to disturb them. It was a little bizarre the way it was set up.
The server was very nice, but she didn't really know the menu. She had to ask the kitchen for almost everything we asked about.
As for the food. Absolutely awful. I ordered fettuccine bolognese. It was meat sauce. Bolognese should be cooked for at least 4 hours and finished with a touch of cream. This was not bolognese and quite honestly just as boring as everything else here. The lasagna was bland with no flavor. The Alfredo was so terrible I couldn't even finish the 1 noodle I tried. I would not go back there. I only gave 2 stars because it kept the kids occupied for a little while and the server was nice.
