DeliciousThen salad with amazing homemade dressing.Pablo’s chicken was delicious.Finally the tiramisu was outstanding.Finally found a restaurant in Essex where you’re not paying $30 for a plate of fried junk. But rather someone has crafted a meal for you.Well done guys!

It was our first time at Mama's Place and we were SO pleased.
It was a Saturday night and although we didn't have a reservation, they were able to accommodate 4 of us.
Reservations are recommended.
Food was fantastic. Server Ryan was a mind reader!

We were visiting friends who live just outside Windsor, Ontario and wanted to head out to dinner. They suggested Mama's Place in Essex. From the outside, it is a small unassuming place, but inside it is intimate and cozy. There were so many appealing items on the menu, that it was hard to decide what to order. Finally, I opted for the Garlic Shrimp as a starter and Pasta Carbonara as the main. Others at the table ordered stuffed mushrooms, Caesar Salad, Veal Marsala, Veal Amore, and Pasta di Mara. Everyone was very pleased with their meals and the prices were reasonable. I can attest to the quality of the two dishes I ordered. They were very flavourful and plentiful. And I am all about flavour. Two opted for Tiramisu for dessert. Our service was very good and at the end of the meal, we got to meet Paola, co-owner and chef. It is clear that she cooks with love and puts her heart and soul into her creations.My only wish is that they had a more extensive wine list. They offer what I am sure pleases most of their guests, but a wine geek like myself would have preferred some higher-end options. None-the-less, we will definitely be back next time we are in town.

The food was amazing. I had the Pablo chicken & an arancini ball and it definitely did not disappoint. Such a great meal, and the staff were so kind.

Great family restaurant! Pablo's chicken is the best.
We LOVE this place! They always have delicious Italian cuisine. The family owned business has the best staff. We always feel so welcome. We started coming here during the pandemic when it was takeout only. We finally dined in for the first time and it was great. They were busy but we didn’t feel like we waiting long. You could tell that the food was freshly prepared! We will be back!

I ordered the pasta blush with added chicken here a few weeks ago. My first time trying was really good, but this time however, was disappointing. The pasta barely had any sauce and was pretty bland. I tried mixing it around cause I thought the sauce might have settled at the bottom, but no, very little sauce. The next thing was the chicken. The chicken was very bland and super dry. Just an all around bad dish. wouldn’t recommend.
Delicious food, fantastic service!!
