Absolutely delectable! Every single thing was perfect from the bread & tasty olive oil, to the main meal. Service was excellent. Atmosphere is comfortable & homey. Perfect from start to finish, nice staff & absolutely delicious. Highly recommend!
Mama Louisa’s made me feel I was back in Italy. Authentic cuisine extraordinaire.
Cozy seating in an older building added to the feeling of authenticity. You will not be disappointed.
We accidentally mixed up Mamma Luisa Italian Restaurant with another in Newport RI when I was making reservations on open table. I’m so happy that I made the mistake as Mamma Luisa is a 1000 times better than the other restaurant. The food was delicious. Service was excellent. It feels like real Italian instead of Americanized Italian. We will definitely be returning next year on our yearly vacation

Mamma Luisa Ristorante Italiano offers excellent classic dishes and delicious appetizers. Guests enjoy the cozy ambiance and attentive service, making it a perfect spot for special occasions. This place is described as a "hidden gem" with a "fabulous" atmosphere and "great food." Customers praise the homemade pasta, bread, and wonderful wine selection. They also highlight the lemon cake dessert, spinach, and delicious bolognese and gnocchi. The restaurant is small and quaint, with an "old school" Italian setting. The wait staff was very good. The food was authentic Italian cooking, and felt like visiting someone's house for a good meal. The mista salad was very good, though a small portion. The penne arrabbiata, Tagliatelle al Ragu Bolognese, and Spaghetti Aglio, Olio e Peperoncino were delicious. The Tagliata di Manzo was cooked very well. The stuffed veal special, tuna puttanesca, pasta with seafood, and piccatina di vetello were also excellent. Desserts were great. Mamma Luisa Ristorante Italiano is considered the best Italian restaurant in Newport, offering a consistently excellent dining experience.
