About this business
Making "Fresh Homemade Food Since 1956," Mama Louisa's is the old hat among the handful of traditional-style Italian restaurants in Tucson. The recipes for the pasta and various sauces have remained unchanged since 1956, proudly made from scratch daily. The restaurant attracts a diverse afternoon patronage. The lunch crowd typically consists of Air Force servicemen from nearby Davis Monthan Air Force base, groups of business professionals, blue-collar workers from the industrial section of south Tucson, and elderly folk&mdas... read more

Joe's special is the BEST pasta dish around! We love Mama Louisa's homemade pasta and sauce.
Delicious Italian Food! – I have been a longtime loyal customer of Mama Louisa's for 12 years now! In fact, Mama Louisa's was a weekly date night of my husband's and mine when we were dating. Every week we would go there, and of course I had my favorite dish I would order almost every time, their Fettuccine Alfredo and of course can't forget their delicious salad bar! I absolutely love Fettuccine Alfredo and have searched restaurants all over to find good Alfredo and by far, Mama Louisa's is the best. There are so many more ... read more
Best EVER Eggplant Parmesan! – We only come to Tucson for the Gem Show in Jan/ Feb. We have fallen in love with Mama Louisa's eggplant Parmesan and have been trying for the past year to find a restaurant in Denver that even comes close -- no luck! We've tried 7 or 8 restaurants and no one else can do it! YOU HAVE TO TRY IT! And if you don't happen to like that particular dish, you need to try the Italian wedding soup, or Joe's special, or . . . so far we haven't found anything there that isn't excellent!
I LOVE THIS PLACE!!! – FOOD IS EXCELLENT. MY 18 YEAR OLD DAUGHTER HAS BEEN EATING THERE FOR 19 YEARS. SHE JUST DOESN'T REMEMBER BECAUSE MY WIFE WAS PREGNANT WITH HER WHEN SHE HAD HER ONCE A WEEK CRAVING! THE FOOD IS STILL WONDERFUL, WE DON'T VISIT AS MUCH BECAUSE OF OUR RELOCATION. JOES SPECIAL IS STILL THE FAVORITE DISH! WELL WORTH THE TRIP.
Mixed Bag – My first message here and The good thing about this place is that the salad bar was fresh and well done. Breadstick were also good, but never got the requested butter after 3 tries. I had a very overdone veal marsala and the fettucine was tough. Never had tough veal ever and this was the first time someone had fried the veal in batter! YUCK. Mushrooms were canned and tasted it, even through the salty sauce. The minestrone was a bit thicker than I like, but the taste was fine. Partner had veal parmagina. Big note-... read more
Great food,great service – I've been eating at "Mama's" since 1972 and cannot find a better home cooked Italian meal. I'm partial to "Joe's Speacial", Lots of garlic and red peppers.
Avoid this place – Worst meal I have ever had. The pasta was cold, and slimy. The Alfredo sauce tasted like it was made from bad cream. Service was even worse. Slow, and Rude! Avoid this restaurant !!!!!!
50 years and they still can't get it right! – If thease people have been in business for 50 years, how do they manage to make the the worst Italian food we ever ate!!!! The alfredo sauce was runny, the clams were fishy and the noodles tasted like top ramen. The service was slow and waiter could hardly be bothered!!! The best thing about this place was the bread sticks, but don't ask for butter you may never get it!!!! I would pass this up if I were looking for good Italian food!
Very disappointed – Slow service, disappointing food, I'd rather get a pizza delivered to the house from Pizza Hut.
