About this business
Italian food is well-loved by all, but who serves the best authentic Italian fare? Mama Ricotta's is one strong contender for this coveted honor. The Italian soul believes in hearty meals and lavish spreads of well seasoned and mouth-watering food. Mama Ricotta certainly seems to achieve that. This eatery is a quaint little place which serves up the most genuine of Italian food. The food is created out of made-from-scratch mozzarella cheese, fresh seasonal veggies and soft breads. Drinks, to go with the food are also stocked... read more

Standard Italian fare that's a far cry from your basic pasta in red sauce. – In Short True Italian-style pizzas, a stylish atmosphere and the signature penne alla vodka, penne with sauteed pancetta in a spicy tomato sauce with pepper vodka, keep Mama Ricotta's filled with people seeking a good, inexpensive meal. Other standards, which can be ordered in family-sized portions, include linguine with clam sauce, angel hair with tomato basil, lasagna, and rigatoni amatriciana.
jam packed – went there for lunch at 12.30 on a monday and the place was jammed packed..service fair considering the crowd..prices very innexpensive and good portions..had chicken scarpello over spagetti..tasty and good portions..bread was 1 bisquit and 3 hard rolls laced with a touch of olive oil..definetly a popular place and worth going back providing you have time at lunch or diner to wait a little..

Best Italian food I ever ate!!! – This was our first visit at Mama Ricotta's. I live in Midland, NC and went to this restaurant with some friends. Our friends had eaten there many times and told us it was good. I agree!! This Itailan restaurant has the best Italian food that I've ever eaten. It is authentic and not too Americanized. I tasted "polenta" for the first time because I've never known another ITalian restaurant in this area that serves this. I ordered "Chicken Carciofi" with polenta. This was very delicious. Althou... read more

350 US$ wine bad tasting – Unfortunately I went there the wrong night, the food was fine but I had been gently obliged to consume 350 US$ bottle of Gaja Barolo that was VERY BAD. It looks that the money were the first thing of the restaurant policy. I am Italian and I never been treated in that manner. I would not recommend a restaurant that act in that way. Italian food is base on good feeling and good service. Unfortunately I couldnt find both. OWNER even does not appear, he just obliged me trough his staff to Pay the full... read more
Best! – I love the new location for this Charlotte favorite! Get the Chicken Carcioffi. The garlic twists are a must! Their Tiramisu is sooo delicious. Nice big portions!
Best Italian in town – Mama Ricottas is by far the best italian restaurant in town. They've changed their menu a bit, removed the Mama's Pasta (which is my favorite) but they'll still make it if you ask. All of their pastas are excellent, terrific appetizers, wonderful desserts...and don't forget the bread knots with dipping oil! The atmosphere could be better, I don't care for the wild interior design & decorating.
YUM!!! – Wow! I am absolutely in love with the Penne ala Vodka. The individual size portion was very generous! Dinner for two was one soup, two glasses of wine, two entrees, one dessert plus tax and tip was under $50. Plus, there was enough left over for lunch the next day. A "MUST TRY" in Charlotte. It was a little noisy, but It was a busy Friday night.
Business response:
Thanks for your feedback and I am glad you enjoyed the Penne alla Vodka. It has been one of our signature dishes for years. As for the noise, we are undergoing a renovation this summer and plan on adding some additional accoustic panels. Hope to see you again soon. Warm Regards, Frank Scibelli fscibelli@mamaricottasrestaurant.com
Mama Denny's – This place is a totally forgettable mismanged mosh pit. On a recent Saturday at 7pm we called 30 min. ahead yet our party of 6 waited over an hour to be crammed into a booth for 4. Unhappy waitress then proceeded to spill olive oil on the table and coffee cream on one of us. Food arrived like the kitchen was understaffed- late and lukewarm. Only plus was that they didn't charge for desert because of the spills. My first and last visit to this overrated bistro.
