Read More On Citysearch by honeygramm11 at Citysearch 3/15/2011 - The best cupcake EVERI recently went to Mam Ricotta's for lunch with fellow colleagues...it was my first time. The bread prior to luch was OUTSTANDING. I ordered a chicken sandwhich with a salad and a gargonzla dressing (You know your at a nice place when they dont serve ranch dressing). My chicken sandwhich came out with no Salad...no worries because the fries in the dressing were the best ever. I asked the man...

Read More On Citysearch Citysearch User 8/7/2009 - A great local restaurant.While the restaurant itself can be a little loud with everyone enjoying themselves the food is absolutely delicious. I also like the patio dining on a cool evening. Makes for a great date night location.
Read More On Citysearch Citysearch User 7/4/2009 - Charlottes best...I cannot say enough good things about Mama Ricottas. My girlfriend and I live in South Carolina and drive up to Charlotte once every month or so just to go to this restaurant. Having dined here 20 times since I moved down here I will say its my absolute favorite restaurant in the area. The food is always excellent and the drinks are always great with great service in getting them to you. You ...

Read More On Citysearch SFenlason 2/4/2009 - Best ServiceI ate at Mama Ricotta's for the first time yesterday and i definately will eat there again. Aside from the well priced and delicious food we had, the main ingredient that I remember the most was the staff. The hostess Dana was so pleasant and inviting I was already smiling as soon as she greeted me. I was waiting at the bar for the rest of my party to arrive and Kate, the bartender, was so hel...
Read More On Citysearch bethstroup 1/24/2009 - One of the best!We don't get to go to Mama Ricotta's as much anymore, as we live in University and have small children, but it is still a favorite special night out! Before children, we used to bring all out of town guests to Mama Ricotta's, so they could experience the deliciousness for themselves! Everyone loved it.
Yum, Yum, to the garlic rolls. Yum, Yum, to the salads, as everyone is mouth watering with j...
Read More On Citysearch Citysearch User 1/8/2009 - What happened?I used to ADORE Mama Ricotta's... tried and true, I've sent a million people to this place and even referred my cousin to have wedding rehearsal dinner there. That being said - I was EXTREMELY disappointed with a brunch experience.
Went in - all excited with my fiance, that we were going to have mama ricotta's brunch - everything else there is scrumptious, therefore, the brunch should be to-d...

It takes us 30 min. to get there from our house and well worth the drive. The food at this place is spot on everytime. I ordered the chicken bianco which was to die for, (a favorite of mine,) and my wife stayed close in on her limb and ordered the penne vodka. The food was fabulous as always. the atmosphere was very fam...

Read More On Citysearch pizzajudge7 9/5/2008 - Couldn?t disagree more from holly234?s postWhat a wonderful menu and staff! My wife and I started with two Mamatinis. Now I?ve had pineapple-infused martinis before but these were different. Made with orange and mango vodka, they were a real treat. We decided to have some wine with dinner so our server, Derrick, made some suggestions, which we were very pleased with. For our entrees my wife enjoyed the Spiedini salad while I had th...
Read More On Citysearch slickhead 8/14/2008 - great staff, manager, not so much
My girlfriend and I were there recently for a quick bite. All of the staff was very friendly and professional. The food was good, especially the pizza. Unfortunately the manager running around the restaurant yelling at the staff with his French-accented expletives made us very uncomfortable. Listening to him curse and insult his employees will make us think twice about returning!
Read More On Citysearch holly234 8/9/2008 - Great place to go before a showWe have been here many times, especially before going to a show downtown. The food is very good and plentiful. We also like the wine flights. The bread is especially good (resist the urge to eat too much because the meal is going to be great and plentiful). We enjoy the casual elegance, both inside and on the patio.
Read More On Citysearch kdkohler522 6/18/2008 - Great FoodThere is not bad dish at Mama Ricottas. Everything is wonderful. I have visited the restaurant for lunch, dinner, and had work events catered by Mama's and everything was delicious. Service was great.
Read More On Citysearch Citysearch User 4/1/2008 - Best Italian foodThe lasagna is soooo good. And I top it off with the best bread pudding in the world. We go there at least once every other month for lunch. Highly recommended.
Read More On Citysearch Citysearch User 3/14/2008 - Best Italian in CharlotteThe food at Mama Ricottas is the best Italian food that I have ever eaten. They stay packed at lunch time due to good prices and large portions. In my line of work alot of drug reps order lunch from this establishment and there is always a line waiting to get this delicious food. The bread is to die for.
Read More On Citysearch Citysearch User 3/3/2008 - Mama RicottasMama Ricottas offers authentic Italian food that is delicious. I highly recommend you try the Chocolate Nutella Pie it is fabulous. I feasted on the Chicken Carciofi a chicken entree with caper and wine sauce. A great place for any type of feast.

Read More On Citysearch dmar5143 6/13/2006 - 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...
Read More On Citysearch nutz4labs 1/13/2006 - 350 US$ wine bad tastingUnfortunately 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. Unfortunat...

Read More On Citysearch susanone 12/10/2005 - Best Italian in townMama 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 & dec...
Read More On Citysearch jennymatt 7/26/2005 - 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.
Read More On Citysearch southparkgirl 2/2/2003 - Mama Denny'sThis 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 becau...

A friend introduced me to it, and I have been more than pleased with every visit since. I have introduced other friends to it as well, and they all have loved it. The servers are attentive and very knowledgable about the menu. The atmosphere is comfortable enough to relax in, yet classy enough to impress anyone. The food speaks for itself, trust me. The las...
Read More On Citysearch americaneagle1976 10/21/2002 - Definitely worth the trip!Gotta be my all-time favorite Italian restaurant. They recently moved to the new location and now you actually have some elbow room. Only downer is that you can tell that the building used to be a mexican restaurant. Try anything on the menu and you will be in love. It was the last place we visited before we had to move from the area. Loved it so much that we also had them cater our wedding. ...
Read More On Citysearch lostinohio 8/21/2002 - Mama Mia!!!Mama Ricotta's could easily compete with any restaurant in North Beach, San Francisco's "Little Italy".
Judging from the outside it looks like a strip mall restaurant--but once you take a step inside you forget where you are........
The atmosphere is wonderful, the service is friendly and the food is sensational!
It was a pleasant surprise.

The interior was roomy and colorful except for the black floors, which were all scratched up. The food is all homeade except they don't make spaghetti...cause I guess it's not Italian enough to serve. The waitstaff is very good, but the managment seems to be a little money hungr...
