We ate in their vertis north branch. I had no idea how their food tasted and I did not do any research so I wasn't really expecting much. After my 1st bite, I immediately knew that my decision to eat here was right. I absolutely loved their mama lou's special and quatro formaggi pizza. The pasta I ordered is also one of the best I have tasted. Even their home made iced tea was good. Their price is reasonable for the quality of the food. Definitely coming back to eat here. I highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a great itallian dining experience!!!

Mama Lou's Italian Kitchen is our comfort restaurant, me and my wife absolutely love this place, and whenever we have friends and family who wants to experience good food here in the south, Mama Lou is always one of our options. The food is great and the service is good. We always go to the bf branch since it is near our place, but we also checked out the evia branch, both are good but we liked the BF branch more, just hope we can have the cannoli in the bf branch soon. We have tried a lot of the food but what we usually order are mushroom rissotto (my wife absolutely live this), baked italian meatballs, i love their seafood olio, pizza bianca, or margherita pizza, the marbled ribeye steak is really, really good, its not thick like all the other steaks from steak houses but Mama Lou's marbled ribeye steak blows them away. We also like their carbonara, pizza saliccia (not sure if i spelled that correctly), gambas, braised beef ribs, and the mushroom chicharon, really a must try, my wife also likes the gnocchi and we also like vesuvio, its fairly new, but we usually share one order because its really hearty. The tiramisu in Mama Lou is my favorite, i like the generous mascarpone and the lady fingers a bit wet so its not dense, paired with their brewed coffee. We have eaten here way too many to count and its always great, during off hours and during peak hours, but of course you should also adjust your service expectation during peak hours, considering a lot of people are dining, the servers, specially at the bf branch, gives a good effort to make sure everyone is given utmost attention. Hope this quality of food and service never wane and more success to the business.
I recommend the mushroom chicharon and seafood olio!!! Super yummy!! ❤️❤️ tip: bread’s refillable. The dip they give you has balsamic + honey so it’s unusually sweet and malapot. If you want the traditional Italian taste, you can ask for Italianbalsamic vinegar (yung maasim) by request.
I've been wanting to try this restaurant, and I finally did, with a special occasion -- my parents' 34th anniversary. The ambiance is nice. It has a feel-at-home vibe to it.
We ordered chef's salad, pepperoni pizza ('cos my nephew doesn't like too much veggies and anchovies), bacon poutine, rollo di pollo, and truffle mac 'n cheese. Delicious! That's all i can say. � And the Mama Lou's special iced tea is also a must-try.
We enjoyed it as a family. Rest assured, we'll be coming back.
P.S. I'd like to thank the staff for preparing a complimentary dessert for my parents' anniversary. Keep up the good work! �
Mama Lou's is the best! Must haves include the poutine, spinach and goat's cheese pizza and the Mama Lou's special pizza.

Very delicious food! We enjoyed every dish we ordered! We recommend the Grilled Tuna Belly, Mac & Cheese, Salpicao and most especially the Pizza Margherita - all a MUST TRY! Also capped it with a dessert to die for - the Mama Lou's Cheesecake topped with Mango - all oh so YUMMY!!!
My boyfriend [100008675855654:Carlos La Rosa] brought me here yesterday to celebrate our first anniversary. So this place will forever be memorable. The ambiance and the setting of the place caught my attention, paintings, woods, wines, ang sarap sa mata. Wide variety of food to choose from. We ordered Mozzarella Sticks for appetizer, Beef Salpicao and Seafood Pasta plus Raspberry Juice and Mama Lou's Special Iced Tea for drinks. Didn't order desserts we were so damn full. And everything tasted really good. We are definitely gonna come back. �

I love everything about mama Lou's bf. The ambiance, the food, the staff. I always make it a point to dine in at least 2x a month :) if there's one thing that needs improvement though is the parking but aside from that, every experience had been wonderful :)

I was happy with the food but most specially with the service of your waiter Josh��
Josh was very attentive and fast.
Very seldom am I impressed but he was exceptional!
I always bring my baby dog with me whenever I dine out. I ate at Mama Lou's for the first time today and I was soooo touched by the gesture of your staff Mr. Kevin who offered my baby a bowl of ice cold water without me asking him or anyone from your restaurant. It was the first time a restaurant do such a sweet gesture and I really really appreciate that.
Not to mention, their food are sooo yummy, ambiance is okay as well. Service is superb �Will definitely come back again. And hopefully, you guys breed more Kevin on your other branches.
Thank you again. ��
Quality food! Loved the buttery escargot, the flavorful risotto, my perfectly cooked burger steak smothered in mozzarella... everything was delicious. Service was also good, the waiters were very attentive. Highly recommended!

Simple yet classy ambiance
Superb food
Hospitable staff
Top quality service :)
5 points for 5 stars!
Ps. Thanks for the free 3rd yr anniversary dessert :)
My go to resto whenever I crave for carbonara
Out go to restaurant at Evia. Staffs are friendly and nice. We always order Seafood Aglio olio and Spinach and goat cheese pizza. Our new favorite is the squid heads. Very nice ambiance and feels like home. Will always go back to this place.
AMBIENCE
Chairs are available outside the restaurant when the branch is full and restaurant size is two floors. I found this branch most interesting when I used to walk by and notice the signage "Papa Lou's" instead of "Mama Lou's."
FOOD
Pan Fried Beef Scaloppine and Mama Lou's Special Pizza were our choices of the day. All veggies were refreshing and slightly crunchy especially the alfalfa and arugula! Quality of the prosciutto was spot on and the mangoes were just as refreshing as the veggies, making the pizza a good mix of hot and cold. Pizza was highly addictive and easy to finish due to the thin crust. Mashed potatoes were typically good and I think their service water might've had a hint of lemon.
SERVICE
Servers were proactive in giving us more free bread and I like that they left an order slip on our table; it's good for tracking. VAT-inclusive but Service Charge to be added.
Wasnt able to capture a photo of all the food that I ordered. I looove their Mama Lou’s pizza!! I can eat a whole bunch—not to exaggerate but it’s really delicious. I also looove thier pasta!!!
I’ve been ate many times at mama lous but in this branch the ambience is good with cozy feeling inside there. It was a good experience, I want eat again here

Planned a surprise (yet intimate) birthday party for my aunt here!
It was a very epic night since my mom asked the manager and some crew to bring out the cake once the celebrant has arrived and the description is "wearing a corporate attire". They almost thought it was me (bcus I was also wearing a blazer) but then my mom signaled that I'm not the bday celebrant. LOL! What a very Spiderman-like moment.
Anyways, when my aunt arrived, the orders were ready and the cake was brought out. The crew sang and my aunt blowed the candle, made a wish. Time for dinner!
What we ordered were a regular Tabarnes, large Hawaiian pizza, Lucio's Truffle pasta, Seafood Alfredo, Spaghetti alla Carbonara, Truffle Mac & Cheese, and a pitcher of their signature Iced Tea. I liked their pizzas, they're good-- and the pasta that I liked the most was their Seafood Alfredo, that tasted more like carbonara than the spag alla carbo. Or maybe I'm just into creamy carbonara versus dry? Their iced tea tasted a bit like flowers, though (yep, I know their taste, lol).
Hoping to come back soon and try their other pizzas!
We love italian food and while strolling around evia, we found this restaurant packed with people during dinner time.
Since a lot of people were dining here, we assumed the food was good, and indeed it was!
Ordered
ONION RINGS
- Came in hot and crispy with a yummy mayo dip on the side
TABARNES
-Had ample amount of toppings and absolutely loved it when paired with their 'hot honey'
LUCIO'S TRUFFLE PASTA
-Creamy and not too salty, just right for my taste
MANGO CHEESE CAKE
-very simple flavors : Cheesecake topped with Mangoes. Classis taste, just the way it should be.
Serving size was good enough for 2 pax
Staff was attentive but forgot that we asked for extra parmesan. Since we're almost done with our food, we didnt bother to follow up.
Anyway, the food tasted great even without add ons. :)
Will definitely come back!! 😁😁😁👍
Always our default resto when we crave for Italian food. My daughter's fave so it was just fitting that we spent her 15th birthday here. It was a busy day but they really took care of our group of 30 people. Great service!
First time to try Mama Lou's and this branch. I was with my parents and my son (5yo kid). It was a pleasant visit indeed. They did not fail my expectations on the pizza we ordered (prosciutto funghi). The crust was very crunchy and the sizing is perf. They offer refill for the arugula and alfaalfa sprouts. The pasta texture however is a bit disappointing since it wasnt al dente. Its a bit undercooked honestly. But hey no one's perfect. Just room for improvement. The staff are very friendly even though they're very busy. Keep it up team! I think offer few dishes for the kids, that's all. 😊

One of the best restaurants we’ve tried in the South! My favorite is their Salpicao which goes perfectly with either mashed potato or rice. Their Mama Lou’s Iced Tea is also a must-try! Other favorites are the mushroom chicharon, lucio’s truffle pasta and rib eye steak! Will visit again to try their other dishes. 👍🏻❤️😊
Must try!!
I loved my dining experience in Mama Lou's! I ordered their Ribeye steak which was a little thin for me but, considering that it was on an affordable price, it was great! The steak was well-seasoned and the side dishes were delicious as well. Their pizza and iced tea were great as well.
I would rate this a 5 star if it weren't for one of their staff. I asked for a hot sauce for my pizza since I saw some tables had tabasco and the staff told me in an unpleasant (in my standards) tone that they did not have more tabasco. I feel like the staff could have asked some tables that were already done eating if he can take their tabasco or in the restaurant's part, they could have made sure they had enough tabasco for all tables.
I would still highly recommend this restaurant! Maybe the staff were just having a busy day at that time.
Must try if you love Italian comfort food. You would t go wrong with their pizza, steak and spaghetti vongole. One thing is that its full of customers that sometimes they cannot anticipate your needs however they are very polite and attend to you as soon as possible
Mama Mia!
Pasta done right. Never thought a simple aglio olio would be very satisfying. And they have been consistent whichever branch you go to.
True to it’s name, a delicious Italian kitchen.

ordered Poutine, Mozzarella Sticks, Truffle Mac & Cheese and Spaghetti Seafood Olio. all good! also used the 2+2 drinks of Gold by ordering Mama Lou's Iced Tea and I must say it's one of the best iced teas I've tasted!
I haven't tried any "cozy" Italian restaurants before but since my friend recommended this, I did. And I went here with my girlfriend for our anniversary and we wern't disappointed. We ordered Grilled Tuna Belly and Chicken Masala for Mains, Truffle Mac & Cheese (This one is 11/10 I really loved it), Vongole Olio for Pasta, 2 Flavored Pizza (Spinach and Goat Cheese + All Meat) plus 2 Mama Lou's Iced Tea.
All of them were excellent especially the Mac & Cheese! Ambiance was very nice and their staff were accomodating.
I'll give this one a 5-star and I will definitely come baaaack. ♥
Mama Lous never fails to amaze me as always. This time i went to their branch here in Evia and i am amazed as to how 'home-y' it feels to be here. Felt like i never left the BF branch.
Their main store is on the 2nd floor of Evia - you can enter both on the mall entrance or on their entrance on the ground floor.
Upon entering you'd be greeted by the crew - seats are readily available so we got our seats accordingly.
With or without the Zomato Gold this resto serves great dishes. It doesn't disappoint.
Ordered my favorite Mama Lous special and Tabarnes - both tastes amazing. I love the balance of the flavors in your palate. Seafood Olio is still one of my favorites when it comes to pasta. Also their Beef Salpicao is one of the best I've tasted so far (best paired with rice IMO)
Will come back again and again to Mama Lous.
No take out for zomato gold orders :( but nevertheless, food is good. Mushroom risotto is soooo good. Maybe just next time, be good to zomato gold guests.
Hi, Mama Lou’s Kitchen! My family and I can eat here everyday! My personal favorite is your Seafood Olio Pasta partnered with Al Nero Risotto swimming in your most luscious chili oil! I love it here, always!
Lunch place? Dinner place? Tito/Tita Place? Yup! This is the place. For me, this is the best italian restaurant that i have tried here in the Philippines. Food is always great, ambiance imitates their first restaurant in BF Homes Paranaque, and service is ofcourse, superb.
As soon as you enter, someone will guide you to your table, house bread will be served together with balsamic vinegar and olive oil + house water.
Overall experience is always 5 out of 5...
This will definitely be a staple place to go to.
I’ve always passed by Mama Lou’s in BF but this is the first time I’ve tried this restaurant. My friend and I were still quite full from drinking coffee when we ate here, so we’re only able to order 2 dishes.
We ordered Pepata and Grilled Tuna Belly. The pepata was really good. It was really flavorful. The serving should be good for 2, but my friend was able to eat all of it by himself. (It was that good, I guess.) I had the grilled tuna belly, which was also really good, and the side of mashed potato was even better than I’d expeceted. We also ordered Vanilla Iced Coffee, but I guess coffee wasn’t their specialty.
Will surely come back and try more of their food.
![Zomato]( "Recensione")
As expected, Mama Lou’s never fails to bring a smile on my face! Loved the food and the fact that we were able to maximize our Zomato Gold (3) privilege. We ordered 1 pizza, 2 pasta, 2 risotto, a platter and a burger steak meal!
I loved the sausage & fries from their platter. I also tried the fried calamari from their City Sampler and it was sooo tasty! The burger steak was the BOMB 🔥 It had cheese in the center of it and the gravy tasted like home. Of course we had Mama Lou’s Special for our pizza (must try!) and Spinach & Goats Cheese (wasn’t able to try due to being full from all the food I ate) Then for our pasta we got Lucio’s Truffle Pasta and Spaghetti Seafood Olio! No words for the truffle pasta since it’s my go-to comfort food. I didn’t try the seafood olio as I’m not much of a seafood eater but I can tell you this- My dad really liked it! And to think he is hard to please especially when dining out 😅 For our risottos we had the Tartufo and Salted Egg with Pancetta. Please make sure to always get Tartufo whenever you’re going to order a risotto! It will never disappoint you! Believe me. I’ll give the salted egg with pancetta 6.5/10 as I didn’t much like the combination of salted egg & pancetta. It was kind of salty and has “umay” factor to it. Lastly, the Mama Lou’s Pitcher, me and my older sister liked it especially when it’s cold though my dad and brother didn’t like it 😅
Ambiance 10/10 - We were the only table downstairs as the 2nd floor was jam-packed. The room was well-lit, air-conditioned and neat.
Service 9/10 - Took atleast 3 times just to get a glass of ice but overall very friendly and attentive.
Food 11/10 - What can I say? EXCELLENT FOOD. No words but thank you for always providing quality food and service. My dad is very hard to please particularly when dining out since he always compare the food to market price but this one is an exemption! He loved it and kept talking about how good the food was while we were eating ❤️
Our total bill was PHP 2,091 using 3 Zomato Gold. Not bad!! Totally worth it 😍
Good service & amazing food!!! Mama Lou’s is my go-to with family & friends every time we crave for pasta/pizza. Ive been too all branches and they all have this cozy, homey feel which I love ❤️ super friendly staff too!
Had the chance to try this in Evia mall in muntinlupa and in Ayala Vertis North, but their foods are consistently high quality and delicious: from pizza, pasta, viands etc. Worth the money!

Mama Lou’s has always been one of our favorites ever since we’ve dined in their original homey restaurant in BF Homes. The food in the various branches remain consistent —- the taste is luscious and the presentation is very appetizing. Combined with the cozy and beautiful ambience in their restaurants, it’s always a great experience to dine at Mama Lou’s.
Sulit dito. One of my favourite restos to dine with my wife. Aglio Olio pasta is the best here and as well as their pizza, with alfa-alfa and some green toppings. From their Appetizer the must-try is their fried chicken. Their own cordon-bleu is something to eat as main dish.
The blanca pizza was great, spaghetti bolognese was great, too. Get the mozarella sticks, very nice. Food arrived promptly and the crew were very accommodating and attentive.

Went here for a post valentine’s date, the ambience is good, it seems like a casual fine dining.
My boyfriend and I call ourselves “italian food enthusiasts” and everything here sufficed our taste buds. We had chicken wings with gravy, lucio’s truffle pasta, a half of spinach goat cheese pizza and mama lou’s special pizza, and beef salpicao.
Lucio’s truffle pasta- 5/5! Generous serving, good for 2-3 persons, taste like it’s cooked and prep inside a cheesewheel.
Chicken wings- This is really good to balance the creaminess of the pizza and pasta, there is something behind the gravy that made me crave for it more!
Spinach goat cheese pizza- Aghhh this one’s 6/5 lol! This is really good that I think I could finish a whole 14 in. 😂 the alfalfa compliments everything in this pizza
Mama lou’s special pizza- this is good too! Not your typical pizza as it comes with a fresh mango fruit slice (?) in every pizza slice
Salpicao- 4/5. Ordered this bc of the suggestions I read here in zomato, beef was really juicy and oozing in every bite but a lil too salty for my taste.
Servers were attentive, prices were quite on the expensive side but of course the quality of the foods served were really worth it! ❣️
It was our first time to eat here at Mama Lou’s and we used our Zomato 1+1. The place has a cozy, warm vibe to it and the servers were friendly and attentive.
We ordered the following:
Mushroom chicharon - my husband loved it. But I think they can still further reduce or drain the oil to make it better.
Truffle mac n cheese - loved this!
Pizza - what I liked here is that you can have 2 flavors in one order. We had spinach & goat cheese and all meat pizza which we both think are a good combination. 5/5 for their pizza.
Overall a very pleasant experience. We will definitely come back to try the other pizzas.
One of the best italian restos in the metro. We got their pastas, pizzas, and risottos. Everything was super yummy and very hearty. 2 thumbs up.
This is my husband’s new favorite restaurant. He’ll eat here every week if he can. I haven’t tried many dishes but the ones I’ve ordered were great. 4 cheese pizza is a new favorite. Great service and tasteful interiors. An ideal family restaurant.
Sobrang in love ako sa Spinach and Goats Cheese pizza! Kung wala lang akong disiplina sa pagkain ay kaya ko siguro itong kalahatiin nang mag-isa. Creamy at cheesy pero hindi nakakaumay. Hindi rin nakaka-overwhelm ang gulay kaya pwede ito sa mga ayaw sa herby taste.
Hindi ko alam ngayon kung paborito ko pa rin ba ang sa Wildflour dahil sobrang sarap ng kanilang Truffle Mac & Cheese! Hindi rin naman magpapatalo ang creaminess ng Seafood Alfredo.
Ang dami rin ng serving nila ng Mushroom Chicharon. Actually, sa appetizer na City Sampler pa lang ay halos busog na ako. Okay na okay ang mga dip.
Sana lang din ay mas bumilis pa ang serbisyo lalo na ang pagsalin nila ng tubig. Pero, siguradong babalik kami rito dahil masayang kumain at pampamilya talaga!
We used Zomato gold here and we’re assisted politely by the staff w/c they should for everyone. The food was just okay except for the chicken wings (dry) overall great experience.
this is the second time We dine at mama lou’s, the ambience are nice, the staffs are polite and attentive. we ordered the City Sampler plate, 2 large pizza. meat lovers and mama lou’s special. I didnt expect that I would like the mama lou’s special, What I like about it is the non-overpowering taste of meat and also sweet taste of peach. I never imagine peach and pizza will be a good combination. We like it overall, and we are looking forward to dine in again.
The overall experience was fine. My family had pizza and pasta. We liked the pizza and the seafood pasta with cream sauce. The bolognese though was a little off because the noodles was not evenly cooked. The service was a little slow too. We're planning to go back to try other dishes and hoping I can give them the five stars.
Overall, I liked the food (especially the seafood olio!!!) in Mama Lou’s Evia Branch! The staff was very friendly as well! Would definitely go back!

I actually tried their pioneer resto in bf homes well the taste and quality is still the same with this branch.
Homey feels and old fashioned ambience will make you want to eat more and be merry with your family. We had a brief lunch for Christmas season and from the service, food and serving time I can say that it's superb. Courteous servers and food was on point and the quality of the food actually deserves the price what you pay for.
We ordered
quattro formaggio 5/5
chef salad 4/5 - my mom is not fond of italian vinaigrette lmao
onion rings 5/5 - loved it
city sampler 5/5 - loved it
chicken pesto penne 5/5 -- generous amount of pesto and olive oil with chicken were served.
good food and perfect for date nights as well.
Tried Mama Lou’s today for lunch. The ambience was nice, it was Christmas-y and well lit.
We ordered the following items and it was delicious.
Mama lous iced tea, Watermelon shake, Lasagna, Chicken piccata rice, Quatro formaggi, Grilled tuna belly, and Pan fried beef scaloppine.
I personally loved and recommend their grilled tuna belly.
The price is a little high but still affordable.
Great customer service! Staff is attentive to our needs and provides service with big smiles. Food is also delicious and affordable. Will definitely dine again!
i highly recommend their mama lou’s special pizza and truffle pasta! Those two are my favourite! I always order it whenever we’re there and I always ask for extra balsamic cream & alfalfa! ❤️😋
ps. i also love their mama lou’s iced tea! it’s so refreshing and there’s something in it that is so addicting! haha! 😋
+ Friendly staff
+ Loved the carbonara
- long serving time (estimated around more or less 40 mins to completely served our food)
- the pizza bianca tasted different. We can't seem to find the taste of the mozzarella. We had to add some ketchup so that the pizza can be a bit tasty.
+ Though after we payed our bill, they served us a free half slice of tiramisu cake because of the long serving time.
Overall it's a good place to eat with your loved ones.
First Time to dine here and the best I’ve tried is their braised beef.. super soft and tasty.. highly recommended.. try it for yourself..
Their fries topped with gravy sauce and meat that is also taste good.. If you ordered pizza here you can request to mixed two flavors.. nice for that option so you can taste other flavors.. 5 star for the food..surely will come back..
One of the best Italian restos around. Glad they decided to expand, from their homey biz in BF, to several branches across the Metro. Top fave dishes are Truffle Cream Mushroom pasta, Arrabiata and Mama Lou's special pizza. But i really love everything on their menu, even their complimentary bread with olive oil & balsamic dip.😉
Loved everything that we ordered. Poutine, salpicao, pizza, and pasta. If you wish something out of the ordinary, try mama lous. We dined both at Evia and Nuvali and both places are clean and well maintained. ❤️

Mama Lou’s food is always good no matter how many times you eat there. The quality is always the same and has not changed since the 1st time we ate here. Even with the new food in the menu... is just as good as their best sellers. You know that they really perfected each food before they release it on their menu.
Apart from the great food... their customer service is superb. Always serving with a smile and with enthusiasm.
If you have no particular resto in mind to eat or if you have the dilemna “ikaw bahala saan tyo kakain” or “saan tayo kakain?”.... my answer to you is Mama Lou’s! Always a great choice.
It was a catch up over dinner with my cousins and we went for Italian this time. We all agreed to dine at Mama Lou’s kitchen and I must admit that I like the location and the ambience. We all sat outside as the restaurant was full that night. The food we ordered were starter platter, pizza, pasta and paired it with blueberry cheesecake as my favourite dessert and chocolate cake. I absolutely loved the food we had that night because my Italian food cravings were satisfied! Highly recommended!
We celebrated my Mom’s birthday at Mama Lou. Indeed my mom enjoyed the food and the interior of the restaurant. The setup is like an ancestral house of an italian family. I love how quick they serve their food. They also have appetizers while waiting. Their service crew are great and approachable. They are also attentive to setup the table and place refreshments. I look forward to taste more of their menu specially the spinach and got cheese pizza! Looks delish! Will definitely be back with my family! :)

Food-4/5
Location-5/5
Price-4/5
Service-4/5
Food- Linguini Vongole was suprisingly flavorful. I wished they had put more clams on it. My personal favorite dish from their menu is Mama Lou's special pizza. It's a thin crust pizza with mango, tomato, mozzarella, prosciutto, arugula, and balsamic cream. I eat it by putting alfafa in the pizza and rolling it. I also tried their Italian Sausage Promodoro. I like the very subtle taste of it. For the dessert, we tried their cheesecake and mango crepe. I was happier with the mango crepe as the mangoes were all riped. I didn't taste any sour/unripe mango.
Location- It's located in a noncrowded mall. You can find it easily and the ambience is very homey.
Price- Not bad. The price is reasonable for its quality.
Service- Staffs were attentive to cater your needs. However, there was one time when my mom asked me to buy a take away pizza and they forgot to put hot sauce/chili peppers on it. So just to spare yourselves from the disappointment, have the initiative to check your take away order before leaving the restaurant.
My favorite resto in Evia! Excellent service, food is deliciozo and price is reasonable. Make sure you drop by and order the goat cheese pizza. 😘
Ambience is good, not so crowded, pizza tabarnes is also good, city platter is a must try, sausage is tasty. Pasta is as well a must try order.
the place is nice. attentive staff. we ordered vesuvio which is my favorite and it was the bomb!! real italian flavors in your mouth!! we also ordered carbonara which was ok, the pizzas are really good too. we ordered the pizza margherita and pizza bianca which was both good. real thin crust goodness.
the menu is a bit pricey but it was worth it. real italian goodness!
———————————-
came back july1,2019!
this branch has a really nice ambience. staff was nice and attentive. was able to use booky as well! celebrated my sisters birthday here! ordered vesuvio, truffle mac n cheese, carbonara, pizza margherita and bianca. everything was awesome! we had a great dinner over all. definitely recommended!
Even though Mama Lou's now has a chain of restaurants, it still feels like a nice, homey independent restaurant. The staff and service are great. The food is fresh and made to order. On this visit we ordered the Caesar Salad, the City Sampler, Pizza Tabarnes, Pizza Salsiccia and the Risotto Di Mare. Everything tasted good and there were no leftovers at all. The prices are pretty good too for what you get. The staff even brought out a slice of Italian Tiramisu with a personal message for my sister's birthday. Highly recommended restaurant.
It's my second time dining at mama lou's. The first was in their don jose branch in santa rosa. I'm satisfied with the quality of the food that was served and the service they provided. Loved the pizza.
2 girlfriends and I went to their branch in Evia Lifestyle Mall. We ordered the ff.:
Bacon Poutine
Mama Lou's Special Pizza
Truffle Mac and Cheese
Bacon Poutine was crazy good that we had to order it a second time. There's something that makes the pizza unique to my taste, but just can't pinpoint. Perhaps I need to eat it again to verify. I loved the mac and cheese, so simple yet it does the trick: homey, comfort food that gave me a good vibe just by eating.
I want to try other dishes on the menu, so will go back soon!

Everything about Mama Lou’s is amazing. I celebrated my birthday here alone (medyo because I was facetime-ing a friend) earlier. The food, the interior, the staff, and even the wifi connection (lol). I booked for 1 person through Zomato, and the confirmation was prompt. When I arrived, a staff member immediately assisted and seated me, and handed me the menu. The food was served quicker than I expected and everything’s still hot, like smoking hot (literally lol).
I ordered three things: Spaghetti Meatballs , Poutine, Refillable Iced Tea.
Spaghetti Meatballs - Amazing. It’s for one serving only but just eating a quarter of it made me full, but I guess the iced tea takes part in that too. I love the meatballs and the pasta itself. I love how it was served to me hot and freshly cooked. I danced on the first bite (quite literally but not really because I was only shaking myself, can’t dance sorry lol). From my first until the last bite, I loved it. Nothing to complain about the dish.
Poutine - I ordered a poutine with no bacon. It was good. The fries were quite bland without the gravy, but of course that’s why it has to be eaten with the gravy (lol). I think I left it too long while facetime-ing my friend because when I ate it, it was mushy (but I get it, it’s not supposed to be left untouched for too long).
Iced Tea - This deserves a separate portion in this review because I liked it so much. I ordered the refillable one, which is only 85 pesos, so I did not expect much but bruh, I loved it. I don’t know if it’s just me but there’s something about it that makes the taste unforgettable, though I think for some it’s just a regular iced tea but I don’t know. I just loved it.
The service is, once again, amazing. First refill of my iced tea was when it was just a quarter less full, and whenever they see my glass not full and I’m not currently drinking it, they’d excuse themselves to refill my glass. Safe to say I never got thirsty throughout. A basket of bread was served together with the menu and a glass of water, didn’t really like it though.

Loved the ambience.
The service was above average because they were accommodating but it was hard to get their attention since we were seated outside.
Food was great! Loved their pasta and pizza! The truffle Mac and cheese was delicious. Will definitely go back to try other stuff in their menu
If you want legit Italian food in the South, Mama Lou's is for you! We were so suprised with how delicious food was over there. I would definitely go back to this place when I start craving for yummy Italian food!
One of the best italian places in the metro! Everything on the menu is just perfect! You really can never go wrong when you dine in here. There’s a great selection of pizza and pasta—even the iced tea is sooo good!
For the pasta, I recommend the Vesuvio. For the pizza, Mama Lou’s Special would be an all-time favorite as well as their Quattro Formaggi!
We've always wanted to try Mama Lou's but Paranaque is pretty far. But, alas, a branch opened near my parent's. Hence:
Place: This is pretty spacious for it has 2 floors and both can be directly accessed (1st on the mall entrance and 2nd within the main mall). We were seat near the kitchen which I find pretty narrow especially since we're a big group, thus, I recommend people to be seated on the 2nd floor.
The interior is homey and quaint - like a rustic Italian home turned dining place.
Service: Everyone is very attentive and courteous, professional, and knowledgeable on restaurant matters.
Food (and Beverages): The food feels personal. Like it was made for you (that or I was really craving for some Italian feast). They have large serving and all are made upon order so be prepared to wait.
Value: Taking all into consideration, I must say that its worth it.
Ordered their spinach and goat cheese pizza and the usual pepperoni. The best thin crust pizza! Will definitely come back. I hope they open more branches in the north. Lol.
This is the second time I am going to eat here. I came here with my friends and we ordered truffle mac & cheese, vesuvio, poutine, chicken wings, pepperoni pizza, and pizza bianca. Truffle mac & cheese the one I liked the most. This place is always full of customers so we waited a little while. But the food is worth the wait. The price is reasonable for its quality.
And were back. This time with the gang because it's my brother's birthday. And again it does not dissappoint. This time I ordered the garlic and cheese pizza and penne pesto (my first to try a pesto) both tasted good 👌
Will be back again..
Went here for dinner last December so I finally get to taste it, and I have been meaning to do so since I have read a lot of rave reviews on the place.
I must say I was a bit underwhelmed, probably because I set the bar too high from the reviews. In all fairness though, what we ordered (All meat and Mama Lou's Pizza, and Salmon Linguine) were tasty and I loved their service. I loved the complimentary bread and olive oil- balsamic vinegar dip (I liked it better than Italliani's) Had I eaten here before reading those blog reviews, I'd probably have a better rating.
Love their store ambiance! Their store
Is quite similar to mary grace but more suited for families/ friends. Their mamalou’s
Special pizza taste amazing! Their chocolate and blueberry cheesecake is also commendable! I think that their tuna belly is quite bland and need more seasonings but the vinegar sauce taste good (it was quite sweet). My sister really loved their truffle mac and cheese! But i think the puttanesca of conti’s is better than theirs. I want to go back to their store and try their other pizza’s! Also, i recommend that you try their ripe mango shake!
Fave foods at Mama Lou’s! Try that mushroom chicharron lalo na if you’re diet hindi ka mag sisi. Then their pastas ang goods nung pwede ipahalf for 2. Everything’s great! FAVE!🤤💗

We had dinner with our son and daughter in law and the food and service really stand out. Osobuco, mozzarella sticks, chicken parmigiana, mac & cheese,, pizza, and a fabulous refreshing iced tea with basil. Everything tasted superb and the waitresses provided excellent service. Rest assured we will return for more.
Second time in Evia and I can say their food did not disappoint, we just had some problems with the rice not being cooked but all the viands we ordered are all superb. I ordered rollo di pollo for the second time!! ❤ also here are some of the food that we ordered:
-Rollo Di Pollo
-Spaghetti Seafood Olio -must try!!
-Fillet Mignon
-Pan Fried Beef Scaloppine
-Mozarella Burger Steak
-Grilled Porkchops
Mama Lous Evia, resembles a lot of the qualities that their first branch in BF, though is not quite the original. I must say that the Al Oglio Seafood pasta is consistently excellent in all branches Ive dined in including this one in Evia. It blends the metallic flavor of seafood over the garlic infused olive oil sauce of their pasta. You cant get enough of it. The spinach raviolli was a little bland for my taste, perhaps its because spinach was used but Id probably not order that dish again given the chance. The Pizza was good although it was served cold. Off hand though this branch is not perfect it continuously provides quality service.

Nothing bad to say about this place. Ambiance is great. Location is okay especially for those residing in Cavite, no need to go Parañaque anymore! Though parking here on busy weeknights or weekends can be a pain. It gets crowded and the basement parking just don't do justice. Price is quite on the upper range though I would say it's fair enough for the quality of the food you're getting. We ordered three dishes and we were absolutely stuffed. Seafood Alfredo is just the right creamy afternoon pasta you're usually craving for on Sundays. The Chicken Parmigiana's serving is huge and compensates for the price. While the Marbled Rib eye Steak is what can I say, just the right amount to fill you up. It may look small at first but as you go through the classy journey of steak eating, you'll eventually get your fix. Sadly they don't serve wine by the glass here, you need to buy a bottle. But they do serve you free appetizer though (bread with two dips!). Will definitely be back for those Sunday Tita brunches! lol
Just ordered the City Sampler-there was just the 2 of us, so we decided to order later on if we're not satisfied yet. But to amazement I got so full after eating my portion. It's worth the wait & money.
I would not recommend going here during peak hrs. or when it's crowded (based on other reviews) since it seems they are still adjusting with those kinds of situations or perhaps have not realized that it can make the business decline its market somehow.
Been here for mother's day/birthday celebration for lunch and waited for a long time to be seated. Evia Mall was jampacked that time. Service was ok but quite slow since there were many customers that time, we weren't accommodated immediately. Overall, food is great and definitely would want to come back again.
The food was great. The price of the food is just right for restaurant like that. Serving was ok, good for one adult. Waiting time was a little long maybe because it was a weekend and lunch time. Overall it was a nice experience, will definitely comeback.
What started as a family restaurant in BF Homes is now one of the go-to comfort food places in the metro. I particularly love their Truffle Mac & Cheese! The rates are regular priced as well except for a few select items.
