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.
Finally was able to try @mama_lous famed Lasagna, and it surely did not disappoint. My sib has been raving about this non stop. The sauce was made from fresh tomatoes instead of commercial sauces, the topping wasn't too thick which was another plus as it wasn't "nakakaumay". Our household generally liked it 😇
I would also like to commend the staffs in this branch for top notch customer service. They were very attentive and efficient. We ordered this for delivery/ takeout and they have coordinated well with us. Seamless transaction from taking orders, paying online until delivery. The food was also still warm when it reached us.

The interior and decor is very cozy. The menu has a good variety of selection. Food taste good and servings good for sharing. Customer service is good. Price points are on the high end
My brother and I decided to treat ourselves on payday and stopped by for dinner after work.
We were lucky to arrive just before the dinner rush and were seated at a table near the entrance with good server visibility.
We ordered the City Sampler - my brother being a fan of anything deep fried and appetizers usually goes for this at any restaurant that has such a dish on offer and for our mains I tried the Chicken Piccata and my brother ordered the Chicken Parmigiana - which, oddly enough, had been printed under the seafood section.
The Sampler was a hit and miss. The calamari, tartar sauce and italian sausage were quite good, the sausage in particular impressed us (we come from Germany) but the wings were underwhelming in size and flavor and the fries were just fries, also for the portion provided, quite pricey, and not really worth ordering.
I enjoyed the Chicken Piccata with mashed potato, but again I felt the portion could have been more generous for the price I was paying - I'd have liked more veggies on the side than the scant serving provided.
My brother let me try a little of his Chicken Parmigiana, a dish I've sampled at other Italian restaurants before, and I have to say the tomato sauce was probably the best I've tasted so far.
Overall, it was a satisfying dining experience, the servers were friendly and attentive, despite how busy the restaurant got and the service was prompt.
While on the pricey side, I would most certainly consider stopping by again.

This was the first time we tried this restaurant. Ambiance was nice and the servers were quite efficient. We ordered Caesar's Salad (without the chicken strips), Clam Chowder Soup and a 14-inch Hawaiian Pizza. The salad serving was huge! The clam chowder soup fell below our expectations - it had too much veggies included in it. The pizza, on the other hand, was perfect! The crust was thin and super crunchy and they did not scrimp on the ham and pineapple toppings. By the way, the complimentary bread (appetizer) was also good with 2 kinds of dips.
Goat cheese and spinach pizza!
It's the family's favorite restaurant! The steak is really good and the choices of pasta is good. Its for the whole family. Youngster and young at heart will love to eat here.
Can I just say how much I love their raspberry iced tea? And it was a great thing I have Zomato Gold privileges here. I would definitely come back.
Went here a couple of times. Their pasta dishes (ravioli, carbonara) are good. Risotto al mare is awesome. Kids like the mozzarella sticks. Their pizza is just ok. But overall, the meal experience is great.
The food was delicious. I can’t get over how good the tuyo pasta was. Will definitely go back even without Zomato gold. The pizza was good too and their houseblend iced tea was yumm!
So far, so great. Nothing we didn't like about the restaurant - food, interiors, service, presentation were all great. Good food is good but when the staff are very friendly and accommodating, it makes the visit even better. Mama Lou's Special Pizza was great - the mango under the prosciutto is a pleasant surprise. The spaghetti meatballs could be a tad bit meatier though, it's bordering ordinary tasting but it wasn't bad. Onion soup was good. Can't wait to try everything else next time!
