Amazing how the Italian expression "mamma mia" can be an exclamation of frustration, shock, surprise, delight, or amazement. In the case of the family's experience from the first time we went there last year, Mamma Mia meant joy at discovering how good the food was at this cozy Italian restaurant.
The place gives a homey, Italian vibe and they have pretty plates! The pasta was really good and had a pretty big serving. It's good for big groups/families. Their carbonara gives you that comforting, full feeling. It isn't too expensive and you get a good value for your money.
Pretty good pizza. I had a Porccino. The cheese was awesome! A little oily overall, but very tasty, and great hot spicy sauce. I like it that we can eat on the terrace, just nearby the fountains. Good atmosphere
Really good pasta and pizza!! The food preparation took awhile when we were there for lunch on a weekday. When the food arrived though, we were satisfied! Their servings are good for 2 if you are not a big eater.
What I like about Mamma Mia is that aside from the good tasting food, the serving size is also great!
Go and try their specialty carbonara plus the hawaiian pizza.
Mamma Mia I could say is one of my new favourite Italian restaurant, (I could say because been through different Italian restos they are fine because typically have their recipes are based on European palate which is relatively understandable) Mamma Mia retained it's balance when it comes with their menus. More food, ambience and whole lot experience review to follow.
We ordered Spaghetti with Octopus a la Marinara, and Spaghetti al Pomodoro alla Mamma Mia, and Penne with Zucchini and Ham. We suggest to order the first two because they’re really delicious. The servings are also generous. Their 6 Cheese Pizza is also a must.
The only thing I didn’t like about it was the slooow service.

Staffs were polite and very friendly. Comfort room was clean too. Only ordered 4 variety of food but it was already enough for 6 persons. Will try again next time 🤩🥰. Pizza was oozing and fresh from oven. Cordon bleu is a must try food here ❤️
There was also live band there where you can request any songs 🥰👌🏻. I didn’t know that they have live band.
Love the food here. You know that the ingredients are chosen. Though if not for ZG, this is a bit expensive. Just don’t like that the Carbonara is not part of ZG. Carbonara here is the best for me so far and a must-try.
Their steak truffle sauce is the bomb.com!! It also comes with a ton of sides so it’s good for sharing. Their best-selling pizza is the 6-cheese pizza, which I’ll definitely try when I come back because it isn’t part of the zomato gold deal. Pictured here is the porchetta pizza which is also reaaally good. I’m usually not a fan of crusts but Mamma Mia’s is an exception because their crusts are stuffed with cheese!! Like real cheese, not the fake ones hehe
The 6 cheese pizza & spag carbonara alla mamma Mia was super worth the price! For the fettuccine Alfredo, it was okay but not really good for sharing & I’m not really a fan of green peas 😅 + points for the fries 🍟
This branch also has accommodating staff 👍🏻
I have always wanted to try this place so I was pretty happy that I finally did so. The place is very nice and very cozy. It's ideal for an intimate date. 🥰
I tried the Mamma Mia's version of carbonara that was full of cheese and cream. It's really rich. Haha. I usually like my carbonara the traditional way with no sauce but I'll make an exception for this one. It was really good.
I love the spaghetti with meatballs! The sauce was really good and had that fresh tomato taste. The meatballs were seasoned very well.
The 6-cheese pizza is a must order. I got it in thin crust and it was so delicious. It's probably one of my favorite pizzas already around Manila.
Overall, I had a really good time here. I will definitely come back. 🥰

The roasted chicken was amazing. It was cooked to perfection, with the herby and tasty flavor equally distributed across the meat. Even the breast part was juicy. While I can liken its tender and juiciness with the S&R roasted chicken, the herby flavor of this chicken made it much more fantastic. As expected, the chicken skin wasn’t roasted to crisp, but it’s still great nonetheless.
The potatoes that came with the chicken also had that herby flavor which was perfectly baked to crisp on the edges and juicy in the inside. Also, the gravy was delicious. It had the perfect combination of creaminess and saltiness with a kick of red wine reduction to upscale the flavor.
The Mamma Mia carbonara was amazing. It was covered with lots of baked cheese on top of the pasta with egg yolk cooked perfectly to run on the pasta with the creamy and cheesy sauce that came with it. Pasta was cooked al dente. The dish was perfectly complimented with the salty and sweet crunchy (some bits) pancetta which makes this dish a little more authentic than other carbonara dishes.
I would definitely come back to try their pizzas.
We had our snack here and I was so amazed by how the crew are so welcoming. We ordered a salad and pizza. The salad came in first. It was the most delicious salad I ever tasted. I just wish I can have it every day. But the pizza is also amazing. I was surprised By there she’s feeling of the crust. I thought it was just a normal pizza but it’s one of the best. I’ll come back again as they also accept gold members so it’s a big discount. Thumbs up.
We were a group of 15. Everyone loved the food. Big serving, good taste, excellent service. I would really recommend this restaurant.
Good food and good serving! Will definitely come back!
Food was really good especially their pizza! Service was also great during our visit and they gave me free dessert since it was my birthday. Will definitely come back here!
Food: Their carbonara is one of the best! If you’re a fan of creamy pasta, you should try theirs. Plus, hindi tinipid yung serving. Pizza is also good since brick oven yata yung gamit nila.
Ambiance: the place is cozy. I just hope the songs played in the background are nice din and fit for the cozy and chill vibes of the resto.
The carbonara was majestic! I really love the cheese blanket. By the way, just to hyped it up a bit, it was prepared via brick oven.
Roast chicken is another favorite of mine. I really love how flavorful and juicy it was. Actually, I just ate there the other day for the 2nd time and I'm looking forward for more visits.
The pizza is also good by the way, surely a value for money specially if dining with quite a few friends.

The ambiance was cozy but homey. Service is satisfactory. We were assisted right away as we entered the restaurant.
From the same group handling Parmigiano and Toni & Sergio, I know my experience will be this great.
Our group were able to try some of their dishes and bestsellers including the Spaghetti Carbonara Alla Mamma Mia. It's not too saucy and it's topped with a cheese blanket which made it more flavorful.
Also, another favorite was the Pizza Metro (a huge and long pizza that's divided into 3 flavors: Pesto, 6 Cheese, and Margherita). My favorite was the 6-Cheese Pizza, because it stood out in terms of its taste (in my opinion).
Price range is on the higher side.
Huuuuge portions! Went a few months ago with other people who had Zomato Gold and I think we ended up having one whole pizza each. Flavors of the pizza and pasta were on point.
If you are looking for Italian restaurants around BGC, I am sure that you would find a lot but one of the restaurants that are truly remarkable for me is Mamma Mia by Parmigiano. Normally, I would say pass on complimentary bread served on restaurants but not when it has olive oil with balsamic vinegar like this one.
while looking for this resto at the uptown mall (i got lost initially then found it to be situated at the ground floor in front of the fountain) i saw ok their logo that this is by PARMIGIANO... and i LOVE parmigiano!
they said that mamma mia came about as to cater to a much reasonably priced version of parmigiano w/o compromising taste, quality and experience - that i concur w/.
just like at parmigiano, they serve complimentary bread w/ salsa and balsamic olive oil dips on the side while waiting for your feast. thrown in either a hot dark almond latte or a glass of their sweetly delicious sangria (or both) ‘coz it’s just oh so good, bible!
started the meal right w/ the insalata di mamma mia (sweet vinaigrette covered the greens and shrimps and it’s got chunks of apples for that contrast in texture) and the polpo alla marinara (of w/c i couldnt help compare w/ parmigiano, ‘gos their’s better).
as for the carbs, the carbonara alla mamma mia was divine! the thick yet slightly crumbled white sauce latched on the pasta noodles real good and if that’s not enough a blanket of thick, sinful, exciting yet down right gasping cheese blanket topped this massive serving of pasta. it’s torched to give an extra dimension of taste to every mouthful and the pizza metro has 3 flavors - pesto, 6cheese and margherita, that for them represented the Italian flag.
the mains came knocking and in ginormous portions too! the pork ribs al forno resembled our crispy pata. it’s served w/ chunks of roasted apples on the side and condiments (was a lil tough and the skin or cracklings wasnt that crispy) but the roasted chicken mamma mia was divine! the marinade that was basted on this fowl seeped through that tender meat and if there was rice, it will be a perf pairing.
Their Truffle pizza is a must-try!
It’s my first time to dine here and I’ll definitely come back! Their Porchetta pizza is one of the best that I’ve had. Their Spaghetti Carbonara is also very delicious. Excellent service from the staff! 5 stars!
FOOD
Chicken Cordon Bleu (crisp rolled chicken breast with parma ham, mushroom and mozzarella topped on marinara spaghetti) and Spaghetti All' Amatriciana (pasta cooked in tomato sauce based on guanciale and pecorino cheese). I'm no expert on cheese but everything they put in our food was delicious! Prices were steep but they, indeed, give platefuls of meat and pasta; overwhelming, but impressive!
They offer unlimited coffee refills. Just order a Cafe Americano with any dessert.
SERVICE
Top-notch! There was no need to sign anything for claiming our Zomato Gold; we just had to do our part in the app. My companion was thinking of requesting parmesan for the pasta and our server appeared at the right time. Either he had good timing or was just really observant, a great thing either way. Watching him place parmesan onto our plates was intriguing because it looked like he was sharpening a pencil with his parmesan gizmo.
They basically checked on how are food was and were very attentive. A big thank you also to the supervisor or manager that helped us with our food later on! For a first-time visit, we were very satisfied!

Food was great. Service was a bit slow. We ordered our favorite, Margherita con Prosciutto e Mascarpone, Spaghetti Carbonara that's a tad too creamy for my liking, and their Spaghetti Pomodoro ala Mamma Mia with to die for meatballs.
Everything tastes so good. My niece loves their carbonara and my mom loves their rissoto paella. Their sharing is good for about 4 to 5 persons. The price is just right for the taste. The crews are very nice and polite
The food is delicious however if you are using zomato gold they will not allow take-out so the more friends the merrier. The serving size is no different from the regular order.
We ordered appetizers, pasta and desserts. The food was really filling even if it does not look like it. I thought our appetizer was pure cheese. I thought wrong. Well, I did not read the description. Hopefully, there will be a mozzarella sticks / balls on their menu. I did not really like the tiramisu but thankfully it was not that sweet. Would like to try other dishes next time.
The food was good especially the Carbonara. We also had their pizza, pork loin, and roasted chicken. The Carbonara is your best bet while the pork loin is a close second. You get the value for your money especially if you're on Zomato Gold. Wish they would hire more servers though, since the guy from the kitchen had to come out to serve our table when the restaurant wasn't even that packed.
Their carbonara is tasty and creamy pero hindi nakakaumay :) their pizza with truffle is one of the best as well!
The service is very good; they are accomodating and cheerful. ;) (special thanks to Ms Kara)
Margarita is L.O.V.E ❤️❤️❤️
Served not shaken and without ice but it's just so perfectly cold and yummy ✔️✔️✔️
Will definitely be back 💯💯
I super love the food! The carbonara’s super cheesy, it’s THE comfort food go to❤️❤️❤️ BUT!! the lasagna is still the star of the show for me. The pannacotta is also divine, I wasn’t expecting a lot from it but I was pleasantly surprised by this dessert! Ambiance and hospitality is always great. Try the white sangria as well if you’re up for drinks.
I would go back here over and over for their carbonara - easily the best I’ve ever had. It’s rich in the best way, peppery in the best way, blanketed in a beautiful layer of lightly burned parmesan. I also love the bruschetta that comes free - the fresh tomatoes and balsamic vinegar provide an acidity that counter any possible umay. Delicious, awesome value for money, + top-notch service. Mamma Mia is a gem.
One of the best carbonara in the metro! Their food is always in big serving, a solo order is good for 3pax already. Pizza and salads are good too.
My second visit and will definitely come back.
Quality and yummy Italian food with courteous staff. I specially love their burrata salad, octopus and pizza.

Nice and cozy ambience and staff were very attentive to refill our water, take our orders, and serve with class. Food was very tasty and portion was generous. Pizza and pasta are must-trys! I ordered their salads, too, and I must say that it I can eat it everyday! Thumbs up!
6 cheese pizza in white sauce? Ugh heaven on earth!! They offer 1+1 on food to gold members. However, there’s plenty of room for improvement in terms of customer service.
The price is reasonable given that there’s a big serving for most of the pastas, and the pizzas are super worth it if you get the stuffed crust ☺️ Their best seller bolognese is sooo good! The service is great too! We ate here twice already 😊
Takes time to serve but worth it as it is prepared fresh. Homey and has cute lighting decor. I just wished that the pumpkin soup is thicker.
The place is kind of stuffy. But the dishes are great. Servings suit the prices. Hope to have improvement on the place and creat better ambiance.
Mamma Mia will always be our go-to place for hosting lunches with family and friends. We always recommend it because of the generosity of their servings and the taste of their food selections. Twice, we’ve ordered the same menu, namely: Carbonara, Paella Negra, Roasted Chicken, and Pizza. And twice, we went home stuck in a “food coma.”
Overall, our experience at Mamma Mia has always been greatly satisfactory.
Pizza - Frutti Di Mare 4/5 (tastes so good with honey!)
Pasta - Ravioli Funghi Porcini 3/5 (taste of mushroom is too strong, kinda umay after a few bites. good nonetheless)
Excited to try other lineup of dishes. Will definitely go back. Thank you Zomato Gold 🤤
The servers are fast in accommodating our requests and orders. The food is great too. We will definitely go back and try the pizzas as well.
Before we even got to try the food, we were already wow-ed by the amazing customer care, especially by the manager named Victoria. We ordered their Crema di Tartufo pizza and Carbonara — both were cheesy and good. Wish the pizza crust had a bit more cheese though. Other than that, all good! Kudos to Mamma Mia 😊
The Food was sooo good, specially the chicken cordon bleu with pasta!
The service was top of its class, very friendly and Accomodating!
Thank you Zomato Gold!!
We ordered the porcheta pizza and a regular serving creamy carbonara which is surprisingly good for 3-4! Too bad though that they don’t allow take out for the leftovers. Sad that all leftovers are just disposed when it would have been better that it would be donated to others.
Less 1 star rating because of the said reason but food quality, presentation, and taste definitely deserves a 5-star rating
First time to dine at Mamma Mia and it was such an enjoyable experience. To be honest the 4 star rating is mainly for the staff bec I had a very light meal. The staff were very friendly and helpful and they did their best to make sure your stay was a very pleasant one. Ordered the salmon and tuna carpaccio and serving portions is good for the price. They were generous with the oil and balsamic vinegar which is great else the dish would taste too fishy. The mozzarella balls were also tasty just need to eat them quick else they’ll harden pretty fast and become chewy and less flavourful. They have happy hour for drinks and a live band as well. Good place to take someone on a date.
Visited Mama Mia as suggested by my partner. Ordered quite a few things off of their menu. We got the Carpaccio with tuna and salmon, a Mushroom Risotto, a 6 cheese pizza and two pasta dishes. The serving size is ideal, the price is right for what yoy pais for. The ambiance is elegant but could use a bit more of a cooling system. The staff was very attentive and ready to assist all the time. All in all, I had a great experience and would definitely come back to this place. If you're looking for good Italian food that is not so expensive then I definitely recommend this place! 👍🏻
The place is right in front of the fountain at uptown BGC. The complimentarh bread was soft. They have very good pizza- we enjoyed the porchetta pizza and the mushroom pasta. I’ve tasted better risotto.
Definitely comming back for the pizza!
Big serving 👌 Tastes really good. Gooey cheese goodness! Their pizza, pasta and free bread is more than enough for two. It was a challenge but we finished it anyway! Lol

Had a late lunch with the wife and had a huge appetite to satisfy. We ordered 2 surprisingly filling and equally delicious dishes. The Vongole was as I expected; tasty, delicious and the pasta prepared just right. The Porchetta Pizza matched well. Over-all, satisfied and we will be back.
Had the 6 cheese pizza and 5 cheese lasagna. There's no such thing as too much cheese. We love it. Specially on a Zomato Gold deal. Kudos to Maria, she's the best staff around.
The best place for italian food.. serving is soooooo big! The pasta for sharing is good for 6-8 people.
We always order the carbonara, pizza metro and roasted chicken. And we always go home full and still with something for take-away.
Hubby and I were craving for Italian when we discovered this Mamma Mia. I am a huge fan of cheese and anything creamy! So when I saw Mamma Mia in zomato and saw the reviews we immediately searched for it in uptown mall.
When we got there we thought that they won’t accommodate us since the place is reserved for a private party as per the waiter but immediately the manager went out and asked if its ok for us to sit outside, I agreed since I really wanted to try the food.
We ordered one of their best sellers for Carbonara for Pasta and Porchetta Pizza. I super love the pizza and how cheesy it is, the pasta is creamy however it got dry at some point but it was good.
I recommend mamma mia if you love thin crust pizza and you love cheese (but if you don’t i think you’ll get umay)
We ordered the Porchetta Grouppo with 2 Mamma Mia Salad and refillable iced tea upgrade and added a few more dishes - carbonara, tagliatelle alla frutti di mare pasta, stinco de maiale, and polpo con patate.
I really loved the 6 cheese pizza (one of the flavors of the Pizza Metro), Porchetta, carbonara, and the stinco de maiale.
Service time is a bit long but as there were a lot of customers also when we were there, I think it was OK. Staff were really accommodating too.
Will definitely go back!

NEGRA PAELLA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I WILL COME BACK FOR YOU AGAIN!!!! IT'S REALLY GOOD!!!
We really enjoyed our dinner at Mamma Mia Uptown. Their Polpo Al Marinara was quite flavorful, their Negra Paella was creamy, and the Dolce Della Mamma was totally worth the price for the rich cake and accompanying ice cream - great texture!
