- BBekiPortland / Oregon •4 reviews4.0Dined on Dec 24, 2024We've been before. Our server was rude and bland. Had to ask several times for a refill on water and sodas. It was our first time bringing our adult children here. Food was well prepared, and they enjoyed it. But we left with a mid feeling due to service.More infoMama Mia TrattoriaPrice: Moderate• Contemporary Italian• Downtown•4.2
