    We were excited to try this for our anniversary because of the popularity, but unfortunately this one was a miss for us on everything from the bread service to salads to main course.

    I had the rigatoni with sausage dish and a house salad. Both were very good. Bread on the table when we arrived with an olive spread was a welcom that startede off the evening with a positive note. I finished with Italian coffee which was also very good. It was a perfect evening.

    Aaron was our dedicated and professional server. The food was timed perfectly. Usually eat at the bar for HH, but we were entertaining a client who only wanted to eat here. It is popular for a reason and this restaurant checks all the boxes.

    We usually do not have anything to criticize at Mamma Gina. We love it. But last night was very frustrating because I ordered chicken and asked for no salt. My meal took over 45 minutes to prepare. Everyone around us was served quickly and we were shocked that we were kept waiting. We eat there frequently, and never had this kind of experience. Now we know so chicken will never be my choice again. It is a terrific restaurant with a great menu and delicious food, and it is not over-priced.
