By far the best Italian restaurant in Brooklyn! We hosted a wedding party here and the experience was fantastic and unforgettable! Leo was exceptional and provided outstanding, professional leadership and made our night perfect! We truly felt special and enjoyed the atmosphere and food. All of the dishes are delicious and the restaurant is the perfect place to host parties. I will always keep this place in my heart and can’t wait to make more memories here!
If there was ever a place that deserves every scrap of hype it gets, it's Mama Rao's. Everything was perfect from our appetizers to our drinks to our entrees to our desserts. We went on a Saturday night and had a group of 10. It was loud, boisterous, and joyful. Everything you expect in an Italian restaurant. The veal chop Milanese is not to be missed. The whipped pistachio dessert was otherworldly. 14/10 would recommend.
All I can say is wow, first time taking my family here. The food is unbelievable priced fairly fresh and portion size is good. So much better then all these run of the mill Italian places in bay ridge. Staff is great, place is really nice and clean, I’ve been missing out for years by not eating here. Everything is home made - they make their own pasta. Last night was easily one of the best meals I’ve ever had. Staff was excellent. Skip the other places and just come here. I can’t wait to come ba
