Restaurant review – Mamma G’s

I haven’t been to Mamma G’s for a while so I was very interested to find that they have maintained the quality I got used to when they first opened up three years ago.
My first impression was how accommodating they were. It was a Friday night and they were very busy but still managed to find us a table. They did this for a number of other patrons throughout the night, well done!
They have a vast menu with an impressive number of pizzas and pastas – some classical and some local favourites. They also have some amazing specials on offer, which really made choosing a meal difficult. The service was great, our waitress was very attentive and friendly.
The chicken livers we ordered were perfect, a rich deep sauce with just the right amount of heat. The gorgonzola snails were also delicious but I would have liked a touch more cheese.
For mains I had beef ravioli with mascarpone cheese. The meal was bitter-sweet because on one hand there was an absolutely fantastic sauce, but I was a little disappointed with the ravioli as the filling was a little dry which threw off the texture of the whole dish. I would still order it again though – just for that sauce.
The calamari fettuccini with garlic and chilli was also fantastic. An outstanding quality of Mamma G’s is their constant attention to the quality of their ingredients. Some might find their food expensive but you get what you pay for. Mamma G’s is child friendly and are currently running an all-you-can-eat pizza special on Wednesday night – Adults R70 kids R35 plus a free drink.
There are plans to introduce a ‘value for money’ menu with small portion pizzas, pastas and light lunches with the same quality at a great price.
My verdict – still one of the nicest restaurants around.
