Review of Mama's Italian Restaurant

You know you are in the right place when you walk in, and the first question is, “Is anyone in your party Gluten-Free?” You say, yes, and are handed a complete menu of GF options. Once seated, you are presented with GF bread. This first time, I tried the GF chicken parmigiana, which tastes even better than any other chicken parm, maybe because I haven’t had it in six months. The GF penne a la vodka was delicious as well. A side of veggies was large enough for four people. All of the portions are generous, both GF and non-GF. My husband thoroughly enjoyed his non-GF meal as well, and we both have lunch in the fridge for tomorrow. Everything GF is made separately and marked accordingly. What really made our night, however, was when John the owner came over, sat down to chat, and told us how he began serving GF meals over fifteen years ago. He reassured this GF newbie that it would get easier, and that I was safe eating at his restaurant. In the six months since I was diagnosed, I have not felt so safe and cared for anywhere. This may be our first meal here, but it’s certainly not our last. Thank you, John and staff, for all that you do. 🏆
