“ First time here, I hate giving five stars for everything, but happily I have to give it to this place it is the best Bolognese I’ve had in a Resturant for a few years so it deserves it and it lives up to its reputation of 4.8 star rating. Well done Mamma Mia, I’ll be back to try the rest of your food ”
“ My very first Italian meal !! It was absolutely delicious...Thank you ! ”
“ This place is more then an independent restaurant or coffee shop, it’s a piece of Napoli landed in the middle of George Street. Experience the real Neapolitan authenticity, from coffee until dessert, passing from pizza and pasta. The staff are excellent and super accommodating, Gennaro and Tonia, second to none. I would recommend this place big time even for a quick takeaway coffee. ”
“ We have been several times to this wonderful restaurant and each time it gets better. The arancini is better than I’ve eaten in Rome, the pizzas and pasta dishes are faultless. You can tell the quality of the ingredients and the passion that has gone in to every dish in every mouthful. Plus the service is warm and welcoming, exactly what you would expect from top Italian hospitality! ”
“ Took my mum here and it was delicious. So filling for the price we paid and staff were so friendly. Will definitely be bringing the family back here at some point. 5 stars through and through. ”
“ Found this quintessential Italian restaurant in George street whilst looking for a non chain coffee break. We received a warm greeting and chose a table outside for our coffee. We saw that they catered for gluten free dietary requirements and asked to see the menu. The server introduced himself as Giuseppe( I’m assuming the owner) and was only too happy to discuss the menu and how it is produced. This made our decision to return later for lunch, reserving a table. The food, atmosphere and staff are superb, friendly and good knowledge of the menu including the GF options. Another welcoming ‘must eat at ‘ venue if you have a GF diet or fancy authentic Italian cuisine with excellent quality food and reasonably priced. Will certainly visit again ”
“ Best Pasta in Brighton hands down!! Mama mi truly is one of Brightons best hidden gems. Giuseppe (the main man) is incredibly kind and charismatic and clearly loves what he does! The whole vibe of the restaurant is great too, really feels like you're back in Italy. The bruschetta was the tastiest I ever had in my life (I've had a lot) and the food overall was incredible! Shame about the opening hours but I heard they will do evening service once a week in winter. ”
“ A fab authentic Italian. My family love it here. The pizzas were great and the wine and beer is lovely. Fun friendly atmosphere. Will definitely come back. ”
