Cafe Trattoria Mamma Maria - Buena

Made reservations for four at 6:30 on a Friday night because we heard this place gets really busy. We didn't need them. There were plenty of empty tables so don't be afraid of a wait. Had eggplant parm with pasta which was a very large serving. Layers of thinly sliced eggplant with more than enough mozzarella cheese. Spaghetti with a delicious marinara sauce. Husband had gnocchi and asked for no meat marinara spicy. Gnocchi were light and fluffy. Both were a large serving with enough to take home. We didn't opt for the salad which was $6 extra. The meal came with an appetizer of roasted vegetables sprinkled with balsamic vinegar and garlic rolls which were excellent no charge. Dinners were about $15. Loved the atmosphere which is eclectic Italian especially the statue of David with the napkin placed just

During some recent trips to the area, I have been able to stop by Cafe Trattoria. They have a lot of the classic Italian dishes. The times I have been there I have sampled the pizza and the Fettucine Alfredo, both of which were good. The restaurant rarely has more than 1 or 2 other groups dining in so we have never had an issue getting seated immediately upon entering. One of the nice perks that we have found is that the restaurant is they provide a free glass of wine and post-dinner dessert shot to each patron.

This is a pizza joint. Shabby decorations. A little dirty. $52 for two entrees. Pricey for what it is. Bread was cold inside...... Presents our check and I start to get my debit card and am told no, machine broke....... Tell me that when I walk in.

Ok food and service. Comfortable mom and pop shop. The Italian is ok, not bad just not as good as some nearby. The owners couldn't be nicer, best Limoncello cake I have ever had.
