Meh - Edit
I don't get the hype. I find it very overpriced.

Excellent restaurant! - Edit
I’ve been vegan for 45 years but won’t eat vegan junk food/fast food because I don’t want highly processed food cooked with GMO oils. That rules out most restaurants including the vegan ones, including high end ones.
Read moreI stumbled across Mama’s after leaving work away from home and saw their signage.
Everyone was super friendly and when I started asking ingredient questions that often no one can answer, they handed me a paper that had the full list of ingredients of their locally made vegan meats, and their cheeses. I was so happy!
They had 100% whole wheat pizza crust and used high quality olive oil. I had a personal pizza loaded with veggies and melted cheese that was delicious and almost 2 meals worth.
They had so many vegan options including deserts! Plus they have a bunch of separate menus like non-dairy, vegan, gluten free. Although its almost 100 miles away, I have to get back there soon to try the veal parmigiana, my absolute favorite as a kid. Unfortunately they sell the real non-vegan version so can’t get 5 stars 😞
Pros: Amazing pizza, Friendly folks, Tons of clean healthy options
Cons: They serve real meat

Great for vegan and gluten free - Edit
They had a dedicated vegan menu as well as a vegan/gluten free menu which was super helpful. We loved the mozzarella sticks and pizzas. Would definitely recommend to anyone bc of the wide variety of menu items and they seemed really knowledgeable about allergies and diets. They even had a vegan sign on our table. Highly recommend

They put a sign on our table to alert the waitstaff to our dietary preferences, so we felt especially comfortable ordering off of the extensive vegan menu. Our food was delicious. If we lived here, we would be regulars!

Middle of the road - Edit
We ordered take away so this review is purely based around the food; will not be reviewing environment or service.
Read moreI ordered the chicken parm and vodka rigatoni duet, as well as, the Marcelo calzone. My mother bought me a cannoli to try.
The duet was very ordinary, but satisfying. The calzone had a bit more flavor but we really wished they used the vegan ricotta cheese instead of the mozzarella style.
I was grateful for the treat but so disappointed in the underbaked, eleven dollar single cannoli. Very curious if this is anyone else’s experience.
I plan on returning for a taste of the lasagna! And hopefully a more rewarding dessert.

I believe they get cannoli along with other desserts from Vegan Treats in PA

Penne vodka and chicken parm - Edit
I love how the restaurant has so many vegan options!! especially when there’s not a lot in the area. The food was good but the pasta sauce was kind of thin. Thankful for the vegan options but it’s not jaw dropping.

The best vegan Italian restaurant - Edit
I have been coming to Mama's for over 10 years now and it still remains one of my favorites. I love the variety of appetizers, pastas, pizzas, calzones, and entrees. Vegan wines are even labeled on the cocktail menu. They also make vegan desserts and carry some desserts from Vegan Treats in PA.
Read moreWith the good also comes the bad. Mama's is pricey; be prepared to spend $100 for two people without appetizers, alcohol or dessert. The service can be a little slow on Friday, Saturday nights or other times when they are busy. We try to go when there is no live entertainment on the cafe side because we prefer hearing Dean Martin and Frank Sinatra over what sounds like open mic night.
With all that being said, it still stands as one of my absolute favorite places and I will definitely keep it towards the top of my restaurant rotation
Pros: Delicious food , Excellent variety , Has dessert and wine
Cons: It's pricey , Service can be slow at peak times, The live entertainment 🙉

Dedicated Vegan Menu available - Edit
Nice place. I’ve been here a few times. Indoor and outdoor dining available. I love the fact that they have a multi-page fully dedicated 100% vegan menu. Many options to choose from. I had their 10” chick’n parm sandwich. Good serving size. Good flavor. They give you a little cup of extra marinara sauce to pour over your sandwich if you choose. I’ve enjoyed my meals here. One negative is that they are on the pricier side.

AMAZING Italian food - Edit
The best Italian food I have had outside of a vegan Italian restaurant in Rome. I had the eggplant Francese and it was unbelievable. Separate vegan menu, live music, friendly owners. A must go to every time I’m in the area!

Separate vegan menu - Edit
This has been my family's go to place whenever we got together since it has something for everyone, vegans and non-vegans. They have an extensive vegan menu. According to the owner, they have a separate cooking area for their vegan items. The food is good, a little pricey though. Friendly staff and the owner is always around to make sure you are enjoying your meal. They normally bring out a samples while you are waiting for your food along with vegan rolls.

Tons of delicious vegan options in a clearly labeled, separate menu. Atmosphere is old-school Italian restaurant which is difficult to find if you eat plant-based.

Lots of vegan options - Edit
Mama’s has an extensive vegan menu and they are very accommodating! You can order just about anything. Unfortunately, they raise their prices frequently and orders do get messed up. I ordered vegan lasagna and I bit into it and it was chicken. It made me sick and this happened a few times with my order not being vegan. Lately the vegan cannolis are not filled and they seem to be skimping on quality. It’s worth a try because the options are great otherwise.

Huge menu - Edit
Mama's is a great spot for eating with veg and non-veg guests. I find it is a little hit or miss. Some pastas have been AMAZING, some have been just okay, and I once got a pizza that was truly incredible. Very weird. But the atmosphere is fun and they have an enormous menu. Really glad they are making such an effort to be vegan friendly :)

Delicious and worth the price - Edit
The menu had all the favorite traditional Italian dishes fully veganized. Everything was delicious and the portions were family style, so definitely generous. It felt great having as many choices as there were. I found out that this restaurant caters to many eating lifestyles including gluten free and keto. One woman was even able to get her meal with reduced sodium. I will definitely go back!

500 stars - Edit
Because it’s not fully vegan the app only lets me give it 4 stars. But it should get 500. There are so many options for vegans and vegetarians. Each have their own complete menu. The staff is extremely knowledgeable and courteous. Vegans get a special marker for the table so that the wrong food isn’t brought out. They use separate fryers for anything vegan. Not to mention the food is amazing. The vegan mozzarella sticks are one of my favorite. If I tried to add pictures it would be an entire album.

Coming here - you feel like every dish they have they also have in a vegan version. It really feels like they go out of their way to accommodate vegans. A great amount of options. When you also come in, they ask if you need a vegan menu and put a sign on your table that says you’re vegan so your servers always know!

Good Vegan Italian Food - Edit
I ordered a vegan pizza with vegan vodka sauce as well as a gluten free vegan pizza. Their menu offers so many vegan Italian foods that are really hard to come by! Vegan mozzarella sticks, vegan meatball parm sandwiches, lasagna, Alfredo etc. My only complaint is that I believe they use Daiya Vegan Cheese which came out a bit rubbery on the pizza.

Very inclusive restaurant. They really cater to vegans. - Edit
As soon as we entered, the hostess asked if we needed a vegan menu and I immediately felt a sense of relief that this restaurant cared about vegans. My husband said that this place had the best vegan food that’s he’s had so far and he’s such a picky eater that means a lot. Thank you for making our 17th anniversary so special.

Great Vegan Italian Food - Edit
This restaurant deserves five stars for vegan food. It was an amazing experience to have vegan meatballs and sausage and pasta. They do vegan right. They deserve five stars and their customer service is outstanding. It was at least a 30 minute drive but it was totally worth it and you must give it a try.

Got to go from here, vegan menu available online. Lots of options! Delicious! - Edit
I got the Vegan Polpette as an app, vegan meatballs on a red sauce with some creamy cheese sprinkled with herbs and I really enjoyed it! I think it comes with bread which was fresh and a larga piece too. Combo dinner of A thinly sliced breaded and baked eggplant dish topped with roasted veggies. Penne pasta with a creamy vodka champagne vin. sauce. Great dishes. Got the fried zeppoles for dessert and came with I think chocolate syrup for dipping. All good portions. Very hospitable lady on the phone and behind the counter, Sherry was her name. Thinking of going back another round while I’m not local. Highly recommend.
Read moreUpdate: Couple of days after ordering take out I went and dine in twice that week. Loved the dining experience, quality of staff; the hostess greeted us very welcoming and after seating us she went over the specials and she was very knowledgeable. Server was excellent, highly attentive. Sherry was great once again, food was consistently delicious with variety of options. Must Go!
Pros: Outstanding service , Delicious food
