" Tonight it was my brothers birthday and he picked Manma Mia for dinner, thank goodness. Firstly, I walked in and was attended by who id assume was the owner. Very friendly and accommodating :) After we all had a quick chat, we picked our meals and were looked after as soon as we were ready. I split a pizza with my brother and he picked the BBQ pizza. I was reluctant because everyone knows what a BBQ pizza tastes like so I was down to try something different. However, we ended up picking that pizza and I'm not going to lie, this should be the definition of a barbecue pizza. It was really flavoursome and the size (12inch) actually fed three of us, so the quality/quantity is very good. We also got a chicken dish which had an epic mushroom sauce. The chicken was really tender and complimented very well by the flavours within the sauce. Perfect amount of veges and chicken! Very well executed! Thanks :)"

" Absolutely love the pasta here! The penne pavarotti is my fave. It comes with penne pasta, spicy lean beef meatballs and chili napoletana sauce and it's ACTUALLY decently spiced! It's spicy enough for my taste buds and that's hard to find with pasta. I've also tried the cannelloni with the beef, which was delicious as well. Haven't yet tried a pizza here but I will do next time! There's a little open space up the front where they make pizzas and it's nice to be able to watch the whole process. Service has been pretty consistent here for me. All the wait staff I have been served by have all been friendly! Can't wait to be back! "

" I came across Mamma Mia quite accidentally whilst walking through Mission Bay for dinner. I was incredibly glad we did ! The service was amazing, very friendly and chatty, we were well looked after throughout the night and even given some travel tips from the guy serving us. The atmosphere was cozy and comfortable and felt appropriate for us to sit in with our 18month old and the food was great, had the garlic bread and lasagne, I have had a lot of lasagnes in my time but the one from Mamma Mia was one of the best. Definitely worth visiting."

" Not a great lover of the restaurants along Mission Bay, but necessity forced us to take a closer look along with our grandson. How pleased we were to find this gem. Really good Italian food and a great choice on the menu. We were pleasantly greeted and shown to a table where we ordered sea food chowder and a kids menu pizza with multiple choice topping plus a gelato to finish. One happy boy and the chowder was as good as we’ve had anywhere. No doubt we would be delighted to call back here for an evening meal. "

" The place is easy to found nad it has lots of tables for customers to chose. The staff are very friendly and welcoming when you arrive as they let me chose my own table. The staff got to know you when you come after about 2 or 3 times in a year. The service is excellent and they left me enough time to decide what I wanted. The food was excellent and I loved it. I would go again as I want to try all of their dishes."

" Fabulous authentic Italian restaurant. This has been my mums favourite restaurant since she was my age and I can understand why. I have been a handful of times and absolutely love with the place. Meal prices are high compared to other restaurants in the area but the quality makes it worth every cent. Would recommend this place to anyone who loves a tasteful Italian meal and Italian homely feeling atmosphere."

" This is a restaurant we have visited regularly. The food is delicious and not over-priced. The wait staff are attentive and do not interrupt your meal. A table near the front offers good views out to the street and sea views of Waitemata Harbour."

" Wonderful family restaurant - my nephews always love a visit - and a perfect spot for a casual bite to eat before a movie on date night. Love that they are able to make gluten free garlic bread and have always enjoyed meals here whether pasta or pizza. A dependable family run restaurant, still going strong after all these years."

" We chose to eat here on our first night in Mission Bay on a recommendation and were not disappointed. Great service, very tasty food in generous portions and BYO, which meant we could bring some of our wine purchased on our recent travels to Hawkes Bay."
