Mamma Maria's

"So glad our hotel concierge recommended this excellent restaurant!! From the start, we could tell it’d be a great experience. The hostess was very sweet and had great recommendations. Our waiter was the same and very attentive to our needs. We had the local IPA (which wasn’t bad and wasn’t super hoppy compared to most), the mussels with white wine sauce (delicious), salad with house Italian (great dressing) and the crab bisque (delectable), lobster ravioli (DELICIOUS), salmon portofino (decent because of the salmon, but probably wouldn’t get again because the sauce was different), and the blueberry cheesecake. We were very pleased with our service and food and would definitely recommend this restaurant. Although I might add maybe for special occasions as it it was a little more pricey compared to average meals."

"Bread and appetizers were very good! The salad was average nothing special just seemed like bagged lettuce. However the Parmesan dressing was delicious! Pasta was authentic and delicious! Love love loved my strawberry shortcake cheesecake. Everything was fresh! Our server helped with pasta choice and dessert choice. Very sweet man. Loved our experience here."

"Mama Maria's unquestionably reigns as Salem's top destination for authentic Italian cuisine. Their Alfredo is a standout, showcasing a perfect blend of creamy indulgence and rich flavors that keep patrons coming back for more. The diverse drink menu caters to every taste, ensuring a delightful pairing with their exquisite dishes. The staff's friendliness enhances the dining experience, creating a welcoming atmosphere that feels like home. The only downside might be the wait, but fear not – make a reservation in advance to secure a seat and indulge in their culinary wonders without delay. Mama Maria's undoubtedly earns its reputation as the go-to spot for the finest Italian fare in Salem."

"With all the types of cost cutting that are happening today. It’s nice to find a place. That’s a good value. Daughter and I went there for a dinner before her college show. Salad bread and a nice portion is unheard of these days! This is the second time we’ve gone and when we visit my daughter again, I hope we can find time to return."
