Mamma Assunta Ristorante 20 Columbus Avenue, Tuckahoe, NY 10707

"Warm, cozy and friendly - Food is excellent - Wait staff professional and knowledgeable about the menue, small bar & Big Screen TV - outdoor seating & party room.. Specials daily- feels like you're visiting Italy."

"Bread was good, pasta was al dented not mushy. Two pasta dishes at our table had too much sauce! But not the orrechiete with broccoli rabe & sausage . It was tasty & had a perfect amount of ingredients. Salad was served with entrees. Decor is a little dated, but place was full on a Saturday night. Worth a visit!"

"Came here for dinner one night, and have to say that I was very impressed with the food. It’s very unassuming given its location tucked away in a mini mall. The pasta is amazing and very fresh. Service is very friendly - they brought food in a timely manner. Atmosphere was nice - it’s straddled between being a casual and fancy Italian restaurant. Outdoor seating got a little bit noisy towards the end of the evening. Food - 15/20 Service - 6/10 Atmosphere - 7/10 Total - 28/40"

"I wish I took photos of all the food. But everything came out hot and fresh, absolutely delicious. There's a nice private room in the back for larger groups. It got really hot at some point in there, understandable for the amount of people. There are high chairs for little ones. Unfortunately, no changing tables for them though."

"Mamma Assunta is our "special occasion" Italian Restaurant! Delicious food, daily specials, attentive service and cozy atmosphere all lead to a great experience every time. We brought friends here from Wyoming to demonstrate to them what a real New York Italian restaurant is! They'd never experienced anything like it. This is one of the rare places where I've found Cannelloni on the regular menu and of course, it is delicious. Try the endive and pear salad with its bright lemony dressing, or the linguine with clams, which my companion said were the best he'd had in many, many years. Portions are generous and if I attempt having a primi and a secondi, I roll right out of there. Great for leftovers or sharing the primi. Desserts are wonderful, too, so do keep that in mind when ordering ... Just remember that you need to look a little bit for Mamma Assunta. The plaza is up a few stairs, and the restaurant is at the back of the plaza, so it's not easy to see from the street. Very well worth the little bit of effort, though."
