Mamma Mia Italian Restaurant - Bakersfield (CA)

4 /5 M J: This was my first visit to Mamma Mia, Ever... and this review is just my opinion... not sure how long theyve een there but ive heard somewhere around 2018. Somebody please let me know if im wrong Anyhow other than a few minor misses, the experience absolutely lived up to the name Mamm: Mia as these were my first words when the Tomahawk Steak showed up,and the expectations I had walking in were brought to life. THE GRUB: The tomahawk steak was true to size and flavor - huge in size, incredibly tender, and cooked perfectly from edge to center, with a beautiful crust and tons of flavor in every bite. The fettuccine with Bolognese served alongside it was very tasty and well-seasoned, though the portion felt a little small compared with the impressive size and the price of the tomahawk, not a complaint just an bservation, i knew I was ordering a tomahawk and I expected the price, thats not the point The ribeye was also a highlight: well-sized, tender, and cooked exactly as ordered, making it nother great choice for steak lovers. The fettuccine with butter sauce on the side was on the average side, but st ill tasty and comforting with a simple, buttery flavor Service was wonderful; the waitress was very sweet, attentive, but she let us enjoy our meal oming in at just the right time and made sure we had everything we needed throughout the visit The bread, unfortunately, was the low point of the meal; it was fairly plain, basic Wonderbread texture and the chopped olive topping that came with it (and i love olives ) was a slight disappointment, as an olive oil and balsamic vinegar dip would have been preferred but thats my opinion. The butter was served cold, which made it harder to enjoy with the bread and didnt match the otherwise excellent execution of the steaks and pastas. As my Granny(G-Unit) would say "Yall gotta do better honey The beer was nice and cold, and between that, the perfectly cooked steaks, and the overall atmosphere of the restaurant, this first visit to Mamma Mia did not disappoint and is easy to rate as a solid 4.5-star experience but unfortunately there are no 4.5 star ratings on here, so you get a star 4 rating Mamma mia.Thank you for everything. Ultimately that average bread got you a 4.

5 /5 Cowman: Great service in store and some of the best Italian food I’ve ever had. They check on you frequently enough where you don’t feel forgotten but not too often where it gets annoying. Pretty much perfectly balanced. Meat tasted high quality and cooked to maximum deliciousness. Not cheap, but worth the money.

4 /5 Eidmone Tagaca: 4.2/5 overall. We got the chicken pasta, calamari, and sausage. The calamari was star of the show. Sausage was okay and the pasta was above average.

5 /5 Tony: Mamma Mia made our office lunch feel like a true Italian getaway. From the moment we sat down, the staff treated us with warmth that felt more like family than service. The food was on point — pasta perfectly cooked, drinks refreshing, and dessert the kind of sweet ending you hope for. What stood out most was the service. The team wasn’t just efficient, they were naturally attentive in a way that made us feel at ease. No forced routine, no overbearing approach — just genuine hospitality. We ended up staying longer than planned simply because the atmosphere was that comfortable. Mamma Mia is one of those places you look forward to returning to, not just for the food, but for how welcome they make you feel. Highly recommend.
