Been coming for many years and now they have renovated and it has a new feel. Food needs more care with presentation but improving. Quick service, very nice restaurant.
Arrived an hour and a half before closing time and felt like they couldn't kick us out fast enough. Lasagne was too sweet. Average prices. Nice Italian feel to the restaurant.
This place gives new meaning to the term "family restaurant". Dining there on a Sunday night, we found ourselves in the company of a few large family groups with raucous kids in tow. (I always wonder why anyone would want to schlep little tots along to a restaurant. Not only does it spoil the dining experience for the parents, but it just about ruins it for all the other guests in the place as well. As for the tots - they'd much rather be at home in bed.)
Anyway, if you can get past that - hopefully you'll dine on a night when there aren't too many kids around - this is a well established and professionally run restaurant. I'd say that it's been in this same spot for a long time, as I recall dining here many years ago.
The service is friendly and efficient. Orders are taken quickly, there's no long wait for the food and any other requests are handled promptly and politely. The fare, whilst standard Italian, is tasty, fresh and nicely presented. Portions all come in decent sizes. We started off with herb bread (four slices to a serve) and a large garden salad. For mains I had the cannelloni with spinach and ricotta and my partner had the spaghetti marinara. No complaints. We finished off with coffees, and all that, came to the princely sum of $50.
The interior décor is fairly bland Italian-style, circa 1980 or so, with red and white checked tablecloths, reddish walls, a few faded pics of Mother Italy and some rather nondescript sports memorabilia. But it's a nice homely atmosphere and the carpets (tho' probably in need of replacement) keep the noise to bearable levels.
Mamma Teresa is located on busy Anzac Parade next to the Regency Hotel. Forget about parking on Anzac Pde - we found easy parking in Middle Street, only a five-minute walk away.
Mamma Teresa is one of my favourite Italian restaurant. It's around my area too so it comes handy when I feel like having some Italian food. I like their spaghetti carbonara and tortellini basciola the most. Pizza was alright. Service and ambience was Ok and overall it's recommended!
Mamma's was a good place to have a quick bite before heading to a concert at UNSW. I've been there before. Considering the size and amount of people in the place, it wasn't as noisy as you would expect. I had garlic bread and pizza. The garlic bread was ok, pizza was alright. I won't lie and say it was "Great!". However, if you want a decent meal, good service and to be able to hear the people you are having dinner with, Mamma's is the place to go.
This is my favourite Italian restaurant. It's so friendly, cosy and unpretentious. The food is great, fresh and cheap. It's what Italian restaurants should be like, without the try-hard yuppies of Leichardt.
We go to this place all the time and I never get a bad meal. I think that the staff are so friendly and you get value for food. The steak is one of the best around Sydney and I am Asian.
Went here for dinner with my Hockey Team for pre-grand final bonding! The meal sizes and prices are decent. Fun for a cheap, casual dinner but I would only go again in a big group.
