Mama D’s

Best Itilian food in West KY. Reasonable prices and huge portions, and the taste is the best part!
Recommend the Mussels and Mamma D’s special pasta dish. What a great place…

My partner and I ordered fried ravioli with marinara sauce, garlic knots, salad with ranch, lasagna, and a calzone. We recommend the garlic knots with cheese appetizer. Sadly, the knots were the highlight of the meal. Be ready to pay for bottled water; this restaurant has chosen to not provide free tap water. The staff is congenial and atmosphere is informal and family friendly.

While it can be a bit loud when busy, this place has the best tasting Italian food that I have ever experienced, and that includes numerous meals throughout Italy. Rustics pizza and chocolate conolis are very special.

The garlic knots were very good with a salad. The Italian wedding soup although it had a good base, was way too salty. The very nice waitress took it away and I had the cheese stuffed ravioli with marinara sauce which is what my husband had. The pasta was perfect and the sauce was great. It was very loud and echoey inside the building. There was no wine available so I had an iced tea.

We had the chicken alfredo and the lasagna, which came with a large loaf of bread and a salad. All were excellent with large portions and priced very reasonably. The creamy parmesean salad dressing was also very tasty. The decorations were quaint, and the bathrooms were clean and neat. If travelling through Calvert again, we would definitely stop there and recommend it to others.

It ain’t the Ritz but boy is the food good. If you ask you can get garlic infused olive oil for your bread (baked there fresh) and the price is right for weary travelers. To top it off the people there are so very nice. All in all a very nice experience.

Visiting from out of the state… Great food and friendly service! We had the chicken parmigiana and a pepperoni pizza. The two didn’t disappoint.

Here for some work for three nights and while this area isn’t filled with great restaurants and food I really enjoyed my Fettucini Alfredo (with chicken). Great white sauce, healthy portion that I didn’t finish, homemade bread was good as well. Definitely will return if/​when I’m in the area again… beats any other place I’ve tried around here hands down.

We’re visiting from out of town, and this was a good local place to go. I was expecting just a local pizza joint (since Unilocal classifies this as «Pizza»), but this was much more of an Italian restaurant! I was surprised and fairly impressed. In fact, I went there thinking I wanted pizza for dinner, but most people in the restaurant were eating pasta, with a few eating what looked like some kind of stuffed pizza.
Nice, friendly, hard-​working service — all the way from being greeted at the door to the open view kitchen to the server at the table to the young lady that ran the register.
We ordered spaghetti and meatballs and stuffed shells with meat sauce. Everything came with a nice salad (just iceberg lettuce, though) and hot-​out-​of-​the-​oven bread (which the server said they made there).
It was all pretty good! I was much happier going there than some chain restaurant.
The only negative was that it was pretty loud in the dining room — all hard surfaces in the open single-​room dining room with a lot of people dining in (which says something about how good it is), with two large parties. It was sometimes hard to hear what my wife was saying right across the table.

My gps took me way off the path! Once I arrived, I realized that had actually eaten here years ago. Here for lunch and found a decent list of lunch specials around the $ 7 range. I asked the waitress for suggestions. I went with her first recommendation, Chicken Oreganata. It was okay. Too bland for me but I doctored it up with some parm and salt. The biggest disappointment was the vegetables in the dish were notably purchased frozen. The lunch special came with a salad (mediocre) and fresh, hot bread (the best surprise of the visit). Service wasn’t the best as the waitress often passed but infrequently checked on me. My biggest complaint is that they only offer bottled water and fail to tell you this when you order water. Cost $ 1 and then as many additional bottles as you like.
Doesn’t make my list of places to return to.

A place that has this good of food deserves a review before you leave. The stuffed mushrooms were great, the grilled pork chops where so good, you don’t want to swallow, even the meatloaf was good. Come hungry because the portions are healthy. What a gem of a place.

This a very nice find just off purchase parkway, and especially if you get a little tired of the Grand Rivers offerings and are looking for a change. The chef here if from NYC and brings some of that authentic American — Italian flare to the menu. The garlic knots for example, are absolutely delicious with lots of cheese and olive oil don’t miss them. The chicken parmesan is quite good and the salads are also excellent. They do of course have pizza and calzones and other offerings but beware there’s no alcohol served here. The good news is you can bring your own wine, glasses and opener and enjoy your own favorite wine so no worries.
The atmosphere is quite casual, it is family friendly, they have plenty of parking but do be careful to look for the sign for mama d’s because it is small and not very well lit.
Overall it’s a very nice menu well done and well seasoned and I would recommend everyone should give it a try.

Randa was very nice. This place received two stars due to her attentiveness. The meatloaf was overly salty as was the gravy. My blood pressure regrets this visit.

Hey, the red sauce Sicilian is not to be missed either. Interesting sweet sauce at the start with a wonderful heat at the finish. Crispy, oily crust that I found fabulous but my Beloved found a tad soggy. I blame the wet veggies she wanted. Yep, I didn’t get what I expected, but I got what I wanted.

Stopped here because of the other good Unilocal reviews. Enjoyed the white spinach pizza and lasagne pizza. Our entire group (kids and adults) cleaned it all up! Even the baby helped by finishing off the crusts.

The white pizza is so delicious!

I went here because I was told it was great food. I ordered what I believe they consider to be shrimp scampi. It was terrible not only could I tell the pasta had been cooked earlier that day and reheated with this terrible white sauce. Shrimp were breaded and soggy. When I told the waitress it wasn’t good I got nothing. My husband and I paid $ 40 for a terrible meal I took 2 bites of. I would give 0 stars if possible NEVER going back!

So, came in to eat tonight (2÷12÷2014) and had the pasta mama d’s and added shrimp. The pasta was on sale for 8.99 as the special but at regular price it was 11.99. I see on the receipt that the pasta was 24.99. I asked at the register if that was correct and the lady checked with a gentleman and he confirmed the price. So your telling me that it cost $ 13 or $ 15 to add the 6 to 9 shrimp depending on which original pasta price you choose? So we are talking $ 2 a shrimp? That is absurd.
Also, the one server yelling at the other across the dining room for trying to steal her table was a nice touch to our peaceful yet overpriced valentine’s dinner.

4 stars for the Delicious food and Great service! Open for 7 years from Bronx and Long Island. Good portions and crisp cola! Seating for 80 in the main dining room. Thanks!

Wow, this place was amazing. I am down visiting family and when we pulled up, I didn’t have high expectations… Being from Chicago and going to a LOT of Italian restaurants up there, I figured this would be mediocre at best… WOW WAS I WRONG!
Everything was delicious! Started with the fried ravioli which were perfectly cooked and then went on to entrees ranging from chicken marsala, fettuccine alfredo, to pizza. I can honestly say, I have never had a better chicken marsala — my mouth is salivating right now thinking about it. The alfredo was perfect — nice balance of flavors and not too heavy/​gloppy like it can be sometimes. And the pizza was very good too. A thin crust that held up to the ingredients and also wasn’t covered in a ton of sauce with fresh sausage as a topping.
So good… my wife and I keep trying to talk everyone into going back there for dinner. :)
