Mama T’s Italian Eatery - Elkhorn

We were in town for a race and needed pasta. Random search led us here and it did not disappoint. Very friendly staff and the food was phenomenal! Next time we are in town we will be coming back!

It was our first time dropping in for dinner. It is a quaint little place. Everyone was super nice and attentive. The cannoli was quite literally the best I've ever had. And I've had A LOT of them. Lol.It was just so dang hot in the restaurant the night we were in there. We actually had most of our meals wrapped up to take home and eat.

Today we went for lunch. It was wonderful!We dined in. My hubby had his favorite Spagetti and Italian Sausage and I had Cheese stuffed Ravioli with Marinara Sauce. We had the “Shared” cheesecake for dessert.The service was great.

We heard very good reviews of this spot since new owners took it over quite some time ago it was more of a family diner breakfast spot before changing to Italian. My wife and I have now eaten here twice for dinner and I had a Chicken Cesar Salad for lunch by myself once. The entrees have all been very good as have the service and prices. I did have one disappointing issue when we were having a late dinner one Saturday. I knew they closed at 9 but I did TT want to impose or be rushed so I pulled up front and tan in and asked if they were still seating and said I didn’t want to hold any of the staff it was 8:35. One of the owners said we were fine and to come on in. We ordered and both had a cocktail. Our meals were delivered at about 9:05 and I asked my waiter for a second Coors Light. Five minutes later the female owner came over and told me she couldn’t serve me another beer since it was after their official closing hour and she could lose her license. Sorry to be long winded but I just wanted a beer to enjoy with my meal I’d just been served. I might add that I’m not exactly a young punk I’m 67 year old retired fellow that lives in town. Whatever. I’ll be back eventually but as solid a place it is there’s 50 other places I like in the area as well. She made a mistake in handling the situation and it’s probably cost her a few return visits but we’ll eventually be back.

Arrived on location to dine in. Restaurant was packed and we were seated in a respectful amount of time. Took an unusual long amount of time to get our menu’s and place our order. Ordered a pasta and seafood dish. Took over 45 minutes to receive our food with no communication with the server until two minutes prior to getting our food. Taste of food was good, nothing to complain about but nothing spectacular for the price.
