Great food and good service! I love their pizza so much that it is preventing me from trying other things. Their salad is very fresh and tasty too.

Visited Mama Santa's finally. There was a line waiting to be seated but it moved fairly quick. The place is not large and they were busy but you didn't feel like you're on top of anyone. It had a real authentic old school feel. We started off with basic mozzarella sticks and they hit the spot. Very fresh. I had the chicken parmigiana with spaghetti. Best sauce ever. Period. Loved it. The chicken was good but the sauce made it the best spaghetti I've ever tasted. My wife's pizza came out a little later. They let you know on the menu that they have 2 kitchens so that may happen but it was worth it. Great pizza. Portnoy have it a 7.6. I'd go higher. My wife and I shared both plates and it was a great evening

My first visit here. Fabulous!! The service could not be better. My server was a young man (I'm old so anyone is young to me) tall thin guy. He was so nice and did such a good job. I had fettuccine Alfredo with mushrooms. It was so yummy and large portion size! The bread came first and it was baked fresh and I could have eaten the whole thing for my meal! Then I ordered a side of meatballs and sauce. Yum!!

Food is delicious. I recommend the Cavatelli and add the meatballs, you won't be disappointed. Service was good and friendly. Ambience definitely had what I imagine to be an old school Italian dining feel. Seating was really cramped for us as we were at a table against the wall but decent amount of room in the dining room overall. Absolutely recommend and is a must in Cleveland and the Little Italy area since 1961.
