my friends and myself we had the best experience in mamma mia. we loved the food and service. i think the world would a better place without people like jim the dinner. keep the excellent work MAMMA MIA.   (ad - January, 2009)

For what should be a relaxed and enjoyable evening at a restaurant this place turned it into a stressful an unpleasant evening for myself and my friends.

It started of ok, we arrived and said we had a booking and were seated quite quickly and then some other friends joined us. But then it started to go downhill as soon as we ordered the drinks. The guy who was serving our table wasnt at all friendly from the start. We said we would like some NZ white wine and he told us we couldn't and we could only have Italian wine so we chose an italian and he went off and cam back with an Italian wine (which we later found out wasn't what we ordered but an overpriced mediocre "Italian Wine" made in Clevedon) and one friend got a lemonade which she didnt order. We then proceeded to order our mains which came fairly promptly apart from the pizza which arrived 20mins after everything else. So once that eventually arrived we chatted and ate and was there for a while, we then decided it was time to go. We went to pay and our non-friendly waiter was on the till, we got the bill and noticed the wine was a lot more than we remembered so we proceeded to tell him this and that the pizza was late. This is the point where he became rude and obnoxious. Telling us the pizza arrived the same time as everything else. We drank the wine so we have to pay for it and we ate the pizza so we have to pay for it. He had the attitude "People have been coming here for years I can do what I like". So 5 mins of arguing later he took $7 off the bill. This place has some of the worst customer service I have ever seen.

If you want nice food and good service I suggest going to Santa Lucia or Tony's.   (Jim-the-Diner - December, 2008)
