I work downtown so I've eaten at Mother's often and wanted to try Mama Mia's. Unfortunately they don't open until 5PM and I leave downtown at 4:30. We finally were able to have dinner at the restaurant in late August 2006. I ordered Grandma Mary's Sunday Gravy entree and my husband had their Veal Piccata. I grew up in Chicago in an Italian and Polish neighborhood. Grandma Mary's gravy was excellent and just like I remember having at my friends homes back home. My husband loved the Veal Piccata and both dishes were substantial. My only complaint is that the prices were quite high. We'd be regulars if it were a bit more affordable. Sorry for those with unsatisfactory service but I do recommend that you try them. I was thrilled with the homegrown feel and taste. Enjoy.
