Mama D's Italian Kitchen, Corona Del Mar CA

We celebrated my husband's birthday here this evening, and we weren't one bit disappointed! The food is out of this world! My meal was even better than any that I've had in Italy! Everything is so fresh and has incredible flavor! They also have some terrific gluten free options which we appreciated!
Adam was our server, and he was very attentive and did an outstanding job! This was our first visit, and we definitely plan to return soon!

Great food, friendly & attentive staff. We came for a 14yo birthday dinner and they went above and beyond to acknowledge it a treat her special without embarrassing her.

Everyone I ate with absolutely loved their food and the hospitality was top notch! I would give my highest recommendation to enjoy a meal here!

Enjoyed the attentive service and great food. The pink sauce on the pasta was tasty and the eggplant parmigiano didn't disappoint.

Such great food and wonderful kind and fun service! Was thrilled to be on vacation here and find such an amazing, quaint eatery with amazing, delectable food! Wish we could take them home with us!

Really good food, really good service, and they were really toddler friendly. I got the lasagna which was really good. They had crayons for my son and a nice kids menu. Seemed to be enough street parking and there was a small lot there. Has a good gluten free selection.

The whole experience was perfect. They served bread while we had a short wait to be seated. The staff was very attentive and the food was amazing!

The take out food was delicious. Service was fast and efficient. A complimentary water or soda was offered while I waited. The interior and outdoor seating looked inviting. A very positive experience!

Wonderful dining experience on Friday night. The staff was friendly, the service impeccable, and the food was amazing! Will definitely be back when in the area again!

... A GREAT little home style ltalian restaurant on PCH in Corona Del Mar, 2 blocks from the ocean. Fresh and delicious ltalian dishes, in generous amounts, with fresh bread served immediately upon being seated. The angel hair/capellini pasta was AMAZING, as was the Lasagna, and each with any type of sauce you want. Staff/Service was incredibly friendly and welcoming. We will DEFINITELY be repeat customers!

The food is delicious, the staff friendly and helpful. It's like having service from years ago when the service made the food taste even better. Come everytime we are in the area. Thank you for also being family friendly!

A small and cosy corner with excellent Italian food. Too bad they are only open 3 hours a day. It's busy all the time but you still get excellent service and great tasting food. You will not be disappointed.

Great food and great service. Do we all had a plethora of different dishes. I had the eggplant Parmesan and it was fantastic. I'm going to go out and all them and say it was the best I've ever had, and I've had quite a few. Nobody in our party of seven left disappointed.

YUMMY

Me and my brother shared a large pizza and the meat ravioli and it was delicious, everyone that went with us also loved their meal, I tried my sister's Mac and cheese and it was sooooo good and bursting with flavor! Everything was delicious and I would 100% go again.

Edit: we went again, still so good, got the gnocchi with scallops and pink sauce this time

Family Italian restaurant in the area. Very good pasta. In particular, love their pink sauce and marinara sauces. Too bad no reservation accepted, the wait is a bit long.

Good food (at least the chicken and sausage pasta with pink sauce was good.that's what all 4 of us ordered). Great service. We were the only ones outside and they willingly fired up 2 space heaters for us. Prices were a little pricey (but ok for Newport prices) but splitting plates was no problem. We'll be back to try something else.

Great experience. Chris was our waiter and he was absolutely fantastic - very knowledgeable and passionate about the dishes. There were so many good options to choose from. We were able to customize so many of the options to try as much as possible. The bread was to die for especially with the garlic and olive oil. I couldn't stop filling up on the bread. Then the pasta dishes came and they were also great. The meatballs are made in house and delicious. I would go again to try some of their other dishes. We went on Friday evening and were able to get seated at this location. I haven't been to the original one but apparently it's the same staff across both locations so I'm not too worried about differences in quality.

We’ve been to both other locations in Manhattan Beach & Newport Beach, and this location did not disappoint. The service was great and the food was delicious as we expected. The sausage and chicken capri with fettuccine & pink sauce is my favorite dish.
