About Mamma's Italian

Generous platters of slow-simmered pasta ragu and waterfront strolls set the tempo along Redcliffe Parade. Unlike the louder strip venues, the dining room stays conversational and calm—leaving room to hear the table while tearing into garlic bread and hot bowls of tortellini papalina. Families spread out across large tables for milestones, leaning on attentive floor staff who pace courses without rushing. Save room for the pastry chef's counter: crisp pistachio cannoli and rum baba alongside short shots of espresso.

  • In-House Pastry Chef: Pistachio cannoli, rum baba, and Italian cakes are produced on-site by a dedicated pastry chef.
  • Quiet Esplanade Setting: Cosy room dynamics skip blaring music, keeping the focus squarely on conversation.
  • Milestone Gatherings: Generous portions of tortellini papalina, pasta ragu, and steak cater easily to big family dinners.

  • Conversational Atmosphere on the Esplanade

    Unlike lively waterfront bars nearby, the dining room avoids loud music so guests can converse easily.

    The restaurant itself is very cosy and authentic and not noisy loke similar places along the esplanade!

  • Seamless Pre-Show Waterfront Dining

    Efficient kitchen timing guarantees dinner is served swiftly before a theatre performance or a seaside stroll.

    The staff were absolutely amazing and made sure all our meals came out quickly so we could make it to the show on time.

  • Spaghetti Marinara

    the spaghetti marinara was packed with so much fresh seafood and had such a great flavour!

  • Lasagne

    The lasagne and pepperoni pizza were clearly high quality ingredients, fresh and led to my mother ordering another lasagne to take-away to freeze as we don't live close.
