In Bethlehem late on a Sunday afternoon, we were headed back to our car when the smell of cooking garlic drew our attention to Mama Nina's. We checked the 4 page menu and signed the sheet left on the front table at the door by the owner. Because the restaurant has limited seating, you wait on the sidewalk. Usually a... more

We were looking for a local restaurant to have a nice dinner in, and Mama Nina's was recommended by a shop owner (unsolicited recommendation) who said that was where he was ordering his dinner from. When we asked our hotel front desk for a suggestion, this was at the top of their personal list of good restaurants - so off... more

I'm not sure where the last reviewer ate, because this is one of our favorite restaurants in town. We are here regularly (about twice a month since it opened) and we have never been disappointed. The food is always fresh and tasty and the portions are generous - the lobster ravioli and the seafood key west are two of our... more

You will actually ooze garlic out of your skin for a couple of days afterwards. The whole staff is extremely friendly, and fabulous even to my messy, loud kids. The sidewalk... more

Visited from NJ and dined with friends on the 4th of July - one of the only "major" restauants open in Bethlehem. Seated in a booth in the back of the restaurant, we were amazed to see the HUGE portions coming of the kitchen, so we skipped appetizers or salad and three of us ordered the seafood combination w/pasta in... more
