Mama Ricottas is fantastic and the best Italian restaurant in Charlotte, hands down. No one makes better spagetti and meatballs than Mama Ricottas! I LOVE the penne ala vodka as well. Actually I have yet to try ANYTHING on the menu that I didn't love.

When you walk in the door the swanky appearance might make you think it's expensive, but the menu will surprise you when you see it's budget-friendly pricing.

As a meeting planner I've also used Mama Ricottas as a caterer and they do an amazing buffet as well, always right on time and in my budget.

Mama's is the best italian place in Charlotte! They always have the best food, great service, and phenomenal prices! With their homemade mentality, they always have the most delicious food. They make all of their sausages, mozzerellas, dressing, desserts, sauces, etc in house and it really shows in their classic Italian dishes. Their tiramisu and nutella pie are out of this world. I never branch out on the dessert menu because I crave these two in my sleep. My favorite entree is the penne al a vodka or the pollo romano. My favorite place in Charlotte - i could eat here everyday!
