I remember the warning years ago, never go to a restaurant with "Mom" in its name. But I guess there must be exceptions!

I think "mom" is okay, it's the "mama" that always does me in.

Hi Mike: I understood your post 100% Italian bloodline. Me too. Heck my entire neighborhood was of Italian heritage. What a shock to my system when I discovered other nationalities. Who knew?

I couldn't agree more! Went there once and thought that the interior could benefit from a power washing. I had spaghetti and meatballs. I think Ragu with Armour meatballs tastes better.

You are right on! I was shocked that some people thought that this place actually represented adequate Italian cuisine. We moved here almost four yrs ago, & people at the pool recommended that place. We couldn't even believe it. We are from S. Fl. & had so many good restaurants to choose from for good Itallian cooking. We have recently come to enjoy Chefs of Napoli. Yum very good!
