Reviews for Mama Nina's in Bethlehem, PA
Stopped by here for a business meeting, Food was delicious reminded me of old school grandma's cooking from NYC which I was... pleasantly surprised to find in PA! It's hard to find such exceptional restaurants that match that old style flavor that I miss!Definitely recommend Mama Nina's to everyone especially those missing that old style tastes we loved when we were kids fromGrandma! Service was pleasant and atmosphere was welcoming as well for any occasion be it business or bringing the family toenjoy, Definitely looking forward to returning soon to enjoy some more dishes from them! I apologize for the empty plate pic thegarlic bread was so delicious it was quickly devoured by everyone so quickly before I was able to take a pic of it! ???? lol Read more
My best friend took me to this place for lunch one afternoon. He was raving about this place to me for quite some time. First... off, the food was good. No complaints in that department. I recommend the chicken parmigiana. The issues I had with with thisestablishment was bathroom. It was not well lit & dangerous. I twisted my ankle on the steps while trying to wash my hands inthe mens bathroom. The other issue I had was the 3.5% up charge for using your credit or debit card. That is ridiculous. Theconsumer is already paying the price for food, but your double taxing us on a payment method you voluntarily accept? Shame onyou. I would not go out of my way to come back here again. Read more
Nice BYOB Restaurant. We came during Musikfest so we chose to eat outside so we could enjoy the music along with our meal. The... service was excellent the staff was attentive and friendly. My shrimp Florentine was loaded with spinach, mushrooms and shrimp.The sauce was creamy and smooth. My husband's Veal marsala was delicious but I wish there was a little more veal and a littleless mushrooms. Awesome garlic knots! We will definitely be back. Read more
My husband and I absolutely love this place! The service is wonderful and the food is simply amazing. I have been 11 or 12 times... now and I live in Maine. It?s an 8 hour drive for us, but it?s totally worth it as a treat once in a while. Everything we?veever ordered there has been incredible. Favorite appetizer is the Balsamic Calamari, and we almost always get a seafood dish. Ifyou love Italian themed food, give this place a try. Read more
Came to dine in around 7pm and glad that they are still open. Customer service is great eventho they are already tired by their... looks they still attended to our needs and served the food graciously. We ordered the appetizer crispy calamari and tastes good.The initial food served was bread with garlic was good too. It was very garlicy! For the entrée I ordersd the Mama Nina's AngelHair Gorgonzola and it was sumptuos! Serving was abundant that it was quite hard to finish. My friends ordered chickenparmigiana and same, it was too much to handle but taste so good. Another was the Salmon garden salad. It was great too. We allwent home with a happy tummy. Thanks to the staff for serving us courteously and preparing our delicious dinner. Read more
If you like garlic, you will love Mama Nina?s. This Italian restaurant located in Downtown Bethlehem Pa has some pretty good... Italian food. We ordered the spaghetti with meatballs which had a very rich sweet tasting sauce which is excellent with thesoft meatballs. We also had the lobster raviolis and shrimp scampi which were good too. The service OK and we gave it a fourstar because the food is a bit over saturated with garlic and the table seating is a bit tight inside. There is outside seatingwhich is more spacious. This is a must visit when in Bethlehem. Read more
My coworker and I visited here during a work trip. The staff was really nice. Our waiter John was everything. Very polite, knew... the menu well, and was nice to look at ????. Cozy vibe inside. Feels like a big Italian grandma's dining room. The food isexpensive. Like really expensive. I paid like $16 for an app, $36 for my entree, $3 for my soda and $9 for my dessert plus tip.It was worth it though. Good for a date night, business meeting, etc. Read more
I came here with my family and it was very busy, but our service was still good. It seems like a family run establishment, which... I love to see and support. My chicken parm was pretty good, but my wife?s lemon chicken pasta was severely lacking flavor. Theyalso let you know there is a fee for sharing plates, which I have never heard of before, but I?m sure there is a reason to itfor the servers/owner. Overall great location, decent food and good experience. Read more
