Mama Mia Pepe in Sheffield

Normally nice here, however I had garlic bread today and it was the worst I've ever had.

Some absolutely incredible home cooked food, generous portion sizes, and the tiramisu is to die for. Staff super lovely and attentive, and cosy atmosphere. Will be returning!

Really lovely food and amazing service

Absolutely beautiful. Would highly recommend!

Wonderful meal, we turned up very late and we were served a feast fit for a king. We will definitely return if in the area again.

Party of 8 attended for my daughter’s birthday. We were all looking forward to it after reading the glowing reviews. We were soon deflated. Arrived on time for our 7pm booking and were left standing at the teeny bar area whilst the previous customers finished up and paid their bill. 1st missed red flag. Finally seated around 20 past 7 and we’re all eagerly looking at the food and drinks menu. 20 minutes later still no drinks order taken. Red flag no2. Food orders finally taken and then after what felt like an eternity my partner had to shout to the solo waiter to ask where the heck our food was. We were told “ it’s coming”. My partner was by this time, as were we all, frustrated and incredibly hungry as this was now almost an hour and 45 minutes we had been waiting. My partner was asking for an update and we given a shrug from the waiter and he moved on. Food finally arrived and omg, we were stunned. The chicken in pepper sauce was 4 chicken tenders in a pepper soup. How you are meant to eat that I’ll never understand. The bit of chicken we had was tough and overcooked. The lasagna was again like soup. The seafood pasta was tough and inedible. The side salad looked old and sad. We all left most of it. This again was ignored when the plates were collected. By this time we had had enough and wanted to leave and solo waiter was most disgruntled when none of us wanted desserts or coffee. Finally got the bill and paid over £200 for overpriced overcooked garbage. Don’t get me started on the price of the cans of coke. Want my advice,?…. Steer clear, carry on driving and hit KFC. At least when they get your order wrong it’s quick and hasn’t cost you a small fortune. We ended up at Tesco express buying desserts as we were still starving but didn’t have the energy to wait until probably breakfast time to receive it.

All food good, just no option to pick chips for deliveries.

Meal has been cooked to perfection 👌 😋

Absolutely amazing. I have introduced all my friends and family to this place as the food, service and atmosphere is absolutely brilliant. A wonderfully charismatic owner who serves with a smile. Absolutely Brilliant!!

Excellent food, but I thought a little bit pricey

Great meal and service, nice traditional feel.

Lovely experience. Staff very attentive and brilliant gluten free options. Very knowledgeable. Best tiramisu ever!!

The food was exquisite, the waiter very informative, attentive. We didn't have to wait too long either The toilets were so clean I could have eaten my meal in there. The ultimate end was the Tiramisu......sooooo good and it's their own recipe .....worth a visit ...great value for money.

5 STAR thank you. The food was fantastic as always. Compliments to the chef Superb

Lovely little place. Great food. Good service.

The food is awesome, the environment is welcoming. The place is a little gem

Great staff! Delicious pizza. Thank you!

Family meal after a weekend at the snooker. Service is top notch. Friendly family atmosphere. Small so booking definitely advised for a Fridaynor Saturday evening. I guess there are about 20-25 seats tops. Food is not the best Italian we have ever had but very convenient to where we were all staying and thoroughly enjoyable.

Celebrated my husbands birthday here with our family. The meal was delicious, with all dietary requirements happily catered for. Service was the best.....nothing was too much trouble. We will certainly return....soon!

fantastic food great staff excellent

Excellent value for money and the service is first class.

Great freshly prepared food, tastes amazing

No issue with the food or delivery. Problem was the ordering process. Wanted Lasagne but it said I needed to choose an option from Spaghetti, Penne or Tagliatelle. Thought it was a strange request but I selected Tagliatelle, at a supplement of £1, because it was the closest thing that resembled actual lasagne sheets. (I have got screenshots or my order.). I then received a telephone call from the restaurant telling me that I didn’t need to choose because it was just normal Lasagne which means I was charged a supplement for no reason. I would suggest that someone check and amend the ordering system.

Absolutely fantastic food as always, Thank you

The best food service for sure you would have to go a long way to have a meal of such quality. All food was superb tasty and soooo well cooked. We would recommend for stunning food quality and service. Certainly never had seafood cooked to such a high standard in our area Please give it a try you Will Not be disappointed.

Friday 1/3/24 Had something not on the menu whitebait/tuna@king prawns followed by an of menu pudding fantastic, and I would like to thank them for good evening out CHERS 5 Star all round.

Just simply stunning as usual great service as always. Arjan fantastic chef and G-brilliant as always.

Exquisite flavors harmonized with impeccable service. Each dish crafted with finesse, a testament to the chef's skill and dedication. Dining here is not just a meal; it's a celebration of Italian gastronomy and hospitality.

Hidden gem , great service with good food

Lovely cosy restaurant, cheaply priced for how delicious the food is! Attentive and friendly staff, lovely date night restaurant :)

Had a meal here today and everything from the service to the food was spot on, authentic Italian feel & taste, will definitely be returning & highly recommend

I never usually write a review however, this place was so disappointing that I feel like the reviews need to be balanced. We went for valantines day meal and understandbly there is sometimes an increase in price for a set menu however, we were told we could not order of the main menu and if we did it would be £50 each to choose from there. This had not been said on booking and we heard another couple on a different table also saying they did not realise this would be the case. We added up the food we would have chosen and it came to around £55 meaning that there had been a £15 additional cost added due to it being valantines day. We said we didn't want to do set menu and after speaking to the chef the waiter agreed we could choose our mains for £35 per head. Considering the usual price of the place it seemed slightly expensive but we were willing to give it a go. The food came and the starters were nice but then it all went down hill, the carbonara was all cream and no taste, I couldn't finish it because the flavour was lacking so much and it just felt like a plate of cream and garlic. My partner ordered the chicken pancake and over half of it was mushrooms which he didn't realise would make up the bulk of the pancake. The sauce was lacking in taste and generally the textures were bad. The tiramasu and profiteroles dessert included only 2 profiteroles and one peice of tiramusu to share... The tiramasu bottom was soggy and overall lacked any flavour aside from cream. The profiteroles (all 2 of them) were not great either due to being soggy, all the cream had melted out of them due to extremely hot chocolate sauce. By the time it got to coffees were ready to go due to the rubbish food and average experience. I would not go back and I wouldn't recommend go anyone else I know either. The waiter was friendly and kind but the experience was let down by the poor quality food for the price.

I ordered lasagne and it came watery and no flavour

Lovely little gem. Waiter was brilliant. Lovely food.

Lovely food! Went with my partner late on a Saturday night, the service was great and the food was delicious. Will definitely come back.

fantast food as always, compliments to the chef. High quality food and service. Many thanks

Fabulous little restaurant. Food is always delicious and reasonably priced. The Chef makes the best calzone around. Our favourite Italian by far. Keep up the good work guys and see you soon.

My friends told me about Mamma Mia Pepe saying it was so good and knowing how much I like Italian food said we would eat here at the next possibility. So tonight 14th Dec 23 we did. I have to say it was more than I expected. Food was amazing and delicious I couldn't fault it .service too was faultless, courteous. Informative, knowledgable, friendly and entertaining. Buono. I would highly recommend to anyone

beautiful food taste amazing and delivery man was very polite will order from here again

Me and my family have been coming here for decades (usually for birthday events) and have always had a great meal. However, I felt I had to leave a review after our latest visit for my daughter’s birthday last night. When we arrived and were shown to our “usual” table, I commented that it was a little quiet – with us being the only guests – only to be informed that they are normally closed on Sunday but opened the restaurant especially for us. I thought he was joking but when I looked at the opening times on the menu, it was no joke! Now that is what I call 5-star customer service. Our meals, as usual, were excellent and we had a lovely evening, thanks to the fantastic staff at this restaurant.

underrated restaurant I think. Has had the same vibe for over 30 years we have been going. Very cosy and the lack of windows makes it feel you could be anywhere. Food was amazing. 9 of us booked in at short notice; all ate across the range of the menu. Great wine and service. There's a reason its kept going over tough times, we will go back - worth the money and good deals mid week. Good independent feel with only two families running it over the time I have known it.

Had a nice meal here tonight, food was nice and portion sizes are really good, staff are friendly and welcoming, great value for money

This place is a favourite for my partner and I - we come often and it never disappoints. The food is delicious and high quality and there are some great vegetarian options. My favourites are the Bruschetta and Uova alla Contadina for starters, the Vegetarian Pasta for a main with a side of tomato & cheese garlic bread. My partner loves the Polpette al Pomodoro and the Salmone del Duca with pasta. The place is flawlessly clean and the atmosphere is cosy and comfortable. The service is also excellent - Giovanni is very friendly and helpful. We will definitely come again and again.

I have had this on my list of restaurants to get around to going to for ages ...I finally did and loved it. Really well cooked food with great service. I tend to judge Italian restaurants on there garlic bread, fresh pasta and wines.... they absolutely nailed it... extremely tasty home made meatballs. The rest of my family loved all their dishes too. Objective opinion: very good!

A great little Italian restaurant with friendly service and excellent food. A good menu to choose from, and you can even park very close for free in the evening.

The waiter was really friendly and the food was fantastic we will come again

Amazing food. Service was fantastic, everything cooked fresh. Hospitality is fab, staff are so friendly and helpful, nothing is too much trouble. Fantastic atmosphere. Worth every penny, will definitely go again 😃👍

Great little Italian with lovely food and wine. Don't be fooled by the location - it's a hidden gem

Brilliant Excellent food and service

First visit and called as it was close to where we needed to be. Really glad we did as the staff were extremely friendly and helpful. The food was exceptional and prices were very acceptable. Plenty of food choices and various menu's were available. Normal menu, chef's special menu and set menu. We dined from the set menu and the portions were plenty. Not the largest restaurant but worth a visit for the food.

Lovely cosy Italian restaurant with excellent food and excellent service. The set menu is such great value for money too. I would highly recommend this restaurant. Thanks for a lovely evening

The place was lovely the staff was friendly and the food tasted lovely

It was our first visit to the restraunt and we will be definitely be going back and the service was friendly and excellent and the food was outstanding

Have been going here for many years. Never had a bad meal yet! Have taken both family and friends who have all been amazed at the quality and value of the food as well as the lovely friendly and helpful staff. In some ways I have been reluctant to give a really good review as I want to be able to get a table whenever we want one! but that ils just selfish! Wonderful place.. xx

Always great. Often eat in the restaurant, just as fantastic delivered. Thank you!

The food is amazing, always come here the best service and the staff is so friendly I highly recommend

Family of 6 just had another excellent meal at Mama Mia Pepe. All of us enjoyed it so much. Really good food and service. Looking forward to our next visit.

Amazing food and atmosphere. Staff was friendly and helpful. High recommend. The best Italian Restaurant in Sheffield. See you soon

So authentic! I went to Italy recently, yes the actual country and think that the food here is better.

Excellent reception. Jovial service with a twinkle. Lovely rich tasty and delicious food. Fun *and* quality. I particularly enjoyed the Avocado al Forno and the Filleto Ferraro.

Nice welcome, the waiter was joyous and friendly. Although very quiet he was welcoming and not scared of having to do some work and provide a great experience Giovanni is a star, great professional and helpful as to what one might want to order. I...

I come here quite often and it never disappoints so this year I took my mum & nan for Mother's Day and we had a lovely time. The staff are very friendly and attentive and the food is delicious. We each had something different and...

Never been to this restaurant before, I was invited for a birthday party, we had a great time, small, cute and homely. Am not to bothered about italian food I've always found it bland, not very exciting, but tonight completely changed my mind it was full of flavour, looked great and the waiter was funny and very welcoming, defo can't wait to go again 😀

Represents great value for money at 3 courses for £20 during week. Small intimate venue, that is no frills deco and outside appearance, but doesn't have to be as the food does the talking! I would go again and recommend the carbanora.

This place is phenomenal. Authentic Italian decor feels like you’re sat in a restaurant in Venice. Food is of great quality and always tastes incredible. Staff are helpful and attentive and the prices are very reasonable. We moved out of Sheffield and still travel back to eat here it’s that good!

First time ordering from here. Food was hot and really nice. Will definitely be ordering from here again.

Beautiful pizza, but too much salt and pepper in the soup and tomato sauce with the meatballs for me. Until next time 👍👍

Loved it here... The service, the food, the chef must be the finest there is.. Absolutely suburb ❣️

Never seen lasagne like that before, runny sloppy mess

Surprisingly good food. The outside of the restaurant doesn't look great but inside was quite sweet and the food was delicious. Would recommend

Went for a valentine's meal with my partner, she'd been before so decided to give it a try, its a small place and probably holds about 30-40 people and understandingly it was busy but the service was excellent and we wasn't waiting any longer than I would have expected on a normal night. The main guy was really nice and welcoming along with the other staff. You can see the kitchen as you walk in as it's literally behind the bar and we found the food was excellent and would definitely return. As already indicated they have a license and had a small selection of beers and a large selection of wines and spirits. The decor inside appears a bit dated but I personally thought it added to the charm of the place and felt it gave it a bit of authenticity and I don't think I'd want to change it.

To find a 100% authentic italian restaurant that offers the level of service and quality is nowadays rare. From the moment we walked in until we left we felt welcome and extremely well looked after and very well fed ! The atmosphere was superb very...

Always overlooked this place and I massively regret it, we have missed out on some seriously good food. Beautiful food and really good hospitality. Cannot wait to visit again.

Been eating here for 14 years now, great food and people

The food was watery and flavourless

Fantastic food. G is brilliant. Really good value for money

Last minute booking got a table even thoigh it was busy meal and service spot on

I ordered a ham, mushroom and black olive pizza, 10 inch. It was magnificent. Thin crispy crust. No to many toppings. Real pizza on this side of Sheffield can only be found at mamma Mia pepe. Real Italian food. Highly recommended and definitely be returning.

I love the food here! Always delicious, the best deserts ever!!

Best meatball pasta and calzone we’ve had in a long time. Nicely seasoned, the pasta was perfectly cooked. We’re definitely coming back soon. The profiteroles were mind blowing. The staff is kind and helpful!

Absolute staple local restaurant - they do a great discount menu in the week and the food is always fresh, cooked with love and delicious. I can't recommend this place and the team there enough

We’ve been to this restaurant a number of times and have always been warmly welcomed by the staff. The place is comforting and relaxing. The food is authentic Italian - nothing pretentious- just what it says on the menu. Every time we come the food...

5 stars are given too frequently, this place really deserves it. Phenomenal food and nice authentic feel family run restaurant. Will definitely be back.

The lasagne was a little disappointing. Very little meat, was runny and was pieces of pasta rather than sheets. We have had lasagne from here before and it was delicious so not sure why this was so mediocre. Everything else was very tasty.

This restaurant for us is absolutely fantastic. We have experienced nearly everything off the menu's in which it's always stunning. Giovanni or G is what he doesn't mind being called is fantastic in all he does and keeps us informed of any changes and menu...

The food was incredible. Great atmosphere. Great and friendly staff. Incredible. 10/10 will come back in the future. Good job guys! Keep it up

A very welcoming and friendly traditional Italian restaurant. Great food made from scratch.

Cosy and intimate setting, amazing food and brilliant service. We’ve been going here for years and it’s a favourite for any occasion. If you want amazing authentic Italian food it’s the best place to go. I haven’t had better Italian food in Sheffield.

Excellent food ordered from here a few times now only thing missing is some veg

Absolutely amazing little restaurant. The food was wonderful and I would definitely recommend to anyone. I have had lots of Italian meals - both in the UK and in Italy and this was, by far, the best I have had.

One of the containers opened in transit and a lot of the sauce spilled out. The driver took a photo and said he would notify Just Eat, but just getting in touch to let you know and ask for a partial refund for that meal (it was the lasagna)

Fantastic food, fantastic atmosphere, fantastic staff. 10 stars!

Lovely food with a wide choice for all wallets. Service was excellent given how busy it was even on a Wednesday night. Second visit in a week which shows how pleased we were with the food

Absolutely brilliant. The food was superb, the service excellent, and the prices most reasonable. I'd have given the evening 6 stars!

This feels like such an authentic restaurant. We really enjoyed the meal. The flavour and owner was incredible. We will definitely return. I should take photos!

Excellent food authentic and tasty

Excellent food and drink. Recommendable to all.

Amazing food they totally deserve 5 stars I recommend with all my heart and the service very friendly and familiar focus on clients. Wonderful family place
