Mamma Mia in Arun

When we walked in with a pram the server looked instantly like we were an inconvenience. Rolled her eyes at us not having a reservation despite it being pretty quiet. Service from her was really just poor. Rude, grumpy, barely looked at us. At one point the chef came out to give us our bill and he was pleasant. The 'kids portion' for our 3 year old was £3 cheaper than the adult portion and to be fair WAY more than it needed to be. (Spaghetti and meatballs was 10.50 for kids potion.) Generally a let down to be honest. Food was ok. My penne aribiatta was definitely best thing we got.

We were early diners, just a few people in when we arrived. Friendly welcome from the staff. Very pleased with our meal choices. Would come again if in the area.

It looks a bit run down here but the food was good. The kids had pizza and the pasta dishes were nice. It was a bit of a wait on food and the drinks weren’t cold / kept in the fridge. But the food we had was tasty and the portion sizes were big.

What a great little place Mamma Mia is! A wonderful independently run restaurant just off the seafront. A great menu and all freshly prepared. Every dish we had was delicious! Best Lasagne I have tasted! Our waitresses were fantastic and looked after us very well. We thoroughly enjoyed our meal and we will definitely be back! A little gem of a place! Well done team Mamma Mia.

Very tasty food, pica out of this world! Very nice tiramisu.Great service .Definitely come back again when around! Thank you

Was met by a rather rude waitress who was argumentative when it came to ordering the food. We were trying to relax not have an argument!!. and she was chewing gum. I found the food quite bland. Probably won't return anytime soon

We were greeted with a scowl by one of the waitresses, advised we had a reservation and advised name, she pointed to a table and walked off. Less than a minute after sitting down she returned to ask if we were ready to order, when we said could we have a couple of minutes she rolled her eyes and walked off, at this stage there were only 2 other tables with diners. The food was lovely and the young new waitress was very attentive. I probably wouldn’t return.

This is our favourite Italian restaurant, so good I try a different dish every time and they are always amazing, never disappoints, will be back again very soon

We went here for a family meal with 2 young children whilst visiting the area. The service was excellent & staff were friendly. We had an amazing authentic Italian meal…..wished we lived more locally to eat here again. I enjoyed the wine too. Thanks for a great meal xx

We love coming here, food is always amazing, service is quick and staff are very helpful and friendly

Had a lovely meal here this evening , the food was excellent and the service also . If you want a great Italian meal , then this is the place. It has a lovely ambiance about it also . Highly recommended

Proper Italian, great service and brilliant food. Plenty of choice on the menu and great desserts. Will be back as soon as possible. Thanks guys :)

This is one of our favourite restaurants, we have been coming to Mama Mia for many years and it is one of the few things in life that hasn't changed. We just love the relaxed and friendly atmosphere, combined with superb Italian food, served by really friendly and helpful staff. Although it is well known to locals, anyone visiting Bognor Regis for their holidays should make a special point of visiting this superb restaurant. they won'y be disappointed.

Just back from a lovely visit to Manmma Mia this evening to celebrate husbands birthday. Lovely food, prompt and courteous service, very reasonably priced and a lovely homely atmosphere. I recommend that everyone give this restaurant a try - rest assured, we will be back very soon.

If your looking for an authentic Italian pizza experience, look no further than this amazing pizza restaurant. Aroma of fresh ingredients and friendly atmosphere. Pizzas are phenomenal.

Mamma Mia is a proper Italian Restaurant, not 'plastic' food like all the chains, decent, properly prepared and cooked food. This particular evening was very busy, just before Easter, but we didn't wait too long, and as usual the food and drink was excelent. The...

A great relaxing time with friends. Fresh food and a friendly atmosphere, excellent service , well done.

Had a lovely evening. The staff are really attentive in a positive way. We both had pizzas and the dough is really fresh which makes it light not stodgy. My husband does not like too much cheese on his pizza and they listened and got...

Here we go again yet, another fabulous dining experience in Mamma Mia, food, wine and service excellent as ever, just take your time and enjoy.

In the words of our 6 year old son, this is an amazing Italian restaurant I would definitely agree just wished we lived closer.....the food and service out of this world Made our sons birthday special

We arrived here tonight (28/1/23) with no booking, and the waitress managed to fit us in (I would recommend booking as ot cam het very busy even out of season). The service was excellent, and the staff made us feel so welcome. The food was...

Visited last night with my partner & family, have to say it was excellent, the service was quick professional and really on the ball, a small team that all knew what they had to do and how to achieve it quickly and efficiently. The food...

As usual, great service, great food and great atmosphere. My favourite restaurant. My daughter loved her meal too... The picture still makes me hungry!

I have been a regular at Mamma mias for about ten years now. The food is delicious and the service is on a friendly but personal level, the staff and chef seem to want to make their customers happy! I definitely recommend that people local...

Came here for the 1st time with a friend. Having heard amazing things we were very excited. Starters were ok, if slightly bland. My friends pasta of chicken and mushroom was delicious, my pasta of prawn and artichoke was bland, and the sauce pretty much...

I’ve ordered takeaway a few times from here and not being funny it’s never the best but last week I ordered some pizza and it wasn’t even cooked properly, not being funny but I’m not impressed. You have lost a customer!

Although it was a very busy Saturday evening, the food was well worth waiting. Delicious!! Attentive staff and relaxing atmosphere. Grazie!

I have been here several times and had no complaints, but on my last visit I made the mistake of ordering the the lasagne. It was an extremely small portion, not even a child’s portion. I should have sent it back when it was put...

We’ve just had a meal here, and would recommend it for its amazing pizza! The restaurant itself is nothing fancy, but the food is amazing… the best pizza I have ever had!

We used this for a takeaway one night on our self catering holiday and it was delicious. Traditional Italian pizzas and toppings, friendly service.

No need to rush here because the meals are cooked fresh whilst you enjoy a drink or two and enjoy the relaxing atmosphere that you get in Mamma Mia. Restaurant is well decorated, very tidy and spotlessly clean with staff that provide an excellent service....

I have eaten at Mamma Mia so many times now and I have never been disappointed. Quite the opposite, every time of dining there brings a new delicious food experience. The pizza is just divine. The base is made and authentically cooked to perfection with...

I went there tonight with my sister and some friends. Fiorentina was on the menu which is the one I will always go for in any restuarant. This was, without doubt, the best fioretina pizza I have ever had in my life. These guys really...

We love it! Warm, cosy and personable. It's great to eat in an independent restaurant where you know the staff are invested in the business as opposed to a big chain. The food is fresh, you can see into the kitchen which is lovely. We...

Wow. We got takeaway pizzas from Mamma Mias. When I collected them, the place had a great atmosphere, kinda making me wish we’d eaten in. The pizzas came out piping hot. They looked delicious and tasted every bit as good. The dough was a perfect...

Come regularly here , pizza is the best i have ever eaten! Staff is very helpful and friendly.Definitely my favourite restaurant in Bognor

We have loved this restaurant since we moved to the area 5 years ago. We visited last weekend with our children and our friends and had a wonderful evening. The food was superb (I'm coeliac and they offer gluten free pasta). We had a table...

came here tonight for a meal ... waited ages and 2 sets of people came in after us and got served straight away we then continued to wait... nothing so we left .. really disappointed

A long (longer than expected, our mistake) walk from our hotel the other side of Bognor, but, once we'd got there, the atmosphere was great. Smallish, but comfortable, not squashed up ; helpful staff, good choices including some vegetarian, but not as much as had...

Always happy to take my family for a great meal. An excellent choice on the menu. Good choice of drinks too. Friendly and authentic

Service was slow - it took 45 minutes after ordering for the food to actually arrive. Service was incompetent because we had to attract the waitress over to take the order in the first place. The food was of lower quality than we expected (my pizza was slightly burnt).Staff were harried and totally stressed out - we could see them all the time - shouting at each other and looking like everything was too much for them.There were only about seven tables with people at them - it wasn't exactly busy. A person was placed a few inches away from my chair behind me - which I didn't realise - so when I stood up I pushed my chair into him - jarring my back, and giving me a big shock, and I think also hurting the other man - although he was too polite to say so. This is unacceptable to position chairs so close to others. The waitress came and sat at our table AFTER they had taken our money as she did not know what a 'receipt' was when I asked for one - and I explained that I wanted to know what had actually been paid by everyone so I could leave a proper tip - to which she said she had no wish to have a tip from us, and then proceeded to make me feel quite intimidated by physically leaning across the table towards me and said that we were a 'very difficult table to serve, because we were slow at ordering'. (Some birthday!....)I highly suggest that if you do brave this restaurant then take an Italian dictionary - as they will get secretly angry if you take their time by asking them to explain Italian words!In my opinion, this restaurant should stick to being a take-away service only.Fake smiles, and no empathy for customers; it is all about the staff. We paid our money and were then ridiculed and told off in an underhand aggressive way. I am really still very upset about my experience here.

Great food. You can see straight into the kitchen. Flavours were great. Fresh. Easy to book. Seems like a warm and friendly outfit. Family friendly with kids choices too.

This was our second visit and I must say the food’s improved! We had pizzas and they were brilliant. Was a bit disappointed as they had no lemonade for my shandy! The service was a bit iffy - it wasn’t particularly busy but seemed a bit chaotic and we overheard the waitress (who’s a bit moody) swear at the chef! Given all that we’re going to go back - perhaps it was the heat!

Visited in June 2021. Small place with view of the kitchen. Food was cooked fresh and all in full view of us. Wonderful home cooked food, very reasonably priced. Wine also not too expensive. Friendly staff who looked after us very well. A great find and well worth a visit.

Welcoming staff and good quality food. Very happy with our meal there. Good range of dishes on menu too.

Booked at the last minute and wasn’t disappointed. The restaurant is unassuming but the food and service is definitely not. Fabulous food and excellent service. Would visit regularly if I lived locally!

Interior lacked charm but food very good. £49 for 2 sharing a starter and 3 beers. Not much more to say.

Best Italian I have ever been to ! With great service! So clean and tidy, I can not wait to come back !

Visited this restaurant a couple of years ago and was unimpressed! Tonight, we have had two takeaway pizzas. They were both absolutely delicious! Hot, very tasty and cooked to perfection! Cannot believe we have waited that long to visit again. Well done Mamma Mia! You will now become our regular takeaway! Thank you.

Visited here with my wife and some family. The food was not much above average. The restaurant seemed a bit dull and quite cold. I had spaghetti bolognaise as my starter and found it very bland. Far too tomatoey for my liking. Calzone was my main which was better than my starter although not the best I’ve had. It seems like a very traditional Italian with no doubt Italian owners but it didn’t live up to the quality of food you get in Italy.

Enjoyed our take away just as much as eating in!! Pizza’s are insanely good I just really need to try and stop having the same njuda sausage one (but it’s soooooo good!) thanks guys for being awesome xxx

Even in these dreadful corona times there is no need to go without a superb Italian meal. We have been using Mama Mia takeaway service since the corona lock downs first started in March, and now with the latest one we are continuing to use it. The food is absolutely fabulous, a freshly cooked Italian meal without leaving your home other than to collect it which we do not mind. We would normally visit a Restaurant once a month, so until these restrictions end the Restaurant visits us. We cannot recommend Mama Mia enough, it has provided a small chink of light during this depressing period and gives us something to look forward to. We normally have a pasta dish and salad with Garlic cooked mushrooms which are fantastic and my particular favourite the Gamberi con Tabasco which is king prawns with spinach and a wonderful Tabasco sauce. We look forward to our next take away and perhaps one day we can actually return to the restaurant, who knows ?

We eat there regularly when we can't be bothered to cook at home. Good range of pasta dishes. Pizza if you want pizza. Waiting staff look after us well. Friendly atmosphere. Recommended.

Very lucky this lovely place is close by. Its my go to for a takeaway treat. Best pizza I’ve eaten anywhere. Lovely friendly owners too. Can’t recommend enough

We ordered over the phone for takeaway pizzas.All the pizzas were great, but we did order garlic bread too & they added a couple of slices to every pizza box, which was a bit annoying as 2 members of our family cannot eat garlic - we had to rescue it quickly!

We had the joy of attending a wedding meal here. The food was terrific, with delicious melon and Parma ham for starters, a great salad for the main - huge portions - and excellent tiramisu for dessert. There was a good selection of wines and it all added Tina happy, memorable occasion. Thanks to all concerned.

A truly memorable experience in this lovely restaurant. Booked a table fairly last minute but we were fitted in. Excellent friendly service, great menu with loads of choice (for kids and adults alike) and the food was brilliant. Relaxed, but buzzing atmosphere. I wouldn’t hesitate to return.

Our first 'indoor experience' during the pandemic and all was fine! The food was absolutely delicious, staff were friendly and efficient and we had a great time. One of the best lasagnes my husband has had for a long time! Felt totally safe throughout the time we were there.

We have had take aways fro here three times now and each time it’s been delicious. Food of a very high standard and everything we’ve had has been delicious. We’ve had various of the pizza and pasta dishes and haven’t been disappointed by anything. Thoroughly recommend & I’m sure we will be eating in, in the future.

Since lock down we can't visit our favourite Restaurant, so have had take always instead. These have all been superb, with freshly cooked food from their normal menu we have never been disappointed and would highly recommend. Food is fabulous and all cooked and served by very friendly people.

In these difficult times with the corona virus, Mama Mia has been a godsend, if we can't go out to a Restaurant then we bring Mama Mia to us via there fabulous take away service. The food is always superb when we normally visit, and a take away is no different absolutely excellent. We have kept to our normal tried and tested favourites but have added a different dish each time to experiment, and have never been disappointed. We make it a special occasion with a nicely laid out table to make up for not going out. We usually have for a main dish the Farfalle Royal and the Fungi All Aglio which is a pasta, chicken & mushroom dish along with superb fried mushrooms plus our added mystery selection. Last night we had Farfalle Alla Bogcaiola again a pasta dish but with mushrooms and sausage and it was fabulous, the biggest problem we are now having is deciding what to order as we like so many different items. If we can't visit the Restaurant then Mama Mia visits us and is most welcome, we would thoroughly recommend the take away service with excellent freshly cooked food, prepared and served by very friendly staff.

Always cooked superb, defo best restaurant in Bognor, welcoming , professional well trained staff. Keep it up :D

Everything is cooked to order, so if you are looking for fast food, go elsewhere! If however you want a glorious Italian taste experience in Bognor this is the place to go, but you will need to book .

Pasta and Pizza orientated menu with good simple dishes freshly cooked and presented. One is transported back to a small local eatery in Italy, with this pleasant little eatery, with good quality food and its unpretentious nature.

First visit to Mamma Mias. Felt cold and no atmosphere on entering. Waitress came over promptly to seat us and give us menus. 2 minutes later asking for drink and food order. Ordered drinks and perused menu, looked nice.Decided on mix of starters which were served within 5 minutes of ordering! Rather quick.^mushroom^ with goats cheese, trio of bread with goats cheese, salad and *garlic* bread. Aubergine bake.Goats cheese was the smallest thinnest pieces I'd ever seen in a restaurant, very strong and disappointing. Trio of bread ok, small cheese again, nothing special, salad fresh.Aubergine dish, aubergines hardly cooked, not much flavour overall. No comparison to other Italians we've been to, wasn't even red hot like it should be.Maybe, as dishes were served so quick, they were already in the fridge or half cooked and not really ready.Dessert, I wanted tiramisu, they didnt have any! They weren't even busy and what Italian restaurant on a Friday night hasn't made enough?Chocolate bomb shop bought, far too much and nothing special. Cheesecake portion was very small, shocked as thought my friend had ordered half portion!Not the best meal, it looked ok but overall nothing special.To end the evening: The staff and restaurant were obviously wanting to close as they opened the door, freezing, washing outside, bringing sign in, shutting kitchen, giving us the bill which we hadn't asked for. It was only 950pm! What a way to get rid of customers.Didn't get chance to say anything as friend was paying and staff cleaning up and closing.Sorry but won't return in a hurry. Shame as reviews seem ok.

The food was great, the service was very good but our table was so close the next one I was in danger of being bashed in to.

Buona sembra di tornare a casa. Spero do trovare le orecchiette con le cime di rapa la prossima volta.

When our food arrived we were transported back to Italy. It was excellent and the service perfect. This is somewhere we would love to be our local.

What a lovely little surprise. Small restaurant but the food was amazing, very fresh and can tell it was home cooked. Great service and great value for money! I shall return.

The menu may only encompass the basics of Italian cuisine but with the ability to mix and match pasta and sauce etc it is easy for everyone to find a favourite. And if course the Pizza's are stunning!

Delicious Italian food in a welcoming and cozy setting. Vey attentive service by all the staff as always.

The pizzas are great and the service and the atmosphere in the restaurant is really great as well. I really enjoy Everything about this place.

Have their own variety of pizzas. Good staff response. Good food.Best place to have family or group friends dinner. Do try various versions of pizza as they are specialized. Its priced reasonably and is a fun joint.

Mumma mia is our favourite! Pasta, pizza and the most amazing wine. The best Italian food served by lovely staff. Relaxed feel in the restaurant and a cosy atmosphere. 5 stars from us

I have been coming to this restaurant for over 5 years since I moved to the area.

We have visited Mamma Mia regularly over the last few years and have never had a disappointing meal.

Visited Mama Mia on many occasions. Small family run restaurant with authentic Italian food made to order. Best lasagne anywhere. Very friendly staff and great value for money. No need to book and they do a takeaway service. .

First time eating here and quite impressed. More Naples than Milan so more pasta and pizza dishes than anything else but good wholesome eating. Obviously very popular with local people and folks were getting turned away. How many places would love to be in that position! Parking seems to be a bit scarce but a bit of a walk is good for the appetite, right?

It was meant to be a ruby wedding anniversary celebration with friends, but ended up being a bitter disappointment following the worst service we have experienced. I made the booking weeks ago and followed it up with a visit to the restaurant two days before. My friend is partially sited so I wanted to ensure we had the table by the window where it was bright.

We went out for our date night the other evening and I could not have been happier with the food and service!

Came here with a friend recently and absolutely loved our visit! We were promptly shown to a table and drinks taken straight away. Service was second to none. The lady and the chef we saw were lovely and couldn’t do more for us. The food —. I had a calzone and asked for fresh chillis to be put in and it was no hassle atall. When it arrived it was piping hot and tasted amazing! You definitely need to try this Italian if you haven’t already!

Thoroughly enjoyed an evening meal for 6 on Wednesday night. So glad we booked as hadn’t expected it to be full and turning people away. Friendly waitress, fabulous food and reasonably priced.

Great pizza and pasta! Best restaurant in the town. I have been there few times and always the food was sooo good and made from fresh ingredients!

Was in Bognor for Goodwood FOS and of course needed evening sustenance. This place was close by with good reviews so gave it a try. It was quite simply superb with the food freshly cooked and with great flavour. So good that we went back on the Saturday night but that was not quite so good because they were so busy.

Consistently good food in this lovely Italian restaurant. Staff are polite and helpful. Would recommend.

Visited Saturday night with my partner and had a fantastic meal. Food was delicious. The owner head chef even prepared and cooked my partner something off the menu. I chose the spaghetti carbonara and that was fabulous. The service by grace the head waitress was exceptional as always. Well done to all at mama Mia for providing such a lovely dining experience

Visited with group of friends. There was not a lot of choice with drinks unfortunately. The staff seemed inexperienced. Mixed drink orders and took them forever to bring drinks to a table. Decor very old-fashioned and rather poor. But we could see them cooking, the smell from kitchen was lush. Food was absolutely lovely however it would be nice if we were all served at the same time. When the bill arrived it was simply written down on a piece of paper which was a bit odd. Not too pricey for the area. Would visit again but they definitely need staff and decor improvements.

We were staying nearby and heard that Mamma Mia's was generally busy so chose it for a 3-generation family dinner. My first impression on entering was somewhat apprehensive as the decor is a bit stark. However, we received a warm and friendly welcome which continued throughout the service we experienced.

Brilliant Italian cooking at its best. Very fresh, hot and served with a smile. Very popular with the locals which is always a good sign.

Had a lovely evening at Mamma Mia, the food was great, and value for money, Max made us feel very welcome, and other members of staff offered a good service.

Very nice customer service and the food was really tasty, pizzas were full of toppings and very crispy base. Would definitely come back and highly recommendable.

Spur of the moment to eat out and lucky enough to get a free table at Mamma Mia.

We visited this restaurant while on a weekend away. If we hadn’t booked, we wouldn’t have been able to get a table. It was full all evening. We could watch the staff cooking and the chef cane out to speak to anyone who had questions about the menu.

Excellent food, great value for money and service very friendly and helpful. A small family place with a great Atmosphere.
