Mamma Mia in Stirling

Sugo Mama Mia house special was AMAZING! Service was perfect. Will definitely be back!

Food and service were tremendous. The place was full midday on a Sunday, which is proof enough in itself that it's great. Only downside was there was one loud table that made their conversation, everyone else's conversation. Which is unfair to mark down on Mamma Mia, but it did dampen the vibe

We were planning to celebrate our friend's birthday and tried to get a table for 8 in a few places in Stirling and ended up in Mamma Mia. It was a lovely Italian restaurant with really good food! Ordered the vegetarian pizzas and pastas and had the best tiramisu I have ever had. The waiters were really lovely too. Mr. Saverio found out that we were celebrating the birthday and gave the tiramisu for free!!!! Definitely look forward to going there again and trying other foods!

Just had the most amazing dinner at Mamma Mia. The authentic Italian cuisine, the lovely staff and the kindest host Mr. Saverio Santoro all made the experience a lovely and memorable one. My flat mates and I had a fabulous night out here. Thank you so much!

Amazing, really enjoyed it here. Service, drinks and food were great. Only one thing I would recommend is that the lighting be turned down to create more of an atmosphere (candle lighting was drowned out)

It is advisable to make a reservation. The food is nothing great but the effort is honest. I recommend his carbonara.

Absolutely beautiful ragu with highland beef, real melt-in-the-mouth stuff. Superb tiramisu and really good, attentive without being annoying service. I just loved it. And the primitive was great too!

Even though we did not have a booking, and the restaurant was very busy, the team found a table and made us very welcome and comfortable. The service was excellent throughout with the glasses, plates etc. cleared and replenished as necessary with no fuss. The food was delightful, tasty and we all enjoyed our selections of prawns, mussels, lasagne, salad and pizza. All cooked to perfection. The team certainly deserve all of the awards and accolades they have received never the years! Highly recommended.

This is the best Italian restaurant that I’ve eaten in Scotland, mamma Mia pasta is AMAZING! Everything that we order was out of the world… highly recommended!!!

Excellent service Wonderful food Best tiramisu I've eaten in my life Unmissable

Rude and unfriendly staff member

We visited Stirling Castle and our bus broke down so we had to find food and came across this gem! Everything was sooo delicious. I think about the house pasta often! The desserts ands editing was wonderful and to date the best Italian food I’ve ever tasted!

Really enjoyed our meal here! The food was lovely. The carbonara was amazing. My partner tried the orecchiette alla barese which he highly recommended. We had a very traditional tiramisu for dessert which we loved! Portion sizes were good. Both waiters were friendly and accommodating and service was quick. Thank you and we'll definitely be back.

Food was quite disappointing, Service was slow, hadn't been an hour since we arrived and just after we requested the menu to order desserts we were told that we had to leave, even though we had half an hour left on our allocated time, yes you are reading correctly "allocated time" from my booking. We paid £108 on a disapointing meal for 4. It is getting harder to get a decent out meal in Scotland, so in terms of food quality this place is absolutely just average. Service wise it is simply just shocking.

Went there with a reserved table, was pretty much kicked out 25 minutes before they told me when making the booking. Food very much over rated for the the price. Not recommended at all.

Excellent food and service!!! The lasagna was very special and delicious! My wife had mafalde pasta w braised short rib. Very good itself and the service was great. The guys taking care of us were great and really made it fun !! Great experience!

Ganz in der Nähe unseres Hotels gelegen, waren wir zuerst ein wenig wählerisch, schlenderten durch die Stadt, verglichen die Restaurants und kamen wieder zurück zum Mamma Mia. Vor allem die "Pasta Mamma Mia" und die Lasagne sind hervorzuheben. Ebenfalls das Tiramisu ist fabelhaft. Da wir von der "Italianità" überzeugt waren, bestellten wir uns noch je einen Grappa zum Espresso. Einge gelungene Abwechslung zum Whisky.

Tried to go last night and despite going at 830 and diners sat inside the restaurant we were told they were closed. Member of staff I spoke to was rude and unfriendly. Shame.

Great Italian restaurant and the perfect place to have the final dinner of our trip to Scotland. The only problem is that I have no idea where to get Italian food this good back home.

Italian cuisine in the middle of the Scottish Highlands.

The restaurant is not big, but the food is! The pizza dough is deliciously thick, the products are fresh. The lasagna is excellent, the quantities are very good. The atmosphere is very warm, the staff smiling and pleasant. Go for it!

Nous avons bien aimé nos pâtes. Nous étions dans la salle du bas qui n'a aucun charme particulier, mais ça allait quand même. Le service est correct, et les familles bienvenues.

What a delightful experience! The food was AMAZING and the service and attention were exceptional! What lovely friendly people! We sat outside on a balmy September evening with our three small dogs who were made very welcome. We'd had a stressful day and this just made it all melt away! Thank you so much, Mamma Mia! Highly recommend x

Just had the most amazing meal at Mamma Mia. We had calamari and king prawns to start followed by a pasta special and a risotto. Every dish was delicious.

Excellent impromptu lunch while visiting Stirling for the day! Delicious seafood spaghetti, as well as “Mama Mia” pasta. It was really great! 😋😋 Plus we were able to have lunch outside on the small terrace 😎😎

Excellent cuisine. Friendly waiters (a young waiter speaks French) and the restaurant is very well located. Very good! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Just like every Italian abroad, I was missing my country’s cuisine after days of UK typical food, so i went to this restaurant with my family. We really had a pleasant surprise when the restaurant owner spoke to us in Italian. We ordered two spaghetti alla bolognese and a pizza margherita. Nothing to say, it’s hard to find real Italian food like this abroad! The bill was honest and the staff friendly and kind. Definitely recommend!

As a family of italians on their last day in Scotland, we were really craving some italian food, so we decided to come here. What a pleasant surprise! Staff was (mainly) italian & extremely kind. We had a pizza and two bolognese pasta, which both were amazing. Pricing was honest. Would recommend!

Un angolino di sud Italia in Scozia. Dopo essermi stancato di mangiare cibo scozzese abbiamo deciso di cenare al Mamma mia e non ce ne siamo pentiti! Ottimi i primi, le pizze e lo stufato. Prezzi nella media. Locale piccolino, quindi è consigliata la prenotazione. Grazie a Saverio per la gentilezza e l'ospitalità. Da provare. Consigliato!

A little corner of southern Italy in Scotland. After eating Scottish dishes for several days, we decided to follow the reviews and choose the "Mamma Mia" restaurant for dinner. And we didn't regret it! The environment is very characteristic and, although the restaurant does not have many tables, we managed to have dinner in less than 45 minutes thanks to the kindness of the owner Saverio. We enjoyed an exquisite pizza, an excellent stew, some truly delicious gnocchi and pasta with meat sauce. Average price. Highly recommended! Absolutely worth trying!

If you want true Italian Kitchen, this is a great place to go! The Pizza is one of the best we ever had. Mussels with or without pasta are top!!!!

Everything was delicious, excellent quality, exquisite managers, helpful waiters, I would never have thought of eating 1 better pizza than in my city. Go without fail

Excellent pizza, coming from Italians. Well done guys

Nice place, very good pizza, friendly service. Prices in line with expectations. I recommend renovating the menus, they give the wrong impression.

Food has been delicious: Chicken cacciatore, Carbonara, even Bruschetta. Ambiente was also pleasant… Only… Okay, we reserved late three Hours upfront - glad, that we could get a table for 18:30. Arrived on time, expecting a nice relaxing time, enjoying italian cuisine. Italian cuisine went well - enjoying and relaxing didn‘t quite succeed. Service was that quick, that we were out 30 minutes later, having had the feeling, that we -as Tourists, which we indeed are- are good candidates to be brought quick through dinner to resell the table again. This impression may be very subjective and erroneous - but all the other tables around hab been seated with other guests when we came and still were there, when we left. But maybe they complain because they were forced to stay longer than half an hour… Shouldm‘t do so - at least had they enjoyed the relaxing time we would also have liked to spend..

Simply delicious and affordable. Great meal had by myself and family. They do children's portions - they asked. Highly attentive and thoughtful staff. Highly recommend. They are award winners in the region!

Fabulous restaurant, great food, great service and lovely vibe about the place.

Excellent bolognese pasta and very well served a treat

Excellent Italian restaurant with exclusively Italian products... Very welcoming place and perfect table service..

Very nice Italian restaurant. It was recommended by a local guy and I believe it was worth it. Excellent food thank you

Great food, tasty and everything you would want it to be. We arrived hot from walking (25-min walk) and had water and a fan provided straight away by the attentive and helpful staff. I can not say how great the staff were for our whole experience. Great building, just up the road from the main town with indoor and outdoor tables and stunning flavours. Highly recommended

That was probably the best thing we ate in Scotland. Of course, except for Haggis and co. Highly Recommended. The kitchen, service and manager are very accommodating here. It was just great!!!

It was the most delicious Italian food in Starling

We stumbled upon this restaurant but very glad we did. Haven’t had many good eating experiences here since moving from London recently but this restaurant could give some of my favourite Italian restaurants in London a run for their money. The food is completely authentic and home made even the delicious bread. (Homemade) It’s a charming little venue and the staff are really friendly. We will be back! Thanks to the whole team for a lovely evening and keep up the fantastic work!!! 🥳👏🏻

Visited twice in the last week and the food was amazing both times. The lasagne and house speciality pasta mains were perfect as were the prawns, caprese salad and bruschetta starters. Highly recommend a visit, you won’t be disappointed.

Thought we were gone wrong and ended in italy. But it was infact in Stirling,

Wow! Just wow! Fantastic food, probably the best we’ve had outside of Italy. Great choice on the menu, superb quality in produce, delicious food, excellent wine, outstanding service. There have been some negative comments made on trip advisor about the owner, but we found him to be very accommodating and pleasant. Lovely authentic frescoes painted in the restaurant walls of Bari by the owners friend made this a lovely authentic Italian restaurant. Highly recommend.

I ate a lasagne there. The taste was very good, but the portion was far too small, so no five stars. In this restaurant you have to be prepared for very small portions. Everyone has to decide for themselves whether this corresponds to the prices. My child had a vegan dish and was very satisfied.

The food was amazing- get the Sugo Mamma Mia, you won’t regret it. We both loved our meal. The service was fine, the owner was completely charming. Be warned- the place does close for a bit in the afternoon and Google does not reflect that.

Lovely restaurant.Food was lovely. Great service and friendly staff. Watch out as the service charge is added to your bill.

We came in with a pretty large party (14 of us) without a reservation and the staff made arrangements to seat us quickly. Everyone we interacted with was so friendly and accommodating. My daughter dropped her pacifier on the floor and one of the staff took it to the kitchen to wash it and bring it back! The food was HOT and delicious!

Very tasty pizzas. Recommended.

Upstairs so nice and airy . Very good service for 5 people from a fairly young but very attentive waiter . All of us had something different from the menu and all were delighted with the food . Would go again when in Stirling .

Mamma mia is a small restaurant on the way to Stirling Castle. The service is attentive and cordial and the food is absolutely italian. I chose Sugo Mamma Mia, and all I can say is you should not miss it. It is a Southern Italian Ragu slowly cooked with short ribs of beef in a tomato sauce and pecorino cheese. The beef melts in our mouth so tender it is. And the flavours are exquisite. For desert the traditional Tiramisu did not disappointed! A must in Stirling!

Lovely wee restaurant on the way back from Stirling Castle... Super friendly service and a great smile and custom makes an even better impression. Fabulous pizza, sadly never had anything else, but if I could guarantee that they take great care of cooking food. Well done 10/10 ,I'll be back for sure.

Tiny, unassuming restaurant near the old jail. It truly was a hidden gem, to the point where we extended our time in Stirling to make one more meal with them! Three of us polished off two plates of Caprese salad and fresh calamari in a number of minutes. The tomatoes were fresh and flavorful. The generous portion of lasagna was absolutely delicious, melting in your mouth. It was the best we have ever had- in any town, country or continent we have visited! Surprisingly it was not well known by the locals, which could be because the owner is not a long-term local.

Lovely local restaurant went for husbands birthday fabulous food service was great. Very good value for money will definitely return

Despite some mixed reviews , we thought why not ? Tbh can't understand why there negative comments about staff as they were all really nice and looked after us very well. We shared a starter of King prawns on a nice sauce with toasted bread..yum. Pizzas were absolutely delicious ( we've been to Italy many times so know a good one when we see & taste it ) proper home made base , thin with raised edges , the cheese and tomato used was of the finest quality & all topped off with a generous portion of pepperoni. As the Pizzas were a good size we shared a desert and chase the lemon and mint cheesecake and despite it sounding a bit of a strange combination again it was lovely. The decor had the Italian vibe and atmosphere was relaxed with a nice buzz. No hesitation in recommending , enjoy.

The food was delicious (the carbonara holy cow!!), the waitress was friendly and the owner was hilarious. Definitely recommend!!

Great place for a family catch up - though I'm confused why we could only book a table for 6pm when the place didn't fill up at all during our visit...? We were offered a choice of upstairs or down and am glad we opted for upstairs, which is a bit brighter and more open. Service was good - the waitstaff were friendly and attentive throughout. Enjoyed the seafood spaghetti (the veggie options weren't jumping out at me) and everyone else seemed to really enjoy their picks. Portions are great - I don't think I'd have managed a starter and a main.

Fantastic restaurant. Food was excellent, very tasty, staff superb, they ensure you are well looked after. Highly recommended.

They close at 3pm but are listed as open. Not fun.

A decent place if you are looking for an authentic Italian meal. The staff was very attentive, and portions of food were pretty hefty, too. A but on a slower side, though.

Booked a table for 8pm and was very much looking forward to our meal. When we arrived we were told we had to come back later as it was busy. The waiter was quite abrupt and said people were at the table and he couldn’t ask them to leave. I’m aware there’s not much room but there was no offer of a drink or if we wanted to sit down at the entrance. We ended up going to another Italian restaurant round the corner and had a lovely time. Very disappointed

The reason for dropping a star is because one member of staff was quite abrupt when we arrived which kinda set the tone, although as time went on the behaviour became more positive. The food is delicious and piping hot and overall Mamma Mia is a great wee restaurant. I just wish the staff would raise their game as this is the one part that lets the overall experience down.

Great atmosphere and superb food. The waiting staff were helpful and enthusiastic, which helped to make the evening special. The sugo is the house speciality with bags of flavour but they also offer a wide variety of vegetarian options. Ideal for a special occasion or just a night out for couples or families.

One of the best pizzas eaten abroad, spectacular risotto. Excited to find Italian cuisine as it represents, all Italian products. It's nice to see Saverio's professionalism and passion 🔝. And compliments to the chef. Thank you

Just wonderful. Fitted us in last minute, and then the food, atmosphere and kindness from all the team made us feel really welcome and relaxed. Gorgeous flavours in all our dishes. Also, from now on, I will just use the yolks in my carbonara and not the whole egg. Thank you so much for such an enjoyable and educational time

I don't give fewer stars because it's not possible. The food was very expensive (way above any other Italian) and not worth it. In addition, they have charged us €5 extra for a service that has been unpleasant, inattentive and rude. There is another Italian 100m away much better, don't think twice. Here the hospitality award they had only served to decorate the wall! Absolutely not recommended

Our super bad experience: It was raining so much, we entered to see the menu and the owner said that the menu was outside. I guess he suggested going in the middle of the rain to read his menu 😂. I asked him if we could read it in the inside and he gave it to us in a rude way. We didn't move to other restaurant due to the bad weather but if it had been sunny, we would have changed, for sure. Moreover, the food wasn't that good and the service was unpolite and made us feel like they wanted us to pay and leave. They had an anward of Hospitality and we cannot understand how... There are many restaurants so don't hesitate and go to other one in which you can enjoy your meal without feeling that your presence annoys.

Food was nice, portion size poor, thought I'd been served a kids portion of Lasagne, with very little meat content, we were robbed, wont be back, owners dismissive attitude on my complaint was "nobody's complained before" 😂

Wonderful recommendation from a local. The food, wine, and atmosphere were excellent!

The food was great, I ate a pizza and it was delicious but expensive and the Italian owner rushed us to decide because he said they were closing now, this made us a little upset...it's not good customer service. 4 people €100

We chose the wrong main course and it was so disappointing. The pizzas are probably excellent, and we should have had that. The service was excellent and the decor and ambience were lovely. The wine was excellent.

Great genuine Italian grub (Puglian!) in atmospheric surroundings.

It’s a great place, quick service, amazing food, tasted incredibly, good prices, lovely staff. They have gluten free, vegetarian and vegan options as well. One of the top restaurants in Stirling. Went into the restaurants to order a takeaway for me and my flatmate, was in and out in like 15 min, really good.

Pizzas were absolutely delicious - the best in Stirling. The waiter wasn’t friendly. I’d say it rather unusual for Stirling. Unfortunately, I was very disappointed with the cleanliness of the restaurant during my visit. I was taken aback to find cobwebs in the fireplace and on the ceiling. There was dust on the fake flowers decorating windowsill. This lack of cleanliness was quite off-putting and detracted from the ambiance of the restaurant. P.S. The soap in the bathroom wasn’t actually a soap but foam water.

Had pizza, mussels and drinks with colleagues here and it was a fantastic experience! The host was very welcoming and accommodating (great attention to detail about dietary needs) and kept us in good spirits throughout; the waiting staff very good, and food simply delicious. The pizza is simply *chefs kiss* I will be returning and definitely recommend this restaurant

Was staying across at the Hotel and looking forward to a lovely Italian meal. Waited outside on it opening, and was surprised that an apparently mid-east chef was blaring out mid-east sounding ‘chants’. Made an enquiry, and gut-instinct kicked in. Off to Wotherspoons.,!

The food is exceptional with the atmosphere to match. Staff and owner are friendly yet professional. Food is served in a timely manner and they have mastered the ability to make it taste like an authentic home cooked meal. Really does make you feel like you've momentarily left Scotland! We were made to feel welcome and given all the time we wanted to enjoy or visit. Will definitely be back when we are next in Stirling.

Saverio è un uomo di passione senza compromessi sulla qualità. Il miglior posto dove ho mangiato all'estero nord europeo!

Dropped in for dinner with my friend. The owner was straight out to welcome us. we were shown to our table and ordered drinks. perusing the menu we decided to share foccacia mozerella and I chose the lasagne. before long I was tucking into my lasagne with chips. it had a delightful homemade flavour. would recommend this to anyone.will keep coming back.

Más de 60 euros (48 libras) por un platito de berenjena asada, dos trozos de lasaña pequeñitos y dos bebidas (media pinta y un vasito de coca cola). Nos hemos sentido totalmente estafados. EDITO: lo que él llama pinta entera era una simple caña en España, pero la cobró como si fuese jarra. The whole coke era un vasito de Coca Cola de 200 ml, por favor, a quién pretende engañar. Y la caponata era eso, un poco de berenjena, cuando digo poco es MUY POCO. Una estafa.

Superb food excellent service very quick food was the best Italian food iv tasted very well valued for the portions you recieve will definitely be attending again.

L’ambiente e’ molto confortevole il proprietario e molto cordiale. I piatti sono buonissimi come fatti in casa dalla nonna. Con tanti viaggi non abbiamo mai mangiato all’estero cibo italiano cosi buono

Very cold window seat, lights too bright. Food was delicious , we cleared our plates! Staff were very friendly and attentive.

OMG this place is amazing we booked a table for my partners 40th birthday (quiet meal for 2) when we entered is was quiet an the staff where so attentive an took drink orders straight away then gave us time to look at menu once taken starters came.at reasonable time after ordering an to stay these where spot on is understatement the mains where to die for staff couldn't do enough even tho it got busy well done guys looking.forward to returning an good luck.at the awards x thank you for the limoncello as birthday drink for my partner

Delicious food, lovely atmosphere, and friendly staff. Visited as a family of 5, and all of us thoroughly enjoyed our starters and mains. Thank you!

Visited several times, and became a regular. Mamma Mia meets the highest continental standards in terms of ingredients' quality and recipe authenticity. Whilst the attached picture features pizza, all of which are exceptional, the whole menu is worth sampling, from the home mussels to regional pasta dishes. And let's not forget a small but outstanding selection of desserts, chief amongst which the tiramisù. Award-winning wine list, from which you could choose blindfolded, and still not get it wrong. Very efficient service, and quite reasonable prices, especially considering quality. Booking advisable on busy evenings.

We were hoping for a traditional Italian experience with atmosphere and quality of food. They did not disappoint. So relaxing and fun and the food was top notch.

Nous avions réservé une table pour 2 pour 20h et avons eu la “mauvaise” idée d’arriver 10 minutes avant. La table n’était pas prête et le gérant / patron m’a signifié que nous avions dix minutes d’avance. Comme il y avait une table vide et surtout non dressée à côté du comptoir, je lui ai répondu que ce n’était pas grave, que nous pouvions attendre à cette table. Il n’a pas voulu et nous a fait comprendre qu’il fallait attendre à l’extérieur - il faisait 0 degrés et il gelait!- Après lui avoir dit qu’il était mal élevé, nous avons tourné les talons et sommes allés dîné ailleurs! J’ai voyagé dans plus de 30 pays et fréquenté des centaines de restaurants de toutes gammes de prix: c’est la première fois que je suis aussi mal reçue!

Had a bizarre evening here where we ordered food and drinks, and the drinks just never came. Asked three times and consigned ourselves to eating without them. Then had to ask four or so times for the bill, which when it finally came they tried to charge us for the drinks that never appeared. And added a service charge as well! Food, for what it's worth, was good, but the service was the worst I'd experienced in a long time.

Went here for a catch up and had a delicious meal . Good menu choices , pleasent staff . Nice little restaurant 👌

Lovely food… good value for money. Not exhaustive menu. My son asked for milk didn’t serve it! The additional tip as they add on service vanished with that American lass inability to serve milk it was silly but that’s kiss for ya

The best pasta dishes ever! We had the assorted seafood spaghetti (with Scottish mussels) and the house special pasta with Scotttish beef ribs. Pared with a great wine list from the Puglia region where the owners are from! Totally fabulous. And finish with Tiramisu? Marvelous!

Some of the best pastas we have ever enjoyed! We had the seafood pasta and the house special Scottish beef ribs pasta. Fabulous friendly owners and staff. Great selection of wines from Puglia region where the owners originate. Tiramisu is always a fabulous finish! Ideal for a romantic dinner!

Rated food a 5 because I never got to try it spent ages lookin for this place got there and there was noise coming from downstairs not a soul around to welcome us in waited a couple mins we could smell cigarette some like they were smokin downstairs and we decided to leave , shame as the place was recommended to us

My husband and I visited Mamma Mia when visiting Stirling for our 4th anniversary. The food and service was outstanding and was one of the best meals out I have had. The wine was delicious too. The staff were so attentive and helpful. I could not recommend this place enough and I will be definitely revisiting if I am in the area again!

Піца смачна в пасті карбанаро було дуже багато жиру після бекона. Дуже треба уважно контролювати за офіціантом,приніс чек на одну суму з копією,я розрахувався , через хвилину після того як я віддав гроші,вернув і добавив ще 5 фунтів за сервіс але вже без копії.Здолося враження що на ти п'ять фунтів тебе обманули.Бутьте уважні

Booked ahead on the day over the telephone for four people ( business colleagues at 7pm ). Due to weather, arrived just 8 minutes late. Messy and empty tables immediately on show but was happy to wait at the bar if necessary and have a drink. Instead, the ignorant and rude owner told us to ‘stand outside and wait a further 15 minutes ‘because we were late’ ????? Astonishing and unbelievable attitude. Disgraceful.
