Mamma Mia in Bradford

It was our first time going here and I must say it’s easily the best place in Bradford for authentic Italian food. This food transported me back to my time in Italy! Fantastic food and excellent service. Most definitely will be coming back!

Little gem we all forget about but shouldn't excellent service excellent food

Hay poco que añadir a las críticas obtenidas por este excepcional restaurante italiano. Velas, cuidadosa atención por parte del personal. Bonito vino tinto de la casa. Tuve el antipasta misto - suficiente para dos facilidades. Espagueti de calamar negro. Cantidades muy grandes; con pan siempre en oferta. Tomamos un café y charlamos con el hijo del dueño, nos llevamos tan bien que obtuvimos 2 grappa gratis! Un highloght del viaje para nosotros. Recomendado!

Food here is really tasty and good value. The filled pasta was amazing and the waitress kindly let my 11yo put a load of parmesan on it. The pizzas were lovely. I had seabass which they customised for me. It was nicely cooked and came with a delicious tenderstem Broccoli and risotto. There is delicious bread with garlic butter. The service is very friendly. Good atmosphere on a busy Saturday evening. We walked from the alhambra theatre, took 10 mins. Rounded off our trip to the theatre beautifully. Will definitely be back if we were in Bradford.

Went for lunch on a Saturday. Great service and yummy food. Children’s menu and high chairs available.

Fuimos aquí a cenar antes de ir al Teatro de la Alhambra. Excelente elección. Servicio rápido, personal amable, comida deliciosa. Muy popular decir que era un martes por la noche. Corta distancia al teatro. Tuvimos entrantes de canelones, queso frito y hongos, pizza principal y canelones, seguido de pastel de queso y brownie de chocolate. Todo delicioso. Encomio,

Utterly stunning food, and superb service. Mamma Mia’s is the best place for heart

¡Excelente! Segunda visita ahora Muy recomendable La comida, el servicio increíble. El personal es amable y atento a todas nuestras necesidades. Sentado cerca de la pizzería, el tipo vio que queríamos la cuenta y la arregló. Una última cosa que el Houmous que salió como aperitivo fue fuera de este mundo. Preguntamos sobre ello y nos dijeron que el lavadero de olla lo hizo, se quita el sombrero a usted. Deffo volver de nuevo 👍

Food was not quite 5star, and it was surprisingly quiet with quiet atmosphere, but service was 7star.

Great place been going for years, and will be for many more

Its good for the price staff are kind Amazing pizza

Yo y 12 colegas vinimos para un almuerzo festivo hoy. Las porciones eran ENORMES y totalmente deliciosas. Ninguno de nosotros tenía una queja. El personal era tan dulce y a pesar de que tuvimos algunos problemas con la pre-orden no se entrega hasta el último minuto, el restaurante se ocupó del hipo perfectamente. 100% recomiendo mama mia! ¿Y el martini expreso de naranja Choc? Bellissimo

Vine aquí por mi cumpleaños con la familia y todos nos lo pasamos muy bien. Todo el personal era muy acogedor y la comida era increíble. Muy buena relación calidad-precio, todo el mundo tenía entrantes y platos principales, estaba todo delicioso y todos estábamos llenos y no tenía espacio para el postre. Sacaron mi pastel y todos fueron muy atentos. Es un negocio familiar y se nota porque te tratan como familia en cuanto entras. Un ambiente encantador y un gran lugar para celebrar ocasiones. Vine aquí el año pasado por el aniversario de mi pareja y yo y me encantó y decidí venir de nuevo este año por mi cumpleaños. Disfruté mucho de ambos tiempos. El único problema que encontré fue que nos dijeron por teléfono que tendríamos que pedir en el menú de Navidad, sin embargo, no queríamos esto, ya que era una celebración de cumpleaños y no una celebración de Navidad, sin embargo, esto se resolvió, así que creo que fue solo un error. En general, un lugar tan bueno con comida increíble y recomendaría este restaurante a cualquiera!

Excellent food, same standard as the restaurant!

Great atmosphere, excellent service and I can honestly say one of the best steak dinners we’ve ever had. Highly recommend, worth pre-booking as it was, unsurprisingly, pretty busy.

Always fantastic food and a friendly, welcoming atmosphere.

La primera vez que he estado en este restaurante, Gran ambiente, servicio y comida Muchas gracias por una velada muy agradable (Nell’s llegué allí eventualmente)

Delicious Food and Friendly Service While visiting Bradford, we decided to try Mamma Mia for an evening meal, and it turned out to be a fantastic choice. The food was absolutely delicious—served hot and in generous portions. The family-run atmosphere added a lovely personal touch and the staff were incredibly friendly and welcoming. Highly recommended!

Booked for a works event. Fantastic dishes, service and environment. Would recommend. The imported Italian lager was superb too!

We've come here everytime we visit Bradford. Most recently, we ordered 1 Aperitiv, 2 Starters (Pasta and Bruschetta) and 1 Pasta main. Everything was delicious, brilliant service, very nice ambience as well. Highly recommended.

Given the wrong starter which didn’t detract from the experience itself as it was rectified relatively quickly. Both starters were delicious and portion sizes were very generous. Unfortunately the lamb main was very overcooked(possibly due to being reheated because of the starter mix up). After being asked if everything was ok with the main no apology or acknowledgement was given to the feedback. I’m left really conflicted because the calamari was spot on but the accompanying salad(which was just raw onions and salad leaves) and tartar sauce lacked flare and originality. I only had a bite of my wife’s pizza and it’s hard to find fault, the dough is as good as it gets. The services was really good on the surface but when feedback was given it wasn’t acted on. Unfortunately don’t think I’d go back. Would pay the extra cab fair to Bon Apps where my meat would be properly cooked and my feed back heard.

Booked Mama Mia’s when we can to see Gareth Malone at St George’s Hall. Had to ring to book for a Saturday night and can see why! We arrived a little early for our 5pm reservation and as they do not open until 5 there was already a queue of people outside. By 5.30 they were full and despite there being a large party going on, the staff were attentive, the food was delicious and the ambience had a pleasant buzz. All of our food was delicious and the generous portions of desserts were the perfect end to our meal. The reviews are spot on and we will definitely be booking again when we visit Bradford in the future. Thank you. ☺️

Lovely food family run restaurant 30 years in the making what's not to love

Fabulous authentic Italian food, perfect 👏

Great family restaurant wonderful food and exceptional service

Amazing find in Bradford. Food absolutely amazing and lovely friendly atmosphere. Service also excellent. Would definitely return next time we are in Bradford

The delivery driver has delivered the food to someone else. Asking for a refund. Nothing wrong with the food. Is more likely that is just eat’s fault. I regret my 50 minutes of waiting.

Delivery was a little late as the driver went to the wrong address but that is not the restaurants fault. The food was totally delicious and I will definitely order from them again. Really, good food.

Really good Italian food made and served by really good people. One of my Bradford “must-go’s” each time I’m there.

Fabulous food, authentic Italian quality and taste!

Vale la pena visitarlo. Excelente comida y personal muy amable. Nos hacen sentir muy bienvenidos. Fuimos como una familia de cuatro, todos adultos. Todos disfrutamos de ella. Tan bueno como en cualquier lugar.

First class Lovely tasty food with a great friendly service. The choice of dishes is great and some good deals Recommend a visit

Otra visita a Mamá Mía cuando visite el norte. Nunca me ha decepcionado pero siento que los estándares de cocina pueden estar disminuyendo. Mi entrante de calamar era bueno, pero el stroganoff de carne (en la tabla de especiales) era un poco agobiante, ya que las tiras de carne eran un poco duro. El servicio como siempre fue excelente. ¡Cuidado con los tamaños de porción son muy generosos!

My favourite Italian I’ve been coming here for over 15 years and will return again and again. Love the food, love the staff always welcomed with a warm smile and nothing is too much. Me and my partner love it!

It was my first time visiting mamma Mia’s and honestly it will be my last time as well, the service and the armostphere was lovely but the food let them down massively, I got the pizza and it was covered and swimming in Grease and oil it was bland there was no seasonings the pizza was burnt all around the edges like charcole and it was like eating concrete the chips were okay and the calamari was alright tasted a little off not sure if they were undercooked, my partner got his food and he ordered the cheesy garlic bread and that was dripping head to toe in oil and grease and was just appalling to say the least, the carabonara he enjoyed but majority of that meal was absolutely appalling nothing was seasoned everything tasted bland the only think I enjoyed was the water couldn’t even eat the chips as everything else made me feel sick So safe to say I will not be coming back here again

Good chat with owner about BCAFC.

Food amazing. As good as eating in the restaurant, just missing the excellent staff for a friendly chat. Don’t mess about going anywhere else!

The pizza had very little topping on. They told me an extra topping on my granddaughters pizza was free then charged extra. Won't be back there

Lovely food and excellent customer service, thank you . We will definitely return and we most certainly recommend.

Went as a group of 9. Order taken and food freshly baked in wood fired oven. Good tasting pizzas. Two of the group ordered pizzas that didn't have a tomato base and they were disappointed. Their error for not reading the menu but maybe staff could clarify when taking an order that customers are aware a pizza without tomato has been ordered.

First time I have been here, the staff are very friendly and polite, the food was excellent and plenty of choice, would recommend. One good thing they do which a lot of restaurants don't do is serve the food on hot plates.

Excellent quality food. Authentic Italian. A gem in the heart of Bradford. Keep up the good work people!!

Bang on for service and food it never fails when we eat here it’s a shame the rest of Bradford isn’t good as we start and finish our night here

Excellent food and great prices. Staff is very welcoming

Had a lovely meal here last night. Nice little family run business since 1985. Had a lovely chat with Leno, one of the owners, who mentioned to us that all his ingredients came from Naples. Nice wood fired pizza oven, too.

the lasagna wasn't nice at all. really disappointed. it's usually amazing

Wonderful evening celebrating with colleagues at this delightful Italian Restaurant. Staff very attentive, polite and every item ordered accurate with nothing forgotten. Food was outstanding, the best lasagna I’ve ever tasted and colleagues said the pizza was absolutely delicious and couldn’t compliment the chef enough.

I was part of a party of 22 celebrating my grandsons 18th birthday . The service was amazing, the reordered meals were all ready to serve at the same time and everyone said the food was delicious, as was mine. The staff attended the party perfectly and singing Happy Birthday in Italian and English while dancing and playing tambourines made it a night my grandson will remember for years to come. Well done Mama Mias...you smashed it!

Great food and wine, we'll be back 😁👍

Had a lovely meal here, food was delicious and good value. The staff were really helpful and friendly. Definitely recommend and we will be back next time we are in Bradford.

Brilliant food and staff were really friendly and helpful. Would highly recommend.

perfect in every way. thank you

Excellent fresh food and service, home made and quality dinning experience for a group of seven of us, celebrating two birthdays. Good range on the menu, pasta, pizza’s and steaks etc… everyone enjoyed it and left very full! Beer on tap was tasty too! Thanks for looking after us guys (and the complimentary Limoncello’s!)

Amazing food and affordable price! A pasta and a pizza for £19! Highly recommended

We enjoy coming here alot, and the things that stood out for us were the staff they were so kind and generous, the music to listen to Italian music while eating is a comfort like any other and lastly the food, Is absolutely amazing, great variety and portion sizes can vary as well so it's perfect for adults and children. If you can go to mamamias you won't regret it!

Gorgeous food, welcoming staff and great atmosphere. First time but not the last visiting here. Highly recommend a visit of your in the area ⭐️

Visited this evening for dads birthday. Although busy food and drinks were served promptly. Food was delicious! Great atmosphere!

Real Italian restaurant, Neapolitan pizza

After looking forward to the meal for 2 weeks and being served a starter that was meant to be hot And a starter that was meant to be cold The king prawns arrived too quickly swimming in oil and soggy, there was a squashed prawn so at this point sent the dish straight back. The replacement was hot and the salad was crispy and not swimming in oil. One half of dads advocado was hard( not impressed) The main course was ok but didn't bowl us over. Dad got bored and left his. For dessert I had hot chocolate fudge cake with cream. Dad had a hot chocolate which he enjoyed. At £51 ahead how about doing things right first time!!! (Starters) We are certainly not in a hurry to return!

Cannot rate this place highly enough! Food was amazing, and service was friendly and welcoming. Best italian we've eaten outside Italy! You can tell a lot of care has gone into sourcing the best ingredients. Reasonably priced too. Already booked to go back with family. Looking forward to it 😀

This pizza fell apart, floppy at the front and chewy at the back. The ingredients however, were brilliant, good sauce good pepperoni and good cheese - tasted authentic. It needed to be cooked about 5- 7 minutes longer for a crispy base and fully cooked crust. Nduja mayo was ok, nothing special, a twist of lemon and oregano would work really well. I would be hesitant to order again - when I visited the restaurant, I had the same pizza experience 8 year's ago. thought things may have changed.

We visited this restaurant for lunch today as a party of 3 adults and a baby. Very nice surroundings, staff are attentive but not overbearing. Great choice on the menu and specials board. Our order was taken by a very friendly and knowledgeable young man, we all opted for pasta, the trofei with broccoli nduja (can’t spell it) and a creamy sauce which was absolutely delicious and for my mum a delicious Italian soup. They have a wood burning pizza oven so we could see our garlic pizza with half cheese and half tomato being made and the complimentary bread and butter on the table was delicious too. They have a children’s menu and my grandson had chicken breast in breadcrumbs with fries and a fruit shoot. All in all a very enjoyable lunch

Sorry, we didn't like it at all. Went on Fri wi my son, was busy. Got a table for 2 straightaway. But pizza was bland. No taste. I had veggie one, son had ham pizza. Really bland. I had a big red pepper on my pizza that was just raw. I left 2 slices, they asked me if I wanted it packed, I said no thanks. I had wanted to go there for about 3 yrs seeing their ad at city ground. But it isn't for us. First and last visit. Maybe it was far too authentic for our taste buds. Ale was great though.

After going here for many years for family occasions and work ones I can honestly say we have NEVER had a bad meal or service staff always friendly and polite.

Mamma Mia's doing deliveries is a terrible thing... for my plans to avoid takeaways! The food is fantastic, the service amazing... just like if you go in the restaurant, only you get to enjoy it in your own home. Can't recommend enough.

Delicious! Food melts in your mouth 👌

Amazing service and food my daughter said it was the best spaghetti bolognaise she’s had

Christmas day meal. Food and service first class echoed by the 4 of us.

Faultless. Superb service, atmosphere and value money. Food was spot on 👌👌

I've never had a bad meal from Mamma Mia, my go to for proper comfort food. Best Italian restaurant in Bradford!

I couldn't be more grateful to the staff at Mama Mia for putting the time into fixing my order mix up. My family and I have been eating here for decades and the food & hospitality is the best. Thank you so much again

Very different to the last time I was here. This restaurant used to be my favourite Italian. This time was ok but it wasn't anything to really shout about it like before. The calamari was ok but wasn't really good like last time, half of it was quite soggy and rubbery and the the other half was crispy and done perfectly. So a 50/50 on that one. The prawn starter was incredible but could have done with an extra prawn or two it was really overloaded with salad. The carbonara Italian way wasnt cooked how it should have been. It was abit bland like there wasn't enough cheese, egg yolk and pasta water, it was very low on the main ingredients. The flavour was there just not enough of it, the egg yolk had scrambled so it didn't have the natural creaminess. Pizza was nice, taken out abit to soon but was still a good pizza. I hope this doesn't offend the restaurant as I'm just trying to be honest. I hope it goes back to how it used to be. I left the staff a tip they were absolutely amazing, such lovely people

Had such a wonderful evening here for my daughter’s birthday. Highly recommend this great Italian, what a gem we have found.

The carbonara pasta was delicious and the sicilia pizza was incredible, you can taste its fresh and authentic Italian food. Staff are really welcoming and friendly. Overall experience excellent I can't wait to go back again.

Paid for extra mozzarella but there was barely even the standard amount on. Disappointing because it cost extra didn’t get it and the base was lovely

Enjoyed everything was brilliant

First visit here. It was busy so service a little slow but the food was delicious & worth waiting for. Staff were attentive & friendly - would definitely visit again 🥰

The pizza here is just the best, been coming here since opening and never found anywhere better. Keep up the good work guys xxx

We ate at mumma Mia in September when at uni, we are back again and made a point to come back here, food atmosphere staff are all lovely best Italian I’ve had! Even better that my regular in Essex! Totally deserves 5 starts!

Everything was good so I feel a bit mean not giving 5 stars. I've been before and it's safe to say the place is consistently good.

The food arrived cold but I couldn’t fault that because the traffic is so bad, the pizza was absolutely delicious! Best I’ve had in Bradford. The carbonara was so tasty and the arincini stayed hot and was delicious! Lovely food

This place came recommended to us, and now I see why. GREAT food, lovely atmosphere with really friendly staff. Good deals on certain nights of the week so worth looking ahead.

The food arrived cold, the delivery took almost 2 hours

Outstanding as usual. By far the best authentic italian food in town, excellent service and a friendly vibe.

Great family run restaurant Lovely food served by very friendly staff

Absolutely marvellous food, lovingly, freshly prepared. Generous portion size. Staff very caring and quick to respond to a minor emergency (spilt glass of house white wine). Prices are fair for really good food. Allow a bit of extra time to get there as major works in Bradford City centre take a bit of negotiating but it's worth the effort.

lovely food, best pizza in town!

Had a super meal here. Lively family run restaurant. Delighted to find somewhere with a great atmosphere and excellent friendly helpful service on a damp Saturday night

Fantastic food and drinks, very generous portions and lots of different flavours. Calamari is well cooked and garlic mushrooms are great. Limoncello spritz is one of my favourite cocktails.

Very delicious food and excellent quality! Thank you! 😊

An excellent restaurant- good size servings & lovely delicious freshly cooked meals - so tasty. Service was amazing, first visit for us we're not local so if we return to Bradford, will definitely go back to Mama mia's, ALL staff very friendly & attentive to customers, lovely clean, warm atmosphere. Nothing yo dislike - deserves all 5 stars!

Pretty decent family style Italian restaurant. Rustic, homely, tasty. The fact they offer an “English” and an “Italian” carbonara is novel and pleasing to see. As someone who hates cream in a carbonara it was nice to see a more authentic one on the menu. Although saying this the “Italian” one was a bit dry, a bit more egg yolk and pasta water and it would have been great. The starters were nice. The meatballs with nduja had a really nice spice. The prawns were cooked perfectly. The garlic bread was crispy and tasty. The service was really good. Can’t fault the place really. Definitely worth a visit.

I ordered online because I once ate a delicious pizza in a restaurant. This time disappointment. Very rubber, bad dough. It's hard to bite and swallow. The cheapest tasteless tomatoes. Almost no tomato sauce. The pizza came slightly warm and was delivered to the neighbor next to it. Totally disappointed. In total, for these two small (10 ') rubber rings almost 32 pounds. I can't recommend it. Ps. I do not understand what a charge service for. (Home Delivery -no Service)

Been to mamma Mia on numerous occasions, food always brilliant and service in second to none. Leno and the team really go the extra mile to look after you and the price is very good for the amazing home cooked food you receive. We will be back, keep up the good work guys.

Food not great compared to other Italian restaurants in Bradford plus in my opinion is overpriced for what you get, won't be going back

We were a group of 30 and the restaurant gave us a seamless service. The food was lovely, they make sure you're happy with it and nothing is too much of an ask. They also cut and served our shop bought cake at the end of the meal. I hadn't been here for many years but I will definitely make sure to go back more often now!

Those pizzas hit high notes like Pavarotti

Very good food. Traditional style Italian Restaurant. A relief to get away from chains.

What a great find, walked all over Bradford looking for a decent restaurant that done steak and wine and wasn’t disappointed, very authentic Italian restaurant with great staff and great food

Never disappoints, the food is sooo good and the people are lovely. Service is great too
