Mammas and Leonies in Sheffield

Would recommend to anyone the food was incredible as well as the service

TERRIBLE PLACE …. DONT GO… ITS A WASTE OF MONEY!!! Undercooked food, Rude staff & sticky tables!! I would never recommend this to anyone. This place has no hygiene at all - we found hair in our food and when we mentioned it they said it was our own - no responsibility taken for their own actions AVOID AT ALL COST wouldn’t even give it a 1 star

Really nice traditional restaurant.

Absolutely bangin! The ribs are soft and rich, the mains were beautiful and filling, garlic breads, prawns, all gorgeous and the tirimisu... FOGEDABAADIT! 🤌

lovely food but a bit expensive.

First time visiting and certainly won’t be my last! Lovely food which came piping hot, served by very welcoming and friendly staff. Great portion sizes too! I would definitely recommend the garlic bread. My only criticism would be the layout - it can be a very tight squeeze navigating in and out of the restaurant, but this doesn’t take away from the overall dining experience.

I’ve been coming since I was a toddler and my parents used to take me. Went again today with a friend and it was so good I was moved into writing a review. This is the best restaurant in Sheffield and maybe it has the best garlic bread in all of England. 10/10

Fab! So welcoming here and gluten free pizzas was one of the best. We were in a hurry and sat at the bar. The staff were brilliant. The vibe is traditional family, everyone in there was really happy which gives you all you need to know.

The Mama’s and Leonies staff were very welcoming. The food was boiling hot and burned my brother’s hand. The food was not that tasty, but it filled us up.

Absolutely love this place. Been eating here when I visit sheffield for over 20 years. ❤

Lovely meal as ever with my Auntie Jean. The cheese and onion quiche was particularly delightful. Service was grand as always.

Best place for date night ! The food (esp the veg lasagna) and milkshakes are delicious!!

A great traditional Italian, consistently excellent.

Lovely food and very nice staff

The food was good, had better for less. However, the service was great, just didn’t like how tight it felt being in there with 4 others.

I see this restaurant recommended so often and, alone in the city centre tonight, I thought I'd give it a try. The service was great - attentive but not overbearing. The food, in comparison, was absolutely terrible. I've eaten many a supermarket ready meal carbonara in my time and I can say WITH CONFIDENCE that the dish for which I paid almost £13 tonight was exactly that. The same overcooked, too thin spaghetti, the same onions and the same anemic pork 'bits' floating around in a sauce that's never seen an egg in its life. This place is a tourist trap. It's certainly not a place for anyone who's ever actually eaten Italian food.

Was only meant to eat here once this week. 3rd day running and it's simply outstanding. The atmosphere and service just great.

What a great find! Friendly service and excellent food that comes with a homely atmosphere. Would highly recommend

A little piece of Italy in the heart of Sheffield. I went in for dinner and I really enjoyed every twist of my spaghetti bolognese. The aroma of the grated Parmesan brought all Italy in my plate and the music played in the restaurant completed my experience. The waitress was super helpful and friendly which was another icing on the top of Mama’s & Leonies cake. The very design of the place helped give the Italian night a boost: the checked tablecloths and simple cutlery and tall salt and paper shakers plus colorful plates gave me no other choice but that of pure joy and taste.

Great traditional atmosphere. Excellent food and wine.

A really nice place to eat. The food was incredibly quick to come to our table and the food sizes were reasonable. We decided to get a starter of ribs after our main and the portion was incredibly generous, more of a starter for 2 than one. Overall, it was a nice place to eat with lovely food.

Stay away! Food dreadful, service not much better! They forgot one of our main courses but didn't acknowledge it until we asked! Pretty sure it's simple maths. 5 customers = 5 main courses, not 4! Pizzas are no better than a takeaway, too much topping which was dripping in cheese & raw onion on top of a soggy bought-in pizza base. Rest of the food was way too hot so clearly pre-cooked then microwaved to order. Massively disappointing, don't waste your money as there are so much better places to eat in Sheffield

Just in mama's having a amazing meal would definitely recommend it amazing staff

Brilliant restaurant with delightful food - pizzas are a little small so I've learned to order the calzone!!

Ideal for meals before theatre. Booking essential.

Absolutely a gem of a place, booking recommended, the food was outstanding and the desert was to die for

Tremendous home-cooked food, sumptuous house wine and a very chilled and welcoming atmosphere - beyond recommended

Went on a busy Saturday night. Two adults and 3 teenages. The business couldn't have been more accommodating and friendly. Amazing food, attentive staff and they treated the teenagers like young men, all of which added to a wonderful experience. Can't praise the place highly enough. Will certainly have our custom again.

Lovely food last night. Even better than my last visit. Very reasonably priced and quiet atmosphere. Definitely be back!

Had a really nice time, the decor is lovely, the staff is friendly and the food is amazing, definitely coming back here

My favourite Italian restaurant in Sheffield. As usual, food was good with big portion and feel like you served the homemade ones. Staffs are always friendly and warmhearted. This is the first time I have my Mom who has never adventured food before. She loves prawn salad but a little bit sour (or maybe I poured much dressing).

It's very small and a bit cramped. The food was lovely. The only downside was the waitress gave my friends lunch to another table, so she had to wait for her meal to be re ordered. And there was no apology. The toilets are up a flight of stairs, I don't think there is a disabled toilet. Looks a bit tight on space if you have a wheelchair. Limited parking on the side streets. There a few disabled spaces.

All the food is pre-cooked and just heat up. Not much cutlery skill

Food was very nice and at very reasonable prices. Very big portions too

Been going here since 1977!!!!! It serves my favourite pizza - fruit pizza. Unique and delicious. I love this place - my favourite in Sheffield and my favourite pizza in the whole world, including Italy.

Great food. Fantastic atmosphere. Eat at the bar. My favourite.

I have been here many times and usually excellent. Today I ordered steak. Big mis-steak. Ordered it rare and it came out well done. Sent it back and they gave me the worst cooked piece of boot leather I’ve ever been presented, including when I’ve been to Clark’s for a new pair of puddlecatchers. 0/10 wouldn’t feed it to a stray dog.

Popped in before a snooker session and were lucky enough to get a table. (Turned others away later so booking recommended). Warm welcome. Lovely cheesy pizza and spag Bol. Would definitely come again if we get back to Sheffield.

Very friendly staff and good food!

Have been wanting to visit for ages and it did not disappoint! We loved our meal, service was perfect, great price too. We were lucky to get seated without a res Saturday lunchtime - book to avoid disappointment!! Perfect ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Beautiful food, nice surroundings and food came quickly

Never been here before and I can't see why. Lovely atmosphere, great food and really friendly staff. Well be going again!

Brilliant food, reasonably priced! Spare ribs are best I've had. Pizza was outstanding.

A pleasant evening visiting Mama’s & Leonies for the first time. Staff are friendly and welcoming into the restaurant. The food was good quality and tasty. Ample parking to be found in nearby car parks.

Very popular restaurant. I've lived in Sheffield all my life. I knew of Mamas and Leonie's but had never visited. I will be visiting again. Food is excellent. Not expensive at all. Service is very friendly. Relaxed atmosphere. Had a main meal, dessert and a couple of drinks. Less than £75.

I had Spaghetti Bolognese, and I really enjoyed it. The food quality is excellent and tasty with reasonable prices. The staff are so nice and friendly. The place is cosy and warm. Overall, it's a lovely restaurant!

Excellent food and very friendly staff.

Staff were lovely and the food was amazing. I can’t wait to go there again.

Great food ,great price,great service ,the best

Imagine a place, that's warm , fantastic atmosphere , food is amazing. You probably go again. Just try everything on the menu...

Came here for a meal for the first time with some friends, and I was very pleasantly surprised. I've known people that have been here and have recommended it, but I've never had the time to try it. The restaurant is a very small, authentic Italian. The staff were very polite, and the menu was very standard Italian cuisine. The pizzas were very tasty, and I even had the fruit pizza (very controversial I know, but I would definitely recommend it). They say they don't sell many fruit pizzas but I really enjoyed it, who'd have thought apple's, bananas, pineapple and raisins work on pizza! We also got some wine which we shared, and all beers/lagers are bottled. The mains were very tasty. My only critiques would be they tell you what the specials are on the board because if you're sat upstairs you wouldn't know, and they had some lovely vegan options I wish I saw, but by the time I saw the special board I'd already ordered. They also did custard with the apple pie which isn't mentioned, but I asked for custard and they did do it which is good. The desserts were also not piping hot so maybe that as well. But in general a very good and tasty experience

Firstly thankyou to the lovely staff who were very polite and attentive. This is the best lasagne I've ever had! As a slightly fussy eater (due to textures) I was a little sceptical to try this but It beautiful. I feel like no words can describe this well enough. I also had the cheesy garlic bread which was just melt in your mouth! The portion sizes are bigger than I expected and deffinatly fills you up! Worth the money and more. Thankyou for a lovely experience, I will be returning!!

Delicious freshly cooked food and friendly service.

Lovely food and service, tables just a little cramped together. Well worth a visit.

Beautiful little gem .A lovely family orientated restaurant ❤️

Brilliant, friendly staff and great food. Definitely worth going.

Steak was amazing.. salad was even better, make sure you get the lemonade too.

Amazing food and great atmosphere, very cozy and friendly

We had the chicken pizza, the chicken with spinach pasta, mashroom with garlic, steak, and chips.. It was extremely delicious.

No available tables so was seated at the bar with a friend, then was ignored for 15 minutes, no drink order taken, not even handed a menu. Gave up and left.

Amazing food and hospitality been before and will go again

Good food, service and atmosphere as always, loved it 😋

Excellent food as usual took our grandson for the 1st time her loved it

Booked in for a family meal for my sons 14th over a month in advance, we arrived to find it was closed, thank god we found somewhere else who could accommodate a group of us at very very short notice😡😡😡

We had a lovely meal. Everyone in our party enjoyed their food 😋 I had carbonara and it was very nice.

My absolute favourite restaurant. Not just in Sheffield but out of all that I have visited. I have been visiting here for many years and for many reasons. Firstly- the food is just the best. Consistently delicious. Proper home cooked scrumptiousness, that is well presented. You can tell every effort has been put in by the chefs for every dish they serve. The staff are so friendly- not in a pushy way, just genuinely putting in every effort to ensure you enjoy your meal and will happily accommodate any requests where possible. The restaurant itself is traditional, Italian style, stunning, welcoming and very clean. This is my happy place, and I only wish I lived nearer to visit more often. I use any celebratory occasion as an opportunity to come back to my 2nd home and in the meantime they have made me up my fave veg lasagnes to take home & freeze, and save for rainy days when I can comfort eat this restaurants finest in my own home between visits. Keep up the amazing work, and thank you for many years of feeding me with delightful food and the outstanding service you continue to provide. Would recommended this place to anyone & everyone. ❤️

Very efficient service and managed to find us a table even though we had not booked one.

Top notch service, great food, lovely atmosphere.

Great little restaurant run by lovely staff serving delicious food.

The food and service is out of this world 🌎 😋

Quiche and salad beautiful at 12 mid day.....just before the rush.perfect

A fantastic meal as always. Friendly and accommodating. Food is exactly what you expect delicious and home made. Will definitely be back time and time again

Absolutely disgusting. The staff are lovely but the food is terrible. The lady told us with pride that everything is fresh and authentic. It was most certainly not. Not even Italian. Dated recipies greasy food very sickly. Undercooked and overcooked dishes not one redeeming dish. The staff are extremely deluded as to the quality of the food.

Excellent meal, lovely staff, we will be back.

Always enjoy eating here. Great food, great service.

A lovely meal with great friends. Defo be going again. Food lovely.

Just goes to prove great things come in small packages! Excellent food and service. Love this place.

Great food, all freshly cooked, good value.

Never had a bad meal here, the food is consistently very good. We've worked our way through the menu over the years and never been disappointed. I think my faves are the garlic mushrooms followed by pancake romana! Super efficient and friendly staff and just a great vibe.

Brilliant as ever. And thooose spare ribs 😍😋

Cozy and lovely vibes… definitely I’ll be coming back. The salad is fresh and tasty. The pizza dough is soft 😋 servers are sweet 🥰

Went on a works do. Pizzas were tiny but nice. 'Homemade' Tiramisu was very nice.

A tiny little joint, which means the tables are a little close together. However the food was good and hearty. We shared a picante mushroom starter (not too spicy actually) but flavourful, and then we had meaty Bolognese calzone, pizza pia (mushroom, tomatoes cheese). All good!

Real Italian food well cooked and piping hot can recommend

Very warm, home-like atmosphere with kind staff and very very delicious apple pie! Highly reccomend to hop on, get a glass of wine and just enjoy the vibe.

Quite poor overall. Asked 3 times if the pasta was fresh, I was told 3 times that it was. It was not. Waitress seemed annoyed that we took some time to decide. Outdated 80's-90's recipes, while cutting corners in the ingredients, heavy cream usage, canned tomatoes without much care on it's cooking, honestly I can cook better at home. Around 20£ per person for an averaged priced plate and an alcoholic drink. Save yourself

Cosy authentic Italian restaurant. We often visit after work for a shared pizza and dessert. The food is delish, and the customer service is beyond excellent. Food does not take a long time to arrive and is always high quality. The atmosphere is cosy, and the coffee is great too!

Lovely place , very friendly staff and the food is great 👍🏻, they do open at 11am if you fancy a spot of lunch, they do have a lunchtime menu . Happily Recommend 😊

Oh, I absolutely loved my experience at Mamas and Leonie's restaurant! From the moment we walked in, we were greeted with warm smiles and a friendly atmosphere. The service was truly exceptional - the staff went above and beyond to make us feel welcome and attended to. Now, let's talk about the food! We ordered the lasagna with sides of sautéed mushrooms and fries, and boy, were we in for a treat. The lasagna was cooked to perfection, with layers of rich, flavorful sauce, melted cheese, and tender pasta. Each bite was a delightful explosion of flavors that left us craving for more. The sides of sautéed mushrooms were an absolute delight. They were perfectly seasoned and cooked just right, maintaining a wonderful texture and earthy taste. And let's not forget about the fries! Crispy on the outside, fluffy on the inside - the ideal companion to the mouthwatering lasagna. Overall, our experience at Mamas and Leonie's was nothing short of fantastic. The exceptional service and the delectable food truly made it a memorable dining experience. I would highly recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for a friendly atmosphere, outstanding service, and delicious Italian cuisine.

Excellent food as always, friendly efficient staff and reasonable prices. One of the few surviving independent restaurants around. Highly recommended.

Bellissimo. Ottimo ristorante Italiano.

Ribs and hot sauce 11 out of 10. Quiche, too wet more cheese Needed.

Excellent Italian food, freshly cooked.

Lovely food , pleasant staff, near to the theatre .

Lovely family run independent Italian. Very friendly and good food. Big variety on menu including salads, pizzas, pastas, burgers and grills. Nice selection of sides and starters too.

The food and service are wonderful!

Went for lunch before the theatre. Tried quiche special. Very tasty 😋

Food is amazing freshly cooked and the staff are so helpful

Never disappointed. Food is delicious.

Casual but vibrant atmosphere. Fast service of very tasty food.
