Mama Cucina - Glen Allen

First time to Mama C's and had lunch. The prices were reasonable, but then when I saw the portions come out...it was 2x the food I was expecting!! And the quality was absolutely fantastic! The bread served was amazing too. Service was top notch and the setting was great. I have only great things to say about this place and can't wait to go back!

This is a wonderful, authentic Italian restaurant! The menu is extensive. I had a hard time choosing which dinner I wanted. I ended up with Veal Saltimbocca which was delicious! The portions are very large which is an understatement! The ambiance is very nice inside plus there is a patio for outdoor dining. To top it off, the service was excellent!! Highly recommended!!

Ridiculously good huge portions, great service. I HEART this place. I stopped into this place, staying at a hotel a few blocks away and wow! am I glad I did. My home town in upstate New York has tons of Italian restaurants and Mama Cucina reminded me of one of those places authentic, robust menu, quaint, and with a feeling if intimacy unlike many McRestaurants out there today. I ordered the sausage and peppers (see pic) which had a great red sauce, and the sausage was delicious. It came with a huge salad and fresh bread. I took enough home to be today’s lunch, though it was still massive. The owner stopping by to check to see how things were going was an added touch. Great authentic Italian food in Short Pump. Will repeat.

Highly recommended! Excellent service..amazing real Italian food.

Excellent service and huge portions of delicious food, from the bread and olive oil, to the salad, and finally the Chicken Bolognese. Love this place!
