Lovely staff and the food was great. I loved having my steak served on a hot stone so that I could eat it just as I like it. Nice location to watch the world go by too.

We had a very good welcome and found the staff very friendly. We were there at 7.00 and the restaurant was not too busy. We enjoyed our meal although we found that the pizza crust was thicker than we like it. By the time we finished our pizza I think every table was full and we sat chatting for some time with no one offering us a coffee or desert menu. We were not in a hurry so it wasn’t a problem, however eventually we did get impatient at the long wait and we did attract a waitress’s attention and after a short wait had a delicious key lime pie and Di Rollo ice cream and coffee. By this time some tables had emptied and peace was restored. So it was a very mixed experience.

Personale simpatico in una delle location più belle di Edimburgo. Pizza abbastanza buona che può essere condita in moltissimi modi. Può essere una bella idea per una cena easy.

Mamma's has a great location and vibe. I appreciated the lack of music/ noise as I was there to talk to my brother. We received a good welcome, great window table and fast helpful service. Pricing is geared to tourists in the popular Grassmarket, though the University is very close by with good alternative places to eat. We specifically wanted gluten-free pizzas which were tasty, though a couple of toppings were slightly sparse. It was Saturday night but we were not pressured to leave after our early meal - much appreciated.

Always great pizza, much better than the usual pizza chains. Always try to visit here when I’m in Edinburgh. Careful of the spicy topping if you’re not into hot food.

Food is as described and tasty. Seating wasn’t inspiring and we were tucked away in a corner. However, staff were very attentive. That’s why it’s a 5. Good job!

There was too much cheese on the pizza toppings. Also plates were too small making cutting pizza difficult. Lasagne was very dry and again too much cheese. Service was friendly and efficient

Nice food, but nothing special, friendly service, but they forgot one of our deserts and it turned up tens mins after the other. Slightly dated interior and only one loo, which is inadequate for a restaurant this size, these days. It was reasonably good value, but the menu is a bit confused/confusing and it’s hard to work out how much things costs - until the bill arrived! Overall it wasn’t a bad meal, but then again I wouldn’t rush back.

Not the best. A few menu items were unavailable. The restaurant was cold. The quality of the food was not great. In fairness, however the restaurant did not charge for two main meals. Felt sorry for the server who had to deal with the complaints. He did a great job in difficult circumstances being badly let down by the kitchen.

I used to be a regular diner at Mamma’s way back in the early 1990’s. This was a visit prompted by nostalgia. However I have to say everything that I loved about Mamma’s from back in the day is still there today. This is one of THE best places for pizza in Edinburgh. It was true then and I’m delighted to say it’s still true today.

Brilliant experience from the moment we entered. The friendly waitress sat us down, 2 adults and 5 kids (ages 4-7 yrs) armed with coloured pencils and activity sheets. Drinks were brought quickly and the activity sheets kept everyone quiet til the pizzas arrived. The pizzas were fab, beautifully cooked and devoured by all, finished with ice cream. Thumbs up from everyone, including 4 7yr old boys - not easy. Thank you Mamma's for such a great time.

Good quality food matched with fantastic service in a relaxed atmosphere. Being located in the Grassmarket and it being a big tourist area, I wasn't expecting the food or service to be as good as they were, and the prices were decent too. Gluten free options were great and the staff fully understood keeping things separate for a coeliac, even wrapped up our left overs!
