Mama D's Original Italian Restaurant - Hermosa Beach

My husband and I were in town on vacation and found this little gem. Mama D's is a small, authentic Italian restaurant. The food and service were both fabulous! We couldn't have asked for anything better. The chocolate chip cookies served at the end of our meal were also delicious (who doesn't love a good chocolate chip cookie?!). They were such a pleasant surprise! The staff were all friendly. I want to give a special shout out to our waitress, Jaime. She made sure our every need was taken care of. I'm gluten-free and she made sure the chef made the appropriate tweaks to make my meal GF. Thanks, Jamie! If you're anywhere near Hermosa Beach, make it a point to have a meal here. You won't be sorry.

I love Mama D'S! Had a wonderful dinner Monday night out on their patio. Even though it isn't far form the hwy and is next to the parking lot for Lazy Acres it was cozy with heat lamps decorated lovely and we really weren't disturbed by cats or sounds. The meal was fantastic. We brought a bottle of wine with us and paid a $15 dollar corkage fee. They start you off with delicious warm slightly cheesy bread and a yummy dipping olive oil with garlic. I chose the gluten free pasta with a sauce of the specials menu brown butter sage. Absolutely amazing. My friend got a special and it was the same sauce I had and a short rib ravioli. My other firmed had the eggplant Parmigiano and it was so good also. I am putting pics up but sadly we had started to eat when I realized I had to take pics so hopefully still pretty lol. I think they have a fabulous selection of entrees and the specials change regularly and are all fresh. I highly recommend you go and get your Italian on here. It is nice sized portions I had plenty for lunch the next day and the price is nice. The staff was so wonderful and fun and cared about everything. They made the evening very nice. I absolutely can not wait to return. Do yourself a favor and hit Mama D'S Hermosa Beach ASAP. I suggest you peruse their wine and beer list they had quite a good selection. Such a fun spot to gather. Thanks for a great night!!
