Mamma DiSalvo's

We had a large group together for a birthday party. The food was average at best. The tomato sauce is more sweet than savory. The servings are large. If you want to split a meal they charge you $9 for a plate. The moscato was wonderful but at $16 a glass it would have been worth the expense to buy a bottle at $42. 5 glasses of wine in 750 ml bottle. My significant other had ordered pizza. Pizza is only available two days a week in the actual restaurant. We were there on Saturday night, June 7, 2024. They do have a “deli” in the same building for pizza and submarine options. I had to get up from our table to inquire why his pizza had not arrived. Unacceptable!! We had almost finished eating when his pizza arrived. It was over baked. The crust was very dark. I asked why his pizza had not arrived until now. Her response was it was baked to perfection. Lie! It was burnt. No offer to comp the pizza. The group bill was almost $700. That is another complaint. They absolutely do not separate the bill. Why? The gratuity was 20% based on the size of the group. The waitress did not have to provide 5 star service because the gratuity was already going to be given. It was a great experience to celebrate the birthday and visit with friends and family but as far as the restaurant experience it was very disappointing. My first time going to this restaurant located in Kettering, Ohio. Service was ok. It was a large group. Less and less attention to the customers as we were getting closer to finishing.

We've been in multiple times before and have always had amazing food and amazing service. Tonight, we noticed they had a selection of gluten free items on the menu. A lot of places are unfamiliar with celiac disease, but the bar tender, Marvin, knew exactly what to do and said they took allergies very seriously. We ordered a lasagna and a lemoncello flute to take home to our daughter. The owner brought it out and explain everything, reassuring me they took it seriously. The owner was so kind and welcoming, the food was absolutely amazing, and we absolutely loved Marvin! We plan on making Mama Disalvos a more frequent stop for us.
