Having been before, we were happy that the pizzas, especially the white pizzas which can be harder to do well, and food in general were still really good! Only downside was the service being a little slow at times, though they were full and therefore had lots of hungry customers for two waiters!
Mama Impasto • Owner
Thank you so much for coming back! We’re really happy you enjoyed our pizzas, especially the white ones. We appreciate your patience and understanding about the service during a busy evening. Hope to see you again soon for another great meal at Mama Impasto! 🍕💛

The service and food were exceptional and very good value. Our party had a variety of dishes, including pasta, pizza and desserts - all delicious and generous portions. Parmesan cheese was left on the table so we could enjoy as much as we wished. The service was both sensitive and attentive, with humour and generosity! We will definitely be returning!

Place is in a tourist trap area, which is rather seedy. Staff is rather unwelcoming, and food is extremely bland. Quality of produce is substandard and cooking skills of the chef are largely absent.
Mama Impasto • Owner

We’ll review your comments carefully with our team to improve both the food and the overall guest experience. We hope you might consider giving us another chance in the future. 🙏🇮🇹

The focaccia bread with burrata was amazing! Between us, we had the chicken with mushroom cream sauce, carbonara and fettuccine with pesto. Everything was superb. We had the daily dessert and it didn’t disappoint. Our server was attentive and his English was very good.

This is a nice Italian in the tourist zone , with good food and staff was really nice, attentive. Well done. Price level is descent This restaurant offers a variety of Italian classic dishes and pizzas and is one of the places where i was able to spend my Fork Yumms and turned out to be a good option. Glad we visited this restaurant where this monday eve the service was outstanding( eg top wine / water up without being pushy, no upselling) and Yumms discounted included without asking etc. We will be back

Lovely spot amount many other restaurants, we had a nice seat just inside with a window looking out on the street. Manager advised the card machine wasn't working when we arrived but that wasn't a problem for us. Starters was amazing but I was a little disappointed with my pizza. It seemed to be drowned in chilli oil but was still tasty (and very spicy)

Service was decent. Drinks menu was a bit limited. Food was not what we expected in terms of taste/ ingredient quality. We have also been often to Italy, so expectations for food were not met.
