This is one of my favorite pasta places in orange county. Not only is the food good but the customer service is top notch. …

I was really in the mood for Chicken Parm tonight but as an Italian American who grew up in NYC I am very particular about Italian restaurants. I saw that this restaurant was highly reviewed and saw a number of groups outside waiting for a …

Food was great !! Kids love it too, very friendly staff

45-minute wait was worth it within 2 minutes of sitting down we were given warm garlic bread with water. Appetizers came out 4 minutes after being ordered.Buttt…. the food didn’t come out for 38 minutes at 9:06 when we ordered at 8:45. Overall good meal but wasn’t entirely worth waiting 2 hours in total.

Mama D’s is amazing. We rode 500 miles on motorcycles just to eat here and I would do it again anytime. Keith the owner is a gracious host and came to the table to talk with us and brought his mother’s favorite dish. The pasta is fresh. …

Some of the Best Italian food around. Served promptly and hot …. Waitresses are Super Friendly and take care of the patrons with a Smile. Tip them Well, they deserve it. …

Been here many times and it never disappoints. Usually you can’t find this kind of authenticity for Italian in a place like Newport but this place is the real deal. They do all the right things, even down to the little details like …

Love this place! I had it once as a kid, and finally had the opportunity to go back this past 4th of July weekend. We took a beach trip specifically for Mama D’s famous pink sauce. It was an experience I never forgot as a kid, and had …

Took the family while on vacation. Great food excellent service. Our server was knowledgeable and apologized for the drunk guy next to our table. My kids loved the Alfredo and was a big portion. We will definitely go back.

The place was absolutely awesome. Went there on Friday night with a party of 7 while we were on vacation. We got a table quickly. Our server Sam was attentive, friendly, and just awesome. The food is incredible. Probably the best restaurant …

This place is phenomenal! DELICIOUS food, amazing service and great atmosphere! Booker was an excellent waiter! Get the spicy version of the pink sauce for sure!

We had a party of 10 and had about 15min wait on a Tuesday night. Staff was super friendly and checked on us out side during the wait. After being seated Olivia came right over with her great smile and made sure to get us our drinks. Olivia …

Couldn’t say enough on how good their food and service are?! Drove up from San Diego to have dinner. Glad they still around. We’ve been going to this place every time we traveled to CA once a year since 2016.

Felt so welcomed at Mama D’s! Staff was all very friendly and waitress was excellent! Pasta was also very fresh and delicious! So many options to customize for whatever you’re in the mood for! Service was quick and efficient! Also, loved the complementary cookies at the end! Would recommend for a nice dinner night in Newport!

Score: 80/100 a B-. We asked for a table for 2 and got seated in around 20 minutes on a Thursday evening. The restaurant is very cramped but that’s understandable given its prime real estate location. We got started with some bread which …

A textbook of good italian dining.

Welcoming vibe, family friendly, good foods, and reasonable price. …

The customer service is excellent. I was in Newport for my birthday and they came out with a brownie and sang. And the owner came with to give me a birthday card with a coupon for next time. The portions are pretty big. …

In one word, AMAZING! We went to this little gem while on vacation. There was a line out the door and boy was it worth the wait. Enjoyed bread and wine service outside while we waited. Stockton was our server and he was great. Made …

So so so good. Excellent service. Cool people. Great tasting food. Meatballs tasted just like my mom’s!

My last night in OC and this is where we came for dinner. The line up outside was insane that we didn’t think we were going to get seated before they closed but we did! …

From Salt Lake City & don’t leave many reviews. This was some of the very best customer service I’ve ever had. This was tons of food! I was helped by 6 different individuals during a full house on a Wednesday night. If you want great food, a solid atmosphere, and WORLD CLASS customer service. Go here.

So delicious! I had the baked ziti with meat sauce and pink sauce and it was so delicious. The service was great. Waiter and staff were kind and attentive. The wait wasn’t too bad for 7 on a Friday. We only waited 30 minutes and they passed out some bread while we waited. Will definitely be back to try more of their menu.

Great service, food, and wine selection! Their pink sauce with meat ravioli was fantastic! They also give you generous portions which is great!

I ate here with some girlfriends for dinner! The food was very delicious and fresh! I got the fettuccine noodles with the pink sauce. Everyone was raving about the pink sauce, but I found it tasty, but nothing out of the ordinary. However, …

The weather is fine today, I brought my sisters to Newport Beach for dinner. Yelp found this cost-effective Italian meal. After arriving, I lined up. The salt and pepper squid was so crispy and delicious. We ordered two plates, and my eldest ate it. a plate. Excellent pasta.

Excellent service, food, and tasted like a home cooked meal! Great find at Newport Beach and the restaurant is a local favorite and now mine. The waiters also give great recommendations if it’s your first time ordering. Food comes out hot …

Popular for a good reason, the food is great and it feels like a family is running the place.
I had the chicken parmesan and enjoyed it. My dinner came with a nice portion of spaghetti and veggies. Fresh toasted bread who was served with a seasoned olive oil for dipping. � …

Friendly service, lots of food. Long wait time due to popularity. We came during the dinner rush so the wait took about 1.5 hours for 4 people. Thry brought out samples at one point for Ziti and Marinara. …

The pasta is amazing in fact one of the best in town if not the best. The pizza was good but not the best. Worth trying for sure. Easy five stars. The service is great and fast. …

Went for dinner, arrived shortly before 5 and it was crowded on a Wednesday. The food is good had the veal parmigiana, meat raviolis and the portions were generous. Parking may be tough but there are a few public lots a block up and the …
