First of all, what it is: a fantastic neighborhood eatery. What it is not: a four-star restaurant complete with expensive table settings and black tie servers. If you like huge portions of homemade pasta and luscious pizza this place will become a consistent stop. If you're looking for a stuffy, overpriced fancy place to impress a trendy date you will not like Mama Santa's. The down to earth atmosphere where form takes a back seat to function is ideal for students and artists at any age. Beware conservative elitists!
Pros: value/portions, relaxed atmosphere, great pizza
Cons: weekend waiting, no soda refills, closed Sunday
