Italian dinning done right! The number one most important thing when dinning Italian is how welcoming it is and Mama's welcomes all. From the start with the parking attendant welcoming you and directing you to a spot, to the hosts, to the wait staff, and the managers/owners the whole experience was so warm and friendly. Of course the food is important too and we were not disappointed. Everything was so delicious, come hungry as you will want appetizers, an entrée or two, and dessert. Speaking of wanting two entrées, you can get a Duet which is a split of two different entrées that they offer, giving you a chance to try multiple things off their large menu. They truly welcome all with separate gluten free, vegetarian, and vegan options. They even put out little name plates identifying who gets what, so those with dietary restrictions or allergies do not need to worry. Excellent drink selection as well, we did a craft of the red sangria with our meals. With our delicious desserts we opted for a sambuca and a grappa. The staff was attentive, friendly, and helpful the whole way through our experience at Mama's. We drove just under an hour to check this place out and will do so again.

Valentine’s Day was our 2nd time dining here and it exceeded our expectations. My boyfriend is vegan and that’s what attracted us the first time we came. The vegan menu is extensive and they truly care about ensuring the meal is delicious. It’s impressive that the chefs are doubling down in the kitchen - traditional proteins and creative alternatives like eggplant francese and vegan “scallops.” Also, from the moment you walk in, anyone that tends to your table is aware if you have dietary preferences/restrictions. Working in food ourselves, we know how much prep goes into trying to ensure your establishment runs smoothly and your staff doesn’t feel overwhelmed or agitated. I must say that Mama Baci knocked it out of the park last night. Everyone had a smile. Everyone wished you a Happy Valentine’s Day. Either it was the head chef or owner who greeted you as soon as you walked in and was assisting the hostess in confirming who was there with/without reservations. We were late by almost 30 minutes and not only did they not stipulate us, we were given a table relatively quickly. One specific interaction that I was impressed with was a food runner who observed my boyfriend’s meal, was able to tell it was from the vegan menu just by looking at it, and offered to get him shredded vegan cheese to sprinkle on top. I thought to myself wow, just by looking she knew what he had and in that quick pass she thought to offer to get him additional cheese, in the midst of all the other tables she was helping tend to for the holiday. And she also brought me extra bread which is FANTASTIC. As was the coffee - they have GOOD coffee. We drove over an hour to dine here both times and will happily do it again and again. Whether you’re local to Hackettstown or it’s a little out of the way, I encourage you to make the drive because it is beyond worth it. You can spend your ride there enjoying the mountainous scenery, then spend your ride home recalling the delicious meal you just had. Kudos to everyone at Mama Baci, from the head chef, to the dish washers that keep up with plates and utensils. Lots of appreciation, we already can’t wait to get back!!!

What a grand welcome we received upon entering your restaurant. This was our first time at Mama’s and my family and I enjoyed your hospitality. Three members of our table had Dairy and/or Gluten allergies. The owner, Tomasso, personally came to our table and went over the menu, and the amazing variety of dishes that you make with fresh ingredients to each customers personal order. Thank you for this experience and for the delicious food and service you and your staff gave us. We will be back!

1st time I visited: Service was amazing.. the chef/owner was very warm and friendly gentleman. He explained to us the different menus and the history of the restaurant. I am dairy free and 2 people in my party were gluten free and dairy free. I’ve never seen such a complex menu with endless options for dairy free/gluten free people. Its been 10+ years since I’ve had a chicken parm or any type of cheesecake dessert. Mama’s made it possible.

One of 3 restaurants in Hackettstown that deserve to be considered local institutions (the other two being the Sub Shack & Hong Kong Palace). Mamma’s is Warren county’s best and most storied Italian restaurant and pizzeria, and for good reason. Everything here is expertly crafted authentic Italian American home cooking, from their popular pasta/entree duet plates to of course their calling card, their NY/NJ style pies featuring some of the best sauce I’ve had on a pizza. That’s on top of having some of the friendliest customer service around. not to mention, I’m pretty sure the owners know my dad‘s family. If they’re reading this, my dad’s name is Mike Gerola, but they probably know him as Tyke since that’s his nickname around town. Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5
