Very good! As long as you don't mind waiting for about 25 mins for a table. Portion sizes are appropriate and salad and main course both are good.

One of our fav family restaurants to visit on a Friday night.
The owners and staff are very friendly and welcoming and the food is delish!
I recommend trying their pizzas - To die for!

I brought my parents, in laws, and husband to mamma martino's over the holidays and what an incredible meal we had. The pasta is homemade and the chicken parm was incredible (and enough leftover for lunch the next day!!)

For 6 people, including alcohol beverages and entrées, we ate for 116$. Incredible price for great food and ambiance.

The only let down was the service... Waited an hour for... more

This restaurant is the perfect place to go when craving Italian food. All the food is simply authentic homemade Italian food. My family and I go there about 4-5 times a year and it is amazing. I always order the pizza or Fettucine Alfredo. The service is amazing and the prices are spectacular. I would definitely recommend this for anyone.

The food and service was satisfactory, however, when the bill arrived the server told us "I cannot split it up and you need to figure it out yourself". Somehow in the chaos of paying separately, the server demamded more money than was listed on the bill and attempted to charge us for more beverages than we had ordered. It was a very costly dinner and I do not think me and my family will return.

Waited 50 minutes for food. No one came by for refills during that time, I even lined up the empty glasses on the edge of the table!

Great sandwiches! Very affordable. Free garlic bread. Wonderful pizza. All very affordable.

Literally Italian food like mamma used to make. The atmosphere is very cozy and frankly big... they have an out front patio and is great for big parties. The statues and mini water sculptures are great for a romantic date. Now... it can get noisy with the patrons present or the cooks constantly ringing the bell to notify the food is hot and ready.

Now on to the food. I had the pleasure of... more

Excellent Italian Food
Great food, reasonable prices, great service, clean establishment. It's a "do not miss" establishment!

The price you pay compared to the amount of food you get is reason alone to come to Mama Martino's. It's such an affordable place to dine.
The crowds they get are insane however and they could really stand to expand. Also, with all the traffic they get, they really ought to have uniforms or a dress code or something? I thought a child was trying to take my food away when I realized it was a... more

The prices are ok, the food is even less than ok and the service is terrible.

The bread kept coming since the food wasn't. We did have a big group, but this does not excuse the lack of service or them forgetting a meal all together. What is it about restaurants not asking if you want another drink? Don't they realize they can make a killing on this alone?

Anyway, no one was thrilled about the... more

I love this place! Went for a date with my BF. We had half a bottle of red wine, caprese salad, two entrees, and a desert for $50. The ambiance was great. The service was ...well they are super busy..so good under circumstances. Like others have said is simple but super tasty and for a cheap date night its perfect!

Went here with the fan to grab a bite to eat on a Friday night. There was a bit of a crowd, but we were seated right away.

To start off the night, we had a pizza for the table. It was pretty standard, but decent enough with a good crust.

I ordered the grilled chicken with a caesar salad and marinara sauce on the side. The salad was delicious and fresh--maybe a tad bit overdressed, but very... more

Mamma Martino's has been a personal favourite since the mid-eighties and I think I have tried just about everything at one time or another (except anything with calamari in it - not for me - no, no, no!!). I introduced the office to Mamma's years ago and now it is our go-to spot for office celebrations, as well.

Everyone's taste is different. Some friends introduced to the experience have... more

Wow....epic homemade Italian food in south Etobicoke. Always busy yet worth every wait for the bite.
Park Lawn and Queensway, I've heard this place has always maintained it quality for simple, hearty and flavorful home cooked Italian food. The decor is very reminiscing of Italy with the statues outside, oak wood interior decor with the small bar, light fixtures, pictures and wine racks ;)... more

If your'e looking for a big meal and a reasonable price. This is it! By no stretch of the imagination should you think this is the best Italian food money can buy, but it's good and it's value especially if you have a lot of mouths to feed. You also know it's family owned and operated and that's gotta feel good.

Judge it for what it is, a neighbourhood family pale serving "nona" specialties; rigatoni Bolognese, spaghetti carbonara, you get the picture. It's casual and unpretentious, and the flavours are good. How do you beat warm toasty garlic bread and a heaping bowl of pasts for under $10? This place hits the note when you are craving the flavours of home cooked "American-Italian" flavours and don't... more

I've come here 4-5 times now since moving to the area. We're never disappointed and the value is undeniable. I've had the pizza, veal, fettuccine... but the best meal was definitely the seafood linguine. Nothing will ever compare to the food my Nonna used to make, but this place fills that void at a reasonable price every couple months.

Friendly restaurant with tasty food at a very reasonable price. The menu focuses on homemade Italian food, simple and very tasty.

Excellent unpretentious italian food
This is my favourite neighbourhood restaurant
Excellent value for money
Try the panzerottos, really good stuff!

You get exactly what they seem to promise: good food without much waiting, very reasonable pricing and very friendly atmosphere. Dishes are $10-15 and the food is consistently good.

It's not spectacular. It's not high-end. It's not exotic. But it is solid value and very tasty. I think that's what a place called "Momma Martino" promises.

Positive:

Comfortable environment, nice servers, reasonable prices. Pretty good food.

Negative:

Limited parking spot; Does not take reservation for Friday & Saturday.

I have been going here with my family for years, it is definitely an Etobicoke staple. The food here is always fresh and plentiful all while being very affordable. I usually get the alfredo and the fettuccine is always cooked perfectly. The garlic bread is so addictive and the dressing on the chef's salad is absolutely amazing. I always ask for extra when we take home any leftovers of our... more

As other reviewers have said, Mamma Martino's is cheap, cheerful, no-nonsense Italian food. Is it good? Is it authentic? Hey, all I know is that a) come hungry and b) be prepared to wait.

Bf apparently frequented MM's in years gone by. In a fit of nostalgia for the carb life, he demanded that we venture over to Etobicoke in the freezing cold to stuff our faces with pasta and cheese. Fine. I... more

I used to go to this restaurant at least twice a week for lunch when I worked in the area. A friend had mentioned that they went for dinner recently and told me the food was delicious. So here I am back to my old stomping ground 6 years later. Well nothing has changed. Same old menus which was great because the prices have not gone up. Same choices available. So making a selection was easy. We... more

This one of favorite places in town both dine in and take out

To get two meals to go for under 20 bucks doesn't hurt either
Love the veal parm speggetti and meat balls
It's been a great treat to cone here for years

Overall I had a nice experience at this place. The food wasn't bad, and the price was decent.

The garlic bread was delicious.

Unfortunately the pasta sauce tastes uncooked, and definitely not authentic Italian.

I would recommend this place for its pizza - but I wouldn't recommend anything that comes with pasta or spaghetti. Overall, not a bad experience.

Excellent Chicken Parm. However, meal spoiled by ants on table. Pointed out to waitress. Was still billed for meal.

The only restaurant I've ever been to that made me sick to my stomach. I had the white cream sauce over fettuccine and it tasted extremely salty and processed. Terrible!

Good: Pizza is good. Full bar. Pasta is really inexpensive.

Bad: Pasta is just terrible - Chef Boyardee quality for a a few bucks more. There is always a long line.

I will never understand the popularity of this place. Assume it's just families looking to fill kids with non threatening pasta on the cheap?

Cheap. Great. Huge portions. Worth the drive. Get the classic dishes rather than the fancy ones. Love chicken parm. Mmm

To start things off you have to fight for parking so that tells you how busy this place can get. You have some spots in the front and back but odds are you will have to park on one of the side streets if you arrive well after opening.

Upon entry you will notice there are many old photos of patrons from the past, some are semi-celebrities, Leaf players, etc. The line ups can get quite long. The... more

This is the epitome of the phrase - cheap and cheerful. It's no wonder that this Queensway mainstay has been packed out the doors (and expanding to compensate) for over 30 years. But the question remains, how do they make any money charging so little for their dishes?

Speaking as an Italian-Canadian, I have the answer, it comes down to quality of ingredients. Saving on simple things like the... more

Finally opt-ed to dine in on a Saturday night. Not bad if you arrive before 6pm - we only waited about 30mins at the bar which is never crowded. After that, the wait is at least an hour, and no they don't take reservations. But ppl will stand in line for hours, you'll see :) This place is that good, if you like home style food. Presentation is not fancy, but big portions, everything under $10.... more

I love this place, it's a total carb fest. The pasta is very good and the calamari is one of my favs here. Its very affordable too, so if your cheap you'll love this place.

This is our go-to place on the way home from a busy day at work. Always packed, though we've never waited more than a few minutes. (Parking is a bit tricky. Lots of spots but they're all full). Sometime we stay, sometimes we order ahead and take-away.

They make very reliable, basic Italian food. We almost always get the Veal Parmesan with a pasta side, though I've had the Fettucini Alfredo and... more

Casual atmosphere and great food that doesn't empty your wallet.

The lineups can be long and stretch around the corner, so go early. But it is totally worth it!

I am a huge fan of the fried calamari and the Veal Parmigiana. Its like home cooking, nothing pretentious, just good home style Italian food!

Just finished having lunch at Mamma Martino's and it was the most disappointing spend I've had in a long time. I had grilled chicken and salad. The chicken was pounded extremely thin and then over cooked to the point you couldn't even cut it with a knife, you could only tear it. The salad was more like a soup with lettuce. I could not eat any of it. The only thing worse than the food was the... more

I've eaten here a few times and I'm not sure what all the hype is about. It's reasonably priced and the food is okay, but nothing really special. The bacon in the Caesar salad is like biting on grit and the eggplant parmesan was undercooked and chewy on my last visit. Service was very slow. We waited 15 minutes after we had eaten for our bill. Okay for a local place to go on a night you don't... more

Chicken parm is served with salad or pasta. I always get the pasta since they make their own noodles. Can't seem to find that anywhere. House salad is garlic based dressing and is unlike anywhere else. I love this place.

Mamma Martino's is one of the places to go if you're looking for basic Italian food for really cheap. Everything is under $10 (except for the pizza) and for that price, you get a TON of food. My boyfriend and I usually share an appetizer and an entree and we'll still have leftovers sometimes. The atmosphere is very casual which is nice and the service is always fast and friendly.

There are a... more

This place is amazing. You walk in and the atmosphere resembles walking into "Mamma's kitchen" with Mamma encouraging you to eat. It's a warm, inviting space that is large enough to accommodate a group of people and private parties.

I ordered an appetizer and main entrée. The appetizer was very filling in itself made from fresh ingredients. The entrée was sufficient to fill two people (and I... more

I had an incredible experience here!

We were about to dine here with a group of 5 at 7:30 (no reservations allowed for Fri/Sat), but early me arrived at 6:45 because I work downtown. I thought I (and boyfriend) could just sit at the bar.... anyways so the lineup was 10 people long already!? After 10 minutes of standing in line, feeling bad for asking to sit at the bar, the owner actually... more

This seemingly little restaurant does a great job. It's always packed, has attentive service and the food lives up to my memories of Mamas kitchen. The house salad is a simple lettuce and tomato mix with an outstanding dressing. I like the dressing so much that I ask them to put it on my Bruschetta. The bruschetta is very good, toasted just right and then on go the fixings. I had Rigatoni... more

This place is fantastic! The food is delicious and super affordable. The ambiance is refreshing, we sat next to the wine racks and it was fun and cozy. I had the grilled chicken and lemon with a salad and my friend had the cannelloni.The food took little time to come to the table and was quite tasty, and our server kept checking to make sure everything was fine. Overall great experience. I... more

Love the food here, and is definitely one of my favourite "go to" spots in Etoibcoke!

The type of place that makes South Etobicoke special. Fantastic family restaurant with very good food, large portions and great pricing. Fantastic decor, great service. Always a lineup on weekends.
