Trendy indulgent Italian food . Colourful design, walls strewn with alcohol bottles. Every dish we tried was delicious - especially french toast , bufala pizza , truffle pasta , tiramisu . Big venue

‏One of the best Italian restaurants in London!! Nice atmosphere and friendly staff . Go for the Truffle Pizza ,burrata spaghetti

Dmitry Kurilo

Amazing food. Great atmosphere & ambiance. Must go for Italian cuisine .

Typical Big Mama setting: great pizza and pasta (supposedly with Sicilian twist), scandalous waiting line , extravagant decoration, and in the end expensive but generous portions .

Hyk

I haven’t seen a restaurant as beautiful as this. Stunning! No reservations , but make sure you go 2 hours ahead of your intended time. Delicious food and do not skip the dessert ! ????

Abdulrahman M

Truffle spaghetti is a must

Tomilo Sikeren

Excellent pizzas with light and fluffy dough , heavenly truffe pasta . Beautiful decor and friendly service . Long queue but the actual wait is not too long.

Basmah AlB

Very highly recommended???? the burrata spaghetti is a must ! The pizza also was so delicious.

Mallory Napolitano

Good, but not amazing. Portions are big so worth sharing and checking with your server if you’ve over/under ordered. Make sure you get the lemon pie and a branca menta for dessert .

Noura Abdullah

Mafaldine al Tartufo 10/10. Legalise Mushroom 10/10. Burrata alla Marinara 7/10. Overall i liked so much and i’d like to come again. The staff are kind and friendly ♥️

Jess T

Amazing atmosphere and incredible food. Try the virgin cocktail that comes in a mermaid tail shaped mug. The pasta had a great bite to it and the pizza had a deliciois fresh tomato sauce .

Deema Saud

Loved the place ! It was worth the wait for 2 weeks to find reservations . Food is ok (pizza , pasta...etc) but dessert was outstanding! Go for the banofee ????

Kostas

Great and tasty dishes, proper quantities, friendly service and great space. Glass of wine serving could've been a bit more. Overall, highly recommended.

Nice atmosphere, truffle mafaldine was very good, burrata was so liquid inside, i didn’t like it, bresaola comes without rucola ????

Ierax Holargeus

Great Italian restaurant in central London. Outstanding interior design . You have to try their carbonara , pumpkin and truffle pizzas and tiramisu . Book in advance as it’s really hard to find a table.

Abu Aya KD

Food is all round good but the tiramisu and lemon tart are amazing

Gabriele Guidoni

You’ll be amazed by the walls lined with 20.000+ spirits bottles and religious knick-knacks. Mind the cheeky view between the gents’ and ladies’ loos and enjoy the 50s-60s retro songs.

I’ve now tried all the big mammas in London and once again, the venue is gorgeous but the food is pretty average. Nothing mind blowing. I would say the decor and ambiance is worth a visit though

Nikos Prapas

Unique flavors , I tried the carbonara and the pizza with then chestnut ,which both were delicious . Fast service and great atmosphere

⚪️

I recommend the burrata and the truffle Pizza and pasta , leave a space for their desserts

H

They serve only spaghetti pasta , no penne pasta . I personally did not like the Big Mamma Classic Carpaccio dish, service is great and you can pay your bill by scanning the code in the end

The atmosphere was lovely and the friendly staff made our experience enjoyable. We had veal pasta and pizza margherita . The pasta was super delicious but the pizza was ok.

Rawan Alazzam

The seating is too die for, the staff are super nice. The food is ok. The flavor isn’t that strong. Had the Margarita piura, truffle pasta & burrata .

Michelle Wiles

Let’s face it, you’re coming here for the decor. The food isn’t bad, but it’s not fantastic

I wouldn’t go for the truffle pizza unless i am a big fan of the flavour, nice interior and vibes, the tiramisu seems yummy

G Bucci

Lovely atmosphere but below the average Italian food . I had veal scaloppine and they were on the skewers and burnt.. burata although looks amazing, it’s really burata but more of a mozzarella . I would

Fresh

You can make a reservation for a breakfast . Second hall offers more privacy

Athina Trachalaki

The starters where much better than mains. Worst spaghetti I have ever tried at a restaurant(like mold). The pizza was fine but with too much oil. Great atmosphere though.

Omar

Do not miss the black truffle pasta

Deepa Mirchandani

There are teething problems; coffee was watery, food came out at different times, staff were new. But its beautifully done so if the kinks are sorted, it’ll be a great place for the summer.

Very cool atmosphere. We didn’t book so couldn’t try the food but staff was very friendly ????

Mazen Abounassif

The restaurant is amazing with great service, the truffle pasta is to die for 10/10

So sad to see the menu changed . The portions are huge and the best thing about the place is the decor and the pizza ????
