Little Mama’s is the place you come with friends, family, coworkers—anyone you care about. We feature heart warming foods inspired by classic Italian-American recipes. If you’ve never had a meal with us, try the fresh mozz bar and some scratch made pastas. A full bar, sun room and dining room give you a variety of spaces to enjoy yourself and have a leisurely time with a cold beverage and some food like your grandmother used to make. Inspired by the 1960s and 70s Italian restaurants of his youth, Frank Scibelli opened Little Mama’s in 2020 as a sister concept to Mama Ricotta’s, a Midtown fixture since 1992 known for its pizzas and comfort classics. A second location was opened in Rea Farms in 2024 and in Cornelius in 2026.

    The service is outstanding. It felt like a family owned diner. Every staff member greeted my fiancé and I and checked on us throughout our dining experience. The food was amazing. Yes, it is pricey, however, it was worth it. I’m not sure what all the social media negativity was about. I’m glad we didn’t listen. I had the peach cobbler waffle and g- spot wings. My fiancé had crab friend rice and some of my wings lol. The lemonade deserves an award!!! He had blueberry and I had mango. There is real fruit in it. We truly enjoyed our food. 10/10 And yes, we came all the way from Raleigh to check it out.

    Everything was delicious! Was got the Paneer Angara to start, which was delicious! Along with some garlic naan and the cheese chili naan —yum! We then got the papdi chaat and the butter chicken pizza. Everything was positively delicious! While we didn’t get one of the cakes, they all looked so beautiful!
