The menu offers a lovely variety of Italian dishes. To start, you can try an appetizer or side, such as the fava bean bruscetta, or the Prosciutto e Melone, a tasty combination of cantaloupe, prosciutto ham, mozzarella and olives.

For your main course, you can try a pasta dish, such as the spaghetti carbonara or Picatine di Vitello, a sautéed veal dish with artichokes, capers, white wine and lemon juice. You can finish off your meal with a coffee, espresso or cappuccino, or try out a daily selection of sorbet.

If you’re not a meat-eater, Mama Luisa features an entire “Menu Vegetariano” for you, featuring an assortment of vegetarian entrees. Among the veggie options are a full selection of cheeses, from fresh Mozzarella to goat cheese; the Bombette Pomodoro e Arugola, a ricotta and spinach gnocchi; and the Ravioli di Zucca, a butternut squash ravioli.

If you’re looking for a drink, Mama Luisa has a fantastic selection of wines, by the half bottle, by the bottle and by the glass.
