Mama Lou's Italian Kitchen

Mama Lou's Italian Kitchen offers a wide variety of Italian dishes in their menu. From Appetizers, Soups, Salads, Pasta Dishes, Pizza, Main, Desserts up to Drinks they have it. They have Fries, Nachos, Cheese and Seafood for Appetizers. They have tons of choices for their Pastas depending on your taste - Tomato based, Spicy sauced, Oil and Garlic, Cream sauced & Homemade, Their Mains are Chicken, Pork and Seafood. 

I've always wanted to try Mama Lou's but every time I end up dining in other restaurants. So over the weekend I was able to give it a go. 

Menu (menu pictures below are not mine; credits to the owner. I just grabbed it from the net - prices are the same as it is before)





















Our order: 

Antipasti (Appetizer): For Appetizer we ordered Poutine (175.00) and Nachos (195.00). For the Nachos it tastes as expected. I just wish it comes with more beef. Poutine is actually known as a Canadian dish. It is basically french fries with cheese curd and gravy. I recommend you to try it. It was so good. Well, we all know french fries is a favorite appetizer but with cheese curd and gravy it is a sure winner.






For Pasta: We skipped Salads and Soups, we had Shrimp Formaggio (325.00) and Spaghetti Seafood Olio (335.00). Shrimp Formaggio (tomato based) is a penne pasta with shrimp, mozarella, white cheese, basil in cream and tomato sauce. Spaghetti Seafood Olio is an oil based pasta, cooked in olive oil and garlic with assorted seafoods - shrimp, clams, mussels and squid. Shrimp Formaggio tastes fine to me or maybe because i am not a fan of tomato based pasta but I can give this a passing grade. Since i am into Olios, Spaghetti Seafood Olio is a hit to me. I can finish 2 plates of this for sure. 

They don't have pastas for sharing (big plates for a group). Their pasta dishes are only good for 1 person or maybe 2 persons if you don't have a big appetite. I hope they would offer their pastas in group serving. 





We also tried their homemade pasta Ravioli Spinaci (350.00). Ravioli is a type of dumpling with filling between 2 layers of pasta dough. It is served in broths or in this case pasta. Ravioli Spinaci (Spinach) is composed of Spinach, Mushroom and ricotta stuffed in ravioli smothered with blue cheese sauce. This is so good! I can say this is one of my favorites. 




For the Pizza: As i have mentioned above their pasta is only good for 1 person can be two max. So I suggest you get a pizza. Good news, their pizza comes in small and large. Small is 12" and Large is 14". We chose to try their Bianca Pizza. This is a must try too! Bianca pizza (395.00 - Large) is mainly cream, mozarella, mushroom and bacon - what more can you ask for?  It is rich in cream and mozarella so it is very tasty. 




For Risotto: Risotto is an Italian rice dish cooked in broth to a creamy consistency. For their Risotto we chose to get Risotto Tartufo Funghi (325.00). It is risotto with mushroom and truflle cream. This tastes good too because of course who wouldn't love truffle? It is so creamy. The rice was cooked right. 



My Recommended Dishes: PoutineSpaghetti Seafood Olio, Ravioli Spinaci. All in all I am happy with my experience in Mama Lou's. The price of the food is affordable given the rich taste.
