Wife had linguini with clams, very good. Lasagna was good but not near the best I've had. The bottom edge was burnt and hard. Also, a little too much romano or parmesan cheese on top. It was a thick hard layer of super sharp cheese on top. And I'm usually a fan of sharp cheese but this was a bit overwhelming. Fresh bread was tasty. I would go back to try something else.

I visited on a Monday dinner time, so there weren't many people, so I was able to eat leisurely. An Italian restaurant with a nice atmosphere. The service was friendly and good. The food was a bit salty, but overall it was delicious. Parking is free at the back of the restaurant. Even if there is a space on the street, you should look carefully at the signs and park.

Osteria Mamma is an absolute gem! From the moment I walked in, I felt the warmth of an authentic Italian family atmosphere. The decor is charming, making you feel right at home. The food is simply outstanding! I started with their homemade pasta, and it was one of the best I've ever had—perfectly cooked and full of flavor. The risotto was creamy and satisfying, and I couldn't resist ending my meal with their delightful tiramisu, which was the perfect balance of sweetness and texture. I was also excited to learn that Mamma Loredana's first cookbook is available! It’s clear that her love for cooking and sharing meals shines through in every dish they serve. The staff at Osteria Mamma were incredibly friendly and attentive, making sure our dining experience was top-notch. If you're looking for authentic Italian cuisine in Southern California, I highly recommend visiting Osteria Mamma. I can't wait to go back and explore more of the menu! Buon Appetito!

Osteria Mamma is one the best Italian restaurant in LA. I suggest you to make reservations. I got there at my reservation time, 7.30pm on Friday, it was fully packed. There was literally only one table left in the restaurant, which was ours as we reserved. The charming decorations made the place more fancy, but the friendly service made it feels warmed. I love everything I ordered. The black spaghetti, panna cotta, wine. My friend recommended this place to me and it did not disappoint. I would also recommend this place to my family and friends for sure.
