Great night out with family. Service, food and drinks were great. Owner was very attentive. Highly recommend

Great meal and great service. The chicken Marsala and lobster ravioli were fantastic! We will definitely be back

Beautiful evening dinner one of my favorite long time north end classic.

1 and done. Definitely a haven for college students. The basement seating facing a wall offered no ambiance in addition to the poor initial service.

Little disappointed in the food. Everything else was good.

Reviewers had mixed experiences at the restaurant. Some noted decent food but were put off by unprofessional behaviors like the owner in sweatpants on his phone. Many mentioned issues with gnats and slow service. However, others praised the generous portion sizes and good flavors. Overall, opinions varied from disappointment to enjoyment. Some highlighted the historical charm and excellent service, making for a pleasant dining experience. Mother Anna's was a popular choice for families and those looking for classic Italian dishes in a bustling Boston neighborhood.
