What Neal Zalagens likes about Mama Louisa's Italian Restaurant:
Absolutely fantastic from start to stop. Sara (sp) was our waitress, great service. Place was packed, still got our food in a somewhat reasonable time. The breadstix OMG. Ok I had lasagna and pasta (because they were out of tortellini), lasagna was ohhhhhhh Yummy, the pasta was pretty good and the meatball was fantastic. Had to get some extra sauce for the lasagna but that's just me. Did I mention how good those brea... View all feedback. What Alighieri Fabbri doesn't like about Mama Louisa's Italian Restaurant:
We have been going to Mama Louisa's for 30 years. The food had changed some these past few years since the son took over. It was good, but not great. We went Thursday night. And to my great joy the food was 5 stars!! I literally could have eaten my whole plate. I had truly missed the joy in eating their homemade pasta with Meatballs Joe's style! They make their own salads now, used to have a buffet style, and I love... View all feedback.

read moreMama Louisa's is a local favorite in Tucson, offering classic Italian dishes that please everyone. The homemade breadsticks are a hit, and the house red sauce is perfectly balanced. The service is usually excellent, although some diners have experienced sub-par service. Despite this, the food is consistently top-notch, with favorites like lasagna and Joe's special pepper sauce. Mama Louisa's is a great spot for traditional Italian cuisine with a cozy atmosphere and friendly service. Don't forget to save room for dessert, as the tiramisu and strawberry cheesecake come highly recommended. Overall, Mama Louisa's offers a taste of Brooklyn in Tucson and remains the best Italian restaurant in the area.
Wonderful restaurant. Service was excellent and food tasty. Would definitely do again when I’m in town next.
Always excellent and always a favorite. It's been around from the 1960’s and has been outstanding for decades. A must visit for visitors and a local favorite. T...
