Editorial Review
by CitySearch Contributor
Standard Italian fare that's a far cry from your basic pasta in red sauce.

In Short
True Italian-style pizzas, a stylish atmosphere and the signature penne alla vodka, penne with sauteed pancetta in a spicy tomato sauce with pepper vodka, keep Mama Ricotta's filled with people seeking a good, inexpensive meal. Other standards, which can be ordered in family-sized portions, include linguine with clam sauce, angel hair with tomato basil, lasagna, and rigatoni amatriciana.

    Mama Ricotts's is the best. Their lasagna is by far the best I have wever had. Their salads are huge, a meal by themselves, the garlic bread is scrumptious and the desserts are to die for. Do yourself a favor and go eat there. It is worth your time and money. Just a great place to eat and the service is great too!!

    The Penne alla Vodka is the best I've ever had and it's my favorite Italian dish, so I've tried it everywhere! Even the garlic knots pre-meal are the best. All around an A+!
