• Comfort Food • Venice

Mama’s Boy is an Italian dinner club with a Southern accent, brought to you by Michelin-starred Chef Wes Whitsell. Situated inside Winston House – a popular community hub with live music and DJ sets – Mama’s Boy is the perfect start to a night out. With lively dishes that embody Chef’s Texan roots and mom’s home-cooked Italian food, the menu strikes a balance between comfort and creativity. At Mama’s Boy, he presents his most innovative menu yet: a fusion of nostalgic Italian cuisine with a Southern twist - a true ‘Spaghetti Western’. Each dish is a nod to his upbringing, a journey home where every bite tells a story of love, tradition, and the connection of family.

The four of us had a soft shelled crab tempura and shrimp mousse stuffed squash blossoms for an appetizer. The barramundi, boeuf bourguignonne, and lamb ribs were all excellent. We brough two exquisite wines, which were uncorked and decanted perfectly. The white tablecloths and 1960s music all made us feel like we were in an exclusive club. This is a hidden gem in Santa Monica.
