    We were seated on the top floor, which is an enclosed rooftop without heat. While they had a space heater going, the room was far too big and it was a very cold night. My toes were numb by the time we left. It also seemed this space didn’t get a lot of service attention. Food took much longer than it ever has before, and we were not checked on very often. My daughter wanted to order a glass of wine with dinner, but she was halfway through her meal before the server came to check on us.

    This was our first time at Mama's and it was so incredibly good! The food, service, ambiance were all great! Arancini delicious, salmon perfect, and the cookie platter was a nice sweet treat at the end. The restaurant itself is charming and comfortable. I can't recommend it enough!

    Great time celebrating our anniversary! They even treated us with a complimentary glass of champagne! Excellent wine list and espresso martini! All of their food is great.

    Love, love Mamas. It has been our favorite in Covington since the opening. They have downsized the calamari, no biggie… still delicious!! Our Server tonight was a nice guy, but just was robotic and not very friendly. Very unusual for this restaurant! Will still be back!!
