Ristorante-Pizzeria Mamma Mia in Oldenburg (Oldb)

I wanted to eat a pizza here, but the prices quoted for a pizza defy description. Without a drink you pay upwards of 15 euros.

A nice ambiance, good seating, and a relaxed atmosphere for a good meal. Unfortunately, the menu doesn't specify which beer is used for Alster. Krombacher is standard in Germany. Here, however, it's Jever. Not everyone likes Jever. If you ask if a different one is used, you're told that you have to drink it, as no other type is available. If you ask a different waiter, you'll get a strange look and then reluctantly get a new drink, unfortunately this time alcoholic. Then your cutlery is cleared away after you just want a drink. It's not friendly service.

Mamma Mia is and remains my favorite Italian restaurant in Oldenburg. I've been there countless times and have never been disappointed. The food is always delicious, the service is friendly and quick, and you just feel like you're in good hands. Sure, prices have risen a bit over the years, but that's the case almost everywhere. The quality here is good, and I can highly recommend a visit, especially at lunchtime. You can often get a table spontaneously. Things look different in the evenings, depending on the day of the week it's better to make a reservation, otherwise you'll find yourself standing in front of the door with your stomach growling and looking longingly through the window. The only thing I don't really like is the narrowness. Sometimes you sit quite close to each other and you can almost hear what was ordered at the next table before the waiter even writes it down. But that's also part of the Italian flair, isn't it? When it comes to food, you get exactly what you would hope for in a classic Italian restaurant. Nothing fancy, just solid, good cuisine. I can particularly recommend the pasta dishes and meat dishes, simply delicious, honest and reliable. If you like Italian food, it's hard to go wrong with a visit to Mamma Mia. I'll definitely be happy to come back again and again. And not just because I now know where it is most comfortable to sit. It is also more suitable for small groups and is unfortunately not entirely barrier-free.

Unfortunately it was our first time in Oldenburg and we chose the wrong restaurant based on reviews. The pizza at number 96 had a very sour taste, as if something from the seafood wasn't fresh. The waiter was rude and didn't want to hear anything about it. The second pizza I had ham and salami was edible, but nothing special. The dough will dry out very quickly, perhaps made from corn flour. Very unfortunate. This can ruin your impression of Oldenburg, even though the city is very beautiful.

In our opinion, this restaurant is the best in all of Oldenburg. The location is great, you overlook the market square. The food tastes extremely good and the price-performance ratio is right. The carbonara is made with egg and tastes very tasty. We keep coming back☀️

Today I visited the Mamamia restaurant in Oldenburg and the food was really excellent. Unfortunately the service was very disappointing. The waiter seemed unfriendly and didn't show a smile, which spoiled the atmosphere. When I tried to reorder something, he just turned and walked away. I understand that it can be stressful during busy times, but it is important to remain friendly and attentive to guests. The delicious food deserves better service. I hope the team will consider the opportunity for customer service training.

We ate here years ago. The food was good! The service was rather unfriendly, which dampened the atmosphere. Particularly stupid: the review here from back then was deleted because it was classified as “defamatory”. It was a friendly, benevolent but honest review. The potential for good reviews is definitely there (location, delicious food). Work on training the staff and giving the guest a nice evening instead of having bad reviews deleted!

The pizza was really tasty, unfortunately there was too much bacon on the ham for me personally, but that's definitely a matter of taste.

Food okay, not overwhelmingly great, but okay, otherwise... stressed staff and you have the feeling that you have to leave soon after eating so that the table is free quickly. If you ask for a table and there is nothing available, unfriendly rejection, no regrets or "from x o'clock", simply "No". Knowledge of German is also not entirely available, which makes communication difficult

Top!! I can definitely recommend it. Everything fits here, quality, selection, mentality, and🇮🇹 temperament 😋👌👍. Thank you🍀

The lasagna I ordered was not tasty at all. But even more, I would say the service is really the worst there. Not even trying to say hello at the door, not sympathetic at all or like the short young guy being rude and trying to fulfill some Italian stereotypes. Will not repeat in this place and will not recommend.

My favorite restaurant whenever I'm in Oldenburg

Very friendly service staff, very attentive and accommodating, what else you can't say

Nice people, delicious food, fair prices, cool atmosphere. Gladly again!

A well-known address in Oldenburg for many years. Unfortunately the service is very variable between quite friendly and very unfriendly. There isn't much of Italian hospitality to be felt either. The pizza was also tastier and had more flavor. But the lasagna is really not good. Hardly any minced meat and instead cooked ham. There is also a lack of taste here. Well, that was probably the last time Mamma Mia for us :(

Very nice Italian restaurant. We tried the specialty pizzas and they were delicious. What is surprising is the short waiting time and the high quality standard that only Italians can achieve. Friendly, attentive and fast waiters. If you are traveling in Oldenburg, it is a must...

There were 3 of us eating at your place. The waiter offered us a free aperitif in advance, exact term in poorer German: Would you like a “free non-alcoholic aperitif while you wait?!” We do, it's nice. Finally, the nasty surprise that we had to pay €5.20 each. When we mentioned this, the waiter also portrayed us as blatant liars. There was no courtesy. Impossible. We should please pay these and Ciao. 👋🏻

We wanted to celebrate a 60th birthday in this restaurant and made a reservation a month in advance. When we arrived we were told that we would have to move after 8 p.m. if we wanted to stay longer. The entire atmosphere was unpleasant - The waiter was condescending and constantly told us off with rude comments. He even said "Know or believe?" when ordering, which was just disrespectful. As if that wasn't enough, the food was cleared away later, even though some of them hadn't even eaten yet. We felt extremely uncomfortable and will definitely not recommend this restaurant. Such behavior towards paying guests is simply unacceptable!

Very nice Iltan restaurant. Got a table spontaneously. Food was very tasty

Great value for money. Lovely ambiance. Homemade dishes are simply delicious. Service is friendly and prompt. I wanted to have my leftover pizza packed, but they unfortunately missed it. As compensation, I got a new pizza to take away. Thanks :)

So it's a shame for the city of Oldenburg, as such a beautiful restaurant unfortunately has poor service and the food was really plain and dry, the conditions weren't friendly at all. So unfortunately only 1 star.!!

Unfortunately, you've gotten worse over time. The pizzas are thinner and with fewer ingredients on them! However the prices have increased! If you order a pizza to eat in, of course it has to be served sliced! If you want to eat inside, Unfortunately you can't enjoy it. It's cool and drafty inside. Plus it's too tight inside. If you pay in cash you don't get a receipt. So if you want to enjoy your food, go somewhere else.

A real masterpiece of Italian cuisine! With my heart and soul I can say: the food at Mamma Mia is simply fantastic! Whether pizza, pasta or other dishes – everything tastes like a work of art. The open kitchen creates a special experience and the food always comes to the table quickly. The coffee in particular, whether espresso or cappuccino, is excellent – ​​people really understand it here! The staff is also incredibly friendly and attentive. A wonderful atmosphere awaits you inside with stylish paintings and elegant wine bottles, while outside you can enjoy the view of the lively Oldenburg market square. No matter where you sit, you'll always have a great time here. Definitely my favorite Italian restaurant in Oldenburg!

I can say with certainty that this restaurant is the best in Oldenburg. A wonderful restaurant with delicious Italian dishes, very tasty wines and friendly, helpful service - these are the features that make this restaurant number one. It was the perfect place for our meetings and pleasant dates. One of the most unforgettable experiences for me was meeting my brother again after 9 years in this restaurant - that moment will always have a special place in my heart. Since I no longer live in Oldenburg, I have to say that I really miss this restaurant. It will always be a special place for me.

I've been a guest at Ristorante Mamma Mia for years and don't know of any place that offers more authentic Italian cuisine. Yes, it's full, it's hectic, sometimes it's cramped - but that's exactly what it's all about. Anyone who comes here knows what to expect: passion, a real Italian atmosphere and, above all, incomparably good food. Of course, it can get loud in a full restaurant or there can be stressful moments in service - that's human nature. But this is exactly where my appeal comes in: every guest has the opportunity to express themselves directly on site, express wishes or clarify problems. Instead of venting frustration anonymously, a personal conversation would be much more valuable. Because in the end it's not just about good food, but also about mutual respect. Grazie mille to Fabio and the entire team – you are doing a fantastic job!

The food was OK. The service/employees there are sometimes super nice but sometimes also very unfriendly. I asked nicely if they could pack up the rest of the pizza - then they replied snidely, "Do you think we're going to throw it away or what?", turns around and leaves. The ambience is OK, but people sit very close together.

More like mass delivery, pizza is okay.

An institution in Oldenburg for decades. Consistently good to very good cuisine, quick service, extensive wine list. Interesting audience, good mix of flashy chics and local celebrities, bank advisors and punks who have seen better days. The somewhat cramped seating does not detract from the good atmosphere. It's a little quieter on the weather-protected terrace. We always feel welcome at Mamma Mia, even with children. Addendum: Confirmed word for word even after many further visits. Addendum: Permanently confirmed, last on 3/2/25.

This place doesn't really need a recommendation anymore, it's always buzzing anyway 😀 Delicious pizza and pasta.

The food was very tasty 😍 we also got a table quite spontaneously. The wine pinot gricio was also very good 🤗

A good, solid Italian. The service and drinks were very good. Food and ambience were good.

...thank you for your great service and the excellent food! Our grandchildren Anton and Emil were once again very excited, as were we! Your colleagues from Das TAFELHAUS from Gaststraße wish you continued success💪👍🍀💫🫶

Unfortunately it's not enough if the food is average. The staff is very unfriendly. We wanted to test today whether something had changed. Unfortunately not, we were first promised a table and then told it was reserved. You get 10 points for your unfriendly behavior.

Thank you very much for the lovely evening and the great food

Very cozy, very good food and the prices are okay too.

Was here last night. Perfect food.

A classic that would be hard to imagine Oldenburg without. In my opinion, table reservations are almost essential as there is always a lot going on. The food is always great, especially for friends of Italian food. A small deduction in the service note for the loud “talking over our heads”.

I WAS INVITED TO HAVE LUNCH THERE TODAY FOR A BIRTHDAY VERY DELICIOUS FOOD AND GREAT SERVICE VERY NICE COURTEOUS SERVICE UNFORTUNATELY A LITTLE TIGHT TO SIT IN THERE BUT OTHERWISE HIGHLY RECOMMENDED

As an Italian citizen, the pizza that was served to me was a downright disgrace! I'm used to pizza that's ten times better. In addition, this “pizza” was so digestive that I had intestinal cramps and diarrhea just ten minutes after leaving the restaurant!!! Actually the pizzeria should be called “Porcamiseria” ☝🏻😠

Small but nice. Delicious pizza and pasta.

We eat here very often and it is always really good. The food tastes very good, they are super quick with everything and you always get full. It's a little tight, but that gives us a special flair. Unfortunately it is always busy so you should reserve early, but otherwise it is a really nice restaurant.

Super friendly service and a large delicious pizza. 😋 The pizza was first class.

We just wanted to buy a voucher for €250, but they said no, the boss isn't there! Like right now ? You can't give us a voucher now?? Then they turned around and we were completely ignored!! We were then just left standing like that!!! What a disgrace!!!!! Now go to the other Italian restaurant, apparently they don't need it!!! Sad!!!!

Super delicious food, nice staff and even got a place at short notice. Top selection, we'd love to come back

I've never experienced this before: when you make a reservation you are insulted and turned away in an absolutely rude and unfriendly manner. As a guest, I don't have to accept this. Apparently hospitality is no longer important in this restaurant. We ate somewhere else and felt very welcome there.

Was in the restaurant today and I have to say the service was very unfriendly, our space was very small, the food was okay…

Warm atmosphere, smooth and friendly service and delicious food (pizza and homemade pasta with salmon and shrimp....

I've never experienced anything so disgusting! There was a bunch of hair in my mushroom pizza. You can imagine how I vomited when I saw that. Something like this shouldn't happen in a long-standing restaurant like this. I am extremely disgusted and would never eat there again and definitely wouldn't recommend it!!!!!!! 🤮

We've been here again for a long time and unfortunately found that the taste had deteriorated significantly. The tables are so close together that you can hardly sit properly. It wasn't so nice anymore. But maybe it was just a bad day.

Delicious food. Good pizza and pasta. Everything is also beautiful in the Christmas spirit. Recommended!

Rude, rude service...we wanted to have an aperitif but the attitude of the older waiter made sure that it was also the last...(among other things, horrible Spritz)..

Great place. A real Italian. Great food, service great. You feel good. I'd love to come back.

Incredibly good food, authentic like in Italy and very attentive and friendly staff

Rude, arrogant boss. Everything occupied. Apparently despite there being free places. Closed due to wealth. Rarely have I experienced such a bad, bad reception; for me, now 77 years old, it was the worst experience in the world.

Very nice staff, despite the restaurant being full, they still found a table for the four of us (although it was very, very tight for tall people) and the food was great. I had risotto with squid, which you rarely find in Italian restaurants in Germany, wonderful.

If I could give these waiters 0 stars it would be too much... I've never experienced anything like that... no question about whether it tastes good or whether we want drinks or dessert. Total ignorance when it comes to the calculation. Sorry for us not again

Spinach pizza is always great... otherwise huge pizzas - 3/4 of the pizza is cold if you go slowly and enjoy it - along with entertainment Very good service. I like being at Mamma Mia.

Super delicious food, even gluten-free pasta for me.

I ordered pork medallions and unfortunately only got small minute steaks, which was a shame for the price. The quantity wasn't really appropriate either. However, my companion's pizza was very good, as was the service.

Very tasty food and great staff!!

Hello Fabio, We would like to thank you from the bottom of our hearts! ❤️ The Sardinian culurgiones you prepared for us were simply fantastic – a true taste experience! With every bite you can feel how much love and skill goes into your dishes. Thank you for taking the time to give us this special joy. You are truly a master of your craft and we are so lucky to know you, your restaurant & your amazing team. 🍝🍷 Grazie mille! We are already looking forward to the next time! Best regards Claudia & family

Loved the experience of eating at Mamma Mia. It is authentically Italian, almost makes you feel like you're not in Oldenburg but some small Italian city's pizzeria. The pizza was nothing short of delicious and the ambience makes it perfect for going on a date or to eat with family. The only recommendation is to book in advance as the place can get very crowded on weekends and often you might have to wait for a table.

Really great restaurant, good selection, food very good, great cozy atmosphere, only the sometimes hectic nature of the service, which is usually due to the full seats. Always a top tip for eating out in Oldenburg

Good morning. We came with our medium-sized dog and were immediately given a table where she had enough space to lie down. Food was super tasty, enough to fill you up (no fancy portions), the waiters were super nice and very attentive. We would love to come back.

Charming staff, welcoming atmosphere, and great food! What more do you want? I especially enjoyed the authentic Italian style crust on the pizza. Highly recommended!

Everything was very good Many thanks to Daniele for the best service !!!😁

In my opinion one of, if not the, pizzeria in Oldenburg. Regardless of whether it's pizza or pasta, it's always good and quick. Unfortunately it can be a bit hectic at peak times because it's really full. But you actually always get a place. In summer you can sit outside well. Overall, the seating is a bit cramped, so not for a romantic candlelight dinner. But very fast service and very good food. In addition to the menu, there are many additional daily/weekly offers. Priced completely reasonable.

The best pizza I've eaten since I was in Italy. Quadruple cheese on which you can also taste that more than one type was used. Incredibly charming service! Despite the large number of customers and the late reservation on our part, I felt very comfortable. The pre-Christmas atmosphere was a bit much for my taste, but it hardly detracted from the whole experience. A very tasty wine rounded off the evening. All in all, very, very good.

Greetings from the Hänzis and friends from Cloppenburg. Went there spontaneously today, Saturday, November 9, 2024. Have been there several times in the last few weeks. Our waitress with the Ferrari glasses was the best man and everyone else in the service was simply top notch. We would like to thank you for the incredibly great food, thank you for the extra wishes that were fulfilled. Service was great despite the stress and full house. Was nice. See you again soon. Promised Here the service is simply with heart and mind. Thanks

Very good products, very attentive service, special requests are responded to very well, simply great. Special greetings go to the charming man with the Ferrari glasses 😉. We'll be back (not a threat, a promise)

I moved to Oldenburg in 2018 because of my studies and was recommended this restaurant by friends who had lived in Oldenburg for a long time. Since then it has been my absolute favorite store. My mother and my girlfriend are also completely thrilled. The food is incredibly tasty and beautifully presented. The staff is very attentive and accommodating. We absolutely cannot share some of the reviews in this regard, as we have had consistently positive experiences. The Italian origins of the staff add even more to the already beautiful ambience. The prices are more than fair for the quality you get here. We can really only recommend this restaurant.

Perfect choice if you are looking for a very classic Italian. Ambience and food very good, service first class. We'll be back!

We were 4 older people and were greeted at the entrance with a blockade...blockage. When we just wanted to eat large portions of ice cream and drink coffee, we were asked out. This pizzaria is NOT recommended!!! Service 0 stars!!! Very unfriendly staff!!!! Then she should take ice cream, cocoa and coffee off the menu!!!

We would like to drink coffee and eat ice cream today but the restaurant manager canceled us. And no apology, no goodbye, nothing(( That was very rude

Staff was extremely unfriendly, food was absolutely loveless. For a €9.50 plate of spaghetti and a large Sprite I had to pay €26 - I have no idea what the waiter came up with for that amount

Always a pleasure and a long time guest. Recently, however, there has been a waiter who has made it his personal mission to treat guests horribly (beard, Ferrari glasses). Everything from sexist comments to aggressive and abusive behavior. We were also able to watch him treat one of his colleagues just as disgustingly. The food is also getting worse and worse, the price is absolute nonsense, the antipasti taste like nothing. It's an incredible shame to see a traditional shop like this, which has always impressed with really great service and good cuisine, go to the dogs. After having to experience this one waiter 3 times now, I probably won't visit this store again. If I want to be treated like that, I'll go to jail!

Definitely a recommendation, I'd be happy to come back. The last star is criticism at a high level, we had a table for two in the middle of the room, the aisle on the left and right was too narrow, occasional touching of other guests was unavoidable, the knife didn't have enough saw to cut the pizza, it was more of a tear, that's great Pizza was so big, unfortunately the plate was a little too small for it. It's just small things, we'll be happy to come back, pizza was really good.

It is difficult to award a star for the following reasons: The taste of the food (Scaloppe Marsala and Pizza Inferno) is excellent, the meat is unfortunately cooked just past the perfect point, so it is not quite as tender as it should be, but that can definitely happen there was a lot going on. Therefore, a point deduction in the food category. The service was super fast - almost too fast, given the wide range of options on the menu you can't make a decision within nanoseconds - but the service was friendly, humorous and polite. Deserved 5 stars here The ambience is colorful with Italian flair. Unfortunately, the space was stretched to the limit of what was bearable, so less would be more, because not every guest may find it tolerable to see the waiter's worst over the menage at their own table or to come dangerously close to their own plate, because where actually the running route of the service staff was supposed to be, and two two-person tables had to be squeezed in. Therefore only 2 stars in this category. In conclusion, if the narrowness is removed, Mamma Mia certainly has what it takes to be an upscale Italian restaurant that shouldn't have to offer the un-Italian version of carbonara with cream! Thoroughly recommended and we will be back. (Re.No.1043 from 10/30/24, 3:01 p.m.)

The quality of the food was good. (Bruschetta tastes really great). We weren't that impressed with the carbonara. The service was great, but you felt cramped because of the very narrow tables.

Staff is very unfriendly. We ordered a sweet wine and got it really dry. When we order food, they don't want to offer us anything other than pizza and pasta because the other one takes too long. There was a hair in the food. Next time we would eat somewhere else.

Very busy, very good staff and very good food 👌

The best pizza around. Great service and all at affordable prices.

Always delicious pizzas, unfortunately the price has risen significantly

unfriendly waiter, very loud, mass processing, tables too small and close together. Food ok.

I'm delighted with the atmosphere🥰 You find yourself in little Italy. Italian language, large selection on the menu, 🍷 the wine is divine❤️ Top notch service🤌 I ordered pasta with seafood - very 😋

Delicious pizzas and great bruschetta in advance! We'll definitely be back!

For us one of the best owner-managed Italian restaurants in Oldenburg. Our recommendation are the Sardinian ravioli, called culurgiones - filled with potatoes, mint, fresh tomatoes and Pecorino cheese. Class!

So, we wanted to eat something there this afternoon and they wanted to give us a small table that wouldn't even fit two pizza plates. We should be pushed into the smallest corner, where we almost sit on each other's laps. I'm really disappointed. We have been there many times, but have never been treated so badly. There were enough tables available, but no one took up the issue. Really sad. We otherwise drove an extra 60 km to eat delicious pizza and pasta. And that several times a year. But you don't treat anyone like that. Too bad.

NEVER AGAIN MAMMA MIA!!!!! I haven't experienced such unfriendly, brazen and disrespectful staff in a long time. And unfortunately this is not an isolated case. All simply unsympathetic. They brazenly lie to your face and assign seats in the back corner so that the people who (in their eyes) look like money sit at the front of the window or entrance. It's pure mass production. It's a shame because the food tastes good. But here you definitely can't eat in a relaxed and nice atmosphere. It was definitely the last time for us!!!!

Very loud staff who shout at each other, not in German. My partner ordered a pizza 🍕 which took a very long time to be brought to the table, and we noticed that there was no topping or pizza base in the middle. A waiter who was called to the table was made aware of this and immediately brushed it off, saying it would be normal for a large pizza 🍕 but when we insisted that it should be exchanged, he refused and only started discussing it with us when a colleague came over came << was probably the owner >> and asked what was going on, he was told the reason, he took the plate with him, made noise to his colleague and disappeared with the plate and 10 minutes later brought a new one and apologized. On the whole, the food tasted good but unfortunately it was very loud and hectic and the food got stuck in your throat.

After many years, I finally decided to stop by this pizzeria. The bruschetta was quite chaotically topped, but quite generously topped. The pizza -- vegetarian with artichokes and cheese -- tasted okay, but the dough was quite soft and limp in the middle. Maybe the pizza could have stayed in a moment longer. The service from the waiters was good, although a bit chaotic at times.

Today we went to Mamma Mia with our group of girls. It was very tasty, everything was freshly prepared. The service was attentive and friendly. We'll be back!

Very tasty, friendly, fast Price-performance very good.

The waiter was outrageously unfriendly, the tables were so close together that there was hardly any privacy. We decided on a fish platter for 2 people, the fish was hard and dry, no question as to how it tasted. The tiramisu afterwards tasted like the cream was bad. We won't be coming back.

Der Fisch war trocken und zäh, die Bedienung aggressiv und unverschämt, ungemütlich da Tische viel zu klein und dicht aneinander

100% Italian place you feel at home, both with friends and family and always recommended for those who want to spend a nice day in the splendid city of Oldenburg Best regards Paskal & Mirko

Unfortunately 0 stars are not possible! Terribly unfriendly staff! I don't understand why this restaurant has such good reviews. The food may be very good, but that's not everything these days - I can make my pizza or pasta at home with high-quality ingredients, without an unfriendly and bad-tempered waiter barking at me from the side. The story: I wanted to purchase a voucher at 11:10 a.m., according to Googlemaps the restaurant opens at 11:00 a.m. The waiter muttered something about "Too early!" and that the colleague who could issue the voucher was not there yet. Good. When I asked when he would come, he grumpily replied that he didn't know, at 12 p.m. or something like that. And they're not open yet. I then said that Google Maps said 11 a.m. and that perhaps we should change that. He shrugged and sent me out. In the end I made it clear to him that I would definitely not buy a voucher - ever - in this restaurant. He mumbled something to me in his local language, which unfortunately I didn't understand. Incompetent, unfriendly and anything but customer oriented. Well, not then.

If the less impaired segniore shouts at you sincerely and honestly about your opinion: "EVERYTHING IS ORDENUNGE?" Please be so honest and deny it if your pizza, which was half-baked on corn semolina, was just as dripping with fat as mine, so that you could have easily squeezed a coffee cup of trans fats out of the miserable piece of baked goods. Fat is not always a flavor carrier, and far too much is just disgusting and wrong and has nothing to do with Italy. Point.

Very unfriendly waiter, you are not treated like a customer. The waiter was immediately pissed off because you didn't immediately know what you wanted to drink. You wanted to order something and the waiter answered immediately after 5 seconds. Well then not. The second time he tried to order something, he turned around and left. We just paid for the drink and wanted to speak to the owner, the waiter said he wasn't there. We tried to talk to the waiter but he just bitched at us. We've become very uncomfortable in this way and won't go there anymore. I have no idea what the food tastes like.

Ate there last night, luckily we reserved it! Service quick and friendly. Pizza and pasta came quickly and hot. Everything was great in terms of taste and portion size. Gladly again!!!
