“Mama Mia’s is a gem of a restaurant. Although it is located close to the shore 26 miles from where we live, it is worth traveling to the whole year through. The food at Mama Mia’s is consistently delicious and the chef’s specials are always fabulous and creative. My favorite dish is the rack of lamb. And -- hands down -- Joe Massaglia’s Tira Misu is the best, perhaps in the world!”
-- Customers, Jo Ann and Joe of Millville, New Jersey
“Mama Mia’s offers the best food for the best price in all of South New Jersey. The owner is a great guy. He greets all of his customers with a smile and a handshake.”
-- Customer, Frank Seidel of Margate
“Joe Massaglia is one of many casino chefs who left the nest and who actually has succeeded beyond the 10-year point
His food benefits from his energy. His menu is never boring. Joe takes the gutsy step of educating the marketplace, an approach that can be dangerous with people of lesser talents. He tries out unusual combinations of cuisines and ingredients, resulting in textures and flavors that convince people to other items they might not normally try.
Joe makes customers out of first timers and word-of-mouth advertisers out of everyone.
One of the reasons Joe is so successful is his brown sauce, the common ingredient in many of his entrees and appetizers. This is the authentic mother sauce known as Espanol. It’s the basic reason - pun intended - why his food tastes so good.”
-- Ed Hitzel, former food critic for 16 years of The Press of Atlantic City, publisher of Ed Hitzel’s Restaurant Newsletter and host of “Table For One” food & dining radio show.
“Mama Mia’s” has wonderful food. I make it a point to go there every two weeks.”
-- Monty Dahm, Owner of the Tun Tavern in Atlantic City, NJ
