 The
atmosphere at Mama Santa's is a good, old-fashioned pizza place. Don't expect
anything fancy when coming here, but you can expect some of the best Italian
food around. We came here because it was in the heart of Cleveland's Little
Italy which everyone raves about. When I was researching places for dinner
I was looking for places there were affordable, but where I could also experience
some culture. We took the kids and planned on ordering pizza. We didn't
want any of the appetizers on the list so I asked the waitress to recommend
a pasta which we could eat with our pizza. She recommended the cavatelli.
She brought it to our table before the pizza and we all tasted some. The
pasta is made fresh and is served with a spicy sauce. I wanted to order
more pasta and let the others eat my share of the pizza, but we wanted to
get back to the hotel so the kids could swim. We asked the waitress to make
our pizza order to go and we got that about fifteen minutes later. When
we finally ate the pizza it was a bit cold, but it was still good. They
sliced the pizza pieces in large triangles. I prefer my pizza sliced in
squares, but that's the only complaint I had. It was under $24.00 for one
large, three-topping pizza, an order of cavatelli and a Rolling Rock. I
definitely recommend the pasta over the pizza. |
