We had heard about Mama Mia from various people and decided to try it out. Husband ordered the Gorgonzola Chicken.
I ordered the veal picatta (delicious). The first course out was some warm bread with seasoned butter. Yum. Then they brought out the best soup, freshly cooked vegetables, pasta tasted wonderful. We both decided that we did not care for the purple cabbage, it was cooked with a slightly sweet sauce and nutmeg. The penne pasta and red sauce was okay except the red sauce was sweet and had a little too much red pepper flake.
Dessert was cannoli, fresh made and chocolate cheese cake on a berry mixture, both rich and delicious.
The service was excellent as we arrived right as they opened at 4 pm, we had the place to ourselves until almost 5 pm. If the lady wearing the heavy perfume had come in any earlier we would have left. Gas mask, please...
We may go back, but I heard about another Italian place called Porto who are open for lunch and dinner, sounds good.
Also, the portions were generous, we both had take home boxes. Over all, the Gorgonzola sauce at Bennetti's is a shade smoother, I like the view out the window and if you can't get a view, downstairs has a terrific aquarium with some very fierce fish. Ciao Bella!!

Sounds very nice. The Rotkohl (brassica rubra) comes in various colours, variations of red/lila that is, a typical winter vegetable. An interesting combination.

I think it was actually radichio )spelling) but still the wait person did not recommend taking it home as it does not reheat gracefully was the saying.
