I am new to the area and so I looked up some restaurants in a Charlotte guide book. Saw the review on Mama Ricotta's and had to give it a try. To start, we had the tomato and mozzarella appetizer. WOW! Simple dish but absolutely amazing. Not sure what made it taste so fantastic but it might have been the olive oil that it was sitting in. Then, my mom and I split the family style dish "Pollo Bianco". Again, this meal was very good. 5 chicken breasts smothered in a delicious sauce and mushrooms. We got the garlic mashed potatoes as a side. Yum! I, also, ordered Mama's Mojito which is a bit pricey but delicious, nonetheless. I would definitely go back. And since they serve family style, I think this place would be great for big groups. The family portions are reasonably priced.
