| - After writing our medical student inauguration oaths this morning, a few m1s, my wife, and I decided to eat lunch in little Italy. Dressed up in nice clothes and beginning to sweat in the Cleveland humidity, we decided to look for the closest place that was open. After striking out at the first two places, we found mama Santa's which was open already at roughly 11:30. Some thing I can't say about many other places in little Italy.
We got seated fairly quickly and were given a menu with plenty of goodies.
I ordered their lasagna and my wife had their house special spaghetti and sausage.
Lasagna was good, not too cheesy, and not too noodle-y. Perfect ratio.
From what I had of my wife's, it was tasty with good flavors. The sausage was a bit tough but I liked it. I got to eat 80% of it cuz my wife doesn't like tough meats. It had a nice crust. The noodles looked and tasted like hand cut noodles more frequently found in Chinese restaurants. They were tasty, but not really anything I expected in spaghetti.
The only other thing is that they didn't have huge portions for the prices.
Last few comments. Waitress was nice and they asked if we wanted split checks from the beginning which was awesome. Water came out quickly and was refilled often.
As we were leaving we noticed it getting really full. Must've been a good choice I guess? Or at least a local favorite.
tl;dr: good food, good service, decent portions, nice location/hours, plenty of choices!
