| - Mama Mia has been around for a while and at this location for a couple years. It's located across the street from Upper Canada Mall in an outdoor plaza. It's not overly appealing from the exterior, but once inside it has a welcoming and clean decor and a somewhat authentic Italian feel.
The food has potential, BUT CUT BACK ON THE SALT! The sauces have the necessary spices, so why drown it in salt?
Being the brave soul I am, I ordered the snail appetizer. It's clear this is not fresh, which they are aware of, since they put it on toast and drowned it in tomato sauce.
Mussel appetizer, also not fresh, but this one you can't freeze. Had that slightly bad smell. Not enough to stop me eating them, but enough that I would not order again. It became clear at this point that every dish included the exact same tomato sauce, which is way to thick to the point of being tomato paste.
Lastly was the veal chop with peppercorn sauce. Medium rare done right, but a little fatty. I would recommend it though. I paid extra to get penne al vodka as the side. This could have been good if they removed the salt.
