Little Mama’s is the place you come with friends, family, coworkers—anyone you care about. We feature heart warming foods inspired by classic Italian-American recipes. If you’ve never had a meal with us, try the fresh mozz bar and some scratch made pastas. A full bar, sun room and dining room give you a variety of spaces to enjoy yourself and have a leisurely time with a cold beverage and some food like your grandmother used to make. Inspired by the 1960s and 70s Italian restaurants of his youth, Frank Scibelli opened Little Mama’s in 2020 as a sister concept to Mama Ricotta’s, a Midtown fixture since 1992 known for its pizzas and comfort classics. A second location was opened in Rea Farms in 2024 and in Cornelius in 2026.

Invariably the dining experience is perfect on all fronts. It really goes without saying the appetizers and meals are all fantastic. Only issues is deciding what to order. Management has the restaurant staff functioning very smoothly, and not surprising, Diane, our server, met every high standard asked of her. Cannot wait to visit Fin & Fino again soon.
