Again, Mama's did not disappoint. From the moment we were graciously greeted despite being 15 minutes late (did not account for rush hour traffic), to our awesome server, Dakota, and the atmosphere on the heated porch, everything exceeded expectations. But, the food, was definitely the star of the evening. Started off with the bread service followed by Eggplant parmesan, pesto gnocchi with sides of fingerling potatoes and broccolini. I will be craving everything until I return again. Thank you Mama's for not compromising quality at an affordable price!!

Always enjoy the food and the restaurant vibes! Friendly and quick service with great prices

Michael and Alexia were exceptional. They were very attentive while also being mindful of our conversation. We never feel rushed when visiting but felt especially comfortable around the bar area last night. As always, our food was stellar. We’ll be back again soon!

When it comes to fine Italian dining, Sotto sets a gold standard with its artful execution of classic dishes and an inviting atmosphere that feels both upscale and intimate. Their small plates menu, designed for sharing and savoring, offers a journey through the very best of Italian cuisine. The lunch began with their take on Cacio e Pepe. Simple in theory, yet incredibly complex in flavor, this dish showcased perfectly al dente pasta coated in a glossy sauce of Pecorino Romano and freshly cracked black pepper. Every bite was rich, creamy, and perfectly balanced, capturing the soul of Roman cooking. Next came the pork loin, a true standout of the evening. Cooked to tender perfection, the meat was juicy and flavorful, paired with lemon butter sauce and capers that highlighted the natural richness of the pork. The subtle smoky undertones and crispy exterior added depth, making it a dish to savor slowly. The Bombologti (rigatoni with pancetta) was another highlight, offering a delightful combination of textures and bold, smoky flavors. The perfectly cooked rigatoni absorbed a light, silky tomato-based sauce, while the pancetta added a savory, crispy bite to each forkful. It was a dish that felt both indulgent and comforting, a perfect balance of rustic charm and refined technique. What tied the meal together was a glass of Barbera d’Alba, The wine’s bright acidity and red fruit notes complemented the richness of the pancetta and pork loin beautifully, while its smooth tannins enhanced the creaminess of the Cacio e Pepe. It was a pairing that elevated the experience to new heights, showcasing Sotto’s attention to detail in both its menu and wine selection. The portions of each dish were ideal for sharing, allowing us to indulge in a variety of flavors without feeling overwhelmed. The service was warm and attentive, enhancing the dining experience

We have been going to The Precinct since 1988, never disappoints! First time seating in the Bar area, very nice. Excellent food and Shasta & Sophia provided excellent service!
