MAMA'S PIZZERIA REVIEWS

This restaurant is fantastic!!! Had the Fettuccine Alfredo Flourintine (spinach & mushrooms) and peperoni with jalapeño and basil. Delicious!! House salad was fresh.

1st time here. Good food and portion size. Good service, our server was Nathan and he was awesome. Did a good job putting up with us. They even had friendly cats outside. still kinda new to the valley so like when we find a good, new place.

First time here, and we had a good dining experience. Things would have been better without the screaming toddler next to us. The food was good, and we will definitely be back.

IL FORNO A LEGNA REVIEWS

Had an amazing experience at Il Forno a Legna! The service was excellent, and the food was just as great. Our bartender, Johnny, was the highlight of the night so nice, sweet, and incredibly outgoing. He was very talkative, funny, and made us feel so welcome. He also crafted some of the best drinks, including a delicious cucumber beverage and passion fruit strawberry mix that was perfectly sweet. It made for a fantastic Valentine’s Day! Highly recommend this place, and if you’re at the bar, definitely ask for Johnny.

The restaurant worked very quickly to put together a nice table last minute for our special birthday celebration. We really appreciated the effort. The food was excellent. The waiter was new and needed to polish up his response time but overall we had a wonderful evening. Thank you for helping make my friend's birthday special.

The pizza is amazing! The atmosphere is great and the staff is super friendly and welcoming. Desserts are great too! We had a really good time and it’s now a favorite spot in McAllen.
