The food was tasty. The gnocchi with pesto were very delicious! The chicken parmigian was excellent, and the kids menu spaghetti and meatball was amazing. I had the meat lovers pizza, it was yummy but honestly not very authentic Italian it had a lot of sauce and cheese. We absolutely loved it all. Definitely would return!!

Amazing banquet experience!!! So affordable! I planned a baby shower here from a different state. I worked with closely with Connie and answered numerous questions I had. They worked with me through changes in Party number a few times. They provided the table and chairs which can be a huge expense when planning an event. It’s a beautiful spacious venue serving food buffet style. Plenty of parking. Food was delicious and all the guests were satisfied. Gloria was working with me that day. She got the drink station and the banquet tables set up, and even cut our cake. She is amazing. Thank you Mama Cozza’s! I’m definitely coming back. Please consider this local family-owned restaurant for banquet events!

This place is so cute, almost sort of homey. The staff was nice from the greeting at the door to everyone we encountered throughout. The food was delicious, fresh, and perfectly portioned. Our waitress was so nice and attentive. We kept seeing pizzas pass our table, so our next item to try is one of those. We will definitely be returning.

The staff at Mama Cozza's was phenomenal and they went above and beyond to make my mother-in-law's birthday a memorable one. The portions were huge (no complaints), the bar staff did a great job on the cocktails, and the servers were very kind and patient with our party; we had several little ones with us that had a hard time sitting still. This staff is dedicated to giving the best experience possible and I hope they know that people recognize the hard work they put in.

The staff is very friendly and accommodating. All of the food was delicious . Their pizza goes in my top 10. The fried jalapeno ravioli is great!. The garlic cheesy bread is also great! My daughter loved the Fettuccine Alfredo with mushrooms and my daughter is hard to please when it comes to pasta and pasta sauces. I look forward to returning here soon.

We have been coming here since I was a kid. Always have enjoyed their pizza. This was the first time I've been there when they had live music and the musicians were excellent and a lot of fun.

Our recent visit proved to be an exceptional experience. Initially rerouted due to traffic, we decided to explore this establishment, and the decision was highly rewarding. Kari provided impeccable service, enhancing the overall dining experience. The chef salad was particularly noteworthy, with the cherry peppers and pepperoncini adding a delightful zest. The lasagna was equally impressive. We highly recommend this location and suggest requesting Kari for a memorable visit; we anticipate your return.
