    Good pizza (considering the availability of ingredients), I've certainly had better, but that wasn't i a developing African country. This places has excellent ice cream, which you can also find all over Zanzibar. The place has amazing views during afternoons and sunsets. Staff are very polite and friendly.

    Hi! I am so thankful that mama mia is available on nungwi beach. The food and service are top restaurant quality, not some tourist restaurant that you get disappointed with. The pizzas are amazing from the brick oven, gelatos are authentic italian gelatos that taste even better than venchi. Panna cotta is velvety soft with just the right setting. The daytime view and sunset view from the restaurant is amazing and the food is truly underpriced for the quality, service and the experience with the view. We came here to eat 3 meals straight and we wish we had the same place back home. Amazing! See you next year.

    Location and views are good with friendly service. I only had some icecream but that is worth a visit. The best in all of Zanzibar! The food looked good, but I had not a chance to try it, but I will make a plan to do so in the future

    Food was ok, only ice cream I'd recommend is the peanut butter flavour. Milkshake could definitely be improved. The view is fantastic. The bathrooms are clean which you will understand is a bonus on the beach.

    A perfect Italian restaurant located at the heart of Nungwi beach with an amazing seaside view. The ambiance is beautifully set and the mood in jolly. The staff is polite and friendly as well. The pizza is a must try as it gives you an authentic Italian taste. Also has a wide variety of hot and soft drinks. Accepts cash and card in TZS as well as USD. Prices are reasonable as well. Overall a very good experience.

    Not too impressed by the pizzas here. They were okay, but definitely the napoletana was too basic, I would not recommend it 😆 I also tried the lasagna, and to my surprise it did not taste very good; it was too dry with no bechamel sauce, and no muscade which I think are must ingredients in lasagna. Overall, this restaurant is quite average. I had better food in the near by restaurant Baraka, there you get bigger portions, fresher food and lower prices. PS: Tiramusu was very good though. The view is definitely nicer here compared to Baraka.

    We had dinner here twice. A nice Italian restaurant in Nungwi next to the beach with tables overlooking the ocean. The pasta and the pizzas were really good. The service was very fast also. Highly recommended if you had enough local cuisine.

    (Translated by Google) Excellent penne with octopus, good pizza and good ice cream too. Highly recommended !! (Original) Ottime penne al polpo, pizza buona e buono anche il gelato. Consigliatissimo!!

  • 5/5 Ada W. 2 years ago on Google
    Surprised there aren't more ice cream spots around Nungwi, but this is a great place for icecream - we had 3 scoops (mango, passion fruit and lime) in a cup for US$5. From the beach you'll need to walk past the bar and head towards the back to get to the icecream bar. We enjoyed the icecream at a table and watched the sunset.

  • 2/5 Joni H. 2 years ago on Google
    Chicken wings were well cooked which was a surprise for me but they were propably from yesterday. Very dry and the sauce provided was way too spicy for me. The view to the beach is amazing and the staff is friendly.

    Worst Pizza in Zanzibar. We had Pizza in 5 different italian Restaurants spread all over the island. Sad, because the owner is actually italian. He should know better. Nice location though.

  • 5/5 Sabrina G. 2 years ago on Google
    Best restaurant in Nungwi beach. Excellent service and super delicious food, especially authentic Italian. Eggplant Parmigiana was the best! Take-away was possible too.

  • 4/5 Walaa S. 1 year ago on Google
    The restaurant vibe and setting is very nice. The view of the beach from the restaurant is everything. In regards to the food, the pizza is good and the dough is exceptional. I definitely recommend going there. The ice creams are delicious and alot of varieties.

  • 4/5 Malik H. 1 year ago on Google
    As Baraka, the restaurant proposes good food, we tried a pizza because it should be an Italian restaurant, it was good. They also have sea food. In my opinion, they have a better beach sight then Baraka.

  • 5/5 Gina 1 year ago on Google
    My husband and I love this place. We found it our last 2 days in Nungwi and ate there for dinner, then lunch and dinner the next day. I had lobster both days, which were amazing. My husband had a pizza and 2 different pasta dinners! All were great food with a nice atmosphere. Best drinks in Zanzibar! Huge shout out to our bartender who was fun to chat with in addition to being a great bartender. Dining room overlooks the beach to boot!

  • 5/5 Dušan M. 1 year ago on Google
    We came as 4 people. Food was a real delikates. One of the best i ever eaten. Had their most expensive soup and it was like a best massage for my tongue and stomach. Same goes for the other food we had. Whole place was nice and comfortable. View at the sea was not that great because of a low tide and a mess on the beach. Surroundings around restaurant was also mostly mess and dirt but i side the restaurant was everything clean and perfect. Girls i mean waiters were nice but waiting almost one hour for meal for 4 people wasnt that great. But as often people hear for good things its worth waiting this was really worth even the 130eur bill. Would reccomemd anyone to try. Definitely. And feel free to start with their most expensive soup.

    We went to this place first for ice cream late in the day (just delicious 😋) and after for our last lunch before traveling back... we had amazing pizzas, South Africa wine and delicious desserts!!! Not only the food is delicious as the view over the beach gives the perfect environment for a good meal. Staff super friendly as the owner too!!! Would recommend and go there on my next visit for sure!!!

    Authentic Italian pizza 🍕❤️ Food and atmosphere are amazing. Service was good and we got our food fairly quick. To top things off, we had gelato which was great.👌🏽

  • 4/5 Kabita B. 3 months ago on Google New
    My Grilled Calamari was ok. It's wasn't special. Grilled Kingfish was soft, but there was no taste. However, the pizza was good. Obviously, this is an Italian restaurant. The atmosphere is nice. It's good for some drinks, glasses of refreshing wine, and watching the sea. Tiramisu was delicious.

    I'm glad that I was able to enjoy the Italian cuisine at Mama Mia restaurant in Nungwi! The delectable flavors and inviting atmosphere make it a delightful dining experience. The attention to detail in their dishes truly sets them apart. Highly recommended for those seeking a taste of Italy in Nungwi!

  • 4/5 Lenka B. 3 months ago on Google New
    Mama Mia is a nice place, the service could work better upon arrival, otherwise they manage huge crowds during the lunch time very well, wifi did not work very well. Espresso was great, my pasta with octopus contained only very little octopus that didnt feel fresh, so I was a bit dissapointed by the taste. My second try was baked chicken that become my favourite lunch option while staying in Nungwi, so I returned multiple times. I did not like the very loud music neither the local live guitar music that you have to listen in most sea front restaurants.

    (Translated by Google) A good place ... for those who miss our dear dishes for example pizza the cuisine is good, the service is good, the prices are reasonable, but all this is certainly by the standards of Zanzibar. I recommend ... one of the best options, whoever was here will understand 🤣 (Original) Хорошее место...для тех кто соскучился по милым нашему сердцу блюдам😁например пицце😍😁 кухня хорошая, сервис норм, цены приемлемые но всё это конечно по меркам Занзибара. Рекомендую...одно из лучших вариантов , кто тут был тот поймёт 🤣

    (Translated by Google) We counted two dishes, one of the lobster, which we did not order. The impression is not an accident, but a pattern. Citizens, be vigilant.

  • 5/5 Alexander M. 3 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) Great Italian place. The espresso is the best on Nungwi beach. I probably won't be mistaken if I write the same thing about ice cream. It is better to reserve a table for the evening. But you may not find a free table during the day. (Original) Отличное итальянское место. Эспрессо лучший на пляже Нунгви. Наверное, не ошибусь, если напишу то же самое про мороженое. На вечер лучше резервировать стол. Но можно и днём свободного столика не найти.

  • 4/5 Александр �. 3 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) Delicious ice cream, however, to enjoy it you don't have to go to a restaurant. There is payment by card, which is nice. Great sea view, especially the sunset. The food came with sand, but we'll survive it somehow. (Original) Вкуснейшее мороженое, правда, чтоб им насладиться не обязательно идти в ресторан. Есть оплата картой, что приятно. Отличный вид на море, особенно хорош закат. Еда досталась с песком, но это как-нибудь переживем.

  • 2/5 Alina A. 3 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) Ate seafood pizza, chicken soup and ice cream. Pizza - a tough sole covered with tomato paste with crumbs of something dry, like an octopus. Not tasty and very little seafood, for 900 rubles. The chicken soup is very odd - a tasteless vegetable broth made from zucchini and carrots, and a separately cooked tough, dry chicken breast is cut into it. This despite the fact that the owners are Italians ((( She gave two stars only for delicious ice cream. (Original) Ела пиццу с морепродуктами, куриный суп и мороженое. Пица - жёсткая подошва намазанная томатной пастой с крошками чего-то сухого, типа осьминога. Не вкусно и морепродуктов совсем мало, за 900 р. Куриный суп очень странный - безвкусный овощной бульон из цукини и морковки, и в него порезана отдельно сваренная жёсткая, сухая куриная грудка. Это при том, что хозяева итальянцы((( Две звезды дала только за вкусное мороженое.

  • 4/5 Татьяна �. 3 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) Very nice views, located on the beach. Food for 3+. Ordered pizza diablo, for firm 4 and grilled tuna. Tuna for 3 ... Serving tuna with potatoes, not even a single vegetable ... The fresh juices are good, they took pineapple and mango. Fresh for 5. (Original) Очень красивые виды, расположен на пляже. Еда на 3+. Заказывали пиццу диабло, на твёрдую 4 и тунец на гриле. Тунец на 3... Подача тунца с картохой, даже ни одной овощинки не положили... Фреши хорошие, брали ананасовый и манго. Фреши на 5.

    (Translated by Google) The beachfront was with beautiful ocean views. A mix of seafood and Italian cuisine. There is delicious Italian ice cream. The coffee is so-so, I would like it like in Italy. The cafe is run by Italians. The waiters are slow, like everyone else in Zanzibar, hakuna matata))) In the evening, tables by the sea. (Original) Пляжный было с красивыми видами на океан. Микс морской и итальянской кухни. Есть вкусное итальянское мороженое. Кофе так себе,хотелось бы как в Италии. Кафе держат итальянцы. Официанты медлительны,как и все на Занзибаре,акуна матата))) Вечером столики у моря.

  • 5/5 Олег �. 3 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) Everything is delicious, the waiters are very polite, the sea view, active fans and free wifi are bonuses. Ordered here for two 400 g of lobster, grilled octopus, seafood soup, 2 juices and one serving of ice cream. Paid 85 thousand shillings (with tips) or 38 US dollars, including a 10% discount on our hotel. I probably liked the soup the most, although it is the cheapest, but it has a very generous and rich composition. Fried potatoes are added to the lobster and octopus, also in large portions. Lobster is a bit dry, but this is to be expected, as it was grilled. In general, everything was quite tasty, ice cream according to the Italian recipe, worth a try too. We recommend this place to visit (Original) Все смачно, офіціанти дуже чемні, краєвид на море, акттвні вентилятори і безкоштовний вайфай є бонусами. Замовляли тут на двох 400 г лобстера, восьминога на грилі, суп з морепродуктами, 2 соки і одну порцію морозива. Заплатили 85 тис шилінгів (з чайовими) або 38 доларів США, ураховуючи знижку 10% від нашого готелю. Найбільше сподобався мабуть суп, хоч він і найдешевший, та має досить щедрий і насичений склад. До лобстера і восьминога додається смажена картопля, теж великі порції. Лобстер трохи сухий, але це очікувано, адже готували на грилі. Загалом усе було досить смачно, морозиво за італійською рецептурою, варто скуштувати теж. Радимо це місце для відвідування
