This is such a solid spot!!! If you can't get a reservation at their other locations don't worry this is so so amazing! I got the San marzano pasta and my mom got the truffle pasta and they were both so good and such a big portion! The service was so sweet and we didn't wait long for drinks or food! Please go here if you get the chance! The service won me over completely
Sat at the bar for a solo lunch in this hip, cute spot by the Big Mamma Group. The menus are similar across the restaurant group but not all of them have the cacio e pepe, so that's what I went for. And it did not disappoint! The salty cheese with a hit of strong but not too strong pepper. Perfectly well cooked. Absolutely inhaled the entire thing and was still functional afterwards. Prefer this to the super popular Pink Mamma, can't wait to come back and try more of the menu - especially the truffle pasta made fresh in a cheese wheel tableside. That looks incredible!
This place was very close to our first Airbnb spot and we looked at the reviews and decided we should come here and eat it for dinner. There was a line when we came here but the wait was not bad. The service was fun and light-hearted which I did enjoy. We decided to try a few dishes which were an appetizer, pizza, and a pasta. They give you a side of bread which was tasty and all the dishes that we did order was amazing. I overall would bet that anything you order from here is good! This place was packed and the plates are super cute. Loved it and would come back again to try more!
It was pretty amazing that they could accommodate 10 of us immediately! We expected a longer wait but they were able to sit all of us right when we asked. The staff was friendly and spoke English and Spanish as well, and gave us great recommendations when we tried to make alternate food choices or additions. The restaurant itself was cute, and the layout and decor was really inviting too. The food was good too! I ordered the Some Like It Hot Pizza and tried a couple others like the Regina Instagram and the Margherita and they were all good. Though one of us had half-hot-half-cold pasta. They also gave us a salad and bread and those were also pretty solid for appetizers :)
I'm back! It was great like it always is. Make a reservation; we didn't and had to wait 30 min to eat at the bar. They offered us a table with the wait time being an hour and a half away. Bar seating was accepted and we had 4 cheese pizza an octopus dish and a beeftels. The bill would have been a little less if I had not ordered two drinks! Great food great atmosphere good service. We skipped the desserts this time but next time we will make sure to save room.
Came by for dinner the other night and it was a tasty experience. Made a reservation online 3 weeks prior to dining and my counter space was available upon arrival. When the restaurant opened at 6:45 pm, there were 2 lines, one with reservations and the other for walk-ins. The restaurant was packed at opening! Started off with the burrata and it was tasty. Super fresh and over a small bed of tomatoes and olive oil! Moved on to the truffle pasta and it was quite fragrant. It was also amazingly affordable at 18 Euros! The truffle pasta was also quite creamy. The restaurant claims that the pasta is made fresh daily. Ended the meal off with the tiramisu and it was excellent. Super fragrant, not too sweet, and super flavorful! Waitstaff was super accommodating, taking orders and organizing the queue from their mobile. The menu was available via the QR code at the counter and payment was also possible from the QR code, for a quick exit! The entire staff front and back of the house seemed to be Gen Z and I heard quite a bit of Italian speaking amongst the staff! The toilet is located in the basement, down the windy stairs! ~40 Euros for dinner after adding on 10% tip for "Amazing" service and 1 Euro for some donation to some charity that was automatically added to the bill with the ability to remove.
After being turned away for not having a reservation the day before we were happily greeted the next day by name (we were able to find a dinner reservation online). We were looking forward to this meal blowing our minds since East Mamma seemed so popular and hard to get into but we were sadly extremely underwhelmed. Positives: Cool looking restaurant with plenty of tables. Hostess and servers were all very kind. The bathroom looked cool. Negatives: The food! It all looks better than it taste. The bread was basic, I've had better from a grocery store. The lasagna we make at home taste better with store bought sauce. The burrata was flavorless and a waste of an appetizer. The pasta with mushroom dish needed something like a cream sauce. It wasn't horrible but it was easily the worst meal we had in Europe. All we could say was "at least we're not hungry anymore".
East Mamma is part of the tremendously popular Big Mamma chain- we had previously tried OberMamma and liked it, so it was a no brained to snag a reservation here. Definitely reserve! It's very popular and you'll be waiting a long time if you don't. We started with cacio é pepe arancini which delivered on the flavor in a big way. Definite recommend on these as a starter. My main was tortellini in brodo which netted me a large bowl of chicken vegetable soup stuffed with plump, meat filled dumplings. Perfect comfort food for a chilly night, and absoutke delicious. Being a glutton, I opted for a tirimisu and it was lovely - not too sweet. Super fun atmosphere, great food, great date night spot - thumbs up for East Mamma.
Wow! We did not plan on eating Italian food in Paris, but we walked by and saw all of the delicious food on everyone's plates. We made a reservation that night and were able to get in the same evening be it late. We ordered the truffle pasta which was amazing and I highly recommend, as well as two pizzas. The margarita pizza was very good as well. Service was solid and everything came out in a timely fashion. This is a large restaurant that goes much further back then imagined, with attention to detail at every corner for design so the place is visually very stimulating. That being said, it is very popular and it is loud, so if you're looking for a quiet evening, this is not your place! But if you're looking for great food that is memorable, sign right up because it was one of the best meals we had in Paris!
Place gets packed at lunch but we're lucky to get seated. Tried a couple of their pastas. The truffle pasta was very delicious, the other one we tried the veal ragu was very basic tasting and would not get again. The burrata was a nice appetizer as well. Overall good food but nothing exceptional.
Book in advance or get there early! Greeted with the excitement of the staff, East Mama was a memorable moment for my family and I. As it was my Mother's first time in Paris, my wife and I took her to one of the Big Mama Group restaurants. East Mama was a first for all of us. Everything from the concept, seating, staff and, food was amazing. My mother is an extremely picky eater, so for the staff to be so patient with her I give it 5 . Also, since I was traveling with my family, I made it a point to take photos. They were so welcoming and allowed me to do so. Enjoy!

This was such a cute and beautiful restaurant, and if you're in Paris you definitely need to try it. East Mamma lives up to the hype. The service was super helpful, and they even had English menus if you ask, which was a lifesaver because the menu can feel a bit overwhelming if you don't read French. Everything we ordered was absolutely amazing. You MUST try the appetizers ! I had the Prosciutto di Parma DOP, and when the caption says "unforgettable thin slices of prosciutto," they are not lying. I still dream about it - so fresh, so flavorful. 10/10. And you must must MUST try the Arancini al tartufo - a literal 1000/10. If I hadn't ordered so much food, I would've ordered a second round. I honestly can't even describe how good they were... you just have to order them and see for yourself. I also had the La fameuse pâte à la truffe, which was amazing. It was my first time trying truffle pasta, and it definitely has a strong taste - so it can be hit or miss for some people - but I personally really enjoyed it. If you're sharing, definitely order a pizza. You honestly can't go wrong with any pizza you choose. BEST PART ! You cannot leave without trying the Il tigramisù - a solid 10000/10. If you're going to try tiramisu anywhere, let it be here, I promise. They also had a banana one, the Banoffeemisù, which my friend absolutely raved about (sadly I didn't get to try it, but she loved it!). read more

If i could eat nothing but the focaccia from this restaurant the rest of my life, that would be fine with me. The atmosphere is so authentic feeling and they let us in without a reservation, even though they were packed. If I ever come back to Paris, I will be back here! read more
Loved coming to East Mamma with my family! I ordered the truffle pasta and it was so tasty! Also tried my cousin's pizza which was equally delicious. The wait time was relatively short despite how busy the restaurant was when we arrived. Cozy, nice ambiance for lunch or dinner time. Located in the 11e arrondissement, easy access by Metro. Trop hâte d'essayer tous les autres restos du groupe Mamma!! read more

amazing fresh pasta!! East Mamma has a great vibe and delicious food. despite accidentally booking a table at their sister restaurant, they were able to seat us right away. we had the fameuse patê à la truffe, girella alla nerano, billie auberjean pizza, and tiramisu for dessert. everything was outstanding. the pasta was so fresh and clearly handmade. the truffle pasta was deliciously rich and umami, with thick, al-dente noodles. the girella alla nerano was stuffed with zucchini and sat on some addicting pesto sauce. the billie auberjean pizza had a beautifully puffy crust that was crispy on the outside and pillowy inside. the tiramisu was rich and smooth. i would definitely recommend coming here for some italian food. read more

I'm a big fan of the Big Mamma Group restaurants. They tend to be charmingly decorated, use Italian dinnerware (think what you'd buy in Positano), have Italian speaking staff, and of course, the most amazing food. East Mamma was no different. Like their other locations, its best to line up a few minutes before opening to guarantee a seat. On a Sunday in November, I had no trouble snagging a spot. I started off with a limoncello spritz - yum! For food, I had the gnocchi alla sorrentina and limonemisu. The gnocchi came in a piping hot pan, obviously straight out of the oven. I'd love to return and try some of the burrata everyone's been raving about. read more
The vibes in here are so funny! First of all the restaurant is so cute and decorated so nicely, but they were playing Kanye West and other rap American music, also selling themselves as a truly authentic Italian restaurant so there was kind of a clash of aesthetics... But I also kinda loved it!! The food was so delicious, and the drinks were even better. I got the gorgonzola gnocchi and the gnocchi was a perfect texture and perfectly cooked. We also got the big mama drink which I thought was pretty good, but the Balenie was by far my favorite drink, it's sweet so if you like that definitely get it!! It's seriously like my favorite drink I've tried in Paris. Also the lavender drink was more sour but still sweet so there was more of a balance. The lavender drink was a much smaller serving size, but it was so delicious. Overall the vibes in here are so great, the service is great! And the drinks are so so so good and the food is extremely satisfying as well :) read more

East Mamma is by FAR the best Italian place to go in Paris! The service is incredibly quick (comes out within a few minutes of ordering) and the ambiance is so welcoming. They are so kind to you. The food was delicious too, you could tell it was homemade!!! :) read more

East Mamma is playfulness on a plate. I made this reservation after having been impressed by my experience at Pink Mamma a few weeks prior, and this sister restaurant did not disappoint. I arrived before opening, and when the clock struck time for service to begin the staff greeted us with a welcoming and threatrical hello. The interior is decorated to perfection, with a nautical-inspired theme awash in yellows and blues. While I loved my linguine alle vongole, the real standout for me was dessert. I chose the banoffee pie, which came covered in curls of gianduja (my favorite) that perfectly complemented the creamy banana filling and slight crunch of speculoos at the base. The cocktail menu is also extensive, perfect for a night out in the heart of the Bastille. For a dining experience as fun as it is palatable, East Mamma is the place to be. read more

Booked lunch reservation the day before. Menu and payment via their website. Staff were helpful and pleasant. The truffle pasta was delicious! The sauce was a perfect combination of creaminess without being overbearing. Pizza crust was light and doughy. Crush was very thin so needed a knife and fork to eat it. Italian decor and nice mix of top 40 songs. Would recommend to anyone visiting. Especially if you aren't able to secure reservations to Pink Mama but still want to try their menu! read more
We had just went to Italy earlier in the year and wanted to have a Italian on one of our final days in Paris. I did some research and came across the Big Mamma food group on a blog. I picked the closest Mamma restaurant near our hotel and found this was only a train ride away, as it's very close to the Ledru-Rollin stop. We had made a reservation about 3-4 nights in advance and we were able to get seated after about 5ish minutes of arriving for our 8pm reservation. Our waiter was extremely friendly and took our orders quickly. We shared the food and asked that they bring everything out at the same time. We were not disappointed! We got the famous truffle pasta, agnolotti carbonara, veal meatballs and cauliflower tempura. Everything was so flavorful and crafted perfectly. We paid via our phones as the QR code on the table is linked to your bill. As we left there was a massive line out the door, so I highly recommend getting a reservation! read more
Was in Paris for 5 nights, and this was EASILY my favorite restaurant experience. Sat down immediately with no reservation, although we did get there a little later in the evening around 8:30 or 9. Me and my buddy both ordered the Gnocchi, and split a prosciutto pizza. The gnocchi was served in a cast iron skillet, and we ate the pizza as a perfect appetizer. Staff was so friendly and made the atmosphere even that much better. A great place and when looking for italian food in paris, look bo further!! read more

Holy moly. Soooo good! We found this place on yelp and basically followed suit and ordered whatever one else recommended. The burrata, margarita pizza and black truffle pasta The burrata was amazing. So stringy and creamy and fresh. They bring you bread as well. A MUST order The margarita pizza was warm and had a very soft crust. This is a fork and knife pizza and does not do well with slices.... but that is most pizza is Paris. The truffle pasta was unreal. Al dente and perfectly cooked. The noodles were long and the flavor was incredible. The people were nice and the service was great. I took about an hour twenty to get a table on a Saturday night. Their last seating is at 10:20. We got there at 9pm to put our name in and walked down the street for drinks until they had a table for us. Get there early if you want to eat. read more

What are the best restaurants Italian Really recommended love it come and Enjoy You will not regret read more
First thing first, the food here is DELICIOUS. I came with a group and we ordered the black truffle pasta, margarita pizza, red pasta (can't remember the name), tiramisu, a salad, and chocolate mousse. Everything that we ordered I loved! I would especially recommend the tiramisu, black truffle pasta, and pizza. My one complaint is that when the food came out, it wasn't hot for some reason, it was just slightly warm and became cold immediately. Some of the reason that it became cold very suddenly was because we were sitting outside, but the food just never was very hot when it was served to us. Although that was disappointing, I was still very happy with the food I ate here and look forward to coming back. read more

Nice and Cozy Place My friend and I came here around 2pm and were seated immediately. I've read so many reviews about their pasta with truffles which made me want to try it. However, I was a little bit disappointed... Even though the pasta was cooked al dente and had just the right amount of sauce, it was mediocre. Also, it was served on a plate, not in a pan. My friend had the Margherita pizza and it was very good! The sauce was delicious. read more
