The quaint…read moreatmosphere, dark lighting, clean atheistic and unwillingness to be chain-like all while still delivering quick and effortlessly delicious pasta is a marvel. They truly have trapped magic in a bottle. The menu isn't large but they do also have a rotating seasonal menu that accompanies it. All the dishes on the main menu are Italian classics done right. Most dishes have pork or beef. The pasta tasted very fresh and the portions were what you would want of a good Italian restaurant, plentiful. My "white" ragú was packed full of flavor and the beef was tender. The pecorino cheese used was perfect. All in all, this is the type of place that is always busy and with good reason. Since they don't take reservations lines do form at the front of both sister locations on the same block. Make the line, it moves fairly quickly. And if it doesn't it is still well worth it.

NONA PIZZA FLAGEY AVENUE GÉNÉRALE DE GAULLE/GENERAAL DE GAULELAAN 3, 1050 IXELLES, BRUSSELS We had the pizza with spicy pork and it was excellent. As good as Little Italy in the USA. The real deal. One of the best meals we had on vacation in Brussels. Staff was nice and everyone around us was enjoying their food too. Cute little lake out front with a dirt trail around it to walk on after you eat. Will return for more pizza!

They don't slice the pizza for you. If you share, they don't bring an extra plate. When requested, they bring you an empty pizza pan. No deserts. Just pizza. NOTE: CASH ONLY. Otherwise they do take the local bank's debit card. If you are a traveler, they don't take VISA, MC or AMEX. No notice posted about that-- so big surprise when checking out. We had slightly less cash than the bill. Also, they charge 3euros to share a pizza! . They dropped the sharing charge, so that our total cash-in-pocket ended up sufficing. That was nice, but they took 30 minutes to come up with that idea. We offered to wash 3 euro's worth of dishes. Not pleasant.

Strolled here by myself for lunch one day. I ordered a Hawaiian pizza for 8,5 euros. The portion…read morewas well sufficient for one person but just in case, bread and a small plate of olives come with every meal. I was lucky to get a small table by myself near the window next to the entrance. There is always something calming about eating alone in a cozy small restaurant. Maybe it's a European effect, or something from the sense of solitude as a lone traveler, you zone out but at the same time realize everything and become super aware to your surroundings and the conversations around you, absorbing the culture and sounds. I'm told the chef and owner is from Sicily, while I'm sorry to say this isn't the best pizza I've had in my life, I can definitely say it was worth the money. I am an avid fan of thin crust and they met my expectations. Maybe it's because I am a "fat over-consuming American", but I would've appreciated just a little more toppings and cheese. Nonetheless, if you're in the area and looking for an Italian restaurant, then Mamma Mia is a safe bet!

I'm italian and make alot of homemade dishes so I can be particular about pasta. We had a lovely dinner. The ambiance is perfect and the food delicious! They took the Covid restrictions very seriously and because I had a US card it was a bit of a challenge to prove I was vaccinated but was done all very politely. The three of us had fabulous meals. It took a bit long to get our entrées but they were busy and it was a Friday night. We did get a bread basket but rather late so I'm not sure if that's a standard to get a bread basket or it was because our entrées were late. We met the owner and his wife both very friendly and delightful people. Our server was great. I wanted to surprise my boyfriend and his daughter and pay for dinner so the server took care of that for me. My boyfriend had grilled shrimp and his daughter had the Arrabbiata Sauce and pasta. I had the spinach and ricotta pasta. We shared a speculoos tiramisu that was absolutely amazing! Highly recommend this restaurant.
