We've gone to Jackson's Pit a few times and are consistently leaving fat, dumb and happy. The food is always well-prepared and balanced, the 'of the Week' selections are unique and, frankly, half of the reason that we keep coming back. The local beer scene is well-represented (taps and bottles) and rotates to keep bringing new brews to try. Taco Tuesdays are a great deal and a lot of fun with the other regulars. Regardless of the up charge, get the fries; you will not be disappointed. I'm stingy and picky, so you know those fries are worth it if I say so. Happy Holidays to Everyone at Jackson's Pit! We've had a great time visiting since we moved here and we're looking forward to more memories in 2023!

As luck would have it, I chatted with a new local friend a few days before and 'got the lowdown' on Mama Mia's. Her words and advice were spot on! She gushed over the bread - so good! - and mentioned how she and her mom often shared plates because the serving sizes are so generous. She also said that they used to make their own spumoni and, admittedly, I hoped that was still true (I didn't confirm one way or another). There was a 20 minute wait. Our hostess was running a tight ship and we were confident in her forecast, so we chatted and looked over the carryout menu, planning our meals. It was pointless, of course, because it was still hard to decide! Our server Missy took great care of us, from fetching a craft beer menu to boxing up our leftovers. The restaurant was busy yet we never felt a moment of neglect. The hustle is STRONG here, with servers weaving intricately between the tables with food and beverages. It was a bit like dinner and a show! I had the tortellini Parmesan dinner, which started with one of the best bowls of minestrone that I can recall. The vegetables were on point, firm with no mush. The dinner salad had a lot of lettuce but also a nice collection of 'stuff' including cheese, meat and olives. I loved the tortellini; straightforward and not smothered, it let the pasta shine. Smokin'Hubster had the stuffed shells a la carte and added some meatballs. Everything was well-presented and prepared, super tasty and, well, it tasted like it was made with love. Nonna would approve! Because I had the dinner, I had my choice of ice cream. While I had hoped for the spumoni, the option I chose was amaretto Mackinac Island and it was divine. If they didn't make it on prem, they have an amazing partnership. I can't recall the last time I had ice cream after dinner and I certainly don't ever think that I've remembered it so fondly a week later. Trust me, it's THAT GOOD! In the best Italian tradition, the leftovers were even better the next day. The value cannot be overstated. We were fat, dumb and happy twice with this dinner. Crazy as it sounds, Smokin'Hubster was already planning a carryout order because he wants to try some other dishes (as do I)!! Start to finish, it was the best date night! Lots of street parking and easy to find in the burgeoning metropolis of Ishpeming. Get yourself here and enjoy la dolce vita!

Mama Mia's Italian Restaurant is one of the few long-running restaurants in Ishpeming that…read moregenuinely feels tied to the town rather than just located in it. The place has been around for decades, and the experience reflects that kind of stability and familiarity. On the food side, I ordered the Lasagne Dinner, which is a verified menu item, along with garlic bread. The lasagne is exactly the kind of old-school Italian-American comfort food that works best in a place like this. The layers hold together properly instead of collapsing into sauce, the cheese has a rich baked texture without becoming oily, and the meat sauce has a slow-cooked flavor that feels consistent rather than rushed. The garlic bread also deserves mention because it comes out with a crisp edge and soft center that actually complements the heavier pasta dishes instead of just sitting on the side untouched. Service is one of the restaurant's strongest qualities. The pacing feels experienced rather than scripted. Staff know how to handle regulars, larger dinner rushes, and slower tables without making the room feel chaotic. Refills, check-ins, and food timing all happen naturally, which gives the place a much more relaxed rhythm than newer restaurants trying too hard to feel upscale. The ambiance is a huge part of why the restaurant works. The interior has that older Italian restaurant warmth with dimmer lighting, darker furnishings, and a dining room that feels lived-in rather than renovated for trends. It is comfortable in a way that makes people stay longer than they planned to. The atmosphere feels personal and local instead of corporate or interchangeable. Overall, this is one of the more complete dining experiences in the area. The food is deeply consistent, the service feels experienced and natural, and the atmosphere has enough character that the restaurant stays memorable long after the meal is over.

Beer choices varied and curated and rotate- cocktails are thoughtfully made and presented. Whitefish dip was good, paired with pickled watermelon rinds pushed it over the top to exceptional.

So I ordered one with chili, cheese and fried onions. Not only was it delicious but it was a very large hot dog. A big thumbs up. My wife got a sandwich on their special menu that was "Greek". She liked it a lot but there was nothing Greek about it. Prices were good and the food was good. Definitely recommended.

I loved they let you add truffle oil and feta on the pizza at the end, free of charge. The cheesy garlic bread was delish, for 2 people one order was enough. However, for a family - I'd suggest ordering two. They accidentally only gave 5 wings (normally comes with 6) but gave a big @ Brownie to make up for the shortcoming. My husband said these were the best wings he's ever had (they bake it 3 rounds in the pizza oven). I was happy to see they had vegan ranch! I will warn you it's Walden Farms bottled dressing, however, I appreciate their effort given this area of town probably doesn't have much demand for vegan ranch. The staff were very friendly, despite us coming in shortly before they close. The restaurant was super clean and the dining room had plenty of space (perfect for large groups). Also, had outside setting. We chose this place as google reviews showed this place as top rated and we're not disappointed :)
