Had noticed the many great reviews of this restaurant so had to try it out. Got an outdoor table for two having first been seated at one indoors where it was much too warm. Nice friendly staff took our order quickly. I ordered the veal and asked how it would be served .. with pasta in tomato sauce on the side. Later I noticed others being offered a side of potatoe as an option if had I known this is what I would have chosen ... black mark for the waiter! My wife ordered Tagliatelli in tomato sauce with meat balls ... 3 meat balls ! The veal was breaded but very dry and lacking in flavour. I told the waiter who accepted my criticism fairly and was honest in saying they were keen to understand...
A recent review of Mamma Mia suggested the food and service is poor. Nonsense. Mamma Mia is a typical, good, Italian restaurant with the typical Italian welcome and service. The food is excellent, especially the pizzas. I have always popped in when in St Maxime. My favourite is Pizza Napoli. The grilled mussels are great too. Wash down with draft Peroni or choose from the OK wine list. Your wallet won't suffer much damage. Why won't I return? I visited on a Tuesday. There was plenty of room. BUT, I am a widower and travel alone. I was stuck at the worst table by the loo (after the waitress consulted with the manager)! Everyone going for a pee passed close by. Silly really. I visit in spring...
Sat down and first service was quick, they took our order and we heard nothing from them for the next 50 minutes as we waited for our starter. No bread, water or olive oil brought to us like the other tables. We had our starter (no problem, tasted nice but a little dry) then there was a short wait for our main, my carbonara was bland, no salt or pepper! Scrambles eggs with spaghetti noodles, no cheese or flavour in sauce at all! Huge dissapointment and plate of food was not touched. When told about this no effort was to be made to take meal off the bill and they were hugely defensive about the food. We then waited half an hour after asking for the bill for the bill to be received.
We visited Mamma Mia 4 nights out of 7, so tells you how much we loved this place. Pizzas were cooked perfectly and plenty of topping, my wife enjoyed all her pastas too. Generally the main course and a sambuca were enough for us but on our last night we had a panacotta, which we shared, it was delicious.Service is excellent and given it is always nearly full says it all. Definitely recommend this restaurant for food and service and added to that prices for Sainte Maxime are very reasonable.

We visited Trattoria Mamma Mia on our first evening in Sainte-Maxime. It proved to be a good choice! Mamma Mia has indoor and outdoor seating, and we cooled down indoor.The restaurant was quite busy on this evening, but after a while we got our pastas and pizza, shared between our children. Pastas (arrabiata and parmigiano) were tasteful. The children also enjoyed their pizza Margherita.Total bill including soft drinks and a bottle of Barbeirane rose was 94 Euros.
This Trattoria offered a very nice meal with good fresh food. On the night we visited, they seemed a little overwhelmed and service was therefore lacking - so a little slow but still acceptable given the quality of the food at a very reasonable price. A very good option in Saint Maxine
I have walked past this restaurant many times over many years without giving it much of a thought. Why eat Italian food in the South of France? But how wrong I was! I enjoyed the best Siciliana pizza that I have ever had! Charming service, reasonable prices and great food.
We stopped for lunch on a really hot day and the service was swift and relatively friendly. I had the caprese pizza which was a little unusual and very tasty. Lovely cold wine on a hot day too! Definitely works with a family with kids who just need a simple pizza!

lovely food and service - we felt the portions were very generous. The price was maybe on the high side for pasta and pizza 180 euros for 4 of us but it was in the heart of Sainte Maxime !
First visit to this Italian restaurant. Friendly servants and the recommended Puglia wine was excellent. Both pizza were well done and very tasty. Definitely good value for money.
