  Not even midway through my meal staff knocked over water and spilled it all over onto me and my food. When they came back I told them I could not finish it because my food has ice and water in it. They took the food away and gave us our bill without even offering any sort of alternative or apology. We asked for the item to be taken off or for some sort of discount because I wasn’t even finished with half of the meal when this happened. We talked to the manager who comes and immediately acts defensive and extremely rude manner and just leaves after stating that I had “three spoons of food left”(not true) and refusing us of a discount after offering one previously. Kept saying “why are you fighting me”, I do understand that we might have come off as a bit upset but still for a good reason and I don’t quite understand why he immediately became so standoff-ish and aggressive with us. Another staff member came later after he left and applied a “discount” which was a military discount of $3 off of my item only and when we tried to explain our situation we were immediately shut off. Food also took forever to get to our table. Will not be returning.

  I decided to treat myself to a New Years Eve dinner! Wow! This place knocked it out of the park! The amount of food received was amazing and the quality and flavors were the best! I had the order placed through DoorDash and I received the food quickly. I have only one complaint. I asked for my calamari to be fried extra crispy and it wasn’t. Que sera ! I look forward to ordering from here !

  Used to go here a lot years ago, and so my son and I decided to go back. Still welcoming, still a small place with a lot of tables, so it does get crowded (but not uncomfortably so). And still that homey feeling of a time that's come and gone. I always loved that it's a BYOB place. Still is. The rolls, with all that garlic, so good!! The food was really good too. Try the Gnocchi and the Mama Niña Linguine! The cheesecake was excellent!! It's not cheesecake in the American, super sweet, smooth texture sense. It's a ricotta cheesecake, and really good. So glad they're still doing their thing, and seem to be as busy as always. We'll certainly be back!! Check 'em out!!

  Sooo, this place was way more than I expected. A group of friends and I were in the area from NYC with a serious craving for Italian food, and we decided to stop here. From the moment we walked in, warmth met us immediately. It was cozy, inviting, and filled with the most amazing aromas. The waiter greeted us and let us know there would be about a 10-minute wait… which turned into maybe 4 minutes. Love that. They seated us in the basement area, which was just as cozy and charming. Our waiter was kind, informative, and super helpful. I kept my entrée simple and went with the lasagna, but thanks to her recommendation, I added bolognese sauce—and WOW. That extra layer made all the difference. But wait—can I backtrack for a second?? This is a BYOB spot, which I actually loved (especially as a non-drinker). They offered lemonade, and it was sooo good. Highly recommend the peach lemonade. Oh—and the garlic rolls? Top tier. No notes. If you’re new to Bethlehem or just want a great Italian meal with excellent service, I highly recommend MAMA NINA!!!!!!

  I popped in today to rectify a receipt for reimbursement purposes. I was also seeking protein -- I went with the Veal Fantasy . . . DELISH! WELL balanced . . . Just the right amount of artichoke hearts, sun dried tomatoes, pasta and cream sauce . . . Truly, truly yummy in my tummy. I want to post a picture!! I can't seem to find that feature. And . . . A SHOUT OUT TO DIANAH!! Service with a SMILE! Attention to detail, lovely and accurate. Thank you Dianah! I'll be back! Oh! And as this IS BETHLEHEM . . . we were lucky enough to have carolers pop in to sing to us!! Merry MERRY CHRISTMAS 🎄🎁!! AND a HAPPY Prosperous New Year!
