Mamma Onesta's Italian Restaurant - Italian restaurant in Lockport - 1100 S State St, USA

A nice little boutique italian restaurant nestled in downtown Lockport. They have quite an extensive menu with all the italian favorites one would expect. We were promptly seated and served, but it does take a bit for the food to come out. We ordered the sausage and peppers appetizer which was delicious, and stuffed shells, also very good...and really stuffed!! Waited about 35 minutes for our food, but the restaurant was moderately busy. There is also a nice bar. A glass of house cabernet is about 8 dollars. All together dinner for 2 is about 50 minus tip. Would definitely recommend trying this place. I would go back.

The tortellini and stuffed shells were phenomenal! Highly recommend. Great service as well!

Our first visit there, it was Sunday afternoon, we did not have reservation. It wasn’t a problem. Tracy was our server . She recommended Veal Florentina & I ordered it. It was served hot & delicious. We waited a little for a main dish. My husband had chicken carbonara & it was rich in flavor & quite satisfying . We’ll be back.

Food was good. House salad had too much dressing for my liking. I should have ordered on the side. Lobster ravioli was al dente and tasty. Sauce was too watery but the raviolis are big with a lot of lobster filling. You can feel the strong lobster taste. Service was 5 stars. Shout out to Cecily my server. Very attentive and pleasant. Friday at 5:30pm and the place was busy so plan accordingly.

My husband and I went for an Anniversary dinner. I'm glad we got there early. Even on a Wednesday night it started to really fill up quickly. Atmosphere was lovely and our food was amazing! We couldn't finish our dinners, so lunch for tomorrow too!

I am excited to write this view because my family and I had such a great experience dinning at Mama Onesta's . It was our first time . I made a reservation on Father's day to celebrate my husband's special day . It is a nice small restaurant . First had my favorite wine came cold and hubby ordered watermelon martini with fresh hot garlic bread knots . Then we ordered Fried Asiago Cheese Stuffed Gnocchi and Mozzarella Carrozza they both were delicious specially the Gnocchi. Then I ordered Collosal Shrimp ( perfectly cooked shrimp and pasta with Lobster sauce which was a new taste to me and I loved every bit of it ) Hubby had Chicken Vesuvio another authentic delicious Italian dish that we loved and would definitely order again 😋 For dessert I had pistachio Gelato which was perfect also had mixed Gelato ( with all flavors together) that was a unique taste . Tiramisu tasted great as well as their chocolate mousse . Everything we have tried here had unique taste that will make us visit again to try other menu selections. Our waitress Yasmin was super helpful and friendly. Added this small authentic restaurant to my must visit restaurants list .

Nice place in Lockport on State St. Comfortable dining room, kind of old style Italian. Clean, good staff. The service is a little slow, but we weren't in a hurry. THE FOOD: Started with Bruschetta... was pretty good. Average. The house salad was delicious. Fresh, crisp, tasty. Had creamy garlic dressing which was a little sweet, but good. I like to get some meatballs when I try an Italian restaurant, so I ordered a side order with my entree. The main was Penne pasta with Italian sausage and portobello mushrooms. The meatballs are great.....meaty, flavorful and not bulked with filler. The pasta was OK, the sausage is great...and the dish is not overly oily (fantastic), but there wasn't much in the way of mushrooms. Did not taste much, or see many bits. The sauce they have has good oregano and Italian spice flavor, but is on the sweet side too.

Got there at 4:15, waited on promptly. Dinner took quite a while to come but food was excellent. The 3 of us had chicken onesta, chicken Antonio and steak. Steak was cooked perfectly and chicken dishes were amazing. Worth the wait. Will definitely go again.
