Trattoria la Mamma sur Menton

Not being from the area, we've made a habit of returning to Menton regularly, and on each visit, we go to this restaurant. Since our first visit, I've never ceased to appreciate the setting and the warm atmosphere. The service is welcoming, the owner is incredibly pleasant, always smiling and full of humor, and his colleagues are just as charming. I highly recommend this restaurant for delicious, homemade Italian cuisine at an affordable price.

Warm welcome and attentive service! The pasta with vongole veraci was very good! And we really enjoyed the desserts!

If you're in Menton and want to eat Italian food without risking the classic "tourist trap," Trattoria La Mamma is a solid choice. The atmosphere is typical of a simple, family-run trattoria, without too many frills but with a welcoming atmosphere. Service is generally friendly and fairly quick, which isn't always a given at busy times in the area. 🍝 Cuisine The strong point is traditional Italian cuisine: • fresh pasta • simple but well-made pizzas • classic dishes like carbonara, lasagna, and fish The portions are generous, and the flavor is that of Italian "comfort" cuisine, especially popular with tourists looking for something reliable near the border. 💰 Prices For Menton, they're quite fair: not as cheap as in Italy, but more affordable than other restaurants on the seafront.

Excellent service, the food is really good, the staff is very professional and friendly, we will gladly return! Alice

Excellent restaurant with a super friendly welcome; lasagna for my wife and osso buco for me, delicious!

Lemon Festival 2026, dinner Friday evening. Friendly welcome, the food was excellent. Service with humor and kindness, without being overbearing. A very enjoyable experience.

Seated on the terrace, we asked to change tables because there was a lot of very smelly dog ​​excrement. So we went inside. After they took our order, we waited an hour before being served, after which we decided to leave. The cleanliness and condition of the premises left much to be desired. It doesn't deserve the Routard guide's recommendation.

The cannelloni and side of potatos were great!

A trattoria just the way we like them! A warm welcome, the owner is in great spirits :-), and the mamma is in the kitchen. The eggplant parmigiana is highly recommended! No table reservations, so don't arrive too late, it's a popular spot!

A very warm welcome, an authentic atmosphere, and a delicious meal! The rabbit was excellent, as was the pasta with porcini mushrooms! The tiramisu was superb!! We can't wait to come back when the weather is nicer to enjoy the terrace.
