Mama Ricotta's

Go if you want hearty, classic Italian with big portions, attentive service, and a warm room worth a special occasion. Skip if you prefer refined, lighter plates or a strong cocktail program. Make a reservation, especially weekends; it fills up fast. Bring a big appetite and expect leftovers. Bread oil is quite spicy. Some seating near vents runs cold, so a jacket helps. Cocktails are limited; come for the food.
