Sunday. The weather is so-so, so we can\u2019t go biking\u2026 we\u2019ve slept a bit too long after a Saturday night out (Maks is at his Granny\u2019s! Yeah!), so we have no plans, no schedule and no dinner. We can always find something for Mr. Maks, but what about us??!!?? And then Mamma Marietta<\/a> came to my mind \u2013it\u2019s quite close to our place and we\u2019ve never been there, and Italian food is good for us and for Maks as the boy would kill for noodles \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n

So, let\u2019s go! We\u2019ve heard a little about Mamma Marietta \u2013 interestingly, both good and bad opinions on the radio and on the net. We just have to find out for ourselves. Let\u2019s do it!<\/p>\n

Mamma Marietta is located on ul. Wo\u0142oska 74, near ul. Rac\u0142awicka. You\u2019ll see it right away: in summer the tables outside encourage guests to come in. The only problem is parking, but we manage to find a spot. The restaurant looks modest, but usually such places have the best Italian food\u2026<\/p>\n

\"Mamma<\/a>

modest entrance<\/p><\/div>\n

Unfortunately, there are no free tables outside when we arrive (the picture was taken when we were leaving ;)) but, on the other hand, I\u2019m not sure I would have managed to keep Maks from running towards the near-by Wo\u0142oska. There are no free tables inside either. The staff offers us a table in the backyard \u2013 they have a not too elegant mini \u201cbalcony\u201d with 3 additional tables. The surrounding, typically for the good old Mokot\u00f3w consists of trash bins, tyre flowerbeds, birdfeeder, pigeons and some parked cars. Maks is happy \u2013 he can chase birds, and this has lately been one of his favourite games. So, we decide to sit down and start choosing our courses! \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

Obviously we start with starters \u2013 we justify our culinary folly with the fact that it\u2019s a Sunday dinner \ud83d\ude42 We both go for mozzarella \u2013 I choose Bufala e Parma<\/b>, or mozzarella with Parma ham (PLN 28), \u0141ukasz chooses the handmade Burrata Pugliese<\/b>\u00a0with cherry tomatoes and basil pesto (PLN 30). I must admit that my expectations are high \u2013 bufala with Parma ham was my standard dish during our trip around the southern Italy and I\u2019d love to have it once more\u2026 The starter that you can admire at the top of this post is delicious and, honestly\u2026 I can\u2019t wait to return to Mamma Marietta just to taste their bufala again! \u0141ukasz is similarly delighted with his burrata.<\/p>\n

\"mozzarella<\/a>

here it is: burrata<\/p><\/div>\n

We\u2019re both eating like crazy! Unfortunately, Maks doesn\u2019t sit for even a second and keeps chasing pigeons \u2013 this wouldn\u2019t be a problem but the backyard is open and he can run towards Wo\u0142oska in a flash of light. He\u2019s too big to sit calmly in his highchair, although Mamma Marietta is equipped in them \u2013 a piece of information of those who have smaller and calmer children \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n

What\u2019s next? Pasta, pizza or a main course? We love pasta (I also love pizza but I\u2019ve had some recently), so we focus on this part of the menu \u2013 there is a variety of pastas and almost all of them sound interesting! We won\u2019t find a boring Carbonara, Arrabiata or a Bolognese.\u00a0Instead, there\u2019s Tagliatelle al Pomodoro Crudo e Trota Affumicata<\/b>\u00a0(PLN 30) \u2013 tagliatelle with tomatoes and smoked trout (it\u2019s tempting!),\u00a0Gnocchi di Marietta<\/b>\u00a0(PLN 37) with courgette, shrimps and fresh tomatoes, or lasagne with salmon, mascarpone and courgette (PLN 30). There\u2019s also a shrimp risotto (PLN 35). We decide to go with Rigatoni alla Catanese<\/b>\u00a0(PLN 30) with cherry tomatoes, aubergine and ricotta salata, and with Raviolini neri con Aragosta<\/b>\u00a0(PLN 45) – black ravioli stuffed with lobster.<\/p>\n

\"rigatoni<\/a>

delicious rigatoni appreciated by Maks<\/p><\/div>\n

\"ravioli<\/a>

the look may be unusual but the taste is fabulous<\/p><\/div>\n

I\u2019ve got only one thing to say: it was absolutely delicious. If only I could eat a bit more of my rigatoni \u2013 Maks loved it so much that I mostly had some aubergine and ricotta. It\u2019s a tasty combination, by the way \u2013 we\u2019ve discovered it in south Italy, in Positano. \u0141ukasz\u2019s ravioli was also excellent! Because Maks attacked my rigatoni, I yearn for more and decide to gratify myself with desert \u2013 we go with the classic: panna cotta<\/b>\u00a0(PLN 17) and\u00a0tiramisu<\/b>\u00a0(PLN 20). Panna cotta is dressed in fruits, raspberry sauce; tiramisu is tasty but we disagree about the over-dried biscuits \u2013 \u0141ukasz likes them and I prefer biscuits that are soaking, almost falling into pieces in my mouth \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

\"panna<\/a>

very fruity panna cotta<\/p><\/div>\n

\"tiramisu,<\/a>

a must in an Italian restaurant<\/p><\/div>\n

To sum up: it was delightful and we\u2019re definitely coming back! Maybe for lunch? It\u2019s not the most comfortable place to go with a two-year-old who\u2019s filled with energy \u2013 it\u2019s not spacey enough! However, I\u2019m sure that Maks would always find something suitable to eat in Mamma Marietta \ud83d\ude42 And we have to try their pizza\u2026 and other pastas\u2026 and chocolate souffl\u00e9 (yes, they have it, PLN 20)\u2026 and to enjoy bufala and burrata once more!<\/p>\n
