Mamma Onesta's Italian - Lockport

The fried calamari was delicious, the chicken Parm was not so good, missing the gooey cheese!! We expect hard crusty yummy Italian bread at the Italian restaurant instead, we got couple hard rolls, hummmm, service was good.

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.

This review is based on just the Children's spaghetti and 1 meatball. I can't order a full meal since I'm working valet for this place and have to run around constantly so this little meal hit the spot and the meatball is adult sized and well seasoned. The spaghetti sauce is prepared just like a top Italian restaurant like Rosebuds prepares it, which I thought was the best spaghetti in all of Chicagoland but Onestas is now a contender in my opinion. Definitely recommend the spaghetti here, so delicious and they even include a small side of olive oil with minced garlic and a small bread roll hot out of the oven! All delivered to you to-go in 15 minutes. No waiting.

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 .

First time here and had a great dinner. Had the fried calamari for appetizer and was good. Had the braised beef ravioli in vodka and was amazing. My wife had the carbonara which was close to, if not, the best I have had. Highly recommend this place and will be back soon.
