Italian Restaurant in Riverside

Authentic Italian dining on Magnolia Avenue

Mamma Mia Italian Restaurant sits at 10971 Magnolia Ave in Riverside, California, a few minutes from the 91 Freeway and the La Sierra neighborhood. Guests from across the Inland Empire come for handmade pasta rolled in-house, wood-fired pizza and calzones, veal and chicken classics, and fresh seafood served in a warm, family-run dining room.

The Riverside kitchen cooks the way an Italian restaurant should: slow-simmered marinara and bolognese, house-made ravioli and lasagna, garlic knots straight from the oven, and daily specials that follow the season. A full bar pours Italian wine, classic cocktails, and draft beer alongside every table.
