Absolutely excellent staff, friendly, happy to recommend a dish, was able to pair our wine with our meal well. We had the scallops, cheese balls, meatballs and fried bread for starters and the pig skin and bean pasta and the guanchale gnocci. The meatballs were the stand out. With the gnocci a close second. The servings were plentiful. Only comments we have were that the pig skin pasta did not really have a stand out flavour to overercome our squeamishness with the pig skin and most scallops were overdone. Overall we'll be back and update. Plenty more to try.

Such a lovely Italian restaurant! The atmosphere is cozy and perfect for having a nice chat with friends. The food was absolutely delicious — every dish was full of flavor. The staff were incredibly friendly and made the whole experience even better. Definitely a place I’d love to come back to!

Really had a great birthday night! Good conversation. The food was good with crispy photo and pasta. The owner was very chill and had a shot with us to celebrate my birthday. I would like to visit next time!

Love this place very authentic and great vibes, it gave us a very homely and nostalgic environment, small and romantic space, incredible food and incredible people. Highly respect the owner and the staff here, very talented! Will definitely be coming here again

Mamas Boy has such a wonderful atmosphere, and every staff member made us feel truly welcome! The food was excellent across the board. The braised beef cheek was melt-in-your-mouth delicious, and the Linguine Marinara, full of rich seafood flavor, quickly became my favorite. I also loved the Polpette della Mamma meatballs – so comforting and tasty. For dessert, the tiramisu was absolutely outstanding. We ordered a bottle of Prosecco, which paired perfectly with every dish. Honestly, Mamas Boy is the best Italian restaurant I’ve been to in Melbourne. A must-visit if you’re ever in Brunswick!
