Little Mama's Italian-SouthPark is one of our favorite restaurants, and our most recent visit was exceptional, in part because we were able to see our favorite manager, Will. He warmly greeted us and checked on us several times during our meal, making sure we were enjoying our time there. Khad, our server, was excellent, providing detailed information about certain dishes; and based on Khad's specifics about the soup of the day (beans and greens), I tried it despite my general dislike of greens. The soup was fantastic! The Mama's Salad with chicken was delicious with the Barolo house dressing, and my husband had the Mama's Chicken Sandwich, which was also great. Little Mama's has a variety of superb dishes. Great people, food, and atmosphere.
