Mamma Luisa - Review - Lower Thames - Newport - The Infatuation

"Mamma Luisa checks a lot of boxes on the cute, little Italian restaurant bingo card: there are old photos everywhere, knick-knacks lining the walls, and the intoxicating smell of sauce that’s been simmering on the stove long before you woke up this morning. This is a great spot for a quiet romantic night out, where you should eat ravioli, spaghetti and clams before your tonno puttanesca, while always saving room for the dessert tray that’s rolled out to your table after dinner. They have a rotating selection of Italian classics—we love the pistachio cake, but if that’s not available, go with the tiramisu or tartufo. And if you went to Rome once and now can’t end a meal without an espresso, this is the place to order one." - Danielle Rose
