East Mamma

A fantastic place for lunch. Just a tad bit short of a 5 star experience, due to a few minor technicalities, but overall a very good meal, for the price. The inside decor is homey and warm. Kinda reminds you of a friend’s house or something like that. I felt very relaxed. The staff is helpful, and they don’t bother you every few minutes. The food is delicious, honestly. We ordered the truffle pasta and carbonara, and believe it or not, I prefer the carbonara. The tiramisu is not bad also, plus a small espresso and you’re set! I totally recommend it.

Made a same reservation based on recommendation of colleagues. Exceptional service, excellent dishes. The flat bread is 5+ star. We had 2 pasta dishes - both excellent. The service team made us feel welcomed and constantly checking on how we liked the food.

Italian restaurant where the tables were VERY closely packed together - apparently, it's a common thing in paris. Menus and payment were all made via qr code (though you could ask them for a physical menu and pay in person if you prefer since paying via the qr code had an extra 1€ charge). Ordering was done via the waiter. Our mains took quite a long time before they arrived, but the truffle pasta i ordered was amazing! it looked small, but because of how creamy it was, it was really filling. Amazing taste! For dessert, if you order the tiramisu, they basically bring the tiramisu out and scoop it into a bowl for you. I got the profiterole, and it was quite large. They pour hot chocolate sauce over it, and the chocolate sauce was pretty good quality - smooth and milky. The pastry wasn't the best as it was a bit toughand the whole dessert in general was a bit hard to eat (like physically hard to cut, etc). overall, it wasn't bad, and i would get it again.

I love this restaurant group! I make a point of trying a different restaurant each trip to Paris and they’ve all been amazing. Wish the wait was shorter for people with reservations but the food and ambiance are worth it.

Went here for dinner with my bests of mate and what a lovely time we've had. The food as always was amazing. After incredibly tasty entrees which we've shared out across the three of us the pastas came in. The truffle pasta is one everyone should try out, I came back for it all the way from the Netherlands. The service from Franseca was top notch and overall we've shared a great night of good food, laughter, good vibes and once again good food. I'd advice anyone to come to the big Mamma group

Recommended by our airbnb hosts and what a fantastic place. We didn’t have a reservation and there was already a queue at 7:30, but we were happy to sit at the counter - great because we got to watch the kitchen at work Burrata with peas & broad beans for entree followed by a couple of excellent pasta dishes and a bottle of Sangiovese for 75 euro. Service was very friendly and a fabulous atmosphere. Hope we get to come again before we leave Paris

Very nice local restaurant. The staff are very polite and nice. The food are nicely cooked and presented.

We stumbled on it on our way to our hotel and wow, what an experience! Everytime we passed in front of it there were lots of people waiting and when we finally went, it was clear why. The food is great, the presentation is great, the staff is kind and can speak a bunch of languages, all in all, it was a pleasant surprise. I'd really recommend if you're around the quartier or, if you're not, I'd say it's worth the trip. It's really close to gare Ledru Rollin. We went without reservations at about 7pm, and we still got a table for 2 just fine. The food came quickly and it was just awesome.

Loved coming to East Mamma with my family! I ordered the truffle pasta and it was so tasty! Also tried my cousin's pizza which was equally delicious. The wait time was relatively short despite how busy the restaurant was when we arrived. Cozy, nice ambiance for lunch or dinner time. Located in the 11e arrondissement, easy access by Metro. Trop hâte d'essayer tous les autres restos du groupe Mamma!!

Nous avons passé un excellent moment à East Mamma. Les pâtes aux truffes sont vraiment bonnes. Le choix des vins italiens nous ont été bien conseillés également. le Tiramisu citron était généreusement gourmand pour finir notre soirée italienne Enfin, accueil et service impeccable ! Nous reviendrons !

This is such a solid spot!!! If you can't get a reservation at their other locations don't worry this is so so amazing! I got the San marzano pasta and my mom got the truffle pasta and they were both so good and such a big portion! The service was so sweet and we didn't wait long for drinks or food! Please go here if you get the chance! The service won me over completely

It was pretty amazing that they could accommodate 10 of us immediately! We expected a longer wait but they were able to sit all of us right when we asked. The staff was friendly and spoke English and Spanish as well, and gave us great recommendations when we tried to make alternate food choices or additions. The restaurant itself was cute, and the layout and decor was really inviting too. The food was good too! I ordered the Some Like It Hot Pizza and tried a couple others like the Regina Instagram and the Margherita and they were all good. Though one of us had half-hot-half-cold pasta. They also gave us a salad and bread and those were also pretty solid for appetizers :)

Sat at the bar for a solo lunch in this hip, cute spot by the Big Mamma Group. The menus are similar across the restaurant group but not all of them have the cacio e pepe, so that's what I went for. And it did not disappoint! The salty cheese with a hit of strong but not too strong pepper. Perfectly well cooked. Absolutely inhaled the entire thing and was still functional afterwards. Prefer this to the super popular Pink Mamma, can't wait to come back and try more of the menu - especially the truffle pasta made fresh in a cheese wheel tableside. That looks incredible!

Super busy but worth the wait. Great food. Great service when they arrived at the table but felt ignored until then. Better ambience at other ones but not bad if ur hungry.

The food was just amazing ! Truffle pasta was the best one I've had so far. The pizzas were super light and authentic. Drinks were also pretty good. Amazing ambience, food and experience, highly recommend !

Wow! We did not plan on eating Italian food in Paris, but we walked by and saw all of the delicious food on everyone's plates. We made a reservation that night and were able to get in the same evening be it late. We ordered the truffle pasta which was amazing and I highly recommend, as well as two pizzas. The margarita pizza was very good as well. Service was solid and everything came out in a timely fashion. This is a large restaurant that goes much further back then imagined, with attention to detail at every corner for design so the place is visually very stimulating. That being said, it is very popular and it is loud, so if you're looking for a quiet evening, this is not your place! But if you're looking for great food that is memorable, sign right up because it was one of the best meals we had in Paris!

After being turned away for not having a reservation the day before we were happily greeted the next day by name (we were able to find a dinner reservation online). We were looking forward to this meal blowing our minds since East Mamma seemed so popular and hard to get into but we were sadly extremely underwhelmed. Positives: Cool looking restaurant with plenty of tables. Hostess and servers were all very kind. The bathroom looked cool. Negatives: The food! It all looks better than it taste. The bread was basic, I've had better from a grocery store. The lasagna we make at home taste better with store bought sauce. The burrata was flavorless and a waste of an appetizer. The pasta with mushroom dish needed something like a cream sauce. It wasn't horrible but it was easily the worst meal we had in Europe. All we could say was "at least we're not hungry anymore".

Can't get a reservation at Pink Mamma? Don't stress, just try one of the other locations so you don't miss out of the truffle pasta!! Best meal of my life!! It's cozy and the staff is awesome!!

This place was very close to our first Airbnb spot and we looked at the reviews and decided we should come here and eat it for dinner. There was a line when we came here but the wait was not bad. The service was fun and light-hearted which I did enjoy. We decided to try a few dishes which were an appetizer, pizza, and a pasta. They give you a side of bread which was tasty and all the dishes that we did order was amazing. I overall would bet that anything you order from here is good! This place was packed and the plates are super cute. Loved it and would come back again to try more!

I just stopped by East Mamma! I had high high hopes! I had the bresaola as an appetizer which was good. Nothing to write home about but tasty! Their truffle pasta is what I made the 45 min drive in for (staying near Disney) and they took an hour and 15 mins to deliver the pasta. Tables arrived after me and left before me. Someone arrived over an hour after me and got his food 15 minutes before me. Ridiculous! The pasta was honestly not great. I don't know if it had just been sitting there but it did not taste fresh, it was just kind of stiff and not good. I know so many people go and love it so I think my experience was NOT the norm. Someone came out to apologize, she was very nice and offered me a free dessert which I was not hungry for. They ended up paying for my aperol spritz but did NOT comp the pasta itself.

Came by for dinner the other night and it was a tasty experience. Made a reservation online 3 weeks prior to dining and my counter space was available upon arrival. When the restaurant opened at 6:45 pm, there were 2 lines, one with reservations and the other for walk-ins. The restaurant was packed at opening! Started off with the burrata and it was tasty. Super fresh and over a small bed of tomatoes and olive oil! Moved on to the truffle pasta and it was quite fragrant. It was also amazingly affordable at 18 Euros! The truffle pasta was also quite creamy. The restaurant claims that the pasta is made fresh daily. Ended the meal off with the tiramisu and it was excellent. Super fragrant, not too sweet, and super flavorful! Waitstaff was super accommodating, taking orders and organizing the queue from their mobile. The menu was available via the QR code at the counter and payment was also possible from the QR code, for a quick exit! The entire staff front and back of the house seemed to be Gen Z and I heard quite a bit of Italian speaking amongst the staff! The toilet is located in the basement, down the windy stairs! ~40 Euros for dinner after adding on 10% tip for "Amazing" service and 1 Euro for some donation to some charity that was automatically added to the bill with the ability to remove.

I'm back! It was great like it always is. Make a reservation; we didn't and had to wait 30 min to eat at the bar. They offered us a table with the wait time being an hour and a half away. Bar seating was accepted and we had 4 cheese pizza an octopus dish and a beeftels. The bill would have been a little less if I had not ordered two drinks! Great food great atmosphere good service. We skipped the desserts this time but next time we will make sure to save room.

East Mamma is part of the tremendously popular Big Mamma chain- we had previously tried OberMamma and liked it, so it was a no brained to snag a reservation here. Definitely reserve! It's very popular and you'll be waiting a long time if you don't. We started with cacio é pepe arancini which delivered on the flavor in a big way. Definite recommend on these as a starter. My main was tortellini in brodo which netted me a large bowl of chicken vegetable soup stuffed with plump, meat filled dumplings. Perfect comfort food for a chilly night, and absoutke delicious. Being a glutton, I opted for a tirimisu and it was lovely - not too sweet. Super fun atmosphere, great food, great date night spot - thumbs up for East Mamma.

Everything was just, ok! Food was ok, we had the truffle pasta out of the cheese thing, it was bland. The service was ok, nothing wrong but nothing special.

The food was immaculate, some of the best food I have tasted. The service was fast after you order and the waiter was so sweet. The ambiance is great, the music is at a good level. All around amazing!

Place gets packed at lunch but we're lucky to get seated. Tried a couple of their pastas. The truffle pasta was very delicious, the other one we tried the veal ragu was very basic tasting and would not get again. The burrata was a nice appetizer as well. Overall good food but nothing exceptional.

Book in advance or get there early! Greeted with the excitement of the staff, East Mama was a memorable moment for my family and I. As it was my Mother's first time in Paris, my wife and I took her to one of the Big Mama Group restaurants. East Mama was a first for all of us. Everything from the concept, seating, staff and, food was amazing. My mother is an extremely picky eater, so for the staff to be so patient with her I give it 5 . Also, since I was traveling with my family, I made it a point to take photos. They were so welcoming and allowed me to do so. Enjoy!

Make a reservation this place is always busy. I loved the red wine I had, can't remember the name of it. I enjoyed the seafood pasta here, it was delicious great temperature and texture. I did not like the pizza something was a bit off however this spot is very busy and has a great ambiance.

East Mamma is by FAR the best Italian place to go in Paris! The service is incredibly quick (comes out within a few minutes of ordering) and the ambiance is so welcoming. They are so kind to you. The food was delicious too, you could tell it was homemade!!! :)

amazing fresh pasta!! East Mamma has a great vibe and delicious food. despite accidentally booking a table at their sister restaurant, they were able to seat us right away. we had the fameuse patê à la truffe, girella alla nerano, billie auberjean pizza, and tiramisu for dessert. everything was outstanding. the pasta was so fresh and clearly handmade. the truffle pasta was deliciously rich and umami, with thick, al-dente noodles. the girella alla nerano was stuffed with zucchini and sat on some addicting pesto sauce. the billie auberjean pizza had a beautifully puffy crust that was crispy on the outside and pillowy inside. the tiramisu was rich and smooth. i would definitely recommend coming here for some italian food.

Best meal we had in Paris! Everything was delicious and the service was stellar and quick for Paris. So glad we had a reservation because when we left there was a line out the door! The whole staff is from Italy so the dishes are on point! Please go here I promise you will love it.

Yes! Yes! Yes! This place is a must! Service was amazing, everyone was so nice and helpful when answering questions. The food was authentic and delicious. The decor was cozy and cute, great for photos. Everything about this place is perfection.

De long discours ne servent a rien, il faut aller à l'essentiel, vos pizzas sont parvenues à donner du bonheur à mes papilles gustatives. Le service est très bien réalisé par une équipe très compétente. Merci encore

the staff was so rude, making us sit at a place we did not want to sit. First, then they said to go sit outside and eat when it was freezing and raining. Then they took forever to open, it opened at 7:00 pm and it usually opens at 6:45 pm. On the website it said you can walk-in. Such rude staff, we also didn't even get to try the food, not coming to this one again.

The staff was rude and smoking in the front of the restaurant. 1st they did not open timely, then they shut the front door at 6:45 pm when it was the start time, saying they needed more time. The staff was playing games they wanted us to sit outside when it was raining, then wanted us to sit at the bar which was difficult for my kid, and then they were like 1 hr wait when the entire restaurant is empty. My kid was upset and we finally left the restaurant because who would want to eat at a place where a paying customer is treated badly.

The vibes in here are so funny! First of all the restaurant is so cute and decorated so nicely, but they were playing Kanye West and other rap American music, also selling themselves as a truly authentic Italian restaurant so there was kind of a clash of aesthetics... But I also kinda loved it!! The food was so delicious, and the drinks were even better. I got the gorgonzola gnocchi and the gnocchi was a perfect texture and perfectly cooked. We also got the big mama drink which I thought was pretty good, but the Balenie was by far my favorite drink, it's sweet so if you like that definitely get it!! It's seriously like my favorite drink I've tried in Paris. Also the lavender drink was more sour but still sweet so there was more of a balance. The lavender drink was a much smaller serving size, but it was so delicious. Overall the vibes in here are so great, the service is great! And the drinks are so so so good and the food is extremely satisfying as well :)

East Mamma is playfulness on a plate. I made this reservation after having been impressed by my experience at Pink Mamma a few weeks prior, and this sister restaurant did not disappoint. I arrived before opening, and when the clock struck time for service to begin the staff greeted us with a welcoming and threatrical hello. The interior is decorated to perfection, with a nautical-inspired theme awash in yellows and blues. While I loved my linguine alle vongole, the real standout for me was dessert. I chose the banoffee pie, which came covered in curls of gianduja (my favorite) that perfectly complemented the creamy banana filling and slight crunch of speculoos at the base. The cocktail menu is also extensive, perfect for a night out in the heart of the Bastille. For a dining experience as fun as it is palatable, East Mamma is the place to be.

Booked lunch reservation the day before. Menu and payment via their website. Staff were helpful and pleasant. The truffle pasta was delicious! The sauce was a perfect combination of creaminess without being overbearing. Pizza crust was light and doughy. Crush was very thin so needed a knife and fork to eat it. Italian decor and nice mix of top 40 songs. Would recommend to anyone visiting. Especially if you aren't able to secure reservations to Pink Mama but still want to try their menu!

We had just went to Italy earlier in the year and wanted to have a Italian on one of our final days in Paris. I did some research and came across the Big Mamma food group on a blog. I picked the closest Mamma restaurant near our hotel and found this was only a train ride away, as it's very close to the Ledru-Rollin stop. We had made a reservation about 3-4 nights in advance and we were able to get seated after about 5ish minutes of arriving for our 8pm reservation. Our waiter was extremely friendly and took our orders quickly. We shared the food and asked that they bring everything out at the same time. We were not disappointed! We got the famous truffle pasta, agnolotti carbonara, veal meatballs and cauliflower tempura. Everything was so flavorful and crafted perfectly. We paid via our phones as the QR code on the table is linked to your bill. As we left there was a massive line out the door, so I highly recommend getting a reservation!

I'm a big fan of the Big Mamma Group restaurants. They tend to be charmingly decorated, use Italian dinnerware (think what you'd buy in Positano), have Italian speaking staff, and of course, the most amazing food. East Mamma was no different. Like their other locations, its best to line up a few minutes before opening to guarantee a seat. On a Sunday in November, I had no trouble snagging a spot. I started off with a limoncello spritz - yum! For food, I had the gnocchi alla sorrentina and limonemisu. The gnocchi came in a piping hot pan, obviously straight out of the oven. I'd love to return and try some of the burrata everyone's been raving about.

This was not a good meal at all. I ordered the spaghetti alla amatriciana and it was basic. I make it better at home with canned ingredients. So disappointing.

What are the best restaurants Italian Really recommended love it come and Enjoy You will not regret

Was in Paris for 5 nights, and this was EASILY my favorite restaurant experience. Sat down immediately with no reservation, although we did get there a little later in the evening around 8:30 or 9. Me and my buddy both ordered the Gnocchi, and split a prosciutto pizza. The gnocchi was served in a cast iron skillet, and we ate the pizza as a perfect appetizer. Staff was so friendly and made the atmosphere even that much better. A great place and when looking for italian food in paris, look bo further!!

My daughter and I are visiting Paris to Celebrate my 70th birthday. We both love Italian food, but skeptical, as we do not know how to speak French. However, this restaurant was highly recommended for their exquisite pizzas! Excellante!! I also had Negroni which similar to an Old Fashion. Again excellent! I also ordered a beautiful cold salad with arugula and of sliced beef with figs. Oh my God it was so good. As for the service, it's impeccable. It's a small, quaint restaurant, but the ambience takes you to Italy. This is a must restaurant to visit next time you're in Paris!

Holy moly. Soooo good! We found this place on yelp and basically followed suit and ordered whatever one else recommended. The burrata, margarita pizza and black truffle pasta The burrata was amazing. So stringy and creamy and fresh. They bring you bread as well. A MUST order The margarita pizza was warm and had a very soft crust. This is a fork and knife pizza and does not do well with slices.... but that is most pizza is Paris. The truffle pasta was unreal. Al dente and perfectly cooked. The noodles were long and the flavor was incredible. The people were nice and the service was great. I took about an hour twenty to get a table on a Saturday night. Their last seating is at 10:20. We got there at 9pm to put our name in and walked down the street for drinks until they had a table for us. Get there early if you want to eat.

First thing first, the food here is DELICIOUS. I came with a group and we ordered the black truffle pasta, margarita pizza, red pasta (can't remember the name), tiramisu, a salad, and chocolate mousse. Everything that we ordered I loved! I would especially recommend the tiramisu, black truffle pasta, and pizza. My one complaint is that when the food came out, it wasn't hot for some reason, it was just slightly warm and became cold immediately. Some of the reason that it became cold very suddenly was because we were sitting outside, but the food just never was very hot when it was served to us. Although that was disappointing, I was still very happy with the food I ate here and look forward to coming back.

Absolutely loved this place! One of the highlights from my week in Paris for sure. From what I hear, the queue can get quite long here on any given day of the week, so it's best to coming sooner rather than later in the evening. I arrived at 7:15pm on a Tuesday and had no problem getting a table but I noticed the restaurant was basically full by 8pm We split the baby pizze as an appetizer which was fantastic! The dough was so warm and soft and stratcciatella was so fresh. I would absolutely get that again. I then had the truffle pasta for the entree and it did not disappoint. Their bread is also very fresh. I will definitely recommend this restaurant to everyone.

Nice and Cozy Place My friend and I came here around 2pm and were seated immediately. I've read so many reviews about their pasta with truffles which made me want to try it. However, I was a little bit disappointed... Even though the pasta was cooked al dente and had just the right amount of sauce, it was mediocre. Also, it was served on a plate, not in a pan. My friend had the Margherita pizza and it was very good! The sauce was delicious.

Came here with my roommates and had an amazing dinner!! Truffle pasta and cacio et pepe arancini were extra delicious. Shout out to our waiter Felix he was super friendly and attentive, highly recommended! Someone give this man a raise.

My husband and I found this place randomly. I usually look up places before we go eat at them (I'm such a review nut), but didn't get the chance to before he decided to walk into this one. Thankfully, once we got seated, I saw that East Mamma has a pretty good score. All right let's bring on the food! We came about noon and luckily before the lunch rush. We got seated right away and noticed the place filled up right after we sat down. The vibe was comforting and cozy. My husband chose the Neymur Burrata (€14) pizza based on the waiter's suggestion. I went with the Tu Mi Fai Girar (€13) pasta. The food came out quickly and was hot and delicious! The pizza was oozy and pasta the right amount of tenderness with flavorful beef and mushrooms. Five stars for good location, cozy vibe, nice staff, delicious food, short wait time for food, and clean bathrooms!

This has to be the best Italian I've had in a decade. Located near the Bastille area, it gets crowded very quickly because of its reputation. We got lucky and sat at a high table immediately but regular tables were 1:30h wait. After a delicious duo of saucissons we shared the dry ink pasta and the burrata pizza. Both amazing though I think the dry ink pasta was just phenomenal. We added 2 glasses of Moscato d'Asti, a Sangiovese and dessert (rice pudding) and that was still less than 70€. What's not to love. Oh and the Italian waiter was perfect.

It's not a huge secret: I love pasta. Give me a choice between eating pasta and eating something else, and I'll always choose the former. Where would we be in this world with pasta? And in this case, where would we be without East Mamma's truffle pasta (and burrata + fig pizza, too)? If you spend some time in Paris, the Mamma restaurant chain is bound to pop up in conversations, and for good reason. These three restaurants (Pink Mamma, East Mamma and Ober Mamma) all have the same type of aesthetic Italian atmosphere. And they're all extremely hard to get a spot in, because these guys all open at 7 p.m. and don't take reservations. It's like the Hunger Games -- every man for himself. The wait may seem annoying, but it's worth it. The menu is perfection, with options for everyone and reasonable prices. I ordered the truffle pasta and the burrata pizza. A truffle-aficionado by heart, the pasta blew me away. It was hearty, tasty and the pasta was fresh. The underdog, however, was the pizza. With balsamic, figs and heavenly burrata, the pizza was moist and flavorful. Not to mention, the crust is as close to perfect as possible. East Mamma, you have my heart. I'm still dreaming about the pasta.

This is probably my favorite Italian restaurant in Paris,you can't make reservation for dinner but better is staying in the line and get excellent food The service was great,food was delicious as well,my tiramisu was divine,highly recommend this restaurant

Yes, this place is expensive. But FUCK ME is it delicious!! The burrata was DIVINE. I can put down one of those large balls of cheese all by myself, even if it'll eventually give me coronary artery disease. If you have never tried burrata, it's like a cheese present. The outside "wrapping" is a firmer mozzarella. When you cut into it, the filling of cream and mozzarella shreds (to explain it crudely in simple terms that probably don't do it justice) just oozes out. Ugh, it doesn't get any better than this. I also had the amazing truffle pasta, but I swear, I think about that burrata appetizer more than the pasta! Definitely a must try if you're in the area.

Heavenly. Very authentic Italian. Truffle pasta was UNREAL. And for dessert the tiramisu is a must try.

France was our third and last country that we were visiting on our recent Euro trip. Unfortunately, the first two were not Italy. So we decided before we left, we HAD to have pizza and pasta, even if it's just the French kind :) We found East Mamma after many blog reads and Yelp reviews - and we DO NOT regret our decision! The place doesn't take reservations, so we showed up as soon as the restaurant opened. We don't mind eating dinner early, so it was actually perfect. We also saw others show up at opening time and make reservations for later in the evening. We always order more than we could actually eat, so we started with the charcuterie board, then ordered both the truffle pasta and margherita pizza. The charcuterie board was FANTASTIC - the different shaved meats are all exquisite and it's really a wonderful way to start your meal. Then comes the pasta. It's now been a couple months since our trip and we still talk about this pasta. We sort of regret not each ordering our own truffle pastas. Probably the most rich, flavorful, memorable pasta I've yet to have! The pizza was also very delicious but sadly overshadowed by the pasta. We ended up taking most of it home. All in all, fun vibes, GREAT food (pasta).

After trying many times, unsuccessfully, to get in. We decided to have dinner extremely early just so we could get a seat. We went at 6:40 and waited in a huge line. We ended up getting the last table, I was ecstatic. We ordered a bottle of wine and two pizzas. I ordered a margarita and my boyfriend ordered the pizza with Brussels sprouts. Because it was early we didn't order an appetizer, but they looked really good. Maybe next time we could try different menu items. Our pizza was good, it wasn't the best pizza I've ever had, but it was really good. Both of us were a little confused on why this place is so hyped and why they don't take reservations? I've been to two other pizza places in Paris that I think is the same quality and one that's better and it's not a hassle to get in. I'm more disappointed by the hassle of waiting in line at 6:30 than the food. This place is decent, especially for the price. But I don't think I would wait in line again just to get a table here.
