Ma Ma Fia's East

I was mid at best. Their chicken Alfredo was, I swear, a microwaveable dinner dumped into a bowl. ZERO seasoning. They no longer serve complimentary bread and oil anymore. You increased the prices but say it’s too much for dipping oil???? — even after you create a bigger margin for yourselves? Lol. Okay then. I dunno…it’s gone downhill for sure.

What a Jewel of a place! We’ve been a part of the Tennessee River community in Pickwick, for many years, and never knew this place was here. We visited, after a friend stumbled upon it….WOW!! From Pickwick Lake, we drove a quick 20 minutes, and it was SO Worth the Drive!! We arrived around 6pm, seated ourselves, and were greeted quickly by the hostess. The restaurant is small, with a warm intimate atmosphere. There were 4 in our party. We all thoroughly enjoyed our entrees. Brown Butter Spaghetti, Manicotti with Meat Sauce, Tuscan Pasta, Veal Parmesan and we left with cheese cake to go! It was all DELICIOUS! We learned of the history of the restaurant from Tammy, who clearly loves the place and wants her patrons to leave happy. She shared the history of Ma Ma Fias with us and helped us to understand how deeply rooted this little Italian restaurant is in Savannah Tennessee. Do yourself a favor. Make time to visit this tiny little gem. I hope you enjoy it as much as we did. We can’t wait to go back!

The food was mid. I had the western burger. Pre-made patty but was ok. My daughter had chicken Alfredo. It was also mid. Precooked chicken. My other daughter ordered the lunch cheese pizza. Absolutely no flavor. When I asked it to be removed from our bill because it wasn't good the manager/owner said "what's wrong with it?". I said it doesn't taste good. You could clearly tell it had only been tasted. No apologies or anything. Waitress and manager (could be the owner idk) have the personalities of a brick wall. Also, if you ask for extra cheese on your burger it's 4.00! They also had very strong cleaner out wiping the walls and stuff the smell was overwhelming! so it didn't help in terms of appetite however, it is clean in here tho!

What a sweet Italian restaurant. Loved everything about it. My husband had the build your own pasta and was able to get a Cajun sauce and crawfish. I had eggplant Parmigiano and it was excellent. Old Downtown Savannah, TN

My Mom's couldn't eat all of her spaghetti, which she said was perfect, I got a Mushroom Melt ,1 of the best sandwiches ever.Our waitress Kayla took great care of our needs!

The truest test of an Italian restaurant is the simple pizza, It's not New York, but it IS good! I Shall return. Thoroughly enjoyed! Right on Main St, convenient, reasonable for quality, very nice folks. A great stopping place

Great food, good price and usually good service.

Used to absolutely love this place wanted to eat here with my daughter for her graduation. Went in and asked for a table for 5 and was told no problem. Then 2 minutes later I was told no I would have to shove 5 people on a 4 top. Went to golden dragon instead got 2 tables connected. No problem. When I called to complain was told there was no manager on duty

Good food, good service, inexpensive for lunch Definitely recommend this restaurant we will return and enjoy it again

So the salad comes from Walmart bagged lettuce/spinach. That was a real turn off. Staff is great and the venue is cute.

Cozy little place right on Main Street. The lasagna is my favorite here. Fast and pleasant service.

The food was great. They have cheesecakes. Who could leave without a piece of cheesecake? I couldn't!!! Italian restaurant. That is a great change from the other fast food/restaurant's that are around in my area.

Friend suggested this place to us. 40 minute drive from Corinth. Wonderful food, great service. Meatsauce was very well done, meatballs were moist and very tasty. Will be back to explore the menu. Too full for desert but cheesecake selection looked tempting. Got a piece of strawberry swirl and enjoyed when we got home. Would return just for the cheesecake. Not a tradtional cheesecake, very light and airy, fresh and exceptional taste.

I'd recommend eating here!! Make sure your hungry 'cause you won't be disappointed in portions. Everything I've tried was good. My favorite is the brown butter spaghetti. Save room for desert or take some home for later; novel cheesecake flavors abound along with specialty cakes and cannolis. Staff is super friendly enough to make you feel at home.

The food was great and everything tasted fresh. We're new to the area and we're looking for a place with great Italian flavor

Lunch portion of Bruschetta Grilled Cheese! So delicious. I would've never thought to try it because we always get a bruschetta appetizer, but this was the perfect lunch order! The staff even accepted our to go order 20 minutes before closing. (Another restaurant stopped taking to go orders the night before with way less notice). My husband and I love the food and have only had great experiences here!

We were passing through town and found this restaurant on yelp. It was a cute cozy place to relax. I could tell that the pasta sauce was homemade. Hubby enjoyed the tiramisu. He said it was one of the best he ever had. Our waitress was pleasant and unhurried.

Everything was absolutely wonderful. Great friendly service, excellent food well prepared and great environment. I couldn't think of anything reason to take away a star. The only thing I would change is I wish it was bigger. Not very many seats foe more than 2 large groups of 6 or more. But it's a great place and food is excellent.

Restaurant itself is very cute and the service was amazing. Everyone is so friendly. The veal Parmesan was great but forgot to take a photo. And the kids spaghetti was amazing as well. Burger was good too but my son is picky and didn't like the bun.

Need to change hours on Web page hours 8 people waiting to eat . Says hours today OPEN!!

On my 3rd time trying this place, I found something I really liked...their pizza was fantastic!!! I will definitely eat there when I visit my hometown!

Ate here before at the old location. Normally everything is great and their prices are reasonable. The 3 cheese tortellini with shrimp was not what I expected. Tasted like it had bacon in it and it was a little overcooked. It was ok but could be improved a bit.

Snooty unfriendly ownership despite many attempts to "kill with kindness". I'll take my business somewhere else, like 101 Burgers or Selah across the street where at least they know how to smile & be genuinely courteous

My husband had me meet him for lunch here. There was a bit of a wait for lunch, they were super busy, but it was very much worth the wait! The waiter was amazing and recommended the specials for the day. This was my first time visiting, and everything on the menu sounded wonderful. I went with the Madhatter burger which had an amazing bourbon sauce on it!.The bun was absolutely perfect, toasted with a buttery glaze. The burger was juicy & perfectly seasoned with grilled onions & lettuce for toppings. The fries were very fresh and the perfect crisp. I will definitely be back when I visit Savannah again.

We have eaten several times and the food is always great as well as the service, it will remain at top of list. Thanks Clifton River Folks

One of the best restaurants in town. Great food all around and it will be tough to find a better burger. Go try one of everything.

Very good and tasty food. Loved the chick parm. Great service and the homemade cheesecakes are so so good!!

I have desperately been waiting to have their Italian Wedding Soup so when I finally could have it as it was a lunch special I was excited but unfortunately I was so disappointed. It was not hearty for the $4.99 price for a bowl and it was VERY bland tasting. I do think the pasta pieces were homemade which is a plus but again the flavor was so bland that I had to add so much pepper, which sadly did not help. We also had the Mozzarella stuffed bread sticks and they were tasty. My husband took home a meatball sub and that was bland and and only had two meatballs, cut in half for four pieces, and one piece of provolone cut in half, which is sad. We would have paid more for more meatballs and cheese but we had no idea what the definition of sub would be for this restaurant. Maybe I am spoiled since I am from the Northeast (Philly) but I think there is a lot of room for improvement based on the soup and sub. The bread (roll) for the sub was good though.

We were afraid we'd find no place to eat at 7:30 pm on Monday in Savannah, TN. Several of the places we reviewed or were recommended to us were closed. My husband isn't crazy about Italian but I told him our other option was fast food. We were pleasantly surprised! Kyle, one of the owners' sons, was our waiter. He was very helpful and friendly. My husband had the shrimp salad and I had the manicotti. The sauce was different from any I'd had before- kind of sweet, but very good. If I'm ever back here again I'll definitely return.

Service is horrible. Waited over 15 minutes then got up and left. No one even acknowledged us. I guess they were too busy in the back with local gossip!
