We've been here multiple visits. Staff friendly and made nice food recommendations. However, the meatballs were overcooked and hard. The ravioli were also hard and not very flavorful. The seafood combination (marinara) was very tasty. The bolegnese was on the creamy side and tasty. The garlic bread is always great.Food: 4/5

Food was good. Portions were decent. Complimentary Garlic knots were amazing and kept coming.One issue was that we were there celebrating a birthday and they refused to put a candle on a dessert for us. Saying "We don't do that" it didn't seem like an unreasonable request but nonetheless despite asking they refused. So we didn't order dessert and left.Additionally, the seating is very tight and the tables were very small. Definitely needed more space and unfortunately sitting in a booth the table was right up against my body making it quite uncomfortable.

If I could I would give it —5 stars! Have never had such a terrible service in my life even though I am from NYC. We came to Bethlehem for a weekend and we went to Mama Ninos for dinner, so it was 3 of us we ordered 2 appetizers and 3 entrees which is pretty good, the bill was for $129. So you can think they can treat you a little better. BUT THE MOMENT THEY SERVED THE MAIN COURS THEY KEPT COMING TO US AND ASKING IF WE NEED TO GO CONTAINERS and one of the waiters brought them to us even though we specifically said we just started working on our meals!!!!!I asked them what was the problem after the 4th time they came and the waiter said that they are busy tonight and we need to empty the table even though they had a lot of empty space,(see picture attached) we went in at 6 and by 6:30 pm we were asked to leave the table even though we were not done with our food, we didn’t drink or were loud at all (3 girlfriends went a little getaway) The stuff was nasty and the owner of the restaurant was rude. I will not recommend this place to anyone! The picture below shows how much empty space they had. Plus couple other booths in the back. I think they were racist! Because they didn’t ask anyone else to leave there were people who came before us and still was sitting and chatting and enjoying their Saturday night ! Make your service better ! And don’t be racist or rude to people Because we are all HUMAN BEINGS!

Our dinner was excellent! The friendly staff was very understanding and accommodating of my medically necessary diet and prepared one of the best pasta dishes I have ever eaten. The Cajun Seafood Sachette, four-cheese filled purse pasta, sautéed with shrimp, scallops, and jumbo lump crab in a white wine cajun cream sauce. Our Lehigh University student took home a container of the baked ziti and we look forward to future visits and delicious food.

Whoa!!!!! I've frequented this restaurant in the past, but this time was absolutely outstanding. I ordered the Mama Nina's Angel Hair Gorgonzola, which is Sautéed with baby lobster, shrimp, scallops and jumbo lump crab meat in a vodka gorgonzola basil cream sauce. BABBBBYYYY!! Oh my goodness! The food was so good I almost thought I was fluent in Italian!!! Great job!!! Sorry--I ate the food so fast, I forgot to snap a picture!

Called in for take out order , prices online don't match up with prices charged when you pick up food , for example my charge was $10 more , all you need to do is fix pricing online , very bad way to do business, server was very nasty about it , felt like it was take it or leave it. Unbelievable.!!!!!!!

Small restaurant, no reservations, and if you have to wait it's more than worth it. Had the Shrimp Florentine and it was literally one of the best dishes I've ever eaten. It was all in the sauce and OMG! Sorry I didn't get a picture! We recommend this place anytime!!!!

I’m in town visiting a friend and she and some of her friends said this is a great place to go for dinner. Sure enough, the food was some of the best I’ve ever had! I got the shrimp primavera and it was incredible. And the garlic buns to start the evening were delicious. This place is definitely generous with the garlic, but again, it was probably the best dinner I had all year! The inside isn’t glamorous and it’s tight, but we’ll worth it!

The food is good. Cute and cozy place, not so cheap, but the portions are huge, so I guess it's proportional. The service is fast, and in general I would recommend the visit, specially for those who enjoy eating sea food.

Stopped in while visiting Bethlehem. It was very busy. Very small place. The Tables are so close together you are practically sitting with people on all 4 sides of you. To get in the door I had to squeeze between people at 2 tables. The menu had a nice selection of pastas and salads. We chose the Angel Hair Key West. Their signature dish. There was 2 lobster tails, scallops, crab meat (couldn't find that in the dish) and shrimp. Everything was swimming in a light creamy sauce. Very good and large enough to share. The garlic knots were very good. They were out of a couple of desserts. The servers were nice and helpful however we never were offered more wine as they were very busy. The ambiance is loud and tightly packed. I would recommend eating here if you don't mind the crowded tables.

The restaurant is a little "crowded" but that makes it feel like you're eating with family. The garlic knots were so tasty I lost all self control and ate the whole plate. I thought I was too full to eat my penne alla vodka until I took a bite. The flavor was out of this world good. Our server was very kind and we never went without anything we needed. Absolutely delightful experience.
