Restaurant Week Boston- Mamma Maria

Mamma Maria was wonderfully DIVINE. The food, the ambience, the service. Everything was perfect. I was pleasantly surprised to see the wide selection of choices from the menu for Restaurant week. Usually what you can order is pretty limited but there was an array of tempting dishes to choose from. I started off with the tuna tartar... It was fresh and the taste didn't linger long in your buds; which was wonderful for me. As for the entree, I ordered the lobster tortelli. Although at first glance I was rather dissapointed of the size, each bite was incredible. With sauteed asparugus and mushrooms thrust above it, it was phenomenal. The compliments of the vegetable and the tortelli made a surprising tease to the tongue. Although the lobster content was rather on the salty side, the handmade tortelli neutralized it. I finished off with the order of flan as my dessert. The presentation was nothing special but the flavor did it justice. The flan melts upon each bite and your buds capture the strong, sweet caramel flavor. Unlike any other flan, it had a light texture but yet a lasting taste.
As for the ambience, it was perfect. We sat by the windows and felt that we were in a cafe in Europe. The way they arranged the dining areas to be in cozy room, and lighting dimmed, brought about the essence of originality of this fine European Restaurant.
Mamma Maria is a precious treasure found in the heart of the city.
