Why Work at Little Mama’s Italian?

We’re more than just a restaurant — we’re a celebration of family, tradition, and unforgettable meals. At Little Mama’s, our team takes pride in preparing scratch-made dishes in a fast-paced, high-energy environment.

Little Mama’s Italian Kitchen is inspired by the old classic Italian restaurants in New England from the 60s and 70s. Really well done classics, without pretense. A stiff cocktail and a bowl of fresh pasta or a knob of just-made mozzarella are the simple but elegant menu items to look out for here. But the broiled steak will bowl you over too.
