Family owned and operated by the Recca family, Joseph Recca, born in Sciacca, Sicily opened Mama’s Italian Restaurant in 1982. In 2018, the Guido family who had worked for Mama’s over 25 years, took over ownership to ensure Joe’s legacy lives on. Located midway between Tampa and Naples, our pristine beaches, coupled with our slow and easy living, and friendly atmosphere, have earned us the title of “The Best Kept Secret in Florida!” Immediately a hit with the local community, Mama’s has since been awarded the local “Best of Englewood” in various categories over 36 times! Stop by and treat your family to any of our scrumptious creations, or possibly one of our hand tossed pizzas! Come taste why the locals say “I got mine at Mama’s”.
