Pizzaria Mamma Mia — Restaurant in Tavira

New edit to my previous comment on how Mamma Mia never disappoints...well tonight it did. Hence my 1 star for service.

Advice for tourists coming to this place after 7pm...be prepared for a LONG WAIT FOR SERVICE. I have worked in the service industry for a long time, I know that you don't offer tables if you are unable to provide service. Mamma Mias pack in the tourist, they overflow tables on to the streets ( do not take a table outside, you will be serving your own table).

We said nothing waiting for 1hr for our starters and then waited a good length for our main course. The excuse that the chef make the wrong starters was given for our long wait. All the same, we did not remark to the poor waitress who was overworked.

Having waited a long time with our dirty dishes in front of us, I got up to the counter to pay our bill. I remarked to the owner that tonight was very poor for service and his return was then don't come after 7pm and threw the bill at me. They over charged us 1litre of wine and 1 litre of water.

I told the owner he was rude and his return was well I am stressed.

Then. Do. Not. Take. Too. Many. Tables. At. One. Time. If. You. Cannot. Offer....

Very disappointed. Called at 10.08pm, yet refused a table, and when we asked for takeaway, this was also refused. Advertised open to 10:30pm! Should appreciate that some flights arrive late in the evening. Funny during the low season, have often eaten here much later. Lost a long time customer for good....I remember when you had the smaller venue down the road! Thats how long we are supporting...

What a wonderful evening. This place should be full like all the other places across the river. It has atmosphere, brilliant service (obrigada) and the pizzas and salad cannot be faulted. Great prices… a shared pizza, huge salad and jug of really good sangria cost 30 Euros. The pizza makers, Joseph and Johnny were characters, and lovely people. Thank you for a most...
