Mamma Mia by Subxpress — Restaurant in England

“A Hidden Gem That Feels Like Home”

Tucked just down from Tesco in Serpentine Green, Mamma Mia by Sub Express is one of those rare finds that makes you feel like you’re in on a secret. Owned and run by Maria — a kind-hearted local Italian who’s nearly always there with a smile and a warm welcome — this spot has quietly become our go-to date place… usually before the glamorous world of grocery shopping.

The food? Always fresh, tasty, and fairly priced. We haven’t made it in for breakfast yet, but the morning special is calling our names. And the cocktail menu? Let’s just say the buy one, get one is a dangerously delicious invitation to say “ancora uno!”

The atmosphere is just as inviting as the menu. Since the renovations, it’s got a bright, cozy charm that works whether you’re grabbing a quick bite or settling in for a slower moment. It can get busy (for good reason), but there’s always a seat for those who know where to look.

In a town where smiles can sometimes feel rationed, Mamma Mia is the exception — warm, welcoming, and genuinely kind. A little slice of Italy, tucked away in Peterborough.

Maria, se stai leggendo: grazie di cuore — ci...

Now i dont do many reviews but THIS ONE i had to.

Was on my way to Burger King next door but as i passed by i was blown away by the decor, cleanliness, the faint italian music in the background, all of it! I had to have a peice of it!

The menu ranged from pizzas, to subs, to pasta. And a lovely variety of flavours!

I picked a Meatball Feast sub, on white bread, as seen in the photo, and a bottle of cherry coke for £13.60. In todays money thats a going rate for a lunch lets be realistic 🤙🏻

But what triggered my need to leave this review was the gentleman that served me, was so polite and professional, not just to me, but to his staff. Please and thank you’s, and addressing his chef as ‘chef’ rather than just shouting orders over.

An elderly gentleman came in on his own, ordered his food and this same server carried his coffee to the gentlemans table, and insisted that he brings his food to his table when its ready, he took care of him, and it was shown with love and passion.

I have absolute respect for this establishment and i wish there were more places like this! I had a beautiful experience and will return!

Keep up the great...

I’m never coming again. Me and my mum came here because the cafe was shut and we wanted to eat, I’m not eating for the rest of my life.

My mum was very clear about my picky self not wanting anything extra in my tuna mayo, just tuna and mayo. Please explain why my tuna was yellow, and tasted vile. It had lumps in it, which we assume was sweetcorn, but there was also something else in it I can’t quite put my finger on. I took one bite and now feel sick, forced my mum to eat the rest, and she claims she’ll never get over it. I don’t think she will. See image below.

The ham and cheese toastie wasn’t so bad, but the ham and cheese were rather cheap and dry: maybe that’s your jam I shall not judge.

On the other hand, the service wasn’t as awful. The lady that served us was nice, but just gave us a cup and told us to fill it up…. Where?? 🤨 Once we had found the water-filler, we took a look at the buttons, there were two buttons that said stop, none that said start.

Consider eating...
