Little Mama’s is the place you come with friends, family, coworkers—anyone you care about. We feature heart warming foods inspired by classic Italian-American recipes. If you’ve never had a meal with us, try the fresh mozz bar and some scratch made pastas. A full bar, sun room and dining room give you a variety of spaces to enjoy yourself and have a leisurely time with a cold beverage and some food like your grandmother used to make. Inspired by the 1960s and 70s Italian restaurants of his youth, Frank Scibelli opened Little Mama’s in 2020 as a sister concept to Mama Ricotta’s, a Midtown fixture since 1992 known for its pizzas and comfort classics.

• Barbecue • South Charlotte
Booked 3 times today
Midwood isn’t trying to reinvent barbecue. It’s not pouring miso foam on pulled pork or stuffing brisket into croissants like some sort of smoked meat sadist. What it is doing is taking everything you love about the Carolinas’ most sacred tradition and executing it with religious consistency, craft, and yes—actual fire. Not propane. Not fairy dust. Real. Damn. Wood.

    The cuisine was, as always, terrific both for this meal and for lunch the next day! The value-for-money remains amazing especially a great wine flight. The atmosphere is good, perfect for the place, not bad but equally not over-the-top, hence "good" on the stars. Service was friendly enough but one of our party had, and said, a no diary diet. Server acknowledged but made no difference. When her food hit the table, the more experienced one who brought immediately offered to have it remade with a different accompaniment and while the waste of food was regrettable, it was told and should have been offered right away. Everything tasted great and we all left happy, the server with a few fewer dollars than might have been the case otherwise.

    The food was really good and outdoor space was perfect. I hate sitting out in the sun, but I do like being outside so I had a covered area open to the outdoors and the street wasn’t terrible with driving traffic but tons of people out walking around just a cool place to have lunch.
