From the friendliness of the staff and owners, the greetings from Richard and Michael, the response on the face book page to the absolutely delicious food and attentive waiters. Definitely a place you can't go wrong at. We had gnocchi with Gorgonzola sauce, fettuccine with salmon and a pizza. A hidden gem. Popular so make sure to book. Will definitely return again. Thank you.

Feels like I have gone back in time . Lovely family style restaurant with heart and soul will recommend to everyone!!!

La Mama is our local Italian restaurant. We have been going there for years. By the time we enter the front door, our favorite bottle of wine and glasses of water are ready to be served. The food is consistently good and the manu so varied from your average pizza, pasta chain.
90 Oxford Street, Ferndale. Give it a try.

La Mama really is a hidden gem. It's a quaint small restaurant with furniture fit for the middle ages. The staff are knowledgeable, friendly and very accommodating. We had an amazing supper there. The pasta is truly delicious. We weren't so impressed with the Tiramisu, it was a bit dry. We'll definitely be back soon.

Chef been working the kitchen for 18 years ? I gotta check this out!

Its olde worlde charm is a delight. Waiters are dressed as waiters, the service is great and as an odd quirk the food often comes in a sectioned steel plate. Had dinner with mates and the tripa la Romana was amazing. Its not everyday that I'll eat tripe, but this was made with care.

The table bread was lovely and the pastas were excellent. If you are driving past, stop on in. This little jozi-meets-Rome taverna is a good bet for real deal Italian with an egoli twist.
Recipes come outta nonnas cookbook and they were happy to see us (Which I always like).

My grandparents ate here almost every Sunday. I joined them a few times.

Now Richard Baloyi who worked there for over 30 years is the owner. He managed to buy it after the original owner passed away.

It's exactly as I remember it. Hearty, authentic Italian. They bring you whole complimentary foccacia to start and every meal is served with an old school metal plate full of delicious cooked spinach, carrots and cabbage. And some amazing chips.

There really isn't another place like it these days. Authentic and steeped in tradition and history.

Truly amazing pizza and they are one of only a handful of Italian restaurants that make a fantastic lasagna. The pizza crust is authentic and delicious. The tomato sauce is the right consistency and tartness and packs great flavour. The toppings and cheese are well balanced and of a high quality. I really love this place for authentic Italian flavours and quality.

The service was decent and friendly. It's not the best ravioli I've ever had but it was perfectly pleasant. Wine list is decent. Not an ideal location but the ambiance is quite nice.

This is a truly special and precious restaurant for #KevFabFood. This gem started off in Blairgowrie and I remember going there as a child and teen with my family. They have moved to Ferndale and although they celebrate their 50th year they still have the authentic Italian style going. Nothing has changed which makes their charm even more fab! Their menu and food has stayed the same as I remember it - service is attentive and spot on! Try this place and you won’t be disappointed...bravo to the team - bravo! I can recommend the fab house salad to start, the Osobucco (excuse spelling) for mains and leave room for the rich and yummy creme caramel

My husband and myself returned to eat at La Mama this evening, after not being there for quite some time. I'm happy to say that the food and value for money is just as excellent as it was when the two previous owners owned it. The decor is homely and cosy and the new owner is very welcoming. The staff are ( or at least one is) from the time when La Mama was still in Blairgowrie. Once seated we received a complimentary focaccia bread with olive oil and butter. I had the Veal Parmigiana which was very nice and my husband had the fettuccine with Prawns and pesto which was a substantial portion and very delicious. We shared a tiramisu which could have been creamier but still tasted very nice.
Although not in the best street in Sandton, don't be put off. They have adequate parking and good security.
We will most definitely return again soon.

Homely restaurant with amazing food and excellent service. Traditional Italian menu with lots of favourites rarely found elsewhere. The Parma pizza and cannelloni are exceptional!

Really nice place. Great food. Friendly staff. It was their competition who was closed recommended this place. Thank you

Margot Uys

Such a lovely restaurant. The waiters always look so smart and are so friendly and efficient. Lovely and delicious traditional italian dishes with the best asparagus and baby chicken in town. Little touches like the complimentary foccacia and the home made sangria make it truly memorable.

Nice Italian old fashion restaurant. My favourite is the schnitzel. The pizza is also fantastic. If you want you can also sit outside on a terrace. The service is good. The waiter's are friendly and helpful.

Fran Stafferd

Excellent meal, once again. We have been going to La Mama for almost 20 years and the food is as better as ever. The waiters are so friendly and provide great service. Great local business and well worth supporting.

Leanne Williams

Classic hospitality that is completely lovely combined with phenomenal cuisine and a beautifully relaxed atmosphere. Thank you for being a gem for more than half of my lifetime. Hoping for many many more years of special occasions celebrated at La Mama.

Prashanth Gokaran

Staff and management that sincerely care. While the restaurants will check on you because the manual say so. One can tell that they care from the bottom of thier heart. Food was of a standard that far surpassed any expectations I had. Easily the best authentic Italian kisses we ever enjoyed.

Chev Reddy

What a hidden gem! It is so quaint and lovely with the best service I've ever seen! The waiters are dressed handsomely and are pleasant and accommodating. The food is out of this world good. Definitely a must for a date night.

Justin Render

An old Joburg mainstay that's been around for decades. Despite my table of 10 being the rowdiest guests last night, we were still treated with the utmost courtesy and the food - as always - was fantastic; made with care and pride, hearty and delicious. I hope La Mama is around for many decades more.

Martin Koch
