This place was busy because there was a family party happening in the side room. We were only 2 of 2 other people here, but the season was ending (we were here to experience fall foliage) and most of the restaurants were not open.
The food was so so and I've had better. It was mostly what non Italians think Italian food should taste like.

The service was decent but we were really disappointed in the food. The pasta (fettuccini and penne) were definitely NOT homemade. The vodka sauce was awfully thin and runny and not very good. The Alfredo sauce was also runny and not creamy smooth like it should be also the sauces lacked seasoning. I added the shrimp to my Alfredo. They were cooked well but they charge $8 for 4 little shrimp. I never add salt at a restaurant but all the food was a little bland. The arincini balls were cold in the middle they weren’t fully cooked or must have been previously frozen and not thawed all the way.

Amazing food, amazing staff!! Best water I’ve ever had at a restaurant!!! No joke. The vibes are incredible very cozy family restaurant, highly recommend if you’re in the area. Great dessert as well. 10/10 would recommend. A must visit while in Lake George. Looking forward to eating there again. All the food my table got was amazing. Best food in Lake George. We were also seated immediately!

I read some of the reviews before going to Mamas and I was reluctant to go. As I am standing at the entrance with my family for about 10 minutes without even being greeted, my wife says " let's go elsewhere the reviews spoke about the lack of service" I said let's give it a chance. Its post covid and i hope they are just short staffed. Soon after we were seated. Waiter was good eventhough he seemed to be rushing through the specials and questions about the menu. It was not super busy for him to be like that but he was good. Food was very good. Tasted fresh and well seasoned. The place was a bit

The service was less than desirable. Waitress annoyed when we asked for bread & charged without informing us that there would be a charge for additional bread. Not all drinks were brought out as should. Had to ask twice for a drink for one of us & waitress admit to not having written it down for either time. Beer was not cold. The food quality was definitely not worth the prices. Most of us did not enjoy our meals. All dishes lacked flavor. It was our first time at at this establishment and will be the last. We truly cannot give anything but one star.

My daughter and I happened upon Mama Riso's on our way to UVM and we are so glad we did. It is as good as any fine Italian bistro in Manhattan. Without a doubt the best clams casino and tiramisu we have ever had and the pasta, as well as the service were incredible. I don't remember the name of my drink, but it was gin, lemon juice, cucumber and basil.... and it was delicious. We will be talking about this meal for a long time.

Three strikes, you’re out! My husband and I went to the restaurant at my suggestion because years ago I had a good experience there. I am embarrassed to say that I was horribly mistaken. New owner? Strike number one, my husband ordered a strip steak Pizziola, we didn’t find out until the bill arrived that they charged him three dollars more for a ribeye. When we questioned the waitress she said they were out of strip steak so they gave him a ribeye. We both have plenty of experience with ordering out, and know the difference. He did not order, or receive a ribeye. Nor was he offered something

While visiting Lake George, we decided to eat at Mama Riso as recommended by a few locals. Our server,Roxanne, was attentive and friendly. I had the seafood fra diavolo and the hubby had chicken parmigiana which we both really enjoyed. The pasta is made onsite and the seafood was plentiful. For dessert we had the homemade Italian cheesecake which was fresh and creamy. When I visit again, I will be sure to stop by.
