Mama Riso's - Lake George

The only good thing about the meal was the service. We had both ordered specials. The strip steak tasted like a microwaved burger and the San Remo pasta looked like a cooking experiment. We will not be back.

I booked a reservation for 10 and we were seated within 5 minutes. The service was excellent. Roxanne did a great job handling our party. The food was good and was prepared quickly, not a long wait at all. For Lake George, the food was good. Not great but very tasty and good portions too. Had the veal saltimbocca with escarole. Everyone else enjoyed their meals as well. I would consider again for an Italian dinner option. Give this establishment a try.

Came here based off some recommendations. Let me tell you, it was not a let down at all. When considering an Italian restaurant, I judge it based off if things seem homemade, like I'm staying at someone's house or store bought in bulk. Every thing I tried in here seemed home made. To start we walked in and we're instantly greeted by a lady behind the bar, and we were seated right away. A waiter promptly came over and took our drink order, followed by food. We skipped appetizers as the dessert menu looked spectacular. I ordered the chicken parm with vodka instead of red sauce, my wife ordered it with the red sauce. Both versions were absolutely delicious. My father in law is vegetarian and got the ravioli (there were many options for him) For dessert we got the chocolate mousse and cannoli which were delicious as well. They were out of tiramisu (which is home made). I got an espresso to go along with it. All in all the food, service, and atmosphere was phenomenal will 100% be returning next year on our trip!

We were given a big surprise. This little Italian restaurant was much better than I held out hopes for; I believe there may have been a first-generation Italian in the kitchen! The atmosphere and environment were dark and poor, but their sauces were tasty. The restaurant floor also dips towards the front window so that you won't be seated evenly. For our dinners, we had Clams and Shrimp Marinara with Fettuccini, salads, and Minestrone Soup. And, a Shrimp and Scallops in herbed butter. Both of these dishes were satisfying. The marinara sauce was nice and light. Their idea of fettuccine noodles is odd but prepared well overall. Most of the restaurants close on Thursday here, so when you find a little cafe that is open and tasty--be grateful. Our server was polite.

I absolutely love Mama Riso's's! We are here at least once a week. The owners could not be more accommodating, the service is excellent, and the food is outstanding. Authentic, amazing Italian specialties!
