So this place is extremely overpriced and underwhelming for the quality and portion sizes. I ordered the veal scallopini, and the plate was filled with huge chunks of vegetables that looked more like cheap farm-style sides than something from a restaurant at this price point. The veal itself was just 3 very small, thin pieces with barely any meat. It was average at best — not filling and not particularly flavorful. My wife ordered the tortellini pasta with pepperoni. The sauce was probably the only good part of the meal, but the portion was tiny and absolutely not worth nearly $40. We’ve had much better Italian food across North America for far less money. This restaurant feels more like overpriced hype than actual quality dining. Either the food quality and portion sizes need improvement, or the pricing needs to come down significantly. To make things worse, after we finished eating, we waited around 20 minutes just to get the cheque, with no explanation for the delay. Overall: 1 out of 5. The only positive is the Chelsea, Quebec location itself — the area is beautiful.
Reviews / Ratings for Mamma Teresa Ristorante
The food was really good and they allow dogs on the patio 🙂
Had an absolutely amazing lunch at Mama Theresa in Chelsea—easily one of the best meals I’ve ever had. The vegetable soup was a solid 10/10, full of flavor and incredibly comforting. The atmosphere was charming, cozy, and had such a warm, inviting vibe that made it easy to relax and enjoy every moment. What really made the experience stand out was the service. The owner is an absolute gem and came by our table several times to check in, which added such a personal touch. Our waiter was equally impressive—professional, friendly, and attentive without being overbearing. Highly recommend this spot if you’re looking for a memorable meal with great food and even better hospitality! With Steven J Wong Film
One of the bests
Classic place to have formal dinner, tried lamb and steak, top material, taste up the par, very pricey.
Food was amazing and service was also amazing, would recommend
I’ve been to Mamma Teresa Ristorante a few times, and each visit has been enjoyable. The atmosphere is warm and classic, and the service is always friendly. The pasta dishes are comforting and well prepared, and the portions are generous. It’s the kind of place that feels steady and familiar — good for a relaxed meal and conversation. I’ve had good experiences here and would happily return.
