Our History
In 1974, Pasquale “Pat” and Giovanni “John” Viscariello, brothers from Airola, Italy, opened their first restaurant in Kingston, Massachusetts. They named the restaurant “Mamma Mia’s” in honor of their Mother. Working beside them were their wives, Maria “Francesca” and Eugenia “Jenny”. Their children, Salvatore “Sam”, Antonio “Tony”, Gina, and John, grew up in the business, making pizza boxes by the hundreds until they were tall enough to reach the pizza counter. Forty years later, their Grandchildren are hand tossing pizza and learning the business.
Mamma Mia’s quickly became known as “The first name in family dining”. Inspired by integrity and traditional family values, the generations continue working together to serve the highest quality, authentic, Italian food. The mission to provide superior hospitality, reasonable prices, and old world Italian food with great pride and dedication is consistent between each of the restaurants. Other locations include Plymouth (Water Street), Kingston, Hanover, Carver, Marshfield and Carmela's in Kingston. Mamma Mia’s offers homemade pizza, pasta, and more!
Buon Appetito! Enjoy!
