"Place was strategically located as it offers beautiful view of the port. The menu was simple with some recommendations of the day. The food was quite good but I think they were quite heavy on the bread crumbs. The fried calamari had a thick breading around it. Drinks were alrights."

"Really recomended, we came one Saturday without a reservation, the kids ate Pizza and Steack, and we ate Fish, I don't know what the Chef did, but the Fish tasted like right out of a Mishelin restaurant, it was amazing."

"La Mamma is located on the front of the harbour of La Ciotat. They have a large outdoor and indoor seating area that’s stylish and modern. The restaurant is very clean with the service being excellent. We went for the steak and mash potatoes but they were happy to swap my order to French fries. The tiramisu was also very delicious! Highly recommend going to visit here!"

"I love the black ink squid pasta from this place! Good service, cosy setting and nice location. Their cafe gourmand is pretty good too. I tried the marinara pizza- slightly greasy for me but the thin crust is unlike any I've ever tasted."
