From the artistry of da Vinci and Michelangelo to the words of Alighieri and Galileo, the Italian landscape is beset with so much art, beauty and cultural ingenuity that it's almost impossible to find a common thread that binds it all together. But there is one thing. Behind each of these men was an Italian mamma, who cooked meals that inspired greatness.

In the same way that literature and art are carried forward by the canon, so too are great family recipes carried into the present. When you grab a $40 voucher to use at Mama Mia Ristorante Italiano for only $20, you'll get to taste more than food - you'll taste the cultural inheritance of this Italian-Brazilian family. 

When the members of this family first arrived in New Zealand, they were drawn to the Mt Maunganui landscape because of its similarity to Italy. It was here, where emerald waves can be seen stroking the rocky New Zealand outcrops, that the delightful Mamma Mia Ristorante Italiano was founded. By drawing on the recipes that were passed down through their family for generations, they pledged to provide New Zealanders with an authentic taste that couldn't be found anywhere else. When you visit this spot, you'll be greeted with a smile and afforded all the pleasantries of Italian hospitality. Visit this quaint place tonight and take your tastebuds on a trip that they'll always remember.
