    Excellent dining experience. Very quaint. The food was outstanding and the hot Italian bread is off the charts! We ordered two loaves! Can’t wait to eat at the restaurant.

    MA’s Cafe NEVER EVER disappoints. (Neither does MA’s) the food is consistently perfection, the svc is unmatched. I had the hanger steak and wow! Was it amazing. Hubs had scallops and he said it was perfect. MA’s Cafe is one of our go-to places.

    Back again one year later and just as good. Meatballs still tasty. My husband's baked ziti still fabulous. I tried something new, the chicken parmigiana and it was yummy. Coming back again one more time before we head back home. Highly recommend to everyone.
