Love It!

Since Yelp keeps hiding my reviews for unkown reasons i will post it here on this much much better site:

We've been in several times, and I am always impressed. I keep meaning to write a review but never got around to it until now. My first time I was with a party of 10 for a birthday, and I had the bleu cheese smothered rib eye steak special. My server said the steak was "about 16 ounces." I ordered it anyways, and boy, she was right! It was bigger than my head! Too bad for me, it was so good I ate the whole thing anyways. Needless to say, I didn't have room for dessert that night.

The next time I came in, I had the lasagna with homemade italian sausage. Who do you know that makes their own sausage? Well, Mama Passarelli's, that's who. Again, I ate until I thought I would explode, but this time managed to save room for some triple berry crisp, which we waited 10 minutes for because IT WENT IN THE OVEN WHILE WE WERE EATING OUR DINNER! How fresh can you get! The owner, "Mama," had the timer for it around her neck while she waited on tables and greeted her guests. They brought it out and it was, of course, delicious.

I've also come in for take out a few times, and enjoyed the food just as much. Their garlic caesar dressing is to die for.

As far as service, I am always very impressed. They recognize me and the hubby when we walk through the door, and we always feel well taken care of. They even remember that the malbac is the wine I like! Do yourself a favor, bring the fam for a treat!

Best Italian

by Barb Horton at Citysearch

Mama (Ginger) Passarelli is an important and vibrant part of both the smaller AND larger community. My husband and I brought a friend/colleague and her husband to the Dinner House. Ginger was not there because she and her troop went to Joplin Missouri after devastating tornado to feed the people, one warm bowl at a time. My friend's husband handed over some cash that I don't know about, but he was a first time visitor and that happened before my very eyes. We had a MARVELOUS meal, in a lovely setting. In my opinion, this is a "Destination" restaurant that should be on the list of "most interesting" "highest quality" and "most engaged with the world."

The Best Steak and Feeling in the Northwest!!!!

by fonejunky at Citysearch

I have traveled extensively and eaten in many wonderful restaurants throughout the United States. I have paid good monies for mediocre food. I have passed Mama's place many times saying I need to go in there. Well, I finally took the leap and went for dinner. I am here to tell you that I should have done this the day t...he sign went up!!!! What a fool I was not to have stopped before. We had the Ceasar salad (one of the best) and the "Blue Cheese steak" OMG!!!! It is hard to get a steak that is cooked perfectly for any kind of money unless you pick a place that costs money as you walk in the door. This was the best steak we have ever eaten!!!! Mama hand makes her own sausage which is a mild wonderful flavored meat with the most amazing textures. The service is amazing and everyone is happy you are there. Unlike the places where you feel like you are there to help them. Thank you for such a wonderful experience Mama!

Where Garlic is an Art Form

by Dennis Brislawn at Citysearch

If you want home cooking the way you wish you could have it, every day, this is the place.

Mama's feeds the hungry, and that's everyone who can take a breath! (She also donates time and significant personal resources to all the First Responders in the local area, such as Police, Fire, and Search & Rescue, and we all enjoy her chow at all hours of the day and night.)

Every mouthful of whatever Mama is cooking is a delightful experience, and you hate to put your fork down... so get over there more than once.

• Pros: Tasty food, wonderful staff
• Cons: None except you get full
