Mama Ricotta’s

About

Mama Ricotta’s is Frank Scibelli’s Italian American restaurant on South Kings Drive in Midtown, serving Charlotte for more than three decades. A major renovation added seating and a fresh mozzarella station. The pizza is New Haven style, thin and bubbly from a wood fired oven. It remains one of the city’s quintessential family dinner destinations.

What to know

  • The tomato and mozzarella pie is the pizza to order.
  • Meatballs come roughly the size of tennis balls.
  • A sunroom handles strollers and larger family tables.
  • Reservations matter, because the wait without one is long.
