Yesterday was simply a perfect day, sunny and beautiful, which only enhanced my experience at Niagara on the Lake. I was with a healthy group of people from Toronto and of course eating needs to be a positive experience. I fell in love with Mama Cucina has soon as I saw it. Lanterns hanging, red and white table coverings and romantic seatings for two or more. There is outdoor dining at its best but no matter where you sit, the outdoors comes to you. I don't eat meat and if I want to annoy anyone, I usually say I don't eat little animals (I don't eat big ones either) and that just get some people's back up, but at Mama's Cucina after ordering a vegetarian wrap, I received some attention. Even though the server was amazing, another came to me and made some recommendations for my wrap which of course I accepted. She indicated that it was what she normally eats. Works for me. There was mega fries and one man at my table ate most of mine and another person's as well as his own. I have no idea where he puts it all, but watching him eat reminded me of my dad. He too used to clear everyone's plate. I wish I had taken a photo of the brushetta because that in its own was amazing and the Tiramisu, well. One Italian woman who made a Tiramisu the day before and is extremely critical gave it a pass. Our table
had a great time there and the service was one of the best I have had. It felt like home. Even if you go just for the desert it is well worth a visit.
