Mamma Santina’s has been serving the Brightwaters community since 1987 when it was only a tiny local pizza shop. It went through its first renovation in the mid 90s’ and finally its most recent one in 2022 and added a full service bar, outdoor patio and parking lot.
Mamma Santina is actually the owners' "mamma". It was named after her, to continue the legacy of her traditional style of cooking. Santina was regarded as one of the best cooks in Buseto Palizzolo, Sicily, and her sons and grandsons, today, are trying to continue that reputation in Brightwaters, NY.
"Absolutely consistent & outstanding food & service. Long Island is over saturated with bars & restaurants but the welcoming staff at Mamma Santina’s makes you want to come back, especially the bartenders Jen & Alexa. The bar & dining room is completely renovated which really enhances the guest experience. " - Mel P.
"Great place for an authentic Italian, family style cuisine. Such good people. My mother is 100% Sicilian, and very hard to impress... she was amazed gave everything a HARD five stars.... do yourself, and your loved ones, a favor.... eat at Mama Santinas!" - Mia G.
"My family and I had great meal. Everything was was exceptional. Appetizers: stuffed mushrooms and their mussels marinara (wow) then we had soup: white bean & escarole (the best) next we had their chicken special (fantastic) but the best part of our meal was the dessert. " - Kevin T.
"I’ve been coming to this place even before the renovations,, though the atmosphere was just like a old fashioned pizzeria!
The food was definitely better than most of the so called fancy restaurants I’ve encountered. The renovation is definitely a improvement and more classy!" - Rob P.
