Mama Lou\u2019s Italian Kitchen was one of the South\u2018s biggest neighborhood secrets, but because good restaurants can\u2019t hide forever, it is now a dining\u00a0destination for authentic\u00a0Italian<\/strong>\u00a0eats.\u00a0It\u2019s for<\/strong>\u00a0families\u00a0and children who enjoy eating in a homey setting.\u00a0It\u2019s not for<\/strong>\u00a0people who don\u2019t like to brave the Southern commute.\u00a0We recommend<\/strong>\u00a0the Risotto Tartufo Funghi, Spaghetti Seafood Olio and\u00a0Pizza Tabarnes.\u00a0Our insider tip:<\/strong>\u00a0You may\u00a0request to have 1 pizza in 2\u00a0halves–each with a different flavor.
