HOT MAGAZINE RECOMMEND
Mama Mia Restaurant
T
he HOT Magazine team got
a flavourful taste of exquisite
Italian cuisine in its review
for July’s “Let’s Eat” section.
Italian food is abundant in Hua Hin, so
you could probably wonder why we
would have chosen to highlight Mamma
Mia over the rest. The reasons were
enlighteningly clear by the end of our
venture at this marvellous restaurant, so
do read on and find out why Mamma
Mia is a place you absolutely must go to
if you are fan of premium Italian food.
Across the evening, our team was
given five primordial reasons for
which we urge everyone to visit: The
first one was the classy decoration, the
ambience and the general feeling of
warmth. We walked in to some classy
90’s Italian ballads and this immediately

set the scene amongst the classic white
tablecloth, the red and fancy chairs,
stylish and bold salt shakers and postmodernist as well as cubist paintings.
The staff are all very friendly and willing
to help, to the point where they asked
us to let them know in advance next
time we went so that they could find a
suitable parking space for us as they do
for all of their customers.
The second reason already provided
us with a taste of the palate. In the form
of a wonderful Prosecco and a fruity red
wine, we were granted a classy transition
towards the third reason to visit Mamma
Mia: The starters which were presented
in formidable style. After a portion of
delicious complementary bruschetta
brought with homemade pate and salsa,
we were brought an elongated plate
of pan seared Hokkaido scallops with
green a bell pepper salad in vinaigrette.
A beautifully crafted dish, it combined
consistency with melt-in-the-mouth
softness. Striking flavours from the
pepper were excitingly balanced by the
smoky aftertaste. Then came some classic
steamed mussels with garlic and lemon,
which were wonderfully fresh, slightly
spicy, wonderfully tangy and veritably
exquisite. All of this was accompanied by
the selection of homemade breads that
were brought to us, of which the focaccia
and the classic bread sticks stood out.
The Fourth reason to dine at Mamma
Mia was brought to us in the form
of a flamboyant main course: a large
triangular dish of nicely rounded edges
presented us with a selection of ravioli
filled with spinach and fresh ricotta
